When is a Dental Implant Worth It?
The loss of a tooth affects how we eat, speak, and feel in everyday life. A dental implant offers a high-quality medical option to restore chewing function and aesthetics permanently. But is an implant the best choice in every situation?
At Clinichaus, we do not view implantology as a standard solution for everyone. In this guide, you will learn which requirements must be met for successful treatment and when alternative restorations might be more sensible.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant acts as an artificial tooth root, usually made of biocompatible titanium or ceramic. It fuses firmly with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. The decisive advantage: It transmits chewing forces directly into the bone, thus preventing the bone loss that often occurs with conventional bridges.
Who can a dental implant be suitable for?
An implant is potentially the right choice if a permanent solution is sought and growth is complete. It is particularly advantageous if neighboring teeth are healthy and should not be ground down for a bridge. However, a prerequisite is sufficient bone quality and healthy gums.
Who is a dental implant generally NOT suitable for?
Ethics in dentistry also means clearly naming risks. An implant is not suitable for untreated periodontitis, severe chronic diseases (such as uncontrolled diabetes), or heavy smoking, as this endangers healing. In such cases, we examine stable alternatives together with you.
Why is an individual examination crucial?
No remote diagnosis replaces the clinical examination. Using modern 3D X-ray procedures (CBCT), we analyze the bone structure and the course of nerve pathways. Only this data allows for safe planning. Guidance on global safety standards can also be found at the International Team for Implantology (ITI) (external link).
Treatment in Turkey – what should you look out for?
Turkey offers highly specialized centers for implantology. Trust is built here through state-of-the-art diagnostics, the use of internationally recognized implant systems, and seamless communication in English. At Clinichaus, medical safety stands above the time factor.
Durability, Care & Individual Results
The longevity of an implant depends largely on your cooperation. Since an implant possesses no natural defense mechanisms, excellent domestic care and regular prophylaxis are essential. Results can vary, which is why long-term aftercare is part of our concept.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Implants
How important is the medical assessment?
It is the foundation. Only a specialist can judge after a 3D analysis whether the foundation is sufficient for a lifelong load.
Do I have to decide immediately after the consultation?
No. Implantation is a long-term decision. We give you all the facts so that you can weigh them in peace.
Your Oral Health is Individual
A dental implant should always be chosen based on facts and individual benefit. We invite you to ask your questions without decision pressure in a relaxed atmosphere.
