Implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made of titanium, surgically placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. These artificial roots provide a solid and permanent foundation for a crown (porcelain teeth), bridge, or denture.
Dental implants are considered the closest solution to natural teeth among dental prosthetics because they replace not only the visible portion (crown) of a missing tooth but also the root function.

Advantages of Implant Treatment
Implant treatment offers several significant advantages over other traditional solutions (bridges, removable dentures):
- Natural Look and Feel: A crown placed on an artificial root provides a result closest to a natural tooth, both aesthetically and functionally.
- Protection of Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridgework, there is no need to cut (reduce) healthy teeth adjacent to the missing tooth.
- Prevention of Osteoporosis: Implants apply pressure to the jawbone like a natural root, preventing bone resorption.
- Permanence and Confidence: If properly cared for, implants can last a lifetime and, unlike removable dentures, provide stability and confidence.
Treatment Process at Karaca Dental Clinic
The key stages of implant treatment performed by dentists Furkan KARACA and Emirhan KARACA in Alanya are as follows:
- Planning: A detailed 3D imaging (tomography) is used to examine the jawbone's thickness, height, and nerve location. This allows us to determine the safest and most suitable location for the implant.
- Surgical Procedure: The implant is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia (while the patient is awake and painless).
- Healing (Osseointegration): A specific waiting period (usually 2-4 months) is allowed for the implant to integrate with the jawbone. This process is vital to the success of the treatment.
- Suprastructure (Crown) Application: After healing is complete, a porcelain crown, prepared from an impression, is fixed onto the implant.
