If the bones are not strong enough to carry the implants, bone strengthening treatment is performed by the dentist before the application. However, the actual treatment begins only after this treatment is completed and it is ensured that the patient has bones suitable for implants. It takes 2-4 months for the implant treatment to be completed.

When it is detected that the implants placed in the bone have still not fused to the bone despite waiting for 2 to 4 months for osseointegration, it means that the relevant application has failed. The main reason for this problem, also known as implant failure, is that the bones are not strong enough to carry the implant. This should be examined by a dentist before the application, and additional treatments should be applied if deemed necessary.

Implant teeth are long-lasting like original teeth if maintained regularly and attention is paid to oral hygiene. How long an implant remains in the mouth varies depending on oral hygiene, bone structure and regular check-ups; the same outcome cannot be guaranteed for every patient.

Implants can be applied to anyone who has a missing tooth and whose existing bone structure is suitable for treatment. However, the important criterion here is that the bones have completed their development. Implants applied to developing bones may cause problems after a while, and these implants may need to be replaced. Therefore, the lower limit for implant treatment is 18 years. Implants can be made to anyone who has reached the age of 18.

As with all teeth, cleaning and care are very important for implant teeth. In fact, it can be said that these teeth are a little more important. Implant teeth should be brushed regularly and dental floss should be used if necessary. Gargling can also be done at certain intervals to ensure complete oral hygiene. Substances such as food residue that accumulate around the implant can cause problems such as tartar and gum recession in the long term.
