Dental Implant Construction is one of the most permanent solutions both aesthetically and functionally for people who have experienced tooth loss. Implants act as natural tooth roots, increasing chewing power, improving speech clarity, and restoring smile aesthetics. However, this treatment consists of several stages and requires expertise at every step.
In this article, we detail the process of how dental implant construction progresses.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium and placed into the jawbone. A prosthetic tooth made of porcelain or zirconium is placed on top, restoring the function and appearance of the missing tooth. It can be applied in many different cases, from a single missing tooth to complete toothlessness.
Stages of Dental Implant Construction
1. Examination and X-ray Evaluation
In the first step, a detailed intraoral examination is performed. The condition of the jawbone is evaluated using panoramic X-rays and, if necessary, 3D tomography. If bone density and height are not suitable for the implant, additional treatments may be planned.
2. Implant Placement (Surgical Stage)
Under local anesthesia, the implant is placed into the jawbone. This procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes and is painless for the patient. A waiting period of 2 to 3 months is needed for the implant to fuse with the bone.
3. Healing Process and Follow-Up
During this process, the implant bonds with the bone (osseointegration). A temporary prosthetic tooth may be used if necessary. The healing process is monitored with regular check-ups.
4. Placement of Abutment and Permanent Tooth
Once the implant is fully integrated into the bone, the abutment (upper connector piece) is placed. The dentist prepares and secures a prosthetic tooth tailored to the patient’s oral structure and existing teeth.
5. Check-Up and Final Touches
After treatment is completed, chewing function, aesthetic harmony, and hygiene training are provided. For long-term success of the implant, regular care and check-ups are essential.
