Apex Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic team is one of the pioneers in our country in the area of contemporary implantology with its experience. Our implantology team equipped with experience and contemporary knowledge has proven its success in dental implants by choosing the right patient and its scientific practices.

Absence of single tooth

In case of a single tooth loss; the teeth on both sides of the missing tooth are preserved and a single implant is placed in the place of the missing tooth. In case of the absence of single tooth, the treatment which should be consider in the last place is to cut and shrink the adjacent two teeth and make a triple crown bridge prothesis. When choosing a treatment method, the most appropriate method for the patient must be chosen regardless of its duration and difficulty. Cutting the teeth may cause sensitivity and pulpal necrosis in these teeth and it may eventually lead to root canal treatment and cavities under the crowns in the later stages.

Regional absence of teeth

While traditionally prepared bridge restorations require teeth to be cut in case of partial absence of
teeth, in implant practices your healthy teeth do not need to be cut or damaged.
When more than one tooth is missing inside the mouth, fixed crowns placed on dental implants are the kind of dentures which save patients from mobile dentures which can be put on and off all the time especially when jaws ending up totally toothless are in question.

Cases of complete edentation

The case where all the teeth are absent is called edentation. In such cases, there are several different treatment options. These options include mobile dentures. This type of dentures, as it can be understood by its name, move during the act of chewing and this situation is not comfortable. For patients experiencing complete edentation, the most comfortable treatment option is the dental implant treatment. In cases where a sufficient number of implants can be applied, implementation of fixed dentures is possible and these dentures do not move. The structure which can fully perform chewing, talking and aesthetics can be kept fixed inside the mouth.

Stem cell assisted implant applications

Fibrin (PRF™), rich in platelets, is an autogenous matrix obtained from platelets in the patient’s blood. The simplified procedure applied chairside ensures the production of fibrin membrane that stimulates bone and soft tissue growth. It is flexible, strong and pliable in a manner that facilitates usage, cutting and sewing. It is easily prepared chairside. It is basically prepared with a protocol involving the centrifugation of a certain amount of the patient’s blood and preparation of the obtained membrane in such a manner that it will have a fixed width and cutting it in the appropriate size. The rate of success of dental implants prepared in accordance with this protocol is increased. The problems of patients who suffer from insufficient bone and gums problems are eliminated faster.

Sedative interventions

Patient is conscious but is in a state of mild sleep. The patient follows commands. It is applied in small doses through an IV opened on the arm. This method is usually preferred in adult patients who have dental fears, patients who have excess nausea-gag reflex and patients for whom general anesthesia may be risky. In addition, it is also used in short procedures to be carried out on children.
Recovery process is quick at the end of the sedation procedure. Patient remembers nothing after the procedure. 

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURES

Implant-assisted fixed dentures

Titanium implants manufactured with high-tech have in fact eliminated many chronic problems in
dentistry. Implant-assisted fixed dentures eliminate all the problems caused by mobile dentures for
edentulous patients who use total dentures and provides them with great comfort.
In order to be able to make implant-assisted fixed dentures, at least 6 implants should be placed on the lower jaw and at least 6 to 8 implants on the upper jaw.
Nowadays the preferred form of treatment is the completely fixed dentures made by increasing the
number of implants. Patients who get highly aesthetic dentures in the form of natural teeth also get an increased self-confidence.

Implant-assisted mobile dentures

It is the method of turning the protheses of patients who use totally mobile dentures into semi-fixed dentures. In this case the patient can turn their totally mobile dentures into semi-fixed dentures with just 2 or 4 implants. The patient can take out and clean their dentures whenever they wish to do so.
