Treatment of tooth loss is of great importance in oral and dental health, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. The most preferred methods among these treatments are dental implants, dental bridges and removable dentures. So what are the differences between these three treatment methods?

Implant Treatment Process

Implant treatment first begins with a detailed examination and planning process. At this stage, the jaw structure, bone density and general health status are evaluated. In particular, the jaw bone is examined millimeter by millimeter with three-dimensional dental tomography and the area where the implant will be placed is determined. If there are systemic diseases (diabetes, blood pressure, etc.), it should be evaluated separately in terms of implant success.

After the planning is completed, the surgical operation phase is started. In this procedure, which is usually performed under local anesthesia and sterile conditions, the gum is opened and the implant is placed in the jaw bone. The duration of the operation may vary depending on the number of implants and the complexity of the procedure.

The healing process begins after the implant is placed. In the first stage, the stitches are removed within a week, while it usually takes 3-6 months for the implant to fuse with the bone. At the end of this period, healing caps are attached and the gums are shaped. Then, a personalized prosthesis is prepared according to the measurements taken and placed on the implant. This prosthesis can be in the form of a bridge, crown or full denture. When the treatment is completed, a result that resembles the appearance and use of natural teeth is achieved both aesthetically and functionally.

Bridge Treatment Process

Bridge dental treatment is a fixed prosthesis treatment applied to complete one or more missing teeth. Before starting the treatment, the patient's mouth is examined in detail and elements such as the condition of the missing teeth, the strength of the neighboring teeth, and the jaw structure are evaluated. The dentist decides which type of bridge treatment will be applied thanks to the panoramic x-ray and mouth measurements taken. If the patient's mouth structure is suitable, the procedure is started.

In the most commonly applied traditional bridge method, the healthy teeth on both sides of the missing tooth are shaved and reduced. These teeth are used as the support teeth on which the bridge prosthesis will be fixed. The prepared bridge is fixed to these teeth with special adhesives. In implant-supported bridges, the implant is first placed in place of the missing tooth and then the bridge is built on it. After the treatment is completed, the dentist checks to verify that the patient's chewing, speaking and aesthetic needs are met. The bridge can be used for many years with proper care, but since the natural structure of the neighboring teeth may be damaged, the physician's evaluation is important.

Prosthesis Treatment Process

Fixed, removable and implant-supported prostheses are effective treatment options for completing tooth deficiencies aesthetically and functionally. These prosthesis applications are planned specifically for the patient according to their tooth structure, jaw condition and aesthetic expectations. Biocompatible and aesthetic materials such as zirconium and porcelain laminate are generally preferred in fixed prostheses. The treatment process begins with precise measurements and the aim is to design the restoration as close as possible to the natural tooth form.

During the first rehearsal, the intraoral compatibility of the selected material is evaluated and patient comfort is observed. In the final rehearsal, aesthetic details, color harmony and function are checked and necessary corrections are made.

After the restoration is polished and brightened in the laboratory, it is fixed to the tooth with special cements with the patient's approval. In the last step, the patient is informed about oral hygiene, maintenance recommendations that will extend the life of the prosthesis and regular control intervals. Fixed prostheses prepared in this way offer an appearance close to natural enamel and the advantage of long-lasting use.

How Do I Choose Which Treatment Type is Suitable for Me?

If you are missing teeth, you may have different treatment options such as implants, bridges or dentures. However, the answer to the question "Which treatment is best for me?" does not depend on a single factor; it depends on your oral structure, general health status, aesthetic expectations and budget. This is where Nanodent's expert physician staff and advanced technology-supported examination process come into play.

If you are missing a single tooth and your jawbone is sufficient, implant treatment may be the most natural and long-lasting solution for you. Nanodent analyzes your jawbone millimetrically with three-dimensional tomography devices and plans the most suitable implant for you. If you are missing more than one tooth and your neighboring teeth are healthy, dental bridges that offer successful results in terms of aesthetics may be recommended. However, since neighboring teeth must be cut for the bridge, this decision requires careful evaluation.

If you are missing many teeth or have lost all your teeth, removable or implant-supported dentures may be preferred. Fixed zirconium coatings or personalized removable dentures applied at Nanodent provide high patient satisfaction in terms of natural appearance and comfortable use. To decide which method is most suitable for you, Nanodent's experienced prosthodontists will guide you in the most accurate way with both detailed intraoral examination and digital imaging systems. In short, the treatment choice should not be made randomly, but with a personalized plan. This individual treatment plan prepared for each patient at Nanodent aims for the best results in terms of health, aesthetics and comfort. It is enough to make an appointment with Nanodent's expert staff to learn the treatment that is right for you.

Crowns are more durable than veneers and are designed to withstand the daily pressure of chewing.
