Closest to a natural tooth
The crown placed on an implant delivers the look and function closest to a natural tooth.
Dental Implants
The most permanent solution for missing teeth. Every case is assessed individually with 3D imaging and clinical examination.
CBCT-led planning
Implant cases are planned after reviewing bone volume and restorative requirements together.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant replaces both the root and the visible part of a missing tooth — functionally and aesthetically. A titanium or zirconia screw is placed in the jawbone, then a crown or bridge is fitted on top.
At Bergedent, every implant case is assessed by MSc Dt. Tunç Berge using CBCT (cone-beam CT). Bone volume, density and anatomy are evaluated before a written treatment plan is issued.
Advantages of Dental Implants
Preserves jawbone
Without a tooth root, the jawbone resorbs over time. An implant stimulates the bone and prevents this loss.
No damage to adjacent teeth
Unlike a bridge, neighbouring teeth do not need to be trimmed.
Long-term solution
With proper care and annual check-ups, an implant can function for a lifetime.
Clinical assessment
Occlusion, hygiene, and long-term maintenance are also reviewed before surgery is scheduled.
Treatment Process
01
CBCT Scan & Clinical Examination
3D imaging analyses bone volume and quality. Appropriate implant type, diameter and length are determined.
02
Surgical Placement
The implant screw is placed in the jawbone under local anaesthesia. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes.
03
Healing (Osseointegration)
Biological integration between implant and bone takes place. This process takes 6–12 weeks.
04
Prosthetic Stage
After healing, the abutment and crown are placed, completing the functional and aesthetic restoration.
When Implants Are Indicated
- Single missing tooth
- Multiple missing teeth (alternative to conventional bridge)
- Complete edentulism (All-on-4 / All-on-6 implant-supported prosthetics)
- Patients wishing to stabilise a removable denture
- Patients with adequate bone volume or after bone grafting
Frequently Asked Questions
Is implant surgery painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia — no pain during surgery. Mild discomfort afterwards is normal and usually resolves within 2–3 days.
Is there an age limit for implants?
Any adult whose jawbone has finished developing (typically 18+) can receive an implant. There is no upper age limit; general health is assessed case by case.
How long does an implant last?
With regular oral hygiene and annual check-ups, the implant fixture can last a lifetime. The crown on top can be replaced after around 10–15 years.
Can an implant be placed with insufficient bone?
If bone volume is inadequate, bone grafting or sinus lifting can be performed to create the necessary foundation. This adds one treatment stage.
How many appointments are needed?
A single implant typically requires 2–3 clinical visits (examination/CBCT, surgery, prosthetics). Including osseointegration time, total treatment duration ranges from 3–6 months.
