3DC Tomography
When performing complex procedures such as dental implants, the dentist needs to know what lies beneath the surface of your gums and teeth. In such cases, CT scans are necessary to fully examine your teeth. The dentist can correctly identify the position of the bony structures around your face, nasal cavity and sinuses. This allows evaluation of the current disease and also allows surgical treatment to be arranged.
Dentists use tomographic examinations mainly for the following purposes:
- Implant planning: Before dental implants are placed, the bone volume is evaluated, especially in relation to the position of the sinuses and the possibility of sinus elevator procedures.
- The locations of important nerve canals are evaluated and determined before dental implants are placed.
- Surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth is planned.
- Detection and surveillance of jaw tumors.
- Finding and diagnosing abnormal roots.
Computed tomography of the teeth does not require any special preparation. All objects that may interfere with the image should be removed:
- Tongue piercings
- Nose piercings
- Facial piercings
- Necklaces
- Hair pins or hair clips
- Fitted temporary dentures.
Unlike outpatient CT scans in the hospital, dental scans are usually done standing up.
Simply stand in the designated area in front of the scanner, grasp the bars in front of you and hold your head still. The whole procedure only takes a few minutes and is completely painless.
If you need to undergo a CT scan of your teeth, Panoramic Dental Clinic in Antalya can provide you with a quality CT scan with the help of modern equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Single tooth implantation is a treatment method used when a single tooth is missing.
There are many brands, both domestic and foreign, that manufacture implants. The brands of implants are important to keep your teeth healthy and not to face any problems. At Panoramic Dental Clinic, we use domestic brands of implants, Megagen ST implant, Medentica implant (BY STRAUMANN), Nobel Biocare implant, Astra Tech implant and Straumann Roxolide implant for single tooth implant treatment.
In order for an implant to be placed, the tooth growth process must be complete and the bone must have reached an adequate level. The placed implant acts as the root of the tooth. Therefore, the stronger the bone structure around the implant, the better the attachment of the screw to the bone.
A single tooth implant procedure in Turkey takes 30-60 minutes.
In the past, only treatment methods such as bridges or dentures were preferred for the loss of a single tooth, but due to advances in dentistry, the treatment process has become easier with the use of implants. Due to the fact that the teeth on the sides of the gap are cut and reduced when treated with bridges, implants are much more preferred than bridges today.
Your dentist will choose the most appropriate method for you. In most cases, the implant method is preferred when a single tooth is extracted for the following reasons: implants do not require the grinding of neighboring teeth. Implantation preserves the jawbone as there is no bone resorption. Since the jawbone in the area of tooth loss is preserved, aesthetic problems associated with bone resorption in future implant treatment are minimized.
