Before implant application, the level of the jawbone should be examined in detail with the clinical and radiological examination. If, as a result of these examinations, a problem is detected in the gums and oral-dental health, these problems should be resolved before the implant treatment. Radiological examination is performed to evaluate bone height, quality, and thickness. Tomography may also be requested from the patients for a detailed evaluation of bone height and density.

Is a panoramic x-ray sufficient?

Panoramic x-rays provide only two-dimensional information. On the other hand, dental tomography provides detailed images of soft tissues and bones that are not visible on x-rays. Three-dimensional dental tomography is used in dental implant planning. Therefore, for patients with low or borderline bone density, dental tomography is more reliable than x-rays.

Can I receive an implant treatment in Turkey even if I have osteoporosis?

People with osteoporosis in the body may not have osteoporosis in their mouths. Since osteoporosis in the body and osteoporosis in the mouth are different from each other, a detailed examination is required before implant treatment.
