The first stage of your treatment is implant treatment, and in the second stage, the implant is expected to knit to your bone between 3-6 months and then the porcelain will be placed on the implant within a week. The construction time of a single implant is approximately 10-15 minutes.The time elapsed after the start of an implant is only 3-4 minutes. During this period, the patient certainly does not feel pain due to anesthesia. After 2-3 hours drowsiness goes off, taking a painkiller may be required in first two days.

The reason why impacted wisdom teeth is a problem is that genetically this tooth is not needed and our jaws are shrinking. As our jaws shrink, wisdom teeth are forced to find a place for themselves and therefore cannot grow like other teeth. The wisdom teeth, which cannot find their place, push the frontal teeth and this causes crooked teeth. They are also easily inflamed because they are too far behind and they do not have a normal anatomical structure.
