What is flapless (seamless) implant surgery?

This term is used to describe implantation of the implant without needing to cut and stitch the gums.

In this procedure, since the implant surgery is performed without damaging the soft tissues, healing is faster and more comfortable. Not every case may be suitable for this technique. Your dentist will make the decision on this matter at the end of your examination.

It can be done in three ways

Static navigation

A three-dimensional image is processed within in a computer program to produce a guide plate.

Dynamic navigation

With new generation robot arms working with three-dimensional image.

Soft tissue acquisition

Processing of a three-dimensional image with the experience of the dentist performing the implant application and guiding the gingiva with the laser. In cases where the bone structure and anatomy are known in 3D and the bone thickness is suitable, the implant can be placed without cutting the gum. The site in the bone where the implant will be placed is opened with a laser and the implant is inserted. Since the gingiva is not cut widely, there is no need for stitches, and since the gingiva is not separated from the bone, the blood circulation of the bone around the implant is not impaired. For this reason, since trauma does not occur in the bone and gingiva, the patient experiences a comfortable and fast recovery period without additional pain and swelling.

Guided implantology

“This is an implant application that uses a computer to design an accurate guide to place the implant”

In guided implantology, 3D volumetric tomography image and intraoral measurements of the person to be implanted are taken and planned in the guide program, and the implants are placed on appropriate bone points. Thus, it is possible to place the implants in the most suitable prosthetic position with the guide plates whose angles and positions are prepared in 3D before the procedure.

Since the end prosthesis is pre-designed on the same planning application, the number of sessions required for the prosthesis after the healing process is minimized without any margin of error.
