What is a dental implant?

When a tooth has been lost or has been removed due to decay, a metal dental implant is placed into the jawbone as an artificial tooth root. Made of titanium, and compatible with human tissues, dental implants have become a common form of dental treatment in recent years. Over time they promote regeneration of bone when implanted into the jaw to replace the root of a missing tooth, creating a firm anchor for the prosthetic crown attached to the implant.

Implants come as three components: i) a titanium implant thread screwed into the jawbone, ii) the abutment, a titanium extension post attached to the implant and which supports the iii) dental crown, a new and permanent prosthetic tooth.

What are the advantages of a teeth implant?

• Blends perfectly with the patient’s natural teeth
• Lifetime guarantee
• Unlike dentures, speech and chewing function is unimpaired
• There is no risk of decay
• Compared with a dental bridge, implants are easy to clean, and thus more hygienic
• Treatment is performed without disturbing the healthy teeth on either side
• Complete tooth loss in the lower jaw promotes bone loss, dental implants reverse this degradation
• Dentures fitted to the upper jaw are uncomfortable and liable to slip, whereas implanted teeth are as stable as natural teeth
• Dental implants do not cause nausea, and do not interrupt the ability to taste
• Implanted teeth appear as normal teeth with no evidence of attachments such as hooks used in dentures

Is Dental implant treatment painful?

No, as dental implant procedures are performed under local anaesthesia. We also apply ‘needle-free’ injections for those patients with a fear of needles. However, you may experience pain if teeth need to be extracted prior to dental implant surgery – this can last for two days and can be relieved with painkilling medicine.

Who can receive dental implants?

Implants are suitable for adult patients of all ages, and is generally requested by older individuals. Implants are not recommended for patients under the age of eighteen due to incomplete bone development. It is important that patients with diabetes inform us before undergoing implant surgery, as they will need to have a blood test for Haemogulabin A1C before we can treat them. If the diabetic patient has very high sugar values, the body will not accept the implant.

Is there a limit of how many implants per person?

There is no limit to the number of implants for a healthy mouth. However, it is not advisable to replace the implant for each tooth individually, but instead an implant can be made to replace multiple teeth using bridgework.

How many visits are required for tooth implants?

It usually takes three days for implant treatment: the first day for consultation, the second for the implant surgery, and the third day – two days later – for a check up. As bone-to-implant fusion time varies according to the patient’s bone structure, a further visit will be required 3-6 months later for the attachment of crowns and, if necessary, bridges.

How long do the implants last?

With proper professional treatment, personal dental aftercare, and periodic clinical controls, high-quality implants can last comfortably for as much as a lifetime.

Guarantees for teeth implants

We give legal lifetime guarantees on all implants offered by our clinic. After treatment, the patient will be given a guarantee card for the implant used.  We will also register this guarantee on-line.

What if I have a problem with the teeth implant?

In the unlikely event that the implant becomes detached from the jawbone, we will consider the health of the patient’s bone, and if possible, will replace the implant with a new, and slightly larger, implant. These rare instances usually occur within three months of surgery, and when the patient has not followed careful oral health aftercare instructions. Smoking after implant surgery has a detrimental effect on bone growth, and will cause an implant to not being seated into the jaw properly!

Surgical Guide and application (Computer Guided Dental Implant)

As ‘New Teeth Turkey’ we keep up with all the latest technological advances in implant dentistry, and one of these is Computer Guided Implants and surgical guides.

Firstly, measurements are taken of the patient’s lower and upper jaws. Then, using our Volumetric Tomography Scanner, three-dimensional images are taken of the patient’s mouth area. These results are fed into a three-dimensional simulation program, where treatment options are then added by our dental physician. A plaster cast of the jaw is made, and close examination of this is undertaken by our dental physician and technicians, who will make any necessary changes to angles and positions.

The final guide of the jaw is prepared as a gingival (gum) overlay, known as a surgical guide, and is delivered to the dental physician. Then, if the patient’s bone structure is sufficient, the operation can go ahead without any cutting into the gums, and therefore removing the need for stitches.

We do not charge any extra fees for this treatment application in our clinic.

What are the advantages of computer guided implants?

The procedure takes very little time, doesn’t involve any incisions into the patient’s gums, the surgical guide provides accurate angles for the implant, and the healing time is drastically reduced. Added to which, our dental surgeon is probably the most experienced in this field in Turkey, and you, as the patient, can be rest assured that you are in the best hands.
