Dental Implants in Turkey

What are Dental Implants

A dental implant is a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. It’s an a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, securely placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants not only restore your smile, but they also improve chewing function, prevent bone loss, and maintain facial structure.

At TrustCare, our dental implant specialists use cutting-edge technology to ensure a comfortable and precise treatment experience. Implants are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a confident and beautiful smile.

Benefits of Dental Implant

Natural Look and Feel: Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Preserves Jawbone: Implants help prevent bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing.

Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants do not require adjacent teeth to be filed down.

Stability: Implants provide a secure fit, unlike removable dentures that can slip.

Types of Dental Implants

Endosteal Implants: The most common type, placed directly into the jawbone.

Subperiosteal Implants: Placed under the gum but above the jawbone, often used when there is insufficient bone height.

Procedure Steps

Consultation and Planning: Involves dental exams, X-rays, or 3D imaging to assess bone structure and plan the procedure.

Surgical Placement: The implant is placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure.

Healing Period: The bone integrates with the implant over several months.

Abutment Placement: A connector (abutment) is placed on the implant after healing.

Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown is attached to the abutment.

Post-Procedure Care

Good oral hygiene is essential for the longevity of the implant. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.

Avoiding smoking, excessive alcohol, and hard foods can also prolong the life of the implant.

Immediate Post-Operative Care

Rest: Avoid strenuous activities and keep pressure off the implant area.

Pain: Use prescribed or over-the-counter pain meds and apply ice to reduce swelling.

Diet: Stick to soft foods and avoid smoking, alcohol, or straws.

Oral Hygiene: Rinse gently with saline and brush carefully around the implant.

Swelling: Use ice and keep your head elevated when sleeping.

Follow-up: Attend all check-ups. Contact your dentist if you notice severe pain, bleeding, or infection.

Success Rate

Dental implants have a high success rate, typically over 95% when placed by an experienced professional and with proper care.

Bone Health is Critical

Adequate bone density is necessary for the stability of the implant. Bone grafting might be required if there isn’t enough bone.

Long-term Durability

With proper care, dental implants can last many years, even a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.
