Dental implant is defined as a prosthetic tooth treatment performed by placing a titanium screw through the jawbone to replace missing teeth. In dental implant treatment, it is possible to perform the procedure on only the affected tooth without damaging the surrounding teeth. The implanted tooth has a solid structure like the person's natural tooth and does not cause discomfort.

What is Dental Implant?

Dental implant is a surgical procedure that involves placing a metal screw (post) in place of the root of a missing tooth. This screw is then used to support a crown, bridge, or denture to be placed on top. The screw is surgically placed into the jawbone and fuses with the bone over time; this process is called "osseointegration" and creates a solid foundation for the new tooth. Once fusion is complete, the crown, bridge, or denture attached to the screw is prepared to match the person's natural teeth and aims to provide a natural appearance.

Some Features That Dental Implants Can Offer

• Durable structure: Dental implants have a durable structure that can be used for extended periods under proper maintenance conditions.
• Natural-like appearance: The implanted tooth can provide an appearance and sensation close to that of a natural tooth.
• Functional support: Can help support chewing and speaking functions.
• Bone tissue preservation: Can contribute to preventing bone loss in the jawbone.
• No need for adhesive: Since the implant is fixed to the jawbone, there is no need for adhesive as with removable dentures.
• Protection of adjacent teeth: Can help prevent shifting of neighboring teeth and support gum health.

Dental Implant Techniques in Turkey

Dental implant techniques vary depending on the patient's needs. The type of implant to be selected varies based on the type of missing tooth. The material commonly used in dental implants is titanium. Titanium is a material that is highly compatible with bone tissue and easy to implant. In rare cases, some patients may develop titanium allergy. In such cases, titanium must be removed from the body. Zirconium, a different material, can be used instead of titanium. Zirconium is a lighter and white-colored compound compared to titanium. Due to its color, zirconium can also be used in tooth restoration.

Why Should You Get an Implant?

Today, tooth loss due to dental caries, gum inflammation, dental diseases, or trauma is quite common. Following tooth loss due to any reason, dental implant is the treatment option that provides the appearance and comfort closest to natural teeth.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Dental Implant?

Dental implant is a tooth treatment option that can be considered for most adults. However, suitability may vary depending on the following factors:

• Age: Since jawbone development continues, implants are generally not recommended in children and adolescents. Dentists usually recommend waiting until at least 18 years of age.
• General health status: Since implant is a surgical procedure, general health status must be evaluated before the procedure. In patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, physician approval is evaluated separately.
• Jawbone health: The jawbone where the implant will be placed must be healthy. Additional evaluation may be needed in patients with bone loss due to gum disease, osteoporosis, or similar conditions.
• Gum health: Gums must be healthy to support the implant; if gum disease is present, it must be treated before implant placement.
• Smoking: Since smoking may negatively affect the healing process, abstinence from smoking for a certain period before and after the procedure may be requested.
• Pregnancy: Implant surgery is generally not recommended during pregnancy.

If you are unsure about your suitability, it is recommended to consult with a dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon for individual evaluation.

Is Dental Implant a Painful Procedure?

Since dental implant is a surgical procedure, some pain and sensitivity are expected following the procedure. This discomfort is usually mild to moderate and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. The level of pain experienced varies from person to person, depending on the person's pain tolerance and the complexity of the procedure (for example, placement of multiple implants or need for bone grafting).

General applications that may be recommended by the physician after the procedure include use of over-the-counter pain relievers, ice application to the face, keeping the head elevated while sleeping, eating soft foods, and avoiding strenuous physical activity. In case of severe pain, it is important to contact your physician.

Risks of Dental Implant

Risks that may be encountered during dental implant surgery generally arise from negligent pre-operative examination. During radiographic evaluation performed before implant surgery, the nerves running through the jawbone must be examined in detail. If implant surgery is performed without precisely determining nerve localization, there is a risk of the screw damaging nerve tissue.

How is Dental Implant Performed in Turkey?

Prior to implant surgery, detailed examinations are conducted to gather information about the patient's general health status and dental health. Radiological examinations are used to measure the patient's jawbones and adjacent teeth. Additionally, if the patient is using blood-thinning medications, they are asked to discontinue use before the procedure. Dental implant is performed under mild sedation administered to the patient.

In single-stage implant surgery, a temporary crown is placed on the screw after placement. In two-stage implant surgery, the surrounding tissues and gum are closed over the screw after placement to promote healing. After soft tissue healing is complete, the tooth prosthesis is placed on the screw. The expected healing time for soft tissue is generally between 3-6 months. The lower jaw heals in approximately three months, while the upper jaw heals in six months.

The process generally consists of the following stages: initial examination and imaging (X-ray/CT scan) with treatment planning, surgical placement of the screw into the jawbone, bone fusion (osseointegration) process, placement of the connector piece (abutment) on the screw after fusion is complete, and finally placement of the crown, bridge, or denture.

Post-Implant Healing Process

The healing process varies from person to person, but a general course can be observed:

• Weeks 1-2: Some swelling and sensitivity may be observed following the procedure; this usually decreases within a few days.
• Weeks 3-6: During this period, the implant enters the bone fusion process with the jawbone (osseointegration). During this process, it is recommended to avoid hard chewing on the implant side.
• Months 3-6: Once bone fusion is complete, the physician places the connector piece (abutment) and new tooth; after this stage, normal chewing and speaking functions are supported.

Following physician instructions, eating soft foods, and maintaining regular oral hygiene are important during the healing process.

What Should Be Considered After Dental Implant Surgery

After the dental implant procedure, the patient should not eat or drink anything for approximately 2-3 hours. During this time, one should wait for the anesthesia administered before the procedure to wear off. At the end of the implant procedure, a gauze pack is applied to stop bleeding. This gauze can be removed half an hour after the procedure ends. On the day of implant surgery, very hot and very cold foods should not be consumed. To prevent swelling after the procedure, it is important for the patient to apply ice (cold compress) to the implant area at short intervals. Additionally, the patient must refrain from smoking for several days after the implant.

How Long Can Dental Implants Be Used?

Dental implants are a treatment option that can be used for many years when proper maintenance conditions are provided. The average duration of use is generally evaluated in the range of 10-30 years; this period may vary depending on maintenance and individual conditions. Factors affecting the duration of use include the person's general health status, oral and dental hygiene habits, the quality of the implant material used, and proper placement of the implant into the jawbone.

How Many Trips to Turkey Are Needed for Dental Implant?

The number of trips to Turkey varies depending on the patient's condition and the complexity of the treatment plan. Generally, the process may require at least two trips: the first trip includes examination, imaging, and treatment planning; the second trip involves the implant placement procedure. After the healing time required for the implant to fuse with the bone is complete, a return trip to Turkey may be necessary for placement of the connector piece and permanent tooth. Depending on the clinic and treatment plan, the number of trips may vary; it is recommended to consult with your physician for current information.

Factors Affecting Dental Implant Prices in Turkey

The price of dental implant in Turkey varies depending on the material used during implant surgery, the type of screw, the type of prosthesis, and any additional surgical procedures performed during the procedure. Additionally, the brand of the implant used is one of the factors affecting implant prices.

Dental implant prices may differ based on the scope of treatment, such as single implant, All-on-4, All-on-6, or full-mouth implant application.
