Dental Implants

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium and are placed in the jawbone. Dental implants are permanent metal screws that secure artificial teeth, such as crowns or dentures. Dental implants are the most comfortable and natural feeling method of inserting artificial teeth.

Why are Dental Implants performed?

Dental implants are used to restore a patient’s lost or damaged teeth. Tooth loss can be due to numerous reasons including:

  • Cavities
  • Excess clenching or grinding of the teeth
  • Gum disease
  • Congenitally missing teeth
  • Facial injury

What are the conditions for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are recommended to patients who:

  • Are older than 18 as the jawbone must have reached full growth.
  • Have healthy gums and jawbone.
  • Do not suffer from systemic diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and certain autoimmune diseases as they increase risk of infection or other implant related complications.
  • Do not prefer wearing dentures.

Patients with bone loss, specifically on their jawbone, can still be eligible to have a Dental Implant after a successful bone graft procedure. Patients with gum disease will generally continue to lose gum tissue and are at greater risk of infection after the dental implant is inserted.

What are the things to be considered before Dental Implants?

The patient’s health history is taken, and it is examined to create a treatment plan for the patient. After the patient arrives in Turkey a thorough dental examination is made and includes extensive blood work to determine what kind of sedation the patient should go under. Patients also get an panoramic x-ray taken before the procedure to get precise measurements for the implants.

How are the Dental Implants inserted?

Personalized implants are produced according to the panoramic x-ray results. Local anesthesia is applied to the part of the jaw where the implant will be inserted. Then the dental surgeon makes a cut on the gums to expose the bone. Holes are then drilled into the bone to place the implant metal post deep in the bone. The gingiva in the area where the implant was placed is then sutured.

It takes 2 to 4 months for the jawbone to grow into the surface of the metal implant and merge with it. While in most cases once the bone heals over the implant the crown is attached, but in some cases the part between the implant post and the crown, abutment, will be inserted after the bone growth is complete with a minimally invasive surgery.

What are the things to be considered after getting Dental Implants?

Patients are recommended to diligently follow their surgeons instructions, which includes taking the provided prescription medicine. Patients should only eat liquid or soft food, such as smoothes or yogurt, for a week after the surgery and also avoid spicy or hot food. Smoking should be avoided for a week after the surgery as the space surrounding the new implant is an open wound and smoking will increase the risk of infection. The patient should also be attentive when rinsing or spitting and avoid touching the wound.

What are the risks of Dental Implants?

Complications from dental implants are very rare and even if they do occur, they are easily treatable. Risks of dental implants include, but are not limited:

  • Infection at where the implant was inserted.
  • Pain or loss of sense at the implant area.
  • Nerve damage.
  • The teeth or blood vessels near the implant site being damaged.
  • Sinus problems can also occur if an implant placed on the upper jaw crosses into the sinuses.

Booking Surgery
charmaine reviewed Family tree

When I think of Booking Surgery I think of a family tree with roots where our journey starts and finally ends with them giving us the tools to bloom. This has been a 4 year relationship with Booking Surgery. My journey started in sept or 2020 when I went for a gastric sleeve weighing 22 stone now down to 11.5 stone. I researched this company for months and found that they were and are one of the only ones that offer a full hospital stay from start to finish that way I knew no matter what happened I was covered in an emergency in a fully equipped hospital and not a HOTEL. The service from start to finish has been phenomenal from both my co-ordinators Basark - for my sleeve( and Mike smith for the 360fdl and arm lift and now my last one to complete my journey, my thigh lift. I had all my plastics with Dr Yalcin ( nicknamed Dr Yummy by all his patients).  Trying to do justice to his work is impossible, and he always has this amazing smile that makes you feel safe. Perfection and the hands and mind of an artist where he perfectly sculpts and moulds your body into a work of beauty.  Booking Surgery has this slogan that says  "I booked and surgery and it changed my life" and it has for me in every way possible. This would never have happened for me without Booking Surgery and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering this journey. Do you research speak to the patients and hear our lived experience. I have been to 3 of the hospitals they have used and with all of them the staff, service and experience has been amazing. From the airport transfer to the translators that meet you when you arrive, they sort all your medical tests, problems, food and anything you need they meet those needs. There are always translators available day and night male and female depending on your preference. The best part is you can bring a companion with you at no extra cost for the hospital stay and they stay in the room with you. Obviously their flights and insurance is not included. For my journey in Sept 23 I had William and Morgan, April and Nas and Nadia. They made it feel like home. They all speak fluent English and for some accents just speak a little slower. For my current stay at medistanbul it was lovely to come back to old faces like William, Morgan, April and Nadia which was so lovely to see again and new faces Frank and lastly the lovely lily, who was absolutely amazing her translating skills and problem solving made my journey even better she bonded so well with my companion who loaded her with questions for information to support other procedures that didn't include plastics that Booking Surgery was onboard to support and accommodate that would change her life, but that's not my story to tell, Booking Surgery and lilly may have made that possible again changing lives..... My journey has ended at Medistanbul and wow what a lovely placed hospital right next to a shopping mall with a starbucks which is amazing. The mall had clothing stores, a supermarket and a whole top floor for food should you want something else, they also had burger king a chicken place similar to KFC called popeys and other foods such as  pizza etc etc. Even though my journey has ended with booking surgery my support to them will not as I have recommended them to a few and 2 of my friends have booked a surgery and one has asked me to be her companion for her return. I have supported her from the start of her journey to change her life and Booking Surgery opened that door. It's funny how the connections you make in life affect you and those around you. I booked a surgery and it changed my life and because of those connections to Booking Surgery it's also changing the lives of those around me. Good ahead change your life book a surgery with Booking Surgery - Mike Smith

Even would offer to go get you a Starbucks. I came for a thigh lift with dr yalcin. My surgeon was absolutely amazing and such a lovely man.

Jayden reviewed Sleeve feb 2023 Dr Katar & 360 FDL uplift & Implants April 2024 Dr Nebil

So I originally researched a lot of companies to have my sleeve a year prior to actually having it, and booking surgery was always the one that seemed to stand out the most for all the right reasons. I went ahead and had my sleeve in February 2023 done by the very talented Dr Katar, after losing over 8 and half stone, then maintaining for several months I decided it was time for plastics, so I got in contact with my coordinator Rob Campbell and began researching which plastic surgeon I wanted, Rob was very helpful through each step of the booking process, any questions I had he answered in detail, I went ahead and booked with Dr Nebil Selimouğlu to have a 360 FDL, mons lift, muscle repair and breast uplift with implants under the muscle. I had this surgery done on 15th April 2024 at Yasam hospital, and I don’t have any complaints, the hospital was well equipped and clean, the nurses, staff & translators was all great, if I did occur anything I was unsure of I told one of the translators and it was dealt with straight away, Oscar was my favourite translator, he was very caring and compassionate and nothing was too much trouble. Dr Nabil is a magician, he’s work is impeccable and he is such a nice caring man. He came to see me every day sometimes twice a day while I was there, I think having full hospital stay while there really helps with recovery. I am very early into my recovery journey but already thinking about my next round of plastics again with Dr Nebil. I can’t recommend this company, doctors, nurses, staff and translators enough! Thanks all at booking surgery, I will see you again in the future.

customer reviewed Dr Yalcin At Medistanbul

FDL & MINI BRA LINE LIFT This was my second lot of plastic surgery with booking surgery. My surgeon was Dr Yalcin, he is also known as Dr Yummy🤣. My Coordinator was Nina Ord and she had arranged a transfer from the airport to the hospital for when I arrived, the driver was there ready and waiting as soon as I got to gate 8 (the collection point) he helped me and my companion with our bags and was very polite. The transfer from the airport to the hospital was about 30mins. I was then greeted by two members of booking surgery staff April & Lilly. My room wasn’t quite ready but while we were waiting they took myself and my companion for something to eat. Medistanbul is a new hospital that booking surgery are using so I was quite nervous about going somewhere that I hadn’t been before as my previous surgery was at medicine with Dr Yalcin. All pre op tests was done within a few hours and I was then able to walk about the mall next door to the hospital and check out my surroundings. The rooms are spacious, clean, you also have Netflix to watch too. Fast forward to the day of my surgery I reminded Dr Yalcin that I was quite poorly with my first lot of plastics and he was able to change some medication around so I wasn’t poorly when I come around. I am currently 4 days post op and I couldn’t be happier. The aftercare from Dr Yalcin has been great. Always answered any questions or worries I had. Translators Morgan, Naz and Lilly are always around if you need any help with anything. Always knocking on your door checking in on you and asking if you need anything. The cleaners have been cleaning my room on a regular basis, the nurses have been answering my buzzer when needed. Kept me up to date with my pain killers and ext. Google translate is a good app to have just in case you need something and the translators are busy with another patient. Over all my experience at medistanbul has been fab and if I wanted to come back for anything else with Dr Yalcin wouldn’t hesitate.

Natalie Innes reviewed Amazing experience by the best team!

During my time looking into various surgeons I came across many reviews and friends who had been to Turkey. I work within a professional legal setting and made checks into the experience of the surgeon and his work prior to being at Optimed. It took time to get a date that suited my work commitments as I needed time to recover. I was soo glad I waited for the best surgeon who specialises in real curves and getting the best shape to enhance my shape and goals. Dr Mehmet Emin Atil spent time going over my plans for surgery and explored the procedure in detail. He has faultless english and a reassuring nature. I do not need other surgery but my family members will and I wont hesitate to recommend. The hospital and staff are soo friendly and kind. I even managed to teach them some Glaswegian. The hospital is absolutely spotless and is central for companions to explore and have time for themselves whilst you recover. It was great having support by all the staff who are so friendly and helpful with everything. Optimed for me was a pleasant stay and the hospital is far superior to anything you will experience in the Uk.

Becki Acko reviewed Booking Surgery 3rd visit and once again very happy

I have been a total of 3 times to Istanbul via booking surgery. Each time I book Dr Soner Karaali as he is just amazing! From first contact and booking with my co-ordination Nina to leaving I never have had any issues or complaints. You are picked up from the airport and taken to your hospital, on arrival all relevant tests are carried out to ensure you are fit and healthy for the surgery. On the morning the surgeon visits and goes through what you would like as pre discussed and once agreed for desired results you are drawn up and then taken to theatre. The hospital staff, nurses and cleaning crew are always so kind and caring, friendly and professional. You have interpreters on hand 24/7 asking if you would like/need anything. All meals are provided too as well as protein shakes throughout the day. This visit I’ve had the amazing Lily, Morgan, Frank, Naz and Gabriel. Nothing is too much trouble at all they are fantastic. And most importantly my surgical results are as always phenomenal if I do say so myself 🩷
