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.

The duty of care has been 100% by the surgeon, care team & the translators, especially Bill who has gone above and beyond to make sure we have had the best stay in yasam. He really is the best and couldn't do enough ensure our stay was positive, and comfortable. Steve & Akin have attended to our needs tirelessly daily, along with all the other care colleagues and given the best care ever. The meals were not always good, but did have several options, although if you're English the combination of variety didn't always go together Protein is a big factor for recovery by the hospital, but the catering team need room for improvement based on protein meal choices. The cleaners cater to you're needs aswell not just to keeping your rooms clean and fresh bedding, they help in any other ways they can. I recommend yasam hospital for surgery and care, the team give 100% in everything they do Thank you floor 2 you've been absolutely amazing . ❤️

Julia Walker reviewed 5***** at Yasam

The interpreters were amazing, couldn’t be more helpful, especially Bill who went above & beyond to accommodate us & our quirky ways. The nurses & care assistants couldn’t be more attentive & patient, and worked tirelessly to give round the clock care, especially Steve & Akin. The surgeon Dr Fatih was thorough in his examination & aftercare, I can’t thank everyone enough, and feel confident about the surgery I have had at Yasam hospital. There is room for improvements with meals, & could be better coordination in line with aftercare meal suggestions for recovery. Though you do get 3 meals a day & there is an area to get a drink or sweet snack. I do feel that everyone involved in our care gave 100% & recommend bookingsurgery.com & Yasam hospital for anyone considering surgery.

Poppi reviewed Breast Augmentation with Booking Surgery

I had a fabulous experience with Booking Surgery for my breast augmentation. From start to finish the whole process was so smooth and easy, and made better by my co ordinator Pierre. He was kind and reassuring, and honestly couldn’t do enough for me. He responded swiftly to my questions and queries, nothing was to much for him and I’m so grateful! My surgeon, Dr Ömer Parıldar, was fantastic, and gave me exactly what I wanted. He was very involved with the process visiting me daily after the operation, which was great to ask any questions and put me at ease that my recovery was going well. The staff at Medistanbul were angels, from the nurses to the cleaners everyone was so friendly and caring in their roles. Some more staff from Booking Surgery is like to mention is David Tucker who came to visit me on the ward and chat, which was lovely to meet someone who’s an advocate for what this company can do to improve someone’s entire life! And also, Nadia, who frequently chatted with me made sure I had everything I need, she is a huge asset to this company and for me, the kind and reassuring smiling face you’d need at a time like this. Thank you so much to booking surgery, if I could give more stars I would☺️

Jade Senior reviewed Thank you so much!

Can’t recommend booking surgery enough! WOW. From first consultation, being picked up at the airport, the hospital and all the staff. I can’t fault one single thing! There is always a professional translator but honestly everyone’s English is so good! The nurses are so so attentive and nothing is too much, smiling from start to the finish of their shift. I felt so looked after at every stage. The surgeon went above and beyond my expectations and I can’t believe my new body, booking surgery has given me a new life. And I’ll be forever grateful So clean and you stay in the hospital your whole stay, regular check ups, monitoring and 24/7 care always! I don’t even have any flaws! An amazing surgery with affordable prices, if you’re hesitating don’t! Just do it! My only regret is not doing it sooner! Thank you so much !

Vanessa Smale reviewed I have had a gastric sleeve

I have had a gastric sleeve. The nurses are always smiling and so friendly. The after care is perfect. You always have an interpreter to hand. I was extremely nervous travelling to another country for surgery, but everything has been great.
