Dental implants
Dental implants are one of the most common procedures in the current era. They are considered an integrated process that improves the appearance of teeth so that they look like natural teeth when they fuse with the bone.
DentCenterTurkey offers a lifetime warranty on dental implants, making them one of the best dental replacement options.
Dental implants are also very important in improving speech compared to composite dentures that slip and cause problems during speech.
Dental implants help facilitate eating and comfort. They are considered natural teeth that relax the mouth. Unlike composite dentures, they are very comfortable for chewing food.
Implant teeth restore your sense of your teeth and last a long time. They also preserve the other natural teeth in the mouth and reduce the percentage of loss of the rest of the adjacent teeth. Dental implants are the most appropriate solution for those who have lost their teeth if they want to restore them and enjoy continuous oral health away from any infections or problems.

What is dental implant?
Dental implants are the extraction of a damaged tooth and the installation of another one with titanium islands. It involves a surgical procedure and local anesthesia and costs more for the installation, but it is more comfortable than a dental implant. It lasts longer, does not affect speech, and does not hinder chewing food. Dental implants are the replacement of a missing or damaged part of a tooth, whether from a fracture or decay that has affected the tooth, with an artificial part that replaces the missing part and is placed to compensate for the tooth, protect a weak tooth, cover a deformed tooth, and cover a large filling.
What is the difference between dental implants and dental crowns?
It is an effective way to replace missing teeth with artificial teeth that are designed to fit the gums and other teeth, heal with the bone, replace the natural tooth islands and perform their function for a long time.
Cost of dental implants in Türkiye?
Each tooth has a specific price, as the difference in tooth sizes and shapes is a factor that affects the price of the tooth. In Turkey, one tooth costs an average of about $500. A tooth is implanted when a tooth is completely lost, and if more than one tooth is lost in succession, a bridge is installed between them, as there is no need to make an implant for each missing tooth. In most cases, where there is no complete loss of a tooth, the tooth can be treated and crowned using zirconia, as the cost of crowning using zirconia is only $150. To find out the most appropriate treatment for you, you can send a picture of your teeth to our customer advisor to inform you of the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
What are the components of a dental implant?
Implant body: It is the body that replaces the tooth islands and is usually made of titanium because it heals quickly with the bone. Its size changes according to the area where the tooth is located and the size of the person’s gums and teeth.
Closing screw: It is placed on top of the implant body after the implant is placed and the prosthetic part is fixed on it.
Recovery and healing cover: It is a cover that remains on top of the implant body and screw until the new tooth is installed.
Prosthetic part: It is the conclusion and means the new tooth that will be installed and connected to the implant body and the implant is completed.
How is dental implantation performed?
After the patient decides to have the implant procedure, the doctor takes the necessary measures such as X-rays and bone and gum health analyses for dental implantation and sees if there are any physical health problems that affect the procedure. If the patient’s health allows him to have the procedure and the procedure is performed, how is it done:
The first step: Determine the location of the implant, sterilize the implant site, and anesthetize the patient with a local anesthetic.
The second step: It is the step of incising the gums, exposing the bone, and making holes in the bone to place the implant in its place.
The third step: Covering the implant or graft with gum tissue and closing the minor wound caused.
The time taken to implant each tooth varies from one doctor to another, but the average is one to one and a half hours for each tooth.
In DentCenterTurkey and with the experience of our doctors, implanting one tooth takes only 15 minutes.
What happens after dental implants and proper care?
After placing the implants, the bone grows in the jaw and merges with them. This takes a few months during which the patient does not feel any deficiency or discomfort from the teeth if they are taken care of completely.
Dental care in the first months is very important and is considered a factor in determining the age of the implanted tooth, its strength, and its lack of exposure to any infections.
Are implants difficult to clean?
No, but aftercare is important if you are to have a successful, long-lasting implant. Your dental team should give you detailed advice on how to care for your implant.

What if I get into an accident?
Implants and the teeth they support can be damaged in the same way as natural teeth so it is important to wear a professional mouth guard if you play sports that involve activities that could cause injury to your teeth. However, if the titanium implant itself is damaged beyond repair it can be safely left in the jaw if it is difficult to remove another implant may be fitted alongside it to replace the damaged one.

This is very rare and the jaw will heal very normally and once the jaw heals another implant can be placed there or the dentist can make a bridge to fit it over the implanted teeth which has been successful.
