Dental implants in Turkey are great because of modern technology and experienced dentists. Many clinics have modern equipment similar to those in Europe and America. And because Turkey is easily accessible, people from all over the world can easily go there.
A dental implant is a type of screw placed in the jawbone. It replaces the root of a missing tooth and forms a solid foundation for a new tooth.
To get an implant, your jawbone is first checked with X-rays. If all is well, the implant is placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia. After a few months, the implant attaches to the bone and a piece is placed on top where the new tooth will attach.
Dental implants replace the tooth root and provide a permanent, stable solution to tooth loss without affecting surrounding teeth. Bridges and dentures rest on the gums or surrounding teeth, and can loosen or wear out over time. Implants are considered a more durable and natural-feeling option.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, nerve damage or implant failure (when the implant does not integrate properly with the bone). However, by choosing an experienced dentist or oral surgeon, the risks can be minimized. Regular follow-up care and oral hygiene are crucial to implant success.
Dental implants, if properly cared for, can last a lifetime. The implant itself is made of durable titanium, while the crown, bridge or denture may need to be replaced over time due to wear and tear. Good oral hygiene and regular checkups are essential to the longevity of the implant.
The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so no pain is felt during surgery. Some swelling, tenderness and mild discomfort may occur after the procedure, but this is temporary and can be treated with painkillers.
