Dental Implant Antalya : Affordable Cost, Full Mouth Dental Implants, Dental Package in Turkey

People may lose their teeth over time due to gum diseases, infections, advanced tooth decay, trauma such as injuries, impacts, and collisions.

Tooth loss can lead to speech and aesthetic disorders, inability to chew food effectively, digestive system diseases and other chronic diseases.

Bridge and prosthesis treatments, which have been known for many years in dentistry, have been applied in order to eliminate functional and aesthetic disorders depending on the condition of these tooth losses. However, in these treatment methods, irreversible, permanent and damaging procedures are performed on other teeth.

Dental implant in Antalya within scope thanks to technological and scientific developments in the field of dentistry, you can now have a more aesthetic, permanent and reliable treatment.

As Antalya Turkey dental clinic, in this article we will give you comprehensive and detailed information that will enlighten you about dental implants and eliminate the question marks in your mind.

What is an implant?

The dental implant is a biomaterial made of titanium or titanium alloys that can mimic the tooth root and has no allergic or toxic effects.

Dental implant treatment in Antalya is a frequently preferred treatment method that gives very successful results thanks to its high biocompatibility with gum and bone tissue.

These titanium screws fuse with the jawbone over time, and artificial prosthetic teeth are placed on these screws, which are extremely similar to natural teeth in terms of aesthetics, durability and functionality. Since these screws are embedded in the jawbone, they cannot be seen in the mouth.

Dental implants are solid infrastructures of artificial prostheses. Missing teeth in the mouth are filled with artificial prostheses that are placed on these artificial roots and can be used for a lifetime. This treatment process can be applied to single tooth missing, multiple tooth missing and even complete tooth missing.

The patient's healthy gums and good jawbone density increase the chance of success of the treatment, and if the necessary follow-up and controls are performed, the success rate is between 95-100%.

Placing dental implants in the jawbone is a procedure performed in a single session under local anesthesia, general anesthesia or sedation.

The areas where the implant will be placed, the number of implants, and the size of the implant are determined by x-rays and the surgical intervention begins. After the surgical intervention, after the wounds heal and the fusion of the implant and jawbone tissue is completed, artificial prosthetic teeth are inserted and the process is completed in 3-4 months.

Our dental clinic in Antalya, Turkey specializing in dental implants, offers a modern and effective treatment method to eliminate tooth deficiencies and restore the aesthetic appearance.

What should be done before dental implant treatment?

Do before dental implant treatment:

• Have an in-depth conversation with your dentist.
• Pay attention to oral hygiene, brush and floss regularly.
• Eat a balanced diet, consume nutritious foods that will support your health.
• Get plenty of rest, make sure you rest well before surgery.
• Follow your dentist's preoperative instructions and recommendations.

Do not do before dental implant treatment

• Neglecting daily oral care.
• Consuming foods that are high in sugar or very hard.
• Doing heavy physical activities.
• Ignoring the dentist's suggestions and instructions
• Sharing medical history with the dentist

How is implant dental treatment performed?

Implant dental treatment, which is an effective and permanent method of eliminating tooth deficiencies in the mouth, consists of the following stages respectively:

a) Examination and Planning Phase:

• The patient's general health condition and dental structure are evaluated. The patient's medications and chronic diseases are reviewed.
• If the health condition is appropriate, radiological imaging such as panoramic x-ray and CT scans are performed.
• Using imaging results, the jawbone's width, thickness, tissue loss and proximity to critical structures are evaluated.
• If bone deficiency is detected, bone grafting is applied to prepare the jawbone for implants.
• The number, length and diameter of the implants needed are determined according to radiological images.
• Treatment stages, including implant type and brand, are planned with a comprehensive surgical and prosthetic examination.
• After meeting with the patient, the treatment plan is finalized.

b) Surgical Operation and Recovery Phase:

• After careful planning, implants are placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia, with general anesthesia or sedation if needed.
• In the one-stage method, a visible healing cap is placed on the implant to shape the gum, while in the two-stage method, the implant is covered with gum and not visible during healing.
• After the bone and implant fuse, the implant is uncovered and a gum healing cap is attached.
• Patients can usually return to normal activities the same day.
• Stitches are removed after one week and the site is checked.
• It typically takes 3-4 months for the implant to integrate with the jawbone, depending on bone quality.
• Temporary dentures may be used during healing to maintain nutrition.
• Implant placement usually takes about 30 minutes, and several follow-up appointments are required to monitor progress.

c) Selection and Fitting of Dental Prosthesis on Implant:

• Implants have two parts: a material placed in the jawbone and a dental abutment that connects the prosthesis to the implant screw.
• After the implant fuses with the jawbone, the dental prosthesis is attached.
• An appointment is made to take impressions and decide between fixed or removable dentures.
• Removable dentures have teeth and gum-like pink plastic, attached with a metal frame, while fixed dentures are permanently attached to the implant abutment.
• Specialized prostheses, such as zirconium, are used for better aesthetics, especially for front teeth.
• After measurements and production, the prostheses are attached to the implants, resulting in strong, aesthetic teeth.

What happens after dental implant treatment, What should be considered?

After implant dental treatment, the following issues may occur and some situations should be considered. These are;

• 1-2 hours after the operation, when the effect of local anesthesia wears off, you may feel slight aches and pains. In this case, you can use the painkillers prescribed by your doctor. This will help you to get through this process with minimal discomfort. This pain will disappear completely in about a week.
• After the operation, the tampon placed at the implant site should not be removed from the mouth for 1 hour.
• Cold compresses should be applied to prevent swelling on your face and gums after the operation. This will prevent the formation of large swellings.
• For the first day or two, soft and warm foods should be consumed. Avoid extremely hot and cold foods.
• In the first days, it is normal to have bleeding in the mouth. This happens in the form of leakage. If there is excessive bleeding, you should go to the dentist.
• For the first 1-2 weeks after the operation, acidic and carbonated drinks, alcohol, and smoking should be avoided.
• After the operation, a soft toothbrush can be used to gently brush around the treated areas and mouthwash can be applied.

In which cases can dental implant treatment be applied and to whom cannot it be applied?

Dental implant treatment is an procedure to solve the problem of tooth deficiency. However, it is one of the curious questions to which patients and under which conditions dental implant treatment can be applied. These can be expressed as follows respectively:

• To eliminate the problems of patients who have no teeth in their mouths and who have problems with the use of removable complete dentures (palatal prosthesis) due to intense jaw bone tissue loss, a prosthesis fixation process can be applied to the implant to increase adhesion. With this implant procedure, the patient's use of the prosthesis becomes more comfortable and comfortable. The biggest benefit and superiority of this process called overdenture is that it can be applied even to patients who have lost all their teeth,
• People with at least one or more missing teet,
• People who have completed their body development and whose jawbone development has reached a certain point,
• It can be applied to people with a healthy gum structure and oral tissue. Because one of the most important prerequisites for implant treatment is to have a healthy gum structure,
• Implants are applied to people with sufficient bone tissue. Even if they do not have enough bone tissue, they can be applied to people who do not have an obstacle to having bone graft treatment. Because one of the most important conditions of the implant is that the patient has jawbone tissue of sufficient volume and size,
• People who want to improve their speech and chewing ability,
• People who want to regain their old aesthetic appearance by correcting the aesthetic appearance that has deteriorated due to a lack of teeth in their mouth,
• To increase the strength of the body made by implant tooth procedure in people who have problems in making a long bridge body due to long tooth deficiencies in the mouth,
• In cases of single-tooth deficiency, people who do not want to damage their natural teeth adjacent to this missing tooth,
• It can be applied to people who have a broken and unrecoverable tooth in their mouth, who have a tooth that must be extracted, and who want to replace it with a new tooth. However, in this case, it is necessary to wait for a certain period for the cavity formed in the jawbone as a result of tooth extraction to fill and the gum to heal,
• People who do not use drugs with a negative effect on the healing of bone tissue or who do not have a disease,
• For people who want to have new teeth in about 3-4 months.

In addition, we can list the situations and people to whom implant dental treatment cannot be applied as follows:

• People whose values such as sugar and blood pressure cannot be controlled with medication,
• For patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy,
• People who cannot fully take care of their mouth and teeth after implant treatment,
• Persons under the age of 18,
• People whose jaw bone structure is not anatomically suitable for implantation.

Persons with chronic diseases, with the control and permission of the doctor working in the relevant department

What are the advantages of implant teeth?

Implant dental treatment has numerous benefits and advantages over other dental treatment applications. These can be listed as follows;

• With implant application, the quality of life of the person is improved by restoring the functional properties of the mouth and teeth and eliminating the unaesthetic appearance caused by tooth deficiency.
• Implant dental applications can be used for many years without problems and are lifelong.
• Implant dental applications can be used for many years without problems and are lifelong.
• With implant tooth application, jawbone loss in where missing teeth are located is prevented.
• With the implant application, the comfort of eating and speaking is experienced without worries such as the prostheses falling off and coming out.
• There is no need for special care for the teeth attached to implant tooth application. Their cleaning is extremely easy and it is sufficient to perform daily oral and dental care for natural teeth.
• With the implant tooth application, you will have teeth with the most similar structure to your natural teeth in a few sessions and a short period of 3-4 months.
• For the treatment of missing teeth, there is no irreversible damage to your other natural teeth as in bridge applications.
• With implant tooth application, you can continue your daily social life and routine activities such as laughing and speaking without restriction.
• It eliminates bad breath.
• Thanks to the high biocompatibility of implants, you will have a healthy mouth structure without any discomfort and problems in the gum and jawbone tissue.

What are the types of implanted teeth?

Implant types can be grouped into different categories (method, a material used, etc.). In determining which type of implant will be applied to the patient, the decision is made by evaluating the data obtained from the oral and dental examination to be performed by the dentist. In this respect, for the implant treatment to be permanent and successful, detailed clinical and radiological examinations must be performed by an experienced and specialized dentist. In this context, the most preferred implant types by dentists are as follows:

a) Transsoseous Implants: As it is known, for implant treatment to be applied, the structure of the jawbone tissue must be good and of the required volumetric size. However, implant treatment can also be performed in cases where this is not the case. For this purpose, an implant is placed in the patient's jawbone under general anesthesia, not only in the area with tooth deficiency but also along the entire jawbone. Transosseous implant, which is a very difficult method, is a type of implant that is not preferred due to its slow healing rate.

b) Endostal (endosseous) Implants: It is the most commonly used implant type in today's dentistry practices and is preferred in cases where one or two teeth are missing. These implants, which are used in the inner part of the jawbone, are grouped as screw, blade, and cylindrical implants in terms of their existing shapes.

c) Endodontic Implants: It is an application used to repair weak teeth, which is not an implant as we know it, but is among the types of implants. The aim is to create a strong jaw structure. In this implant type, there is no missing tooth situation. The aim here is to increase the durability of the natural tooth and to ensure that it can be used for longer periods thanks to the implants placed inside the existing natural teeth. For this reason, the procedure is also called endodontic stabilizer by dentists. This is a very popular type of implant treatment.

d) Subperiosteal Implants: The main goal of this type of implant is to distribute the pressure and force generated during chewing to the entire jawbone. In this context, measurements taken from the jawbone are used when preparing the implants. Therefore, they are very durable. This application is not preferred much due to the difficulty of the operation. Because the implant is placed after the jawbone is completely exposed. This situation means a longer recovery time and causes more distress to the patient.

e) Intramucosal Implants: It is one of the oldest implant applications and is a type of implant that is rarely preferred today. The implant used here is made entirely of titanium. It is not preferred because it is quite costly and its structure is not flexible. It is used for improvements to prevent the prosthesis from moving vertically.
