Dental implant abroad is a treatment that many foreigners seek in Turkey due to many reasons the most important of which is the cost.
Dental Implant Treatment
A dental implant is one of the dental treatments that aim mainly at restoring the full function of teeth by replacing the missing teeth. Dental implants come in different types and each can be chosen according to the needs of each patient.
Types of Dental Implants in Istanbul
All on four dental Implants
In this type of treatment, the dentist will install four implants to carry the dental prosthetic “artificial teeth” instead of installing individual implants.
This type of implant is suitable for patients who do not have a high bone density in their jaws.
Instead of using eight or more implants, the dentist will install four implants in each jaw to replace an entire set of teeth.
This implant is fixed, not removable, and lasts for at least 10 to 15 years with proper care.
The cost is significantly less than having individual implants to replace all teeth, and it is much more comfortable than removable dentures.
Endosteal Implants
This is one of the most common dental implants, for your doctor to install this type of implant you have to have a good jawbone density. This type of implant is used to replace individual teeth by inserting screw-like titanium cylinders into the jawbone to infuse with it and form the root of the artificial teeth.
The bone is left for at least 6 months to heal and to give the chance to the implant to infuse correctly and fully with the bone is needed. During the healing period, your dentist will install temporary artificial teeth to maintain a natural smile. Subperiosteal Implants
This type of implant does not require inserting any objects inside the jawbone, unlike endosteal implants. Subperiosteal dental implants come in a form of a metal plate that rests on the bone underneath the gum.
This procedure is suitable for patients who do not have enough or a healthy jawbone or do not want to go through the same process of endosteal implants. This procedure is done in one session and does not affect the bone.
