What is Dental Implant Surgery?
Dental implants in Turkey are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. A biocompatible titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as a sturdy root to support custom-made crowns or bridges that look and feel like natural teeth.
Our clinic reports a success rate exceeding 98.7% for dental implants, utilizing Swiss and German implant systems coupled with dynamic 3D surgical planning.
Detailed Stages of the Dental Implant Process
The dental implant process consists of four main stages:
1. Diagnosis and 3D Imaging
We use state-of-the-art CBCT scans to assess bone density and plan the precise position of the implants.
2. Surgical Post Placement
Under local anesthesia, the titanium post is inserted into the jawbone. Dissolvable sutures are used for quick healing.
3. Osseointegration
The healing period takes 3 to 6 months, allowing the bone to fuse and bond with the implant surface.
4. Abutment and Crown Placement
Once fused, an abutment is attached, and a custom zirconia or E-max crown is permanently fixed to restore full aesthetics and function.
Essential Post-Operative Recovery Tips
- Oral Hygiene: Gently rinse with warm saline solution after 24 hours.
- Avoid Smoking: Quit smoking for at least 72 hours post-surgery to enhance tissue vascularization.
- Soft Diet: Stick to soft foods like soups, mashed potatoes, and smoothies in the first few days.
