Dental Implant Treatment
A healthy set of teeth is such an important factor in day-to-day life and the overall health of your body. Having a beautiful smile affects your social and professional relationships as well as your self-confidence. One of the common dental problems is missing teeth or jawbone resorption. At Heva Clinic, we provide professional dental implant solutions for these types of dental problems in Turkey.
What are dental implants?
Dental implant is an excellent choice if the whole structure of the tooth needs to be replaced. It offers secure and long-term artificial teeth for patients suffering from missing teeth. The procedure involves an artificial root implantation into the jawbone to create support and a base for the replacement tooth. However, over time this term came to refer to the entire implant process.
Dental implants consist of three parts: artificial root, implant abutment, and prosthetic tooth or denture.
The artificial root is a screw-type structure that is made up of either titanium or ceramic which is implanted into the jawbone. Although various materials are available for artificial roots, titanium is the most commonly used option because of its bio-compatibility. Therefore, they provide a secure and non-invasive root for the artificial tooth.
Implant abutment is the connective structure between the implant and the prosthetic tooth. This piece supports and holds the denture and can only be removed by your dentist.
The prosthetic tooth is the visible part of dental implants. These teeth can be made up of different materials depending on your special condition and preferences. However, zirconium and porcelain are the most common options for this part. These materials offer a natural look as well as a long lifetime.
At Heva Clinic, we provide single implant, multiple implants, or full mouth implants. If you have lost just one tooth, a single implant is a great way to regain your perfect look. If you have lost more than one tooth, but the surrounding teeth and gum are still in healthy condition, you can choose to get multiple implants. In some cases, when resorption of the jawbone is involved or most of the upper or lower set of teeth is missing, full mouth implants might be necessary.

This type of implants can be a good choice if you are currently wearing full dentures or have lost most of your teeth.

Dental implant procedure
1. The first step to take for a dental implant is to book a free consultation to discuss about an individualised treatment plan with your dentist based on your needs.
2. The dental implant process starts with placing the titanium implant into the bone socket. This surgery takes around 1-2 hours.
3. Next, you will be waiting for the jawbone to heal and grow around the implant. This process typically takes 12 weeks.
4. Once your jawbone heals, the implant abutment is placed to prepare the implant for your new teeth. The prosthetic tooth is prepared by using a model of your bite.
5. Once your new tooth is ready, it is then attached to the implant abutment. Our experienced dental teams in Turkey provide a comfortable dental implant procedure.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
A good candidate for dental implants is required to have a healthy jawbone to anchor the implant and healthy gums for the success of the treatment. It is also important that you are over the age where your jawbone development stops. Keep in mind that you are willing to keep up with good oral hygiene after your treatment.
How long do dental implants take in Turkey?
If you are planning a trip to Turkey for your dental implant treatment, the length of the procedure is of course the most important thing you are wondering about. Dental implant procedure can take up to 3 months; however, you do not need to spend the whole time in Turkey. You will be spending most of this time waiting for your jawbone to heal after placing the implant.
For the first stage of your treatment, you need to spend 2-3 days in Turkey for your dentist to place the titanium implant into the bone socket. You can go back to your normal life during the healing period which takes 9-12 weeks. After this healing period, you need to pay a second visit to Turkey to get the implant abutment placed on the titanium implant. This second procedure in Turkey might also take 2-3 days. After that, your dental implant treatment in Turkey is over.
Overall, you will need to spend about 6 days in Turkey to finalise your dental implant procedure.

Therefore, you will not experience any slipping, moving, or problems with your speech. They also provide ultimate comfort during eating since they function exactly like your natural teeth.
Natural look
The natural look and functioning of dental implants gives you a beautiful smile and improve your self-esteem.
Oral health

Do teeth implants hurt?
Dental implant procedure does have a negative reputation. However, the procedure itself is not painful because it is performed under local anesthetics. You won’t be feeling anything while your surgeon places the implant into the bone socket. However, the recovery period might be slightly painful. Because your jawbone needs to heal and grow around the implant it might hurt for the first few weeks. The pain is usually manageable by taking painkillers.
