Dental Implants in Turkey: What Is It?
Some mistakenly believe that dental implants are artificial teeth themselves. However, this is an artificial replacement of the tooth root in the form of a titanium screw, which is implanted in the jawbone and overgrows with it over time, thus guaranteeing the strength of the prosthesis installed in the future.
Due to this, dental implants are considered the most reliable and long-lasting replacement option for completely or partially missing teeth, compared to traditional removable dentures. Dental implantation is a surgical operation in which the dentist places an artificial jaw root to replace completely or partially missing teeth. At the end of the implant’s healing process and its fusion with the bone, an abutment (connector) and a permanent prosthesis in the form of dental crowns and bridges are installed.
What is the Working Principle of Dental Implants?
The main principles of implantation are osseointegration (fouling the implants with the bone to ensure strong attachment) and three main elements (implant, abutment, and crown).
- The titanium root (the implant itself) is installed directly into the jawbone and plays the role of a functional and physical replacement for the missing tooth root.
- Titanium is a biocompatible material, thanks to which it is well tolerated by the human body and is not rejected.
- The abutment connects the implants and crowns, providing stable and reliable support for the dental crown.
- A dental crown is an artificial tooth replacement made of porcelain, metal, ceramic, or zirconia in the shape of a tooth that replaces the visible part of missing teeth.
- Crowns are made individually for each patient.

How Is Dental Implants Installation Performed in Turkey?
Dental implants are carried out in three main stages: consultation, implantation with osseointegration, and installation of a permanent prosthesis.
Initial Consultation and Treatment Planning
The first stage is an extended examination of the oral cavity. Also, the dentist takes X-rays at this stage to evaluate the bones and other tissues in the implantation area. The specialist reviews the patient's dental and medical history to be aware of any further problems affecting treatment. The dentist also develops an individual treatment plan for the patient, which indicates the number of implants and their location in the oral cavity.
Implantation and Osseointegration Stage
This stage is the main one. The dentist places dental implants into the patient's jawbone to functionally and physically replace missing tooth roots. In this case, local or general anaesthesia is used, depending on the condition and needs of the patient. After the implants are placed, the osseointegration phase begins and lasts several months. It is also important because, during it, the implant heals, takes root, and acquires bone. The fusion of the implant with the bone provides a reliable and fixed base for installing a further permanent prosthesis. A temporary prosthesis is placed for the period of osseointegration.
Permanent Prosthesis Installation Stage
After completely healing the bone around the implants after a few months, the dentist needs to install a permanent prosthesis for the patient. Before this, the specialist installs abutments, the connecting parts between the implants and the prosthesis. In some cases, implants are bonded without the use of abutments. Then a permanent prosthesis is installed and assembled from dental bridges and crowns, made to order for each patient so as to correspond in all respects to the patient's natural teeth. The result is natural, even, and white teeth for years.
Reasons Why You Might Need a Dental Implant
Dental implants are indicated for a variety of reasons, including the following:
- loss of some or all teeth as a reslt ouf injury or disease;
- inability to wear or discomfort from removable dentures;
- the need to replace old or ineffective dental implants;
- desire to improve the aesthetics of teeth or increase self-confidence;
- the need to improve chewing function and the ability to speak correctly;
- preventing further bone loss in the jaw.
It is not a complete list, but these are the most common reasons people choose to have dental implants at MedicaSmile in Turkey.
