We guarantee satisfaction not only from the standard of care to our patients, but also at prices that are approximately 80% cheaper than in the USA, UK and other European countries. And that is across the board whether the patient needs a single implant, or a complete implant restoration of the upper and lower jaws.
Why Turkey for my dental implants?
Firstly, the cost of having dental implants here is significantly much lower than the USA and other European countries. By following the European Community Health Standards, we offer high-quality dental treatment with the same medical standards for 80% less cost. Most of our international patients seek specialised healthcare, which may be unavailable or inadequate in their homeland, and also to avoid long waiting times and high prices.
Ocean Health Group uses the best quality dental Implants brands such as Straumann, Dentsply Sirona or Nobel Biocare in Switzerland, Germany and the USA, all of which come with a lifetime guarantee. We also offer our patients Computer Guided Implants, which require less surgery, less discomfort, and no swelling, and which do not require sutures.
With dental laboratory and clinic under one roof, we are able to give high quality implant treatment in a fraction of the time offered by other clinics and other countries.
What are the Dental Implants
Dental implants are a surgical solution to missing teeth that entails installing a titanium anchor point into the jawbone from which an artificial crown can be permanently secured.
Using premium biocompatible materials, the titanium implant will actually fuse to the bone as it heals, creating a new and enduring artificial root. A custom-built crown will then be screwed into the implant, permanently replacing the missing tooth.
Unlike crowns and dentures, an implant allows for better speaking and chewing functions, while at the same time, keeps the contours of the face looking natural. This treatment can be used at any age after bone development has been completed (16-17 Years of age in girls, and 18 for boys). There is no upper age limit for adults. An implant can be utilised by anyone with good general health. The elderly tend to lose more teeth and generally have some bone loss in the jaw, as a result, this age group is more likely to require implants.
Implant threads come in specific thicknesses and widths. The quality of the bone in the jaw is important, and the jawbone must have a height and width that fit the implant on the site of insertion. Without these considerations, an implant may not be successful.
A Dental Implant comes as three units;
- Implant: a threaded titanium implant inserted into the tooth socket
- Abutment: a post is attached after the healing of the site
- Crown: attachment of the new permanent tooth.
By using the most advanced technology (Tomography 3-D CD together with specific software), we can measure the patient’s bone to assess what implant actions are required. We offer the latest computer guided implant technology to our patients, the advantages of this procedure are less time spent in the dental chair, less discomfort and no stitches or swelling. The A-grade dental implants we use come from international brands, manufactured in Switzerland, Germany and the USA.
How many teeth can be replaced with dental implants?
There is no limit to how many teeth can be replaced in a healthy mouth. Not every tooth requires an implant, if one or several teeth need replacing, a bridge between implants is recommended.
There are many options available; with dental implants we can replace a whole arch, a row of teeth and even a complete set of teeth. If a patient has lost all of their upper teeth, they would need 8–10 implants inserted into the upper jaw.
What do you need to know about dental implants?
For the patient considering dental implants, there are four things they need to know:
- Dental implants have a high rate of success. In general, they have an estimated 98% success rate, but this varies depending on the capabilities of the dentist, the health of the patient, and in what part of the jawbone the implant will be placed.
- Dental implants, with crowns attached, appear identical to the patient’s natural teeth, as they are customized to match the natural teeth, looking and feeling like the real thing.
- Eating is easy as dental implants are anchored into the jaw. There is no difficulty or discomfort when eating, and no slipping, sliding or falling as with standard dentures.
- Implants serve as a replacement tooth root. When the root of a tooth is missing, the jawbone will gradually start to lose bone mass and density – this happens with standard bridges and dentures. However, with dental implants, the titanium screw acts as a faux tooth root. The jawbone is coerced into thinking that the tooth root is still there, and begins to grow new tissue around it, keeping the jawbone from deteriorating.
Dental Implants do not need the aid of healthy teeth to affix a dental prosthesis – the bridges, crowns or dentures can be secured to the titanium implant itself without interfering with the other healthy teeth.
