Types of dental implants in Turkey

Endosteal (in the bone)
Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implant in Turkey.
They usually resemble small screws. Endosteal implants are made from body-safe materials, such as titanium.
Endosteal implants are surgically inserted deep into the jawbone where they take the place of tooth roots. One implant can be used to anchor one or several teeth.
Subperiosteal (on the bone)
This type of dental implant in Turkey is used when there’s not enough healthy jawbone available to support an endosteal implant.
Subperiosteal implants are inserted under the gum but aren’t drilled into the jawbone. They are placed above or on the bone, rather than in it.

If you have an endosteal implant:

An oral surgeon will cut the gum, exposing the jawbone underneath.
Holes will be drilled deep into the bone, where the implant post will be inserted.
If you choose, a temporary, removable denture can be placed over the hole, for aesthetic purposes, until the permanent tooth can be attached to the implant.
If you have a subperiosteal implant, your jawbone won’t be drilled, and the implant post will be placed on or above the bone.

No matter which type of implant you receive, you can expect to feel some discomfort and swelling afterwards. This may last for several days. Most people find that they can resume their daily activities the day after a dental implant has been placed.

The first step will be getting your teeth, gums, and jawbone evaluated. An important part of this initial assessment is determining whether you have enough healthy jawbone to maintain the implant.
If your jawbone is too thin or soft, a bone graft or other procedure may be suggested before beginning the dental implant process. Your gums must also be free of periodontal disease.
Dental implants are done to replace one or more teeth. The number of teeth you wish to replace will determine the type and scope of the procedure you can expect.
Dental implant surgery is usually an outpatient procedure. It may be done under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. Your specialist will let you know ahead of time which type of anesthesia you’ll need.
