Came to put 6 dental implants and 26 teeth crowns. Got great experience and high service and the most important beautiful smile. I have communicated with many different clinics in Istanbul and Antalya, examined reviews in different sources, compared prices before made my choice. Finally decided on Dentares Smile Clinic. From the very beginning and till final stage Russian speaking manager Svetlana was in contact with me online and offline in communication with clinic doctor. No problem with language understanding. All communication before was in Whatsapp, replies were prompt. I havent had 3D Xrey so treatment plan was made based on my photos. I was warned that possibly there will be corrections on place when I will arrive, I was prepared. Finally price was a bit higher than I was informed because there were more manipulations made. Treatment process was devided into 2 stages- in my first visit was examination, development of treatment plan and implant installation. Price quote included transfer for whole period of stay, 3 nights in the hotel with breakfast, all examination works, needed treatment and implants. Timing was always observed, I was informed about my schedule ahead and could always plan my time effectively. For first visit I came for 5 days and covered additionally price for 2 nights at hotel, but I do recommend to come for first visit for 5 working days as 3 days seems lack of time to do all the work. They give to choose 3 hotels, the one I have chosen was very good and comfortable. All recommendations, needed medicines were received. Next my visit happened after 3 months when I came to finish treatment and put crowns on implants. I came for 7 full days, hotel in the price quote was for 5 days, so I covered it additionally. As well here I do recommend to plan 7 days instead of 5 and if you have even possibility to plan some days more, do it as you will be able to check if all the crowns fit well and you are comfortable. I'm happy with the color chosen of crowns and all the process It is already 2 months over after the work was done, at this time everything is good and I enjoy my new smile. Thank you! Svetlana Sacuka

Last summer, in desperate need of a new smile, I decided to investigate dental tourism. Having heard a few horror stories about Turkey teeth I did a bit of research and came across the Dentares Smile website. It appeared to be well laid out informative and very professional with a clear pricing structure, so I decided to get in contact with the clinic. The first person I spoke with was Melody in sales. She had a relaxed easy charm about her and after several WhatsApp video calls I was sold. I was then sent over a draft treatment plan and after confirming my flights my first visit to Antalya was arranged for September. Upon my arrival in Antalya on 6 Sep I was picked up from the airport by Dentares’ driver and taken to the hotel included in the cost of my treatment. The standard of accommodation was excellent. The next day I was picked up in the morning and driven to clinic where I was warmly greeted by one of the lovely young receptionists. After a friendly chat with the head honcho Dt. Öyküm Dilek to firm up my treatment plan, I was introduced to the lovely Seçil the practice manager who took the payment for my first round of treatment then introduced me to Svetlana, Dentares’ patient relations 😎 representative who informed me that treatment would begin on Saturday afternoon. It was then back to my hotel to relax and enjoy their pool and the wonderful weather for a couple of days. On Saturday, I was driven to the clinic to have the Straumann implants put in. The most painful part of the procedure for me were the injections. The implantation process itself was uncomfortable rather than painful. Unfortunately, Dt. Özkan my implantologist determined that my bone structure wasn’t strong enough (most likely due to my age) for immediate loading of crowns onto the implants and I would have to wait another 3-6 months for my bone to ossify around the implants before this could take place. So, after sunning myself for a few more days it was back to the UK to eat lots of ice cream and gurn at my friends and family over the festive season. I arrived in Antalya for my second round of treatment on Sunday 3 March. On Monday morning it was time to meet Dt. Özkan again to surgically expose the implants. Again, the most painful part of the process were the injections. In the afternoon it time for my first appointment with Dt. Seçil Azizoğlu the aesthetic dentist. After another round of painful injections my remaining lower teeth were ground down to accept the veneers that were to be placed on them. This was where we ran into the only significant issue during my entire time with Dentares. After my lower teeth had been worked on the bleeding from my gums just wouldn’t clot, again probably due to my age, and my blood pressure being higher than normal after a couple of hours in the chair. After waiting an hour or so for the bleeding to stop it was decided that it would be for the best to continue my treatment on Wednesday. On Wednesday impressions were taken, and after discussing the choices for colour and shape of my new teeth with Svetlana and Dt. Seçil, they were sent off to the Dentares’ lab to make the zirconia implant crowns and veneers. On Thursday it was time for my first fitting. After my new teeth were worked on in situ by Dt. Seçil for a couple of hours (the lady is a perfectionist) they were taken out again and shipped back to the lab for minor adjustments and polishing. On Friday it was time for my second and final fitting. In they went and after another hour or so of checking, grinding, and further checking by the awesome Dt. Azizoğlu it was time to look in the mirror. Wow, just wow. Carey Grant, eat your heart out 😁 On Saturday, after one last visit to the clinic to sign paperwork and say my goodbyes I was driven to the airport by my friendly chauffeur Ziya to fly back to the UK for a new and better life. So, would I recommend Dentares Smile Clinic? 100% Thank you so very much, folks 🙏 Hope to see you all again one day 🖖🙂

После переезда я искал ортодонта, который бы продолжил начатое в России лечение. Очень рад, что нашел эту клинику. Врач очень вдумчивый и нашел оптимальное решение, что было непросто, пришлось креативить:) в итоге успешно закончил лечение. Друзьям рекомендую эту клинику и по другим вопросам с зубами, очень удобно, что можно всё обсудить на ресепшен со Светланой на русском. Все друзья тоже остались довольны. Поэтому рекомендую от души:)

Dental Bridges Treatment Turkey

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges in Turkey are an effective restoration to close a gap left by a missing tooth. Dental tourists can take advantage of Turkey’s cheap dental prices all year round. A dental bridge is a restoration that emulates a real tooth in a position where the natural tooth is missing by utilising the surrounding teeth as support.

Missing teeth can be unsightly, so dental bridges are one of three ways to restore a tooth. A dental bridge, dental balcony and an implant are restoration techniques. A balcony is a restoration that closes the gap much like a bridge; however, only one tooth is used to stabilise the restoration. So where possible, an implant is preferred. The implant post screws into the bone and simulates a tooth root. Making it easy to place the crown on top and the surrounding teeth aren’t affected.

The two teeth that sit opposite of the missing gap are shaved to a base shape. These teeth and the gap are measured by putting impressions taken by the use of dental putty. The putty hardens and a mould is cast, creating an exact replica of your teeth. A 3-part set of zirconia crowns are designed using CAD/CAM technology. Using the rehearsal method, the doctor can double check functionality and aesthetic design. Once the doctor is happy with these, the bridge is now complete and set in place using a strong dental adhesive.

A dental bridge in Turkey is performed when the space between teeth is small and doesn’t require the use of an implant to fix the unsightly missing tooth. When the gap is too large, such as a molar tooth or multiple teeth are missing; an implant may be recommended instead.

A dental implant requires a maxillofacial surgeon to surgically place an implant post to the bone structure of the jaw in the place that is missing a tooth. A dental bridge uses the surrounding teeth as support to restore a tooth. A dental bridge is non-invasive compared to the implant. A bridge can be made within 3-4 days, whereas an implant can require up to 3 months to heal and integrate properly before loading with a singular crown.

A dental bridge in Turkey can be made from PFM or otherwise known as a metal-based porcelain, and zirconia. Dental bridges are not able to be made with emax materials. PFM and zirconia are expected to last 10 years or more but zirconia will have a much better aesthetic.

Types of Dental Bridge

There are 4 types of dental bridges.

    1. The traditional dental bridge uses the support of two surrounding teeth as anchors for a replica tooth in the middle.

    2. Cantilever bridge uses just one of the surrounding teeth as an anchor to support a replica tooth in the missing gap.

    3. The maryland bonded bridge uses two achor teeth like the traditional bridge, however these teeth are not filled. Instead, a metal framework is adhered to the back of the anchoring teeth. The strength and lifetime of the bridge depends on the adhesive. The adhesive and metal may discolour the teeth over time.

    4. Implant supported bridge. In larger gaps of 3-4 missing teeth. 2 implant posts can be placed to support a larger bridge. This bridge does require surgery and a healing time of up to 3 months but is incredibly strong.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Dental Implants in Turkey

  • A dental bridge is an effective restoration method to replace a tooth.
  • The patient can confidently chew with comfort on the bridge vs before when foods would hurt and damage the gingiva (gum).
  • The patient now has an aesthetic solution to a missing tooth, which can boost confidence.
  • Without a dental bridge, the surrounding teeth would slowly spread, trying to close the gap autonomously.
  • Bridges are easily maintained
  • Surrounding teeth are filed and if the bridge is not placed properly, bacteria and plaque can build up and damage the anchoring teeth.
  • Sometimes the anchoring teeth of the bridge are not strong enough or face trauma that breaks the bridge, needing an immediate repair.

Regular brushing on top and either side of the bridge is sufficient, with regular flossing and mouthwash to displace any plaque or food particles. You can have the dentist examine the bridges once or twice a year along with regular oral hygiene cleans.

Depending on the type of dental bridge, it can take between 3-5 days. If it is an implant supported bridge, then the implants need to be placed and allowed 3 months to heal. Then another 5 days to design and fit the bridge.

Turkey has seen millions of health tourists over the past 10 years for the affordable dental care. Bridges can be considerably cheaper than in western countries.

Both anchor teeth on either side of the missing area must be filed down to a base shape which involves shaving 1mm of natural tooth, to design and fix a zirconia 3 part bridge.

The price varies on the recommended or requested dental bridge type. Implants, zirconia, PFM, metal frameworks can be involved so it’s best to choose what is recommended by the dentist.

It can take a week or up to a month to get used to the feeling of have a dental bridge installed.

Patients should use a soft bristled brush 3 times a day with regular flossing and mouthwash. Have your dentist check up on it each time you visit the clinic.

Patients can expect local anaesthesia to be used while the dentist prepares the anchoring teeth. It can take about 1-2 hours for the first appointment to finish. Impressions are taken using a dental putty and CAD/CAM technology uses your impressions to design a new dental bridge. Once designed, it is painlessly applied with dental adhesive which will last approximately 10 years.

Bridges are expected to last about 10 years before needing to be replaced. Implants have a lifetime guarantee and preserve the bone structure. If bone loss starts to occur, surrounding teeth can encroach by changing angles and becoming loose. That’s why in the long term, it’s best to have an implant. The crown that sits on the implant is much easier and less expensive to replace should it need replacing after 10 years.

A traditional, Cantilever, and Maryland dental bridge should only cover one missing tooth. Whereas the implant supported bridge can support up to two missing teeth.

A bridge can be replaced if it’s broken, too old, discoloured or fractured. The dentist cuts the dental bridge off and cleans the teeth where the adhesive was. A new dental bridge can be fitted, providing the anchoring teeth are in good condition.

A bone graft could be needed if the missing area has a divet. It would be best to attain a consistently straight bone structure for aesthetic reasons.

Comparing the cost with the dental bridge lifetime, use, comfortability and aesthetic, a dental bridge can be well worth it.

A doctor may suggest a dental bridge over an implant to save the patient time and money or that an implant is not suitable for the area because the bone structure is too thin, poor quality or that the space between teeth is too small to allow an implant to fit.

It depends on the size of the gap. If there is a small gap, a traditional bridge is sufficient. If the gap is a bit larger, the patient can benefit in the long term by having an implant support bridge.

Local anaesthesia is used in the dental bridge procedures so now pain is felt and patients can feel relaxed.
