Surgical Tooth Extraction in Turkey
Tooth extraction is a complex dental procedure that can be made easier by seeing a dentist in good time. Fear of Turkey teeth surgery often leads to more serious health consequences than toothache. If the extraction is done on time and the doctors’ recommendations are followed, the dental operation will be smooth and healing is guaranteed.
Indications and Contraindications for tooth extraction
The main reasons are:
Contraindications for the dental operation are:
- loss of the main part of the tooth tissue without the possibility of restoration;
- misalignment of a tooth with no access to care or treatment;
- crowding or other dental anomalies that contribute to the development of malocclusion;
- an irregular process of eruption of the wisdom tooth.
- an infection affecting the root of the tooth;
- post-infarction condition;
- infectious or viral disease;
- hypertension;
- pregnancy (first and last months).
Preparation for extraction in Turkey
Since an extraction involves surgery, it is necessary to seriously prepare for the dental procedure. This will allow you to tolerate all dental manipulations without problems and reduce the likelihood of complications.
An X-ray should be taken during the preparatory stage to determine the size and shape of the roots and to detect the presence of inflammation. If inflammation is detected, preliminary treatment is prescribed and only after it subsided, extraction carried out.
It is recommended to perform premedication with sedative medications 1 or 2 hours before the surgery to increase the effect of local anaesthesia.
Stages of teeth operation in Turkey
The dental procedure at Dentatur clinic takes 5 to 20 minutes and consists of a number of required steps:
- anaesthesia of the extraction area with effective anaesthetics, allowing for pain-free extraction;
- separation of the gum from the tooth surface, which prevents additional trauma to the mucosa;
- loosening and extraction of the damaged tooth with special instruments. If the tooth has crooked roots, then the tooth is sawn into pieces beforehand and the pieces are extracted piecemeal;
- the pit is cleaned of debris and treated with an antiseptic agent;
- covering the extraction site with a haemostatic sponge or tampon.
Why are Dental Implants Highly Recommended After a Tooth Extraction?
An empty space is created in the place of the extracted tooth, and the neighbouring tooth immediately begins to struggle. Thus, after a short time, the tooth on the left of the extracted tooth moves to the right, and the tooth on the right moves to the left. Gaps are created between them, which again have a negative impact on the aesthetics of the smile. But that is not the worst thing. Intestinal diseases are often directly linked to dental problems. When a person’s tooth is in good condition, the pressure on them during meals is distributed evenly, as nature intended. When a single tooth is missing, the load is distributed over fewer teeth, meaning that each tooth is under a heavier load. But what if more than one tooth is missing? The increased stress will have a negative effect on the health of the still strong tooth. They will gradually wear down. Eventually they will need expensive dental treatment and sometimes extraction.
With an extracted tooth of the upper jaw the situation is even worse. Immediately after the dental operation the bone in the place of the missing tooth starts to atrophy. This means that when you decide to place implants, you will most likely need a bone augmentation surgery (sinus inlay) to ensure that the titanium post is anchored into the bone.
Dental bridges may be offered to patients instead of dental implants. On the one hand, it is cheaper than implants, but on the other hand, it implies treatment of the neighbouring healthy teeth that may deteriorate over time even with a very good dental practice and may not be adequately supported, etc.
How long after a teeth operation in Turkey can dental implants be placed?
The clinic Dentatur in Turkey will choose the best treatment and dental implants type for each individual case. Should a tooth extraction and placement of implants be done immediately or should you wait until the wound heals after dental surgery is complete? Dentists advise not to wait too long, because only 2-3 months after the extraction procedure and placement of implants, the bone tissue begins to decrease in size. If the bone volume is insufficient, additional dental surgery to augment the bone may be required.
Can I have implants immediately after a tooth extraction?
Many patients want to see a nice smile sooner rather than wait. Tooth extraction and immediate placement of implants is a one-stage technique in dentistry in Turkey. This is not very popular and has a number of inconsistencies, so it is not suitable for everyone. The idea is that as soon as the natural root is extracted, its place is taken by an artificial root. The implants can be placed after a tooth extraction after about 2-3 months. This is enough time for the extraction site to heal and for the bone not to atrophy.
Dental Implants Installation
Dental implants are the most advanced type of teeth surgery in Turkey and they are becoming increasingly popular for patients. The method allows you to restore all the quality, function and appearance of the lost tooth without having to treat the neighbouring tooth. When choosing this type of dental implants, it is helpful to learn about the features of the method and the possibilities offered by new technology. How long does implantation take at Dentatur clinic in Turkey, is it suitable for all patients, and what are the conditions are required? Let’s take a look at the main aspects of dental treatment in Turkey, knowledge of which will help you to prepare for it correctly.
What types of dental implants are available in Turkey?
Thanks to advances in technology, now, there are various techniques for prosthetics with dental implants:
- Two-stage. The classic method in which procedure has two stages. The first stage is the insertion of a titanium rod into the dental bone, followed by a period of healing. The second stage is the placement of the gingiva former, followed by the abutment and crown. The healing period lasts from three to six months, during which time a temporary denture is fabricated.
- Single-stage. The method allows you to have a dental restoration in a short period of time. Immediately after the placement of dental implants, the abutment or gum former is attached to the implants. Within two to three months, the temporary crown is replaced with a permanent one. This type of implantation can be performed immediately after the extraction of a tooth. In this case, it is called one-stage implantation.
A dentist at Dentatur clinic in Turkey can determine the right type of dental implants for particular patients based on a thorough diagnosis. The examination may include X-rays, CT scans or panoramic scans. Certain tests may also be ordered. On the basis of the data collected, the appropriate dental treatment method will be chosen.
What preparation is required before the placement of dental implants?
The examination reveals the condition of the patient’s oral cavity and bone tissue. A healthy oral cavity is important for the quality and success of the implants. If dental and gum diseases are detected, these are treated and the infection is eliminated. In the case of chronic diseases, consultation with a specialist is required.
Particular attention is paid to the jawbone, as it is the bone that will interact with the dental implants. An adequate amount and quantity of bone must be available to ensure a reliable fit. In case of insufficient bone volume, a preliminary augmentation, osteoplasty or sinus inlay surgery can be carried out.
The surgical dental template can be prefabricated. New technology at Dentatur clinic in Turkey enables the precise and professional placement of dental implants in the jaw, which is especially important in the case of multiple missing teeth. A computer simulation is used to create a template that is used to determine the exact position of the artificial root. The navigation template makes it possible to simulate the appearance of the smile in advance and to place the implants in areas with minimal bone volume.
How are dental implants placed in Turkey?
The dental implant procedure itself does not take long time for patients. The surgical stage takes place under anaesthesia, which means it is painless. The surgeon makes an incision in the gum, then drills a hole in the bone and places the implant into the prepared hole. A cover is placed over the protruding part of the implant and the gum is stitched if necessary.
The entire procedure lasts no longer than a regular dental treatment in Turkey and is performed under local anaesthesia. In cases where a large number of manipulations or multiple implants need to be placed, medically sleep (sedation) may be used. One-stage and single-stage dental implantation last slightly longer than the traditional two-stage procedure, because the implant placement is accompanied by the extraction of a tooth or placement of a crown or gum former.
After dental treatment in Turkey, patients are given a doctor’s recommendation and a date for their next appointment and they go home. After a few hours, minor discomfort may occur, for the management of which the doctor prescribes medication. Depending on the situation, patients may be prescribed antibacterial medication. During the first period, patients should not chew on the side where the implants have been placed and they should brush with care.
During dental implantation in Turkey, patients should follow all instructions given by the doctor and keep appointments for check-ups. The healing period may vary from three to six months. Once the dental implants are firmly fixed into the bone, the prosthetic work is done. Abutments are placed on the dental implants and a permanent crown is placed on them.
Modern technology in teeth surgery in Turkey
The development of modern technology and the emergence of new types of special equipment allow for sparing dental surgeries, which guarantee a short recovery period and no subsequent inflammation.
Surgical interventions with laser equipment make it possible for doctors to conduct bloodless surgeries in the patient’s oral cavity. During these dental operations in Turkey, the wound is left open for the shortest possible time, excluding the possibility of infection. Dental operations with lasers do not require stitching of the oral tissues, and patients have no need for anaesthetics. The bactericidal effect of laser on exposed tissue makes the postoperative period short and painless for the patient.
The use of ultrasound equipment in dental surgery allows for operations related to bone reconstruction and implantation. Ultrasonic waves make it possible to perform gentle tooth-preserving manipulations aimed at removing reticular cysts and treatment of dental pockets.
All dental operations in Turkey with the use of ultrasound have a high level of antiseptic and aseptic treatment of the exposed tissue.
Modern technologies in dentistry in Turkey have not stood still, so all operations have become gentler and more painless for patients. The important thing is to seek help from a good dentist in time. Untimely dental treatment and elimination of dental problems leads to even greater problems, the solution of which will take even more money, time and nerves. Dentists in Turkey recommend oral cavity from an early age. If problems arise, immediately eliminate them by contacting specialists.
