What exactly are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are essentially frames or posts which are inserted in your jaw. After they are placed, they function as the base that your dentist can put your new teeth into. This is an essential treatment for those who’ve lost their teeth due to failing to brush their teeth or by accident or a falling. Dentures are crucial in that they guarantee that the new teeth stay exactly where they are, stay solid and do not move in any way.
What kind of implants do we have?
There are two kinds of implants that are extensively used both within dental practices in the UK and throughout Europe including Turkey. The first kind of implant is known as endosteal implants that are placed in your jaw by surgical procedures in two phases The first implant is dentures. The second phase of the surgery connects the implant with the post which was implanted during the initial part of the procedure.
The second kind of implant is known as Subperiosteal implants. They comprise a frame made of metal that is situated over your gums. In time, as the gums get healed, your frame will become embedded, and then forms a solid base that your dentures can be placed to.
How do my dentures last?
In general, you can count on your dentures last from one to two years. Of course, it is contingent on where the dentures are located in your gums and the kind of fitting you’ve had completed. However, most dentists advise you to look into having your dentures changed every five years or at least every 5 years or. Of course, by now you’ll probably have attended a few sessions with your dentist and they’ll be able to guide you to the right time to replace your dentures.
What is the cost?
While there is a lot of benefit dental implants could bring for your dental health and your confidence One of the major disadvantages of them is their price. Here in the UK an implant can cost as much as $3500 (BUPA UK). The amount of implants you need will be determined by your dentist as well as other expenses like check-up charges and travel will all come to be quite expensive.
If you’re willing to travel a mere four hour direct flight from the ever-sunny Antalya, Turkey you’ll be paying considerably less.

The main reason that a lot of Brits are rushing to Turkey is because they’re tired waiting for so long to get an appointment(s). While in Turkey the entire procedure of receiving dental implants and temporary teeth, as well as the healing time, and then the second visit to repair the crowns may take just three months.
