Dental prosthetics in Turkey

Dental prosthetics is one of the most popular procedures among medical tourism in Turkey. The country attracts thousands of patients from all over the world thanks to its highly qualified specialists, modern clinics, and competitive prices.

Dental prosthetics is a popular dental procedure that aims to restore the functionality and aesthetics of dentition through the use of dentures.

Dental prosthetics can be fixed, removable, or combined, depending on the nature of the fixation of prostheses in the oral cavity. The procedure improves the smile aesthetics, chewing, speech, and quality of life of patients.

Foreign patients choose Turkey for dental prosthetics for several reasons:

• modern dental clinics equipped with advanced equipment;
• Turkish orthodontists are internationally accredited and constantly improve their skills and knowledge to keep abreast of the latest technologies and methods of treatment of the dentoalveolar system;
• individual approach to each patient: doctors conduct a thorough examination and consultation to understand the patient’s needs and wishes;
• specialists develop an optimal treatment plan and strive to achieve the best results;
• higher prices for dental prosthetics compared to other countries: the average cost of a prosthesis in Turkey starts from $1600 while in Germany it can reach $5000;
• the opportunity to combine dental treatment with leisure and tourism in Turkey, which is known for its beautiful nature, historical sites, and hospitality;
• additional services for international patients such as transfer, hotel accommodation, translator, and online consultation.

Dental prosthetics procedure in Turkey is recommended in the following cases:

• significant damage to the crown part of the tooth, for example, with large volumes of carious destruction;
• absolute destruction of the crown part of the tooth, when only the root remains;
• pathological tooth wear not associated with caries;
• single or multiple defects of the dentition;
• complete adentia (lack of teeth).

Depending on the degree and nature of the defect, various methods of prosthetics can be chosen: inlays, crowns, veneers, bridges, and removable or implant-supported dentures.

In most cases, contraindications to dental prosthetics are temporary. Among them are the following:

• inflammatory processes in the oral cavity such as stomatitis and gingivitis;
• weakening of the bone in the jaw, known as osteoporosis;
• infectious purulent-necrotic lesion of the jaw (osteomyelitis);
• acute periodontitis with inflammation of the gums and severe tooth mobility;
• acute inflammatory processes in the body;
• period of pregnancy and lactation.

Elimination of these temporary contraindications allows for the procedure of dental prosthetics.

Dental prosthetics in Turkey are classified according to the nature of fixation. Thus, there are three main types:

1. Fixed prosthetics is a method of restoring teeth, in which artificial teeth or crowns are attached to implants or the patient’s own teeth and are not removed for cleaning or sleeping. Prostheses such as crowns, bridges, or implants are designed to permanently replace one or more teeth. They provide strong attachment and stability, restoring chewing function and smile aesthetics. Fixed dentures are a long-term solution. They have advantages in comfort and reliability compared to removable dentures.
2. Removable prosthetics is a procedure for the restoration of dental units, in which the prostheses can be removed by the patient for cleaning and maintenance. They are usually used to replace a significant defect in the dentition or complete dentition. They are attached to the remaining teeth or rest on the gum with the help of special fasteners.
3. Combined or conditionally removable prosthetics. The design combines elements of fixed and removable prostheses. For example, a combined prosthesis may include a fixed non-removable part, such as a bridge or implants, as well as a removable part that can be removed by the patient for care and cleaning. Combined prostheses are used to replace large defects in the dentition, as well as in cases where it is impossible or undesirable to use only removable or non-removable structures.

The final choice of the method of dental prosthetics in Turkey depends on the individual needs and characteristics of each patient. The dentist, based on the condition of the teeth and gums, aesthetic preferences, functional requirements, and financial capabilities of the patient, will recommend the most appropriate type of dental prosthetics.

Diagnosis before prosthetics in Germany is an important step that allows to determine the condition of the oral cavity, choose the optimal type of prosthetics, and plan treatment.

Diagnostics may include the following procedures:

1. Examination of the oral cavity. This is an initial consultation, during which the doctor assesses the general condition of the teeth and gums, identifies problem areas, and discusses with the patient his wishes and possibilities.
2. X-ray of teeth and jaws. This research method allows to get detailed information about the structure of bone tissue, inflammation, caries, periodontitis, and other diseases.
3. Imprint of teeth. This is a method of obtaining a three-dimensional model of the patient’s dentition using special materials (silicone, alginate, etc.). Imprints are necessary for the manufacture of prostheses according to the individual size and shape of the teeth.

The procedure for prosthetics in Turkey includes the following steps:

1. Preparation of the oral cavity, including removal of damaged teeth and treatment of caries.
2. Dental impression.
3. Making prostheses.
4. Implantation of titanium roots into the jaw bone tissue using surgical intervention. This step may not be necessary if the prosthesis is made on your own teeth or roots.
5. Osseointegration is the stage at which the fusion of implants with the bone occurs.
6. Installation of abutments and prostheses is the stage at which the doctor fixes special transitional elements (abutments) on implants or teeth, which serve to fasten prostheses.

Dental prosthetics in Turkish clinics has a number of advantages, including:

• modern approaches in the field of orthopedic dentistry (computer modeling, digital impressions, 3D printing technology);
• a wide range of diagnostic tests;
• use of certified materials;
• the use of complex computer programs for modeling prostheses;
• personalized approach to each patient;
• The choice of a suitable prosthesis method depends on the desired aesthetic effect, as well as on the financial capabilities of the patient.

The price of dental prosthetics in Turkey differs depending on many factors. These factors include the type of prosthesis, the complexity of the case, the number of teeth requiring prosthetics, and the chosen dental center.

Usually, the cost of prosthetics in Turkish clinics is more affordable compared to many other countries. Thus, the minimum cost of a prosthesis in Medipol Hospital ranges from $1600 to $2000 on average.
