Smiling, chewing and speaking becomes a tough job when you’re missing one or several teeth. It’s possible for bone loss to occur from missing teeth. Overtime, this will lead to complex oral problems. Injuries to the face, tooth removal because of cavities and other issues can contribute to missing teeth. But there’s hope for you at New Teeth Clinic Turkey. Our tooth restoration treatments are superb, of premium quality and affordable.
And we offer a range of treatment options for missing teeth. The choice will come down to how many missing teeth you have. Even if you are missing a single to multiple teeth on a dental arch, our permanent solutions can help.
See the procedures we often use to restore missing teeth:
Dental bridges
Dentists can use dental bridges to close up gaps that missing teeth present. Think of this dental appliance as a bridge that links surrounding natural teeth. And it consists of several components. Standing on either side of a bridge are the abutment teeth (anchor teeth). For the gap at the centre, pontics (artificial teeth) will be installed. These unreal teeth are designed using gold or porcelain or any other material the patient prefers. The dental bridge framework will be supported by two teeth which may be natural or artificial, hanging on implants.
More than one missing tooth can be restored with dental bridges. Dentures work for missing teeth, but bridges are more long-lasting. And they can give back that natural smile, chewing and speaking abilities. Most importantly, a dental bridge would make your bite more natural. This way, other healthy teeth won’t deteriorate faster. Sags in the jaws are a common effect of missing teeth, and they can be corrected with dental bridges. Any misalignment of the remaining teeth due to missing teeth can be resolved by dental bridges.
Although dental bridges are of different types, the primary ones include:
- Traditional dental bridges: Very popular bridges that provide a dental crown for the supporting teeth while one pontic replaces the missing tooth. Materials like ceramics, bonded porcelain or metals are used for this type of dental bridge.
- Cantilever bridges: This one is not very common. Cantilever bridges are best for when there are opposite teeth on just a side of the gap the missing teeth have created. The use of this bridge is only when required. Another special use of this bridge is for restoring missing front teeth. Since they don’t have strength enough for the chewing pressure the back teeth undergo, cantilever bridges go bad when used as a replacement for molars at the rear of the mouth.
- Maryland bonded bridges: Also known as resin bonded, this type works by attaching them to underlying teeth with the use of wings on a side of the bridge. Metal or artificial teeth make up the support anchor. The bridge structure supports the prosthetic teeth or gum. Porcelain is the special material used for making Maryland bonded bridges.
We can talk about the best dental bridge for your treatment and have it manufactured to fit and appear very natural. This would make the appliance go unnoticed inside your mouth. You can have a dental bridge in as little as 2 dental visits to our clinic. It would take time to get your permanent dental bridge ready; however, you’ll use a temporary bridge while waiting.
Dental implants
For missing teeth and gaps between teeth, dental implants are a non-temporary, widely applied treatment. The unaesthetic appeal of dentures can be eliminated with implants. Both your smile and teeth function can be fixed permanently with dental implants. For application, one implant fills up the space created by one missing tooth. Dental crowns are part of implant treatment as they are artificial teeth that work like and resemble the real teeth.
We can liken the appearance of an implant to a little screw. Titanium is used to make implants because the material is strong and long-lasting. Dental implants are done under surgery. After fitting the Implants, a month to three months should be allowed for recovery before installing the dental crowns.
Both the top and bottom jaws can take implants. Understand that the implant is not the teeth itself but support for the prosthetic teeth. The dental surgeon will affix the implant to the jawbone first. As healing begins, the natural jawbone will sprout around the implant – this creates a fusion between the implant and jawbone. Many months will pass for a complete fusion to take place. Healing must be complete before installing the false teeth.
During your healing period, our team will get your dental crowns ready. The shape and colour of the crowns will match that of the existing teeth. An abutment will join the crown to the implant. We also design the abutment. Crowns can be manufactured from different materials. Speak with your specialist about this.
About 28 missing teeth can be replaced with our dental implants. The procedure begins with assessing whether you’re healthy enough for surgery. In 2 dental visits, your implant treatment is completed at our clinic. And we advise you to give a minimum of 3 months to be healed.
Our dental implant procedures are performed by the finest surgeons with the best technology. The whole structure of the dental implant: crowns, abutment and implants are made from premium quality materials. We make available leading implant brands like Nobel Biocare and Straumann. These brands are very affordable in Turkey because of low operational costs and the weak Turkey Lira.
Be sure of lasting results after getting our dental implants.
All-on-4
Nobel Biocare offers a special treatment called the all-on-4 to restore teeth that are missing. Should a tooth be missing in all its entirety, or the roots be unhealthy, then an all-on-4 is the best solution. This option can restore the entire dental arch with very few surgeries.
Just four implants make up the all-on-4 treatment. These can be installed on either the top or bottom jaw to anchor more than one missing tooth. Again, the all-on-4 is more ideal for restoring several missing teeth in a row compared to dental implants or bridges. Less number of implants are fitted with the all-on-4, and they are effective at bringing back the beauty and function of the teeth.
Patients sit down during the installation of just 4 dental implants. The surgeon will position these implants on areas with maximum bone density to reduce bone loss. Right after the implants have healed, our specialist will bring in the crowns and abutment to complete the structure so that several false teeth can be affixed securely. The all-on-4 doesn’t take much time to heal. In fact, the false teeth can be fitted 24 hours post-implant surgery.
The perks of the all-on-4 procedure include:
- Implant fitting is quick
- Full dental arch restoration
- No grafting which guarantees no loss of jawbone as a result of missing teeth
Older patients gain a lot from the all-on-4 procedure, but because it is a special treatment, the price may be very high in most nations.
Our all-on-4 treatment is very affordable and of great quality. That same Nobel Biocare all-on-4 available in UK, Australia or US is here in Turkey. The difference is that ours is cheaper because of the low operational costs of practices. And you won’t be visiting our clinic too much, so you can enjoy the best care at a low-level dental service charge.
