Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Treatments
Dental Implants in Turkey
Yes, Smilepod Turkey provides implant passports. When you return for your implant crowns, we will issue your implant passport during your second visit.
The failure rate of implants depends on the patient's overall health and oral hygiene. With proper care and attention to hygiene, the risk of implant failure is extremely low, almost negligible.
Dental Implant treatment at Smilepod Turkey is suitable for individuals who do not have chronic health conditions, are not on specific medications, and have sufficient jawbone density and length to support the implants.
Certain chronic conditions and medications may complicate implant treatment. Conditions such as uncontrolled type 1/2 diabetes, cancer, and lupus may prevent implant treatment.
A minimum of six months is required to allow the implants to properly integrate with the jawbone.
Dental Implant treatment typically requires two visits to Turkey. During the first visit, the implants are placed, and after six months, you will return for the permanent crowns. You will need to stay for approximately 5 nights during the first visit and 7 nights for the second.
The healing period for Dental Implants generally spans 3 to 6 months. This duration allows for osseointegration, where the jawbone integrates with the implant post, ensuring stability. Temporary prosthetics are often used during this time until the permanent crowns or bridges can be placed. This process is essential for the successful and long-lasting function of the Dental Implants.
Dental Implants come with a lifetime guarantee, which means that if your Dental Implants fail for any reason, we will replace them with a new one free of charge for life.
Before proceeding with treatment, Smilepod Turkey will require your latest HbA1C test results. If your levels are suitable for surgery, we can move forward with the procedure.
Dental Crowns & Dental Veneers
The crown fitting process at Smilepod Turkey requires a minimum of six full days to complete.
For crown preparation, approximately 30% of the tooth structure is reduced, while only 7-8% is reduced for veneer preparation on the front surface of the teeth.
The dentist will determine this based on the condition and position of your teeth. Generally, Emax veneers are recommended for patients with straight and healthy teeth who seek aesthetic improvements.
Yes, at Smilepod Turkey, you are welcome to select both the shade and shape of your crowns/veneers.
Sensitivity is completely normal after your dental crown is placed. It will disappear within a few weeks after your treatment.
No special care is needed. Regular brushing with non-whitening toothpaste is sufficient, and for a more thorough clean, we recommend using a water flosser.
Dental Crowns and Veneers come with a 5-year warranty. If your crown breaks or cracks for any reason within this period, we will replace it free of charge. This warranty reflects our commitment to providing high-quality dental restorations and ensuring your long-term satisfaction.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, the lifespan of your dental crowns can typically range between 20 to 25 years. However, this duration may vary based on individual factors such as your oral care routine and overall dental health.
