You want to have dental treatment in Türkiye. Here are the things you need to pay attention to.
First of all, I would like to point out the following. Dental treatment costs are much lower compared to European countries. Overall, the quality is also quite good. However, as with everything else, you have to be selective in this regard. You can get very low prices or high prices for the same transaction. Low prices should always be met with a question mark in terms of quality. Excessively high prices are also often related to the luxury of the hospital/clinic/hotel trio. But we are not looking for a luxury hotel/clinic, we are looking for quality treatment, right?
It would not be a correct approach to prepare a definitive treatment plan for implants without panoramic x-rays and/or tomography. In particular, the physician needs to see and analyze the structure of the jawbone. Any treatment plan given without this imaging will be prepared "under normal conditions," and the first examination is open to surprises. The findings of the first examination can radically affect the treatment plan and, therefore, the budget.
Another important aspect is complications. No matter how high-quality procedures are performed in medical applications, complications can sometimes occur. This may also be due to the patient's unique condition. I strongly recommend that you protect yourself against these situations with insurance. The name of this insurance is "Health Tourism Complication Insurance". It covers areas such as transportation, accommodation, and re-treatment. However, you also need to be very careful when buying insurance. You need to carefully examine the clauses.
The clinic to be treated must be accredited by the state for health tourism. The name of this document is "Health Tourism Authorization Certificate". We strongly recommend that you request this from the clinic where you will be engaged.
You need to inquire about whether the doctor has expertise in the procedure you are requesting. Dental Implant application is a procedure that requires expertise. Therefore, you should wait for the doctor to convince you of this specialty.
The material to be used is always very important. You should ask for brands that have proven themselves as implant materials. (Swedish, Swiss, Korean, and German implant brands are good.) The extremely low prices given for implants always pose a question mark regarding the quality of the material to be used. Quality implant prices range between 450 and 1,000 Euros. Be sure to provide the certificate of the implant used and ask for the material to be opened in front of you.
Implantation is usually not a procedure that can be done in one go. Procedures called preloading or rapid loading are only possible for patients whose jawbones are in very good condition. This condition cannot be detected only by panoramic X-ray and/or tomography. It can be detected when the bone is reached during implant placement. The general knowledge that the entire process will be completed in a single session may not suit you. This will affect the success of the procedure and your budget.
Implant procedures usually require at least two sessions, depending on the structure of the jawbone. There should be at least three months between these two sessions. In the first procedure, implants are usually placed in the jawbone, and temporary teeth are attached. This takes 2-3 days. In the second session, a stay of 10-12 days is required. Therefore, please plan the entire process accordingly. This will affect your total budget.
If the bone thickness is less than 4 mm, sinus lift and bone graft should be applied first. This application requires a 3-day procedure. At least 5 months should pass until the next implant appointment.
If the bone thickness is around 4 mm, sinus lift and bone graft and implant application can be done on the same day. At least 5 months are waited for the implant crown procedure.If there is 12 mm of bone, the implant is hammered, and the crowns are placed at least 3 months later.
Smoking, milk and dairy products, and anti-depressant use should be stopped for 10 days following implant treatment. These uses affect the healing process by 50%.
Ask the clinic where you will have the procedure to organize transportation and accommodation. These should also be shown in the clinic's price list. However, for an accurate price analysis, request that it give these two prices separately. Transportation should cover the airport /hotel/ clinic/ airport route.
Currently, the prices of a 5-star normal concept hotel for accommodation vary between 70 and 110 Euros. These prices include breakfast. If you also request dinner and lunch, there may be an additional cost of 30-40 Euros.
Unfortunately, due to the exchange rate policy implemented by the Turkish Government, Turkey has become an expensive country in the last 1-2 years. However, this is not very effective for short-term stays. You can pay around 8-10 Euros for each meal outside. But there is no😊 upper limit to this
You may also want to visit the city you are in during your health journey. You can get a guidance service for this. But I don't think you'll need it. Istanbul is an easy city to visit.
Please carefully analyze the parameters we have mentioned above. Get this information from the clinic where you will be engaged.
