Dental Implants
Dental implantation is the procedure when a special fixture iinserted into the bone tissue to replace a lost tooth. First, the dentist implants a special titanium pin and after implantation puts a crown on top of the implant, which imitates the outer part of the tooth. A good implant fully replaces the functional and aesthetic properties of a real tooth. There are several types of dental implants:
• Root-like. The most common type. It is used in cases when healthy bone tissue is sufficient to secure the pin;
• Lamellar. The design has the shape of a plate. It is used to restore the front row when there is not enough bone tissue to install a root implant;
• Combined. They are used in complex and neglected situations. Especially relevant after serious injuries and injuries of the oral cavity. For example, after an accident;
• Subperiosteal. They are also used in case of unsatisfactory condition of bone tissue;
• Mini-implants. They are used to fix temporary structures to ensure an aesthetic appearance.
Laser Dental Treatment
Laser treatment is an innovative method of treatment in dentistry. The main tool of the dentist in this case is a powerful laser. It can affect both the bone part of the tooth or enamel, and soft tissue. This method of treatment is suitable for many procedures:
• Treatment of caries and periodontitis. The laser removes the affected areas, kills germs and bacteria. Due to this, it can be used to treat diseases of the bone part of the tooth;
• Teeth whitening. You can effectively and quickly whiten your teeth by 7-10 tones with a laser. This is especially important for people with sensitive teeth, because mechanical whitening in this case is very painful;
• Elimination of speech defects. Often the laser is used to trim the frenulum of the tongue neatly — this is done on the recommendation of a doctor to eliminate some speech disorders;
• Removal of benign tumors. Often the laser is used to remove benign tumors. This method is as painless and as fast as possible.
Endodontics
(Canal Treatment)
Endodontic treatment is the treatment of dental canals. It is about eliminating the infection from the root canals and preventing the recurrence of the disease. This is a very important procedure, because the root is the most important part of the tooth and its basis, the entire condition of the oral cavity depends on it. If the root is healthy, then even in the case of any other diseases of the tooth, it will be much easier and cheaper to cure it. Endodontics is used in the following cases:
• Pulpitis. This is the name of a disease in which the tissue inside the tooth becomes inflamed. Pulpitis is caused by microbes from the carious cavity and is accompanied by severe pain. Especially during meals, drinking cold drinks and at night. This disease destroys the tooth and quickly leads to its complete loss.
• Periodontitis. Inflammation in the tissues that surround the root of the tooth. It occurs due to an infection in the jaw bone. This happens through various diseases of the dental tissue. As a result, there is a strong aching pain, which worsens during meals.
Hollywood Smile
Hollywood smile in dentistry is a set of measures aimed at creating an ideal smile. There are several basic parameters that are being improved to achieve the desired result:
• The color of the teeth. Of course, the first and most important aspect is the color of the teeth. Ideally, the smile should be snow-white and monotonous;
• In dentistry, there is a so-called golden ratio rule. According to him, if you draw an imaginary vertical line through the corners of the eyes, they should coincide with the corners of the lips when smiling. This is considered to be the ideal;
• Teeth should visually decrease, starting from the middle to the end of the row. That is, it should give the impression that the largest teeth are the 2 front ones, and the smallest ones are the rear ones. The reduction should be proportional and symmetrical.
There are many ways to achieve such a smile. It all depends on the quality of the teeth, their characteristics and the desired result. All diseases in this case are solved from a larger problem to a smaller one. An individual treatment plan is developed by the attending physician.
E-Max Veneers
Veneers are special overlays on teeth that help to make their appearance more aesthetic. There are many types of such overlays, one of the best is E-Max.
• Such veneers are among the most durable. It is almost impossible to damage them during operation;
• Aesthetics. Natural appearance is one of the main criteria when choosing veneers. It is important that the color, size and structure of the lining be as similar as possible to a real tooth;
• The thickness of veneers is also an important criterion when choosing them. The fact is that for their installation it is necessary to grind the tooth enamel. This means that the thinner the veneers are, the less your own teeth will suffer, and the procedure will take place much faster. E-Max veneers are currently one of the thinnest in the world;
• One of the main problems faced by the owners of veneers is staining. Under the influence of food dyes that are consumed in food, veneers can be colored and lose their aesthetics. E-Max veneers are protected from such effects, which means they will last much longer.
Lumineers
Lumineers are essentially the same veneers that are overlays on teeth, but significantly improved. They have a number of advantages:
• Their main advantage is that they are as thin as possible. So thin that enamel grinding is not required at all. This means that there is no need to injure your natural teeth. As a rule, the thickness of lumineers does not exceed 0.2 mm, which is 2-3 times thinner than most veneers;
• The lifetime of lumineers can reach 20 years, while veneers last 2-3 times less - about 7-10 years. It should be noted that this is the recommended service life, because often lumineers are changed even less;
• Naturalness. It should be remembered about such an important aspect as aesthetics. Lumineers, as mentioned above, are much thinner than veneers. Installing them so that they look natural is much easier. Another important technology is the manufacture of lumineers so they repeat the shape and color of natural teeth as accurately as possible.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening is a procedure aimed at improving the shade of tooth enamel. White teeth are subconsciously associated with healthy teeth, and more beautiful. There are many ways of bleaching:
• Laser. One of the most effective and painless methods. You can whiten your teeth as quickly and efficiently as possible for 7-10 tones with a laser. First, the patient will have to be cleaned of tartar and soft plaque — these are necessary conditions for obtaining a high-quality result.
• Ultrasonic. It is used for patients with thin enamel, because of which the teeth become very sensitive. The procedure involves several sessions of gentle whitening, each of which lasts about 30 minutes.
• Photo-bleaching. The procedure is based on a special whitening gel with hydrogen peroxide. Not the most gentle option, since peroxide negatively affects the tooth enamel. However, the method is quite effective, so you can whiten your teeth by 8-10 tones.
Zirconium Veneers
Zirconium is also called white steel, all thanks to its phenomenal strength. Studies show that it is much stronger than steel. This material is widely used in dentistry:
• Due to its strength, zirconium can be safely used as a material for veneers and crowns. Such a high-quality material does not deteriorate and does not crack, so it is ideal for a high-quality implant;
• Hypoallergenic is another important property of this material. It is often thanks to him that patients prefer to install zirconium veneers, because many people are allergic to medical metal;
• Aesthetic appearance. Zirconium veneers are almost impossible to distinguish from a real tooth, they repeat its color and structure as accurately as possible. Zirconium is a very light and thin material;
• There is almost no need to sharpen the supporting teeth, which means that the traumatic nature of the procedure tends to zero. This is especially important for those who have very thin and sensitive enamel.
Dental Treatment Procedure
1
Before the Surgery
Before starting treatment, we do a 3D scan of the entire bite — this is necessary to assess the picture as accurately and clearly as possible. With this study, it is possible to assess the condition of the teeth and detect all the problems that require correction. To date, 3D modeling is the most accurate and perfect diagnostic method. It is especially useful when correcting the bite and installing crowns. In these cases, 3D let you to see the location of the teeth from all sides and perform all manipulations as accurately as possible. If necessary, anesthesia is administered.
2
During the Surgery
As a rule, the first stage of any dental treatment is brushing your teeth. The dentist carefully removes tartar and soft plaque. This procedure is necessary to accurately assess the condition of the teeth, as well as as a prevention of future diseases. If we are talking about installing veneers or braces, then you can not do without brushing your teeth at all. It provides reliable contact between these dental structures and teeth. This is very important for the qualitative correction of the bite. After that, the procedure you have chosen is carried out directly.
3
After the Surgery
Any dental procedures involve consulting a dentist. The doctor will recommend the right toothpaste, brush, and also give other recommendations for dental care. This is important, because high-quality care ensures dental health without visiting a dentist. If the patient follows all preventive precautions and takes care of his teeth, the next dentist appointment may not take place soon, and also take less effort and money. In some cases, the doctor may recommend plastic protection for teeth intended for use during sleep, as well as monitor the temperature and consistency of the taken food.

HOW MANY DAYS DO I NEED TO STAY FOR SURGERY IN TURKEY?The first day in Turkey will take you to check in at the hotel, and the next day we will take you to the clinic for abdominoplasty. The operation lasts 4-5 hours, after which you will be left in the hospital under the supervision of specialists for 3-4 days. In the absence of complications, patients are discharged, but for another 5 days it is recommended to observe bed rest. The stitches will be removed approximately on the 9th day.
-
HOW DO I UNDERSTAND THAT I NEED A TUMMY TUCK, AND NOT JUST LIPOSUCTION?Abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen, possible stretch marks in this area, as well as restoring weakened muscles. The procedure is not to lose weight, but to remove excess skin and fat that may remain after rapid weight loss or repeated pregnancies. Therefore, if you see flabby skin or excess fat deposits when examining your body, you can safely sign up for a consultation with us.
-
IS LIPOSUCTION DONE WITH ABDOMINOPLASTY?Rarely, abdominoplasty is performed separately from liposuction. This is due to the fact that liposuction, which is a procedure of aspiration of fats from certain parts of the body, helps to form a silhouette, preventing an unnatural appearance of the abdomen after surgery. It is important that the doctor assess whether there is a need or whether liposuction is indicated in combination with abdominoplasty in each case.
-
WILL I HAVE MY ABDOMINAL MUSCLES STITCHED (DIASTASIS SUTURED)?With classical abdominoplasty, in addition to the main ones, another incision is made around the navel, since it cannot be removed. The abdominal muscles are exposed and stitched, bringing them closer, thinning the waist and eliminating abdominal diastasis. Then the removed skin is finally separated from the patient`s body, and what remains of the tissue is pulled down and reconnected with the incision, closing the wound. Stitching of the abdominal muscles is not required only for mini-abdominoplasty.
-
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PROCESS AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY?The postoperative period is considered by many to be the most difficult part of abdominoplasty, since recovery can be relatively long. On average, it takes a patient from 10 days to gradually return to normal activities. Highly qualified surgeons recommend avoiding large efforts and activities that require excessive stress and exertion for four months after surgery. During the rehabilitation period, the patient must strictly follow the doctor`s prescriptions, including treating scars.
-
IN HOW MANY DAYS WILL I RETURN TO A NORMAL LIFESTYLE?After abdominoplasty, the patient needs at least 10 days of complete rest. In some cases, doctors prescribe complete rest for at least 15 days. After this time, the patient can return to work, but full recovery takes from 2 to 4 months. With individual physiological characteristics of the patient, the recovery process may take longer. Rehabilitation is also longer if other operations, such as liposuction and mammoplasty, were performed shortly before or together with abdominoplasty.
-
WILL I HAVE A BIG SCAR?During abdominoplasty, scarring cannot be avoided. It is usually not very large and is located at the base of the abdomen, just above the groin area. But it is easy to hide it under underwear and even under a bikini, especially with mini-abdominoplasty and classical surgery. In addition, over time, the scar becomes less bright. The size of the scar depends on the amount of skin removed during the operation, but experienced surgeons always try to minimize the traces of abdominoplasty.
-
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET RID OF THE SCAR AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY?So that the scar does not become more noticeable than it should, or a keloid does not form, which is an excessive growth of tissue, it is important that the patient has a good rest and does not make any effort to the abdominal area during recovery. After the operation, the doctor will give recommendations for rehabilitation, as well as prescribe special creams or ointments that will help make the scar as invisible as possible. Modern cosmetics help not to completely get rid of scars, but to make them barely noticeable.
-
WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY?The patient has a list of recommendations from the attending physician. Most of the possible complications are associated with non-compliance with medical advice during rehabilitation and ignoring visible signs of deterioration of health. Risks that are likely to be encountered: • Purulent inflammation. It is observed when hygiene and antiseptics are not observed during dressing; • Violation of the integrity of the stitch. It is possible with the assumption of physical exertion in the postoperative phase; • Edema. It happens after any operation, but if the swelling does not subside for a long period, it is important to consult a doctor immediately; • Lymphorrhea (fluid accumulates in the subcutaneous tissue in the area of the scar and a focus of inflammation forms when the capillaries rupture; this occurs when ignoring the need to wear compression underwear). In the Plastic Surgery Turkey Group clinic, where competent plastic surgeons with extensive practice and many years of experience work, the risk of complications after abdominoplasty is almost zero. Clear and consistent compliance with the recommendations allows you to avoid negative consequences and even shorten the rehabilitation period.
