Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Treatments

Dental Implants

Can every patient have dental implants?

Dental implant treatment is suitable for patients who are in good general health and have sufficient jawbone volume and density. However, certain systemic diseases and medications may affect the treatment plan.

In which cases may implant treatment not be suitable?

Uncontrolled diabetes, certain autoimmune diseases (such as lupus), and some cancer treatments may pose a risk for dental implant procedures. These conditions require a thorough evaluation by a dentist.

Can diabetic patients have dental implants?

In diabetic patients, implant suitability depends on how well the condition is controlled. HbA1c levels are evaluated before treatment, and if they are within an acceptable range, implant treatment may be performed.

How many times do I need to travel to Turkey for implant treatment?

Implant treatment is usually carried out in two stages. During the first visit, the implants are placed. The second visit takes place after the healing period, when the permanent teeth are fitted. The first visit typically requires around 6 nights, while the second visit requires approximately 8 nights.

How long do I need to wait after implant placement?

A healing period of approximately 3 to 6 months is required for the implants to fully integrate with the jawbone. This period is essential for the long-term success of the treatment.

How long is the healing process for dental implants?

The process of osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the bone, takes around 3 to 6 months. During this time, temporary prosthetics may be used until the permanent teeth are placed.

Do you provide an implant passport?

Yes. At Global Dental Center, patients receive an implant passport after their treatment. This document is issued during the second visit when the permanent teeth are fitted.

Is there a risk of implant failure?

Dental implant success rates are very high. While the risk is extremely low, it may vary depending on the patient’s overall health and oral hygiene. Proper care significantly reduces the risk of failure.

Are dental implants covered by a warranty?

The implants used are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. In addition, the clinic provides long-term support and warranty services under certain conditions. Patients are fully supported in case of any issues.

Crowns & Veneers

Do I need any special care after getting dental crowns or veneers?

No, no extra care routine is required. You should continue brushing your teeth regularly and preferably use a non-whitening toothpaste. For better cleaning, a water flosser is recommended.

Will I experience sensitivity after crown or veneer treatment?

Yes, temporary sensitivity after treatment is normal. This is usually short-term and typically disappears completely within a few weeks.

What is the amount of tooth reduction for crowns and veneers?

For dental crowns, approximately 30% of the tooth structure is reduced. For veneers, only minimal preparation is done on the front surface, around 7–8%.

Which is more suitable for me: veneers or zirconium crowns?

The most appropriate option is determined by your dentist based on your tooth condition and aesthetic needs. Generally, veneers are recommended for patients with healthy teeth who mainly want cosmetic improvement.

Can I choose the shape and color of my crowns or veneers?

Yes. Patients can choose both the shade and shape of their teeth during the treatment process. The design is planned according to facial structure and aesthetic expectations.

How long does crown or veneer treatment take?

Crown treatment usually requires at least 7 days to complete. During this period, impressions, preparation, and final fitting are carried out.

How long do dental crowns and veneers last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental crowns and veneers can last between 20 and 25 years. However, this duration may vary depending on individual oral care habits and dental health.

Are dental crowns and veneers covered by warranty?

Yes, crowns and veneers are covered by a 5-year warranty. If any fracture or crack occurs during this period, they are replaced free of charge. This reflects our commitment to long-term patient satisfaction.

When is a crown preferred over a veneer?

Crowns are generally preferred when both structural strength and aesthetics are needed, while veneers are more suitable for cases requiring primarily cosmetic improvements.
