Overview
Dental implants, also known as endosseous implants are used in order to provide a stable platform and support for a dental prosthesis such as a denture, bridge or crown. Implants are usually used as a platform to support dental crowns. Dental implants are made out of titanium and zirconia with the latter being in use for a shorter period of time – titanium dental implants have been the norm due to the metal’s durability and biocompatibility. Advances in the field of implantology made dental implant problems a very rare occurrence – reliability of the implant itself and the fact that it’s a very safe procedure are just a few factors that make it such a popular choice for dentists as well as patients.
Preparation
It’s usually a good idea for the patient to have a set of dental x-rays before leaving for dental implants overseas.
Risks
Dental implant complications can include:
● Dental implant failure (the fracture implant abutment screw, implant or both)
● Infection of the area - easily treatable with antibiotics
● Blood vessels, tissue and teeth structures around the implant can be damaged
● The implant can push into a sinus cavity (upper jaw implants only)
It’s worthy to note that dental implant complications are few and far between. Implant fractures are at 0.14%. Crown fractures are at 4.5%.
Dental implant surgery side effects can include swelling, slight bleeding, discomfort and pain which can be soothed with painkillers.
Success Rates
Dental implants are one-time investment, as they usually last a lifetime. Dental implant patient reviews report a 96.8% success rate.
Before And After
Dental implants are practically indistinguishable from natural teeth. When a ceramic crown is used, the material will reflect light in the same way as a real tooth would do. Patients can request dental implant pictures from clinics before visiting them for treatment.

Dental Implant Types – Which is Better?
For decades, the norm in dental implant materials has been titanium. With newer technological developments in the field of dentistry, different materials have started to be used for the manufacture of dental implants. These materials have been subjected to thorough research related to their chemical and physical properties before clinical applications. Ideally, dental implant materials need to be biocompatible and strong enough to resist huge amounts of pressure exerted when chewing or biting. They also need to be highly resistant to fracturing or corrosion. Titanium and zirconium dental implants are the most popular choices today for regular dental implants since these materials offer great strength and biocompatibility.
Titanium Dental Implants
These implants are made from a metal called titanium, which is the most common material used for implants as well as other prosthetics in the medical field. The biggest advantage titanium has over other materials is its biocompatibility – the bone surrounding titanium implants will continue to grow and create a permanent bond. Given its prevalence in dentistry and the medical field, titanium is also more affordable than other options.
Zirconia Dental Implants
Dental implants produced from zirconia are a relatively recent invention, becoming widely available in the 1990s. Although these implants are still relatively new, they are becoming more popular due to their aesthetics.
Titanium VS Zirconia Dental Implants
Both zirconia and titanium dental implants have different characteristics and advantages. For example, titanium has been the norm in dentistry for over 30 years, meaning that it has been thoroughly tested by millions of patients. During this time it has proven to offer high success rates both in dentistry as well as in other medical fields. Being so versatile made it virtually indispensible to the medical field. Let’s look at a few advantages titanium has over zirconia dental implants.
- Titanium dental implants are made up of two separate components – the implant which will eventually fuse with the bone and an abutment which is screwed on top of the implant. On the other hand, zirconia dental implants are produced from only one single piece.
- Titanium is fully biocompatible, meaning that it’s able to naturally fuse to bone over time, making it even more durable. Zirconia cannot fuse to bone.
- Given that titanium dental implants are produced from two pieces, it’s possible to provide customizable implant solutions for patients with bone loss or with bone deficiency.
- Zirconia-based dental implants can form micro-cracks when adjusted. These micro-cracks can later cause fractures in the implant itself. This is due to the fact that zirconia is not as flexible as other materials such as titanium.
- Zirconia dental implant crowns are usually cemented in place, instead of being screwed in place as it’s the case with titanium. Dental cement can have a detrimental effect on the tissue and bone surrounding the implant.

Made my trip overseas so much easier!
Yasmin was extremely helpful, friendly and made planning my trip so much easier. I don't know what I would have done without her! She told me how to get a travel visa and luckily warned me of any travel restrictions that were going on! I had to rebook my trip twice due to covid & restrictions and Yasmin handled everything on the hospitals end. One of the times I had to rebook it was because my layover was in london and Turkey banned all incoming travel from the UK. The airline never notified me so if it wasn't for Yasmin warning me I would have gotten on the plane and been stuck in london! Going overseas to a country you've never been to before to get plastic surgery can be scary, having Yasmin made it a lot less scary knowing you have somebody there that's on your team to help you.
I highly recommend the services of Flymedi
I highly recommend the services of Flymedi 🔝🔝🔝Professionalism, accuracy, friendliness and most of all quality work. Abud ✔️✔️✔️was our agent, we thank him for his accuracy and professionalism. I recommend !!!💯💯💯
Long waiting times in UK…
Because of long waiting times in UK hospitals due to Covid19, I hit upon the idea of having my bilateral hernia surgery done while on a 2-week holiday in Antalya. After making inquiries through Yasmin, I had a short but comprehensive consultation with an eminent surgeon Prof Alihan Gürkan and my operation was scheduled for a day halfway through my stay in Antalya. It went well with keyhole surgery, I stayed in overnight and was discharged the next day, which gave me 6 days to recover before my flight home to Scotland. Yasmin kept in touch throughout, making sure I had transport to and from the hospital, and a special thanks to Fatma, my mentor and guide at the Memorial Hospital on my day of tests and examinations. I telephoned my surgeon a few days after the operation for advice on removing my plasters and he was most helpful and reassuring about my complete recovery. I was not too fond of the breakfast, but considered it as another form of medicine! My flight home was amazingly comfortable without painkillers, although they were definitely needed for a few days after my operation. In conclusion, I would be happy to have other treatment like this, though in a nice sort of way I hope never to set eyes on the Memorial Hospital again. 🙂
A very positive outcome
A very positive outcome, following my decision to pursue in having dental cosmetic surgery/treatment carried out in Turkey. Excellent advisory skills by Flymedi rep Abud. He was professional, well informed, and followed me up with total attention throughout the whole process. Last but not least, I thank Dr Ahmed Kumsan and his team at Infinity Smiles Dental Clinic for their commitment and professionalism. Highly recommended.
Thank you Flymedi
I was considering several different options, however Abud was by far the most committed and helpful of all the agents I'd been in discussions with. Everything was organised for me and I was guided throughout and if I was feeling apprehensive about anything or had any questions Abud was always on hand to answer my questions and give reassurances. I'm so happy with the results of my operation and I was left overwhelmed by how friendly and supportive everyone was throughout. If you're considering using flymedi then I can honestly say you'll be delighted with the service both before during and after your surgery.
