A Straumann Dental Implant is a treatment to replace missing teeth by placing a small titanium screw in your jawbone. This screw acts like a tooth root to support a new artificial tooth or bridge. It helps you chew better and improves your smile.
Recovery Time: It usually takes a few weeks for your jawbone to heal and bond with the implant.
Stay in Turkey: Plan to stay in Turkey for about 5-7 days initially for check-ups and to make sure everything heals well.
Return to Work: Most people can go back to work within a week after the procedure, depending on how they feel.
Return to Exercise: Light exercise is okay after about a week, but avoid strenuous activities for a while.
Visible Results: You'll start to see the final results once the implant has fully fused with your jawbone, which can take a few months.
Activities to Avoid: Stick to soft foods at first to avoid putting too much pressure on the implant. It's also important to avoid smoking to help your mouth heal.
Diet: You might need to eat soft foods at first, but you can gradually return to your normal diet as you heal.
