dental implant

[sue mac]

I have just had the misfortune of having suffered a cracked root, which has meant I have lost my front crown, and have had to have it replaced with a denture.  Its horrendous!! I feel like I am walking round with a mouth full of plastic!! I am now seriously considering a dental implant, but have been quoted £2000 here with my dentist. Has anybody had one done in Turkey, and if so at what cost?? many thanks. Thue (thed with a li[)]thp!!)

Mrs KKOB has just had a load of dental work done. She was quoted £5,000 for it in the UK, and had it done here in Fethiye for £1,200 with 6 months interest free credit. The dentist she used was Cagatay Aras.

 :)Sue, if its just one crown and both your rootd on either side are good, you might be better going for a bridge, failing that get your teeth stuck in to Sallyanns post.

Hi Sue, I was speaking to Graham (on Oaklands) and he was praising the dentists in Turkey stating how advanced they seem compared to the UK, so he might be able to point you in the direction of a good one!

It is possible to have a bridge.
I had a 4 piece bridge done by Volcan Ozdag - at the side of fish market. He renewed the crown on 1 tooth & crowned another & put the 2 bridged teeth into the middle. I'd always hated the gap (which had gone down to about 11/2 teeth wide) but my private dentist here I just couldn't get to do this.

I also had a 'floating' click-in removable bridge for missing back teeth. He said he wouldn't do implants normally on people over 35 as they don't take too well. The floating bridge he made is all porcelain as I hated the plastic in my mouth of the 1st one he made & really couldn't get on with it. He didn't charge me extra for the totally new one his technician had to make. It's also all guaranteed for 5 years.

He charges (if I remember correctly) 285TL per tooth. He's very good - totally mental - but very good! Speaks perfect English & lots of people on here have been to him.

Hi.  My husband had a similar problem to yours.  He went to Arif Arslan, next road to BIMs.  He had a bridge fitted with three teeth on it.  Total cost 200 pounds.  A friend told me similar work in UK would have been at least 800.  Speaks perfect English and really puts you at ease (I've been to him a couple of times and am terrified of dentists).  With him, no problems.  Good luck
