Turkey has become a leading destination for medical tourism, especially for procedures like oral surgery. Several factors contribute to its popularity:

• Affordability: The cost of oral surgery in Turkey is significantly lower compared to Europe, the UK, and the United States. Lower labor costs and favorable exchange rates make high-quality dental care accessible.

• Quality: Turkish dental clinics and hospitals are equipped with modern technology and experienced dentists. Many facilities cater to international patients and adhere to high standards of care.

• Comprehensive Packages: AZPO Health offers all-inclusive packages that cover treatment, accommodation, transfers, and post-operative care, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

• Tourism: Combining treatment with a vacation is a significant draw. Patients can recover while exploring Turkey’s rich cultural heritage and historical sites. Istanbul, Antalya, and Alanya offer a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.

How It Works:
Oral surgery (or maxillofacial surgery) covers a wide range of procedures designed to treat and correct problems related to the jaws, teeth, and face. These procedures can include tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth), dental implants, bone reconstruction, treatment of jaw injuries, bite correction (orthognathic surgery), infection treatment, and correction of congenital anomalies such as cleft lip and palate. Diagnostics involve X-rays, CT scans, and other imaging methods that help the surgeon plan the operation and choose the appropriate anesthesia method: local or general.

Advantages:
Maxillofacial surgery addresses functional issues and can significantly improve appearance. For example, dental implants help replace missing teeth, restoring patients’ confidence and normal chewing function. Jaw injury treatment or correction of congenital defects helps restore facial symmetry and normal anatomical structures. Modern surgical methods are minimally invasive, reducing the risk of complications and speeding up recovery.

Who It’s For:
Maxillofacial surgery is recommended for patients with various problems, such as improper eruption of wisdom teeth, bone and tissue diseases (like cysts or infections), jaw injuries, congenital defects like cleft lip and palate, and malocclusions requiring surgical correction. Additionally, patients needing dental implants or preparation for orthodontic treatment may also benefit from surgery.

Considerations:
Before surgery, patients must undergo a full examination, including medical history assessment and imaging (X-ray or CT scan) to evaluate overall health and rule out contraindications. It’s essential to follow pre- and post-operative instructions. After surgery, special oral care, temporary dietary changes (such as soft or liquid foods), and rest are needed to speed up recovery. Healing can take from several days to several weeks, depending on the complexity of the surgery.

Types of Oral Surgery Available

AZPO Health provides access to a wide range of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures:

• Dental Implants: Dental implants are a popular solution for replacing missing teeth. They involve placing a titanium implant into the jawbone, which then fuses with the bone to provide a stable base for a replacement tooth or bridge.

• Single Tooth Implants: Used to replace a single missing tooth.

• Implant Bridges: Suitable for patients with multiple missing teeth along the same line.

• All-on-4/All-on-6: These techniques involve placing four or six implants to support a full arch of teeth, offering a stable and long-term alternative to dentures.

• Maxillofacial Surgery: This includes a variety of procedures related to the face, jaw, and mouth.

• Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery): Corrects irregularities of the jaw and facial bones to improve bite alignment, speech, and facial appearance.

• Facial Trauma Reconstruction: Repairs damage to the soft tissues and bones of the face resulting from accidents or injuries.

• TMJ Surgery: Treats temporomandibular joint disorders that cause jaw pain and restricted movement.

• Cyst Removal: Removal of cysts that form in the mouth or under the skin.

• Tooth Extractions: Simple and surgical extractions to remove damaged or problematic teeth.

• Bone Grafting: This procedure is performed when there is insufficient bone in the jaw to support dental implants. Bone grafting helps to increase bone volume and density, creating a stable foundation for implants.

• Sinus Lift: A sinus lift is often required when placing implants in the upper jaw, particularly if there is bone loss. The procedure involves lifting the sinus membrane to create space for additional bone grafting material.

• Other Treatments:

• Root Canal Treatment: To save a damaged or infected tooth.

• Frenectomy: A procedure to release a tight frenulum (the tissue connecting the tongue or lip to the gums).

• Apicoectomy: Surgical removal of the root tip to treat infection.

Methods Used in Oral Surgery

Oral surgeons employ various advanced techniques to ensure successful outcomes:

• 3D Imaging: Advanced imaging techniques like CT scans help in precise treatment planning for dental implants and maxillofacial surgeries.

• CAD/CAM Technology: Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) are used to create accurate dental restorations, such as crowns and bridges.

• Laser Surgery: Lasers are used for soft tissue procedures, offering precision and reduced bleeding.

• Piezosurgery: This technique uses ultrasonic vibrations for precise bone cutting, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Benefits of Each Method

Each oral surgery method offers unique benefits:

• Dental Implants: Provide a permanent and stable solution for missing teeth, improving chewing ability and enhancing aesthetics.

• Maxillofacial Surgery: Corrects functional and aesthetic issues, improving quality of life.

• Bone Grafting and Sinus Lift: Increase the success rate of dental implants by providing a solid foundation.

• Cosmetic Procedures: Enhance facial appearance, boosting self-esteem and confidence.

• Advanced Technology: Ensures precision, reduces recovery time, and improves treatment outcomes.

 

Conclusion:
Modern oral surgery offers reliable solutions for many maxillofacial issues. With individualized approaches and accurate diagnostics, patients can expect effective restoration of oral function and aesthetic improvements. Following the surgeon’s recommendations before and after surgery promotes successful recovery and optimal results.
