Implant Supported Prosthesis
1.🦷 Implant-Supported Prostheses: A Permanent Solution for Aesthetic and Functional Dental Treatment
A.Introduction: A Modern Approach to Missing Teeth
Tooth loss can significantly impact not only your smile but also your overall oral function. Eating, speaking, and even self-confidence are often affected. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a highly effective solution: implant-supported prostheses. These restorations provide both aesthetic appeal and functionality, offering long-lasting results.
At LHC Klinik, we combine advanced dental technologies with expert care to deliver personalized, reliable, and aesthetic solutions for missing teeth.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. Over time, it fuses with the bone to provide a stable and durable foundation for prosthetic teeth.
What Are Implant-Supported Prostheses?
🦷 Implant-Supported Prostheses
Implant-supported prostheses are artificial teeth placed over dental implants. These restorations replace missing teeth by attaching securely to the implant base, offering enhanced stability and a natural appearance. They come in two main types:
1. Fixed Implant-Supported Prostheses
- Permanently attached and cannot be removed by the patient
- Ideal for those seeking the highest level of comfort and aesthetics
- Suitable for replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch
2. Removable Implant-Supported Prostheses
- Can be removed and reinserted by the patient
- Often preferred in cases of multiple missing teeth
- Provide a cost-effective and practical solution
Key Benefits of Implant-Supported Prostheses
🦷 Advantages of Implant-Supported Prostheses
Implant-supported prostheses offer numerous advantages that make them a superior choice compared to traditional dentures or bridges:
🔹 1. Natural Aesthetics
- Designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth
- Made with high-quality materials like porcelain and zirconia
- Enhances facial symmetry and supports a confident smile
🔹 2. Improved Functionality
- Restores full chewing and speaking abilities
- Allows for comfortable eating without fear of movement
- Supports proper bite alignment
🔹 3. Long-Lasting Durability

The Application Process: Step by Step
🦷 Implant-Supported Prosthesis Process
Getting implant-supported prostheses involves several carefully planned steps, all managed by our experienced dental team at LHC Clinic:
1. Consultation and Planning
- A comprehensive oral examination, X-rays, or 3D imaging is performed to evaluate your dental health.
2. Implant Placement
- Titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
3. Healing Period
- A healing period of 3–6 months allows the implant to integrate with the bone.
4. Abutment Placement
- A connector piece (abutment) is attached to the implant to hold the prosthesis.
5. Prosthesis Fitting
- The final custom-made prosthesis is placed, either as a fixed or removable solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hair transplantation is a surgical solution for hair loss. Suitable candidates depend on factors like the cause of hair loss, its stage, age, health, donor hair availability, expectations, psychological readiness, commitment to aftercare, and hair texture. Consulting an experienced surgeon is crucial for personalized advice and discussing techniques like FUT or FUE. Not everyone is a candidate, and alternative treatments may be suggested.
Hair transplantation is generally considered a permanent solution. The transplanted hair, which typically consists of hair follicles taken from the donor area, does not fall out. The hair follicles in the donor area are genetically programmed to be permanent, so they do not have a tendency to shed. Therefore, there is no hair loss in the areas where hair transplantation is performed.
People who are not satisfied with their first operation results, think that it is sparse, or whose donor area is too weak to achieve that number of hair grafts (to cover all the entire bald zone in one session) can have two operation sessions. 2nd session of hair transplantation is wholly related to the quality and abundance of the hair in the person's donor area. There is no problem if the number of hair grafts is sufficient to conduct the operation of a person who will have the second operation. However, if there is too much damage in the first session and the donor area is harmed enough to extract grafts again, performing the second session operation is not recommended. It will cause more damage to the donor area. You can have more transparent information about this situation when you show your pictures or direct examination to your hair transplant doctor.
Those who cannot have a hair transplant for the second time?
1.People whose donor area is damaged too much during the first session.
2.People who do not have enough hair in their donor area to cover enough broad recipient area.
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that allows natural and permanent relocation of hair to thin or bald areas. Typically, hair follicles, in the form of small tissue pieces called "grafts," are harvested from the donor area (usually the back of the head and beard area) and then implanted into the recipient areas where they are needed.
The budget for hair transplantation in Turkey can vary depending on several factors. Generally, hair transplantation prices in Turkey may be more economical compared to other countries. However, it is difficult to provide an exact price because the prices vary based on clinics, doctors, techniques used, and the individual's hair transplantation needs. Generally, your budget for hair transplantation in Turkey may need to be at least between 2000 and 7000 USD or Euro.
