Patient-friendly guides to implants, veneers, braces, root canal treatment, treatment stages, limitations and costs.
"Implants while asleep" sounds appealing, but general anaesthesia means real risks and a separate anaesthesiologist. At Tursunov Clinic, implants are placed under local anaesthesia: what that actually feels like, how anxious patients are prepared, and why All-on-5 over 2–3 hours is manageable without going under. Astana.
The edge of a front tooth has chipped — what to do in the first few hours, how a composite restoration (from 32,000 ₸), a veneer (150,000 ₸) and a crown (100,000 ₸) differ, when a scan and root canal treatment are needed, and how the choice is made. A Tursunov Clinic case on restoring incisors. Astana.
Can braces be fitted at 30, 40 or 50, why treatment takes adults longer, what needs to be done before fitting, braces or aligners, and the cost at Tursunov Clinic (ligature Morelli 120,000, self-ligating 200,000, Damon 350,000, aligners 1,500,000 ₸). Astana.
Why a removable denture holds poorly, especially on the lower jaw, and three ways to fix it: a removable denture on two implants with locators (400,000 ₸), a removable one on a bar on four (500,000 ₸), or a fixed All-on-4/5 (from 1,200,000 ₸). Tursunov Clinic case studies, Astana.
Why the floor of the sinus is raised before placing implants in the upper molars, how a closed sinus lift differs from an open one, when it can be avoided, how long it takes to heal, and the cost at Tursunov Clinic (200,000–450,000 ₸). Astana.
Periodontitis is not a ban on implants — it calls for a specific order: treating the gums, extracting hopeless teeth, levelling the bone, then implants. A Tursunov Clinic case: ridge reduction and immediate implant placement on four abutments. Astana.
A checklist for after implant surgery: what to eat, when to brush, why heat, smoking and rinsing are off-limits on day one, what is normal (swelling, bruising), and when to call the doctor. Tursunov Clinic, Astana.
How professional teeth whitening at Tursunov Clinic works: preparation, the procedure, sensitivity, what does not whiten, how long the result lasts, and the cost. Doctor: Aziza Zhashibekova, Astana.
How a multi-unit abutment differs from a regular abutment, why a passive fit of the framework matters when restoring several implants, and what affects it: the impression, the scanner, the titanium bar, verification. Tursunov Clinic's experience, Astana.
Bleeding gum near an implant, an unpleasant smell, discomfort — signs of mucositis and peri-implantitis. Why bone around an implant becomes inflamed, at which stage it is still reversible, how Tursunov Clinic treats it, and how to prevent it. Astana.
How a permanent denture on a titanium bar differs from an acrylic one, why the price is almost double (1,500,000 versus 800,000 ₸), which lasts longer, which is easier to repair, and when acrylic is the sensible choice. Tursunov Clinic, Astana.
Are implants placed for smokers, how much higher is the failure risk, what a pause in smoking before and after surgery achieves, and why vaping and shisha are not safe alternatives. Tursunov Clinic's position, Astana.
Can implants be placed with type 2 diabetes, what blood sugar level is needed, how healing differs, and how patients are prepared and monitored. A Tursunov Clinic case: All-on-5 on both jaws in a patient with diabetes. Astana.
Is there an upper age limit for implants, does it matter more than the lab results, how does surgery go for patients aged 60–75, and what about blood pressure, diabetes and medication? Tursunov Clinic's experience, Astana.
What is included in a "turnkey" implant price, why one tooth can cost anywhere from 80,000 to 700,000 ₸, where extra charges hide in an estimate, and how to compare offers from clinics in Astana. Tursunov Clinic's price list, item by item.
What to do if a tooth flares up at night or on a day off: how to ease the pain before your visit, what not to do, and when the pain means an emergency. Tursunov Clinic sees adults with acute pain without an appointment. Astana.
How an erbium laser works, which procedures it is used for — cavities, canal disinfection, gum surgery, peri-implantitis, gum pigmentation, remineralisation — and who at Tursunov Clinic has trained on it. Astana.
What the IDR (Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration) and Socket Shield techniques are, why bone and gum matter when placing implants in front teeth, and who at Tursunov Clinic has trained in them. Astana.
What a comprehensive approach and full oral rehabilitation mean, why they come before orthodontics, implants and prosthetics, and why treating gums and cavities sometimes fails to hold without correcting the bite. Tursunov Clinic case studies, Astana.
How a tissue-level implant differs from a bone-level one, when it is chosen, the advantages of Straumann Tissue Level, and what it costs at Tursunov Clinic, Astana.
The RONDOflex air-abrasion unit usually does not replace the bur; it completes cavity preparation by removing the smear layer that stops adhesive bonding to tooth tissue.
Modern extraction aims not only to remove the tooth but to preserve the bony walls of the socket, which become the foundation for a future implant.
If the upper jaw is too narrow, braces alone may not be enough: they move teeth within the existing arch. Expansion appliances work on the jaw itself.
An intraoral scanner captures tooth shape optically, removing the impression tray and material that many patients find hard to tolerate.
With 50–70% of the tooth destroyed, an inlay, onlay or overlay can restore it, replacing only the lost walls and cusps rather than the whole crown.
From the outside an implant behaves like a natural tooth. There is an anatomical difference: an implant has no periodontal ligament, and that changes how it feels.
Professional cleaning and regular examination catch changes before they start to hurt. The earlier something is found, the smaller the treatment.
Gingival surgery changes the shape or position of the gum margin: covering exposed roots in recession, evening out the contour and preparing tissue for prosthetics and implants.
A short frenulum restricts the movement of the tongue or lip, affecting speech, hygiene, tooth position and, in children, the developing bite.
A cervical defect is tissue loss at the neck of the tooth, often with sensitivity. Its cause is not decay, so treatment starts by finding the load that creates it.
Veneering treats the smile zone as a whole rather than bonding facings to individual teeth: shape, length and colour are planned across the group.
What changes at an appointment when the patient is afraid: pace, anaesthesia, explaining every step. A Tursunov Clinic patient's experience (2GIS review, 27.10.2025); the consultation is free.
A first extraction after 30: why it is usually a wisdom tooth, how the visit goes, what you feel once the anaesthetic wears off and when to call. A Tursunov Clinic patient's experience (2GIS, 21.10.2025). Extraction from 20,000 ₸, wisdom tooth 40,000 ₸.
Five implants per jaw and a fixed bridge: who needs it, what a clinic must have, timelines and the price from 1,500,000 ₸. Ten Tursunov Clinic cases and a patient review (2GIS, 02.11.2025).
Do the teeth ache, what to eat, when the first movement shows. A Tursunov Clinic case with crowding and a canine outside the arch, and a patient review (2GIS, 05.11.2025). Ligature braces from 120,000 ₸, self-ligating Morrelli 200,000 ₸ instead of 400,000.
Five signs of a clinic you can stay with, visible at a professional cleaning. A Tursunov Clinic patient who was looking for a replacement for a previous dentist (2GIS, 16.10.2025). Professional cleaning 25,000 ₸, Prophylaxis 50,000 ₸ instead of 70,000.
A real calendar: consultation, surgery, healing, crown. Why "a few months" is the honest answer, what shortens it and what lengthens it. Tursunov Clinic cases and a patient review (2GIS, 25.09.2025). Izen 80,000 ₸ instead of 120,000.
