Dental Implants In Tunisia

Dental implants are relatively expensive. But for some people who suffer from abnormalities of the teeth, they are indispensable.
Because in Tunisia dental implantology is efficient and that the placement of a dental implant is cheaper than in Europe, you were right to choose a dentist in Tunisia.

What you should know about the dental implants

The implant is a technique of frequent dental surgery but still little known. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is embedded in the jaw bone. It is used to replace the root of a damaged tooth or torn and to firmly support the dental prosthesis which is adapted secondary by the dentist.
The quality of an implant is determined both by the choice of good material and especially the right specialist. The surgeon makes an incision into the gum followed by the introduction of the implant, generally titanium screws he contains the gum , the conduct of the bone healing takes six weeks to six months.
In a second step, the surgeon creates an opening in the gum to remove the cover screw then places a titanium abutment or cover screw connecting the implant to the prosthesis. Finally, such a natural tooth, the definitive prosthesis is made classically.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty in Tunisia

What is Ethnic Rhinoplasty?

Many plastics surgeons, in an effort to capitalize on the growth of rhinoplasty in the black community, promote themselves as specializing in “ethnic rhinoplasty”. Ethnic rhinoplasty is a catchall term that groups all patients who are not Caucasian, be it African American, Asian, Hispanic, Indian etc. into one big super group the “ethnic”. So we now have oversimplified the individual and created two groups for rhinoplasty, the Caucasian and the “Ethnic” rhinoplasty (which places everyone else in the world into one category). The term “ethnic” rhinoplasty is problematic for two reasons;
1) it is used to lump everyone who is not Caucasian into one category and does not appreciate the patient as an individual and
2) the term “ethnic” or ethnicity relates to cultural factors such as nationality, ancestry, language and beliefs and is not appropriate when discussing differences in an individuals anatomy that may come into play when performing rhinoplasty.


Why consider Ethnic Rhinoplasty

African American noses come in all shapes and sizes and an individual’s personal reasons for getting rhinoplasty vary as much. Some African Americans are unhappy with the noses they were born with, and some initially happy with their nose have noticed changes to the shape of their nose as they have aged. For others, a sports injury or accident may have distorted the nose and they simply want there old nose back. Sometimes the goal is simply improved breathing. One thing is clear: the size and shape of the nose has a significant impact on how a person feels about there face. The nose is the most defining characteristic of the face, and a slight alteration can greatly improve one’s overall appearance.

10 Questions to Ask Before a Plastic Surgery


While the convenience of having an anti-aging treatment performed at a local spa, shopping mall, or walk-in clinic can be alluring, opting for this convenience could jeopardize health and safety. Treatments that turn back the hands of time such as chemical peels, laser skin rejuvenation, and microdermabrasion are plastic surgery procedures that require medical training for best results.

Asking the following questions before having a cosmetic procedure can help patients find a qualified practitioner and avoid complications:
  1. Will a board-certified dermatologist perform the procedure?The success of any cosmetic procedure is highly dependent on the knowledge and skill of the person performing it. For this reason, the American Academy of Dermatology (Academy) urges everyone considering a cosmetic procedure to select a doctor who is board certified in dermatology or a similar medical specialty.

    The Academy recommends that all treatments be performed by the physician or under the direct supervision of the physician. “Direct supervision” means the doctor is on site while the procedure is being performed and is immediately available during the procedure.

    Complications increase when cosmetic procedures are not performed by a board-certified physician or under the doctor’s direct supervision. In a 2007 survey conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), 56% of the dermatologic surgeons replied that they have been treating more patients for complications caused by a non-physician performing a cosmetic procedure such as a chemical peel or laser therapy. Burns, scarring, and skin discoloration are some of the most common complications.

    More than 90% of the dermatologic surgeons also said that they had seen at least one patient in the last year who had skin cancer that was either overlooked or misdiagnosed by an untrained practitioner. Without early diagnosis and treatment for skin cancer, the patient may have to undergo extensive surgery to remove the cancer. This can cause permanent disfiguration. Skin cancer also can spread. In the United States alone, one person dies from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, almost every hour.
  2. How many times has the doctor performed the procedure? 
    Don’t be afraid to ask this question. The procedure should be one
    that the doctor performs regularly. When physicians have
    specialized training in performing a procedure and have successfully
    performed the procedure on numerous patients, they usually want
    others to know. 
  3. What results can I expect? While results depend largely on the skill and experience of the person performing the procedure, the condition of the patient’s skin as well as the patient’s age and health affect the cosmetic outcome. A dermatologist typically tells a patient what to expect after visually examining the skin and gathering a medical history. A dermatologist also can tell the patient if the procedure will deliver the desired results and if it is appropriate for the patient. Often a combination of techniques provides the best results.
Tip: To help communicate the results you seek, find pictures to show what you want to look like. For example, if you want fuller, more youthful lips, find a photograph of the lips you desire. Photographs greatly help communicate expectations and break down communication barriers.
  1. May I see “before” and “after” photographs of patients or speak with patients whom the doctor has treated with this procedure(s)? Doctors should be willing to share their results through photographs or referrals. If a physician is hesitant to do so, find one who will.
  2. What is the recovery time? While cosmetic procedures have become less invasive and require less downtime, patients should know what to expect after the procedure. For example, after botulinum rejuvenation (an injectable that temporary diminishes fine lines and wrinkles) patients can have temporary swelling, redness or bruising.
  3. What are the risks and side effects of the procedure? While the risks involved in most cosmetic procedures are minimal, there are risks. Potential complications should be discussed before the cosmetic procedure is scheduled. 
  4. How long will the results last? Most cosmetic results are not permanent. While a patient’s lifestyle and overall health can shorten the length of time that a patient sees the results, there are general guidelines. For example, botulinum rejuvenation tends to last about 3 to 4 months. 
  5. Where will the procedure be performed? Most cosmetic procedures can be safely and effectively performed in a physician’s office, surgical suite, or outpatient surgical center. This gives the patient a safe, cost-effective alternative to the hospital and a level of care that spas, shopping malls, and walk-in clinics cannot offer. 
  6. What follow-up care is included? Follow-up care is an important part of cosmetic surgical procedures. Be wary of undergoing any cosmetic surgery that does not include follow-up care. Cosmetic surgery performed abroad often cannot offer follow-up care due to the amount of time that the patient will be in the country. Infection is a complication seen in patients who travel abroad for cosmetic surgery.
  7. What is the cost of the treatment? Insurance usually does not cover the cost of a cosmetic procedure. Before scheduling the procedure, find out the costs and how payment will be required.
Tip: Cost should not tempt you to perform a cosmetic procedure at home. While products ranging from chemical peels to microdermabrasion kits can be purchased online, there is little to no regulation of the sale of these products. Too often, dermatologists see patients who have scarring or discoloration after trying a cosmetic procedure at home. Sometimes the results are permanent.
Before having a cosmetic procedure, the Academy recommends consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or other physician who has received similar training. With their in-depth medical training and experience performing these procedures, dermatologists safely perform thousands of cosmetic procedures each year with excellent results.
