Making Space for Your New Teeth With Advanced Methods!
Split surgery, also known as jaw surgery, is a surgical method that helps to correct the shape, structure and relationship disorders of the lower and upper jaw. Split surgery is performed especially for the treatment of stenosis in the upper jaw. At the same time, split surgery is used as a transverse enlargement method if the jawbone is insufficient for implant application.
Upper jaw stenosis is an oral and dental health problem that needs to be treated in childhood, and is caused by long-term baby bottle use and finger sucking habits in the developmental period. It is also seen due to birth and genetic reasons. Jaw stenosis, which is also the source of orthodontic problems, must be treated because it causes crowded teeth and aesthetic concerns.
How Is Split Surgery Performed?
In cases where the jawbone is insufficient for implant application, split surgery, which is the transverse enlargement of the jawbone, can be applied at any age. In addition, enlargement surgery can be performed to ensure the ideal jaw structure before orthodontics treatments.
The enlargement of the jawbone is applied in cases where the jaw is in front or behind or even slides to the side during closing and chewing. Both the jaw is placed in the correct position and the enlargement of the jaw is completed for orthodontics treatments.
When jawbone enlargement treatment is applied at a young age, it provides a healthy progress of dental development. After the age of 6, it is possible to give the desired shapes to the bones without surgery with the treatments performed without completing the development of the upper jaw bone. However, when it is late, the desired width can be achieved thanks to the split surgery. Before the application, the patient is anesthetized. In the surgery performed by the maxillofacial surgeon, the ideal width and position is achieved by making transverse enlargement. After a short recovery period, the patients can return to their daily life.
The Best Age Range for Treatment is 7-8 Years!
The sooner treatment is initiated in upper jaw stenosis, the better results are obtained in order not to need split surgery. The most suitable age range for the treatment of upper jaw stenosis is 7 - 8. A successful treatment plan is applied with removable orthodontic appliances and removable plaques for jaw stenosis diagnosed at an early age. While removable appliances cannot be used in the treatment process of children aged 13-14, it is necessary to expand the jawbone in adults.
While the desired results are obtained with the specialist dentist for jaw enlargement surgery, the desired results are obtained with the jaw appliances used without split surgery. However, split surgery is absolutely necessary for implant in some patients. You can contact your dentist to get detailed information about split surgery.

Well I have just visited and had my first phase of treatment,throughout the process ,I have been in contact with Arina who has guided me throughout the process ,with prices,hotels,transfers and any questions I needed answering ,I came off the plane and my transfer was waiting for me to take me to hotel,I stayed at the La Marge,a lovely hotel and the staff couldn’t have done anymore,very friendly and always helpful,day 1 I was picked up in the morning by the transport and met by the lovely Anya who put me at ease straight away,day 1 is exhausting but getting most of it all done is the best way,I left there sore and a bit swollen,but had all the antibiotics,painkillers,mouthwash,ice packs to help,personally I went back straight to sleep and woke up in the morning,it was a lot better,all the staff at Tulay are first class,the cleanliness and professional manner in which they all shown was amazing,i want to thank them all and see you in September for Phase 2
I must say that the whole process is completely digital. First, they take your 3D jaw tomography and explain everything in detail, you get all the info about the process before your treatment. For mouth impressions, they use a 3D scanner which is one of the best ones (believe me I researched a lot about these things while choosing a clinic). They also have their own lab and your crowns are done there, that’s why everything s done super fast! I enjoyed my experience at Akkol Dental
Big shoutout to Anya! As a foreigner, communication is key, and Anya made everything clear and easy, she explained the process from start to finish and I felt safe at this place. Doctor Adnan did my crowns and the result was fantastic!
I was verry happy for this company the staff was sweet and proffesinelt. I pay 1.750€ for 12 crowns take € hvis you for the payment Regards Detlef Otto Denmark
I came to Antalya to get zirconia crowns, and I’m beyond happy with the results! Coordinator Arina was incredibly helpful from start to finish, she explained every step of the process, helped me with transportation, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Rifat is a true artist, he carefully designed my new smile, and my crowns look very natural and beautiful. The procedure was painless, and the clinic’s technology is top-notch. Now I can smile with confidence again! Highly recommended

Where do I start? I would like to extend my gratitude to Arina and all the crew at Tulay Akkol dental centre. Arina was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process and really excelled in great customer service. From the moment I arrived in Turkey with my family the transfer to the hotel was smooth and stress free. The hotel we stayed in was fantastic and the staff there were lovely. I personally would like to thank the dentist for excellent work and for being very patient and understanding. I can't speak highly off Tulay Akkol and the fantastic treatment I received for my smile makeover. Arina, you are a star and thank you for everything.
