How many implants do you need?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds bone material to the jaw to rebuild areas where bone has been lost. Bone loss commonly occurs after tooth extraction (the bone resorbs without a tooth root to stimulate it), from advanced gum disease, or from long-term denture wear. Sufficient bone volume is essential for successful dental implant placement. The procedure involves placing bone graft material into the deficient area, which acts as a scaffold for your body to grow new bone. The graft material can be synthetic (alloplastic), sourced from a tissue bank (allograft), or taken from another area of your own body (autograft). The graft is covered with a membrane to protect it and hold it in place while new bone forms. Healing typically takes three to six months, during which the graft integrates with your natural bone. After this period, the area is reassessed with a CT scan, and if sufficient bone has formed, implant placement can proceed. In some cases, a small bone graft can be done at the same time as implant placement, avoiding the need for a separate healing period.

Yes. Istanbul is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.
You'll typically need to stay 4-6 days in Istanbul. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic or sedation, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Expect moderate swelling and discomfort for 5-7 days afterwards, manageable with prescribed painkillers.
Typically 3-6 months, depending on the size of the graft and how well you heal. Your dentist will confirm with a CT scan that sufficient new bone has formed before placing implants.
Most clinics use Bio-Oss (a bovine-derived material) or synthetic bone substitutes. These are safe, well-researched, and widely used. In some cases, bone from your own jaw or chin may be used for larger grafts.
Istanbul is one of the most visited cities in the world, welcoming over 20 million tourists annually. Dental clinics in modern districts like Sisli, Levent, and Atasehir are in safe, well-connected areas. Standard travel precautions apply, as with any major city.
Most treatments require 5-10 days. Single implant placements or veneer preparations typically need 5-7 days, while full-mouth restorations like All-on-4 may require 7-10 days. Your clinic will provide a personalised timeline based on your treatment plan.
