About This Treatment

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant fuses with the bone over a period of three to six months (a process called osseointegration), it provides a stable foundation for a custom-made crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. The procedure typically begins with a CT scan and consultation to assess your bone density and plan implant placement. On surgery day, the implant is placed under local anaesthetic. Most patients describe the discomfort as mild, similar to a tooth extraction. A temporary crown may be fitted the same day, depending on your case. After healing, you return for the final porcelain or zirconia crown to be attached. The result is a permanent, fixed tooth that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Implants do not affect neighbouring teeth, making them the preferred option over bridges for single-tooth replacement.

Is Istanbul safe for dental implants?

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.

How long do dental implants last?

What is the difference between standard and premium implants?

Standard implants (MIS, Osstem) are well-established brands with strong clinical track records. Premium implants (Straumann, Nobel Biocare) have longer research histories and may offer advantages in complex cases. Your dentist will recommend based on your specific needs.
