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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dental implants cost in Turkey?

Dental Implants in Turkey typically cost £350-£550 per per implant. This is significantly less than the UK average of £2,950.

Is Turkey safe for dental implants?

Yes. Turkey 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 I need to stay in Turkey for dental implants?

You'll typically need to stay 5-7 days per visit in Turkey. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.

How long do dental implants last?

The titanium implant post can last a lifetime with proper care. The crown on top typically lasts 10-15 years before it may need replacing due to normal wear.

Is the implant procedure painful?

The surgery is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Most patients report mild soreness for 2-3 days afterwards, manageable with over-the-counter painkillers.

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.

Which Turkish city is best for dental treatment?

Istanbul has the most clinics and the widest choice — best for complex cases and patients who want multiple options. Antalya is popular for patients combining treatment with a beach holiday, with purpose-built resort-style clinics. Izmir is quieter and often slightly cheaper. All three cities have excellent dental infrastructure and qualified specialists.

How long do I need to stay in Turkey for dental treatment?

Crowns and veneers: 5–7 days. Dental implants: 7–10 days. All-on-4 full arch: 7–10 days for the first trip. Root canals and extractions: 2–4 days. Complex cases involving bone grafts typically require two separate trips 3–6 months apart. Clinics provide a personalised day-by-day schedule based on your treatment plan.
