Dental implants are prosthetic substitutes for the tooth’s natural root. Typically, these roots are made of biocompatible materials like titanium. They serve as a solid anchor for replacement teeth, whether a single tooth, a group of teeth, or a whole set of dentures.
Dental implant surgery involves a dental surgeon affixing a synthetic tooth root into the jawbone and anchoring a replacement tooth or crown to the implant via an abutment. Dental implants in Turkey can fulfil your needs if you are worried about a tooth problem or want tooth replacement.
What You Should Know About Dental Implants in Turkey
Over the past several years, Turkey has made significant investments in the expansion of its medical tourism industry, with dental care being one of the sector’s primary focuses. As a result, Turkey has emerged as a leader in dental tourism thanks to the country’s proliferation of cutting-edge dental facilities, seasoned dental specialists, and robust healthcare legislation.
Aside from its robust healthcare industry, Turkey, with its stunning landscapes, rich history, and delicious cuisine, promises a wholesome experience when you choose to have your dental implants there.
Types of Dental Implants
Dental implants are a reliable and durable solution for replacing missing teeth. Depending on your specific needs, there are several types of implants available:
Single Tooth Implants
Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, these implants provide a permanent solution by placing an implant and crown.
Multiple Teeth Implants
This option replaces several missing teeth with either individual implants or a bridge made up of implants, providing a more stable and permanent alternative to dentures. read more
Full Mouth Implants
For patients who have lost all or most of their teeth, full mouth implants replace the entire set of teeth in one or both jaws with a series of implants supporting a full set of teeth.
Front Teeth Implants
Specially designed for the front teeth, this type of implant focuses on creating a natural-looking smile, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.
Subperiosteal Implants
Used when there isn’t enough jawbone to support traditional implants, subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum but above the bone, making them a suitable option for patients with bone loss.
Immediate Implants
These implants are placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing for a quicker restoration of your smile with minimal downtime.
All-on-4 Implants & Malo Bridges
A solution for complete tooth loss, this method uses four implants to support a full set of fixed teeth, offering a stable, cost-effective way to restore your smile. Explore the benefits of the All-on-4 technique and Malo Bridges.
Transosseous Implants
Typically used in more complex cases, transosseous implants pass through the jawbone, providing stronger support for patients who require additional stability.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you’re missing a tooth and want to restore your smile, dental implants might be the right solution. However, to ensure a successful outcome, you need to meet specific criteria:
- Good Physical Health: You should be in overall good health, with no serious conditions that could affect healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or active cancers.
- Adequate Jawbone: A fully developed, healthy jawbone is essential to anchor the implant. If necessary, bone grafting may be recommended.
- Healthy Gums: Your gums must be free from active gum disease to support the implant successfully.
- Age Considerations: Your jawbone must be fully developed (usually around 18 for women, 21 for men) before proceeding with implants.
- Realistic Expectations: It’s important to understand the commitment involved in maintaining dental implants for long-term success.

The Dental Implant Surgery Procedure
Typically, the dental implant procedure involves three stages:
1. The Preparatory Stage
Before surgery, our dental team at Dentspa will assess your needs, create a personalized treatment plan, and perform necessary medical tests and radiological exams to ensure you’re ready for the procedure.
2. The Surgery
The procedure can either be a single-stage or two-stage surgery. Both techniques involve implant placement, followed by crown fixation.
The procedure may be single-stage or two-stage. After anesthesia, the gums are opened, and the implant is placed. For single-stage surgery, the crown is attached right away, while in two-stage surgery, it’s placed after a few months.
3. Post-surgery
After the implant is placed, the bone will heal around it (osseointegration), which takes a few months. Our team will provide pain relief and guide you through the recovery process to ensure a smooth healing journey.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be permanent. This is because they integrate with the jawbone directly, forming a solid bone-to-bone link. Even while the implant is meant to last a lifetime, the crown placed on top of it may need to be changed after 10 to 20 years of use.
How long is the implant treatment period?
This depends on the technique used for your dental implant procedure. For the single-stage method, the treatment period typically lasts 1-2 weeks. The two-stage approach allows full implant integration into the jaw bone before crown placement, so the treatment lasts a few months.
What is the cost of dental implant surgery?
The cost of the implants depends on the technique used and the quality of the prosthetics. At Dentspa, we offer the best quality implants at cost-effective prices.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Taking care of dental implants is comparable to caring for regular teeth. Don’t worry; our dental team will explain all you need to do to care for dental implants appropriately. Some things you will need include regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups.
Can I eat and chew normally with dental implants?
Yes, you can eat and drink your regular diet comfortably with dental implants. You won’t have dietary restrictions that are often associated with removable dentures.
