How the dental implant process works in Turkey

The treatment journey for patients travelling to Turkey is fast, organised and comfortable:

Free online consultation

Send us your X-ray or panoramic film and we review it to prepare a personalised treatment plan — free and with no obligation.

Arrival & clinical examination

On arrival in Istanbul, your dentist examines your jawbone and oral structure to confirm you’re suitable for implants.

Implant placement

Placing an implant usually takes around 20–30 minutes and is completed the same day, under local anaesthesia.

Healing period (about 3 months)

You return home while the implant integrates with your jawbone. Temporary teeth keep your smile and function in place.

Final visit – permanent crowns

Once healing is complete, a short second visit fits your custom-made permanent crowns or bridges.

Most patients stay 3–7 days for the first visit. The second visit, after about 3 months, usually takes 2–3 days.

Why are dental implants cheaper in Turkey?

A favourable exchange rate, high-quality dental technology and lower laboratory costs — without compromising on standards.

Is the dental implant procedure painful?

Generally no. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you don’t feel pain during treatment.
