A dental implant replaces a missing tooth by placing an artificial tooth (crown) on a titanium root anchored in the jawbone.
The implant fuses with the jawbone (osseointegration), acting as a stable and functional tooth root.
Suitability for an implant is determined after examination and necessary imaging, taking into account jawbone density, general health, and oral conditions.
Suitability for all treatments above is determined after an in-person examination and clinical assessment.
Who Is It Suitable For?
A dental implant is a treatment option considered for people who have lost one or more teeth and have suitable jawbone structure.
If bone density is insufficient, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be needed; exact suitability is determined after examination and imaging.
How Does It Work?
A titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone and fuses with the bone tissue over time.
Once fusion is complete, a connector piece (abutment) and then a permanent tooth (crown) are placed on the implant.
How Is The Treatment Performed?
An X-ray or CT scan is used beforehand to assess the jawbone.
The implant is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
Once the bone fusion process is complete, a permanent tooth is placed on top.
What Should Be Considered Afterward?
Mild swelling or sensitivity may occur for a few days after the procedure.
Maintaining oral hygiene and attending recommended check-ups during healing is important.
Smoking can negatively affect the healing process.

Why isn't pricing listed on the website?
Turkey's Ministry of Health advertising regulations prohibit healthcare providers from advertising prices or promotions. In addition, the amount of material and number of sessions needed vary by person, so a single figure would be misleading. Information specific to you is shared directly after an examination.
