Modern dentistry offers dental implants for people with dental problems. They are necessary to install when all or most of the teeth are missing from the oral cavity due to caries, trauma, or gum disease, if there are uncomfortable removable dentures, and if there is atrophy of the jaw bone tissue. People with severely damaged or decayed teeth that cannot be restored with crowns and fillings choose implants as the optimal long-term solution. Dentures look and feel like natural teeth, serving as an ideal choice for those who want to restore their beautiful smile. Dental implantation is an opportunity to enjoy the taste of your favorite food, smile without embarrassment, and get rid of psychological discomfort.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, small titanium pins that are surgically installed into the jawbone. After installation, they fuse with the bone tissue, creating a strong and durable foundation for subsequent fixation of dentures (crowns or bridges). Unlike removable structures, implants do not cause discomfort and, with proper care, can last a long time. The advantage of this treatment is that when installing them, there is no need to grind down adjacent teeth and the entire row of teeth can be restored at once.
Modern dental clinics offer different types of dental implants:
- those that are installed inside the bone, which are installed directly into the jaw bone, have a screw, blade or cone shape and are made of titanium or zirconium;
- those that are installed on the surface of the bone under the gum. They are used when there is insufficient bone tissue volume, when bone grafting is impossible or undesirable;
- mini-implants, which are used to install temporary dentures or when there is insufficient bone tissue;
- All-on-4 and All-on-6, when four or six implants support a complete denture on the upper or lower jaw;
- those that are installed in the zygomatic bone in case of significant loss of bone tissue in the upper jaw, which allows avoiding bone grafting and other complex procedures.
The choice of the types of dental implants depends on the condition of the bone tissue, the health of the patient, and the desired result. To restore all teeth, the dentist performs a full oral restoration using full-jaw bridges. This is an expensive treatment, but in Turkish dental clinics it is cheaper than in European countries and the USA. All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant-supported bridges allow the patient to restore the entire row of teeth. A single implant system, which consists of a pin and a crown, is installed if the patient has only one missing or damaged tooth.
The benefits of dental implants
Compared to other methods of replacing missing teeth, the installation of dental implants has advantages:
- natural appearance, comfort when eating and talking;
- restoration of chewing function, which helps maintain normal digestion and general health;
- biocompatibility and durability;
- preservation of bone tissue, prevention of its atrophy;
- improved speech clarity;
- maintaining the health of adjacent teeth, since installing an implant does not require grinding them;
- ease of care without special procedures that removable dentures require;
- increasing self-esteem and quality of life;
- preserving the structure of the face and preventing its aging.
- no displacement of teeth.
These advantages make fixed dentures popular and serve as an effective solution for replacing lost teeth.
Why choose dental implants in Turkey?
If you want to quickly and effectively restore lost teeth with the help of implants and do not know where it is more profitable to get this procedure, pay attention to Turkish dental clinics. Treatment in them is more affordable than in European countries and the USA, and allows you to save money, especially if you need to restore many teeth at once. Placement of dental implants in Turkey is becoming increasingly popular among patients all over the world, which can be explained by several reasons.
Affordable prices with high-quality care
Turkish clinics, certified according to international quality standards, provide quality dental services through the use of modern equipment and advanced technologies, qualified dentists, and attentive and qualified medical staff. The doctors were educated abroad, adhere to international medical standards and have extensive experience in the purview of dental implantation. Affordable cost of treatment while maintaining its high quality is an important feature of clinics in Turkey. The Turkish lira has a lower exchange rate compared to the euro and dollar, so it is beneficial for foreign patients to be treated in Turkish clinics that provide favorable conditions and different additional services in the form of all-inclusive packages.
Turkey: a leading destination for dental tourism
Turkey confidently occupies a leading position in the field of dental tourism due to the availability and quality of medical services, convenience for patients, and rich tourist traditions. The opportunity to combine treatment with recreation, excursions, and visits to historical and cultural attractions in Turkey is an important advantage in favor of the decision to be treated in Turkish dental clinics. They provide a complete range of services, including transfers, accommodation, translation services, and creating comfortable conditions for foreign clients.
People from all over the world are attracted by the short terms of dental treatment in Turkey due to the high professionalism of dentists, the use of the latest equipment and it is possible to carry out several procedures during one visit, which saves time. Booking Health, a company that specializes in organizing treatment abroad, will help you choose a clinic and a specialist, plan and coordinate all stages of your dental restoration, and organize a comfortable stay in the country.
The process of getting dental implants in Turkey
If you have decided to have a long-term replacement for damaged teeth, it is important to have an idea of the complete range of procedures. The process of installing dental implants in Turkey includes several stages.
The initial consultation and planning
During the initial consultation, the dentist:
- examines the oral cavity, teeth and gums, bone tissue;
- collects information about dental diseases, injuries, and chronic diseases of the patient, which may influence the choice of treatment;
- accurately diagnoses the condition of the gums and the volume of bone tissue using an X-ray.
The doctor then plans the treatment, selects the type, material and shape of the implants depending on the condition of the jaw and the patient’s wishes. The dentist decides how many are needed to replace lost teeth, what additional procedures are necessary (bone grafting, sinus lift or different). The doctor provides the patient with detailed information about the cost of all stages of treatment and creates an individual schedule.
The implantation procedure
The installation of dental implants in Turkey takes place in several stages:
- local anesthesia to avoid pain during surgery;
- surgical cutting of the jaw;
- creating a channel in the jawbone, into which an implant is inserted at a certain depth – a titanium or zirconium screw – so that it is securely fixed there;
- closing the gums by applying special sutures.
After the pin is installed, the healing process begins, which lasts from three to six months depending on its type, the client’s health condition, and the density of the jawbone. During this time, the screw fuses with the bone tissue, providing a strong foundation for the future tooth.
Post-surgery recovery and aftercare
During this period, the patient wears temporary dentures to avoid discomfort and restore the aesthetics of the smile. After integration with the bone, abutments are installed on the implants, which serve as attachment points for permanent crowns. The doctor takes impressions of the patient's jaw to make them so that they fit perfectly in size and shape to replace lost teeth. After installing the crowns, the dentist gives hygienic recommendations for oral care and avoiding excessive stress on the implant system. Regular visits to the doctor are important to monitor its condition.
How much do dental implants cost in Turkey?
Permanent dentures are strong, reliable and durable; they can be worn for life, which significantly saves patients money. Their price in Turkey depends on the chosen clinic, the type of construction, the appointment of additional procedures, if necessary. Affordable cost of treatment with high quality dental work performed is the main reason why more and more people come to Turkey every year not only to restore their beautiful smile and dental health, but also to have a pleasant rest. Many clinics offer complete service packages that include initial consultation, diagnostics, treatment, post-operative recovery, and care, which is beneficial for foreigners.
Comparison: cost of dental implants in Turkey vs other countries

- one implant – from 450 to 800 dollars;
- crown – 250–500 dollars;
