Dental Implants in Turkey

About This Treatment

Dental implants are one of the most effective long-term solutions for missing or severely damaged teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, an implant is a titanium post placed directly into the jawbone — acting as an artificial root onto which a custom-made crown is fixed. The result looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth, and with proper care, can last a lifetime.

The procedure is typically carried out over two visits. During the first, the implant post is placed and left to fuse with the bone — a process called osseointegration, which usually takes a few months. On the second visit, the permanent crown is attached. Many patients are surprised by how straightforward the process is and how quickly they return to normal daily life.

Turkey has become one of the most established destinations in the world for dental implant treatment, home to clinics that combine highly trained specialists, advanced technology and rigorous hygiene standards. At Medivoyage, we work only with accredited clinics and verified specialists — and our UK-based team is with you at every stage, so nothing gets lost in translation.

Most adults with good general health are suitable candidates. The key factors are having sufficient jawbone density to support the implant and healthy gum tissue. If bone density is a concern, a bone graft may be recommended beforehand — your specialist will assess this during your initial consultation. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or active gum disease may need to be addressed first, which your Medivoyage consultation will help identify early.

The first visit — where the implant post is placed — typically takes one to two days in clinic. You will then return home while osseointegration takes place over roughly eight to twelve weeks. The second visit, for crown placement, usually takes just one day. Many patients use the waiting period to plan their return trip, and some combine it with a short break in Istanbul.

The surgery is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure itself. Some tenderness and mild swelling in the days following is normal and manageable with standard over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients find the recovery far more comfortable than they anticipated — and are back to eating normally within a week or two.

The implant posts used at our partner clinics are medical-grade titanium — the same material used in orthopaedic surgery worldwide. Crowns are most commonly made from zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal, chosen based on the location of the tooth and your preference. Your specialist will discuss the options and make a recommendation suited to your specific case.

This is one of the most common questions we hear — and it’s exactly why Medivoyage exists. Our UK-based team remains your point of contact after treatment. If you experience any concerns during recovery, we coordinate directly with your treating clinic and, where necessary, can help arrange a review with a local dental professional. You are never left to navigate aftercare alone.
