Dental Implants in Turkey: Prices, Types, & Procedure (2026)

A dental implant is a durable titanium root placed in the jaw to replace a lost tooth, and it restores both the look and the full function of a natural tooth. More and more patients are choosing Turkey because implants can often be placed in a single visit and cost a fraction of what you'd pay in the UK; many patients save well over half, even after travel.

What Are Dental Implants

A dental implant is a durable artificial root, made of titanium, that is placed in the jaw to replace a lost tooth. It helps from both an aesthetic and a functional perspective because it fully restores the tooth. Patients from other countries increasingly choose Turkey because implants can be placed quickly and cost far less than at clinics in the UK.

How Implants Work

The first phase of the procedure, after surgical insertion, is osseointegration: the process in which the jawbone fuses to the titanium. This makes the implant a genuine part of your jaw rather than merely an artificial addition.

The second phase involves adding the crown, which can be titanium, zirconia or ceramic. The crown is fabricated from durable materials that mimic a natural tooth for longevity and strength, integrating seamlessly with your own teeth.

Components of a Dental Implant

Dental Implant

The titanium post that acts as the tooth root, anchored into the jaw.

Abutment

The connector that caps the implant and links it to the crown.

Crown

The cap screwed onto the abutment that imitates your own tooth.

Cement or Screw

Fixes the crown to the abutment: either dental cement or a retaining screw.

Types of Dental Implant Treatments in Turkey

The main options are the single implant, the implant-supported bridge, the same-day (immediate) implant, All-on-4, and All-on-6.

Single Dental Implant

A single biocompatible titanium implant that serves as the root, surgically embedded in the jaw with a sturdy crown added on top. The crown can be zirconia, porcelain/ceramic, or metal.

Same-Day Implants

Also called an immediate implant. By roughly halving the wait time, the dentist places the implant immediately after extraction and adds a set of temporary teeth until healing is complete, then attaches the permanent crowns. It isn't suitable for everyone and can carry a slightly higher risk than a staged implant, so suitability is confirmed at your scan.

All-on-4

Provides full support for a complete arch of teeth in the lower jaw, upper jaw, or both. The whole set of teeth is connected to four implants; this is why it is called All-on-4.

All-on-6

Also supports a full arch in the lower jaw, upper jaw, or both, but connects the set of teeth to six implants for enhanced stability.

Full Mouth Restoration

The process of replacing all missing teeth and repairing chipped or damaged teeth through a combination of procedures, including implants. It may also refer to All-on-4 or All-on-6 when large areas of missing teeth need restoring.

When Each Option Is Recommended

  • Single implants: best for patients who have lost one tooth or a few unconnected teeth.
  • Implant-supported bridges: for patients who have lost more than two adjacent teeth.
  • Same-day implants: ideal for patients with good bone density and good oral hygiene.
  • All-on-4 & All-on-6: for patients who have had most of their teeth extracted or damaged; typically replaces an entire arch.
  • Full mouth restoration: for patients who want a complete, natural-looking smile with full function restored.

Step-by-Step Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant procedure typically involves five stages, depending on your case.

The Treatment Stages

Consultation & 3D CT Scan

X-rays, 3D imaging and cone-beam scans evaluate your dental condition and map out the procedures you may need.

Implant Placement Surgery

Once your oral health is confirmed suitable, the implants are surgically inserted: about 1–2 hours per implant under local anaesthesia.

Healing

Healing generally takes around 4 months, allowing the implant to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration).

Second Visit

After healing, the abutment is placed and, once stable, a custom-made crown is fitted.

Adjustments & Aftercare

The dentist checks your bite and makes adjustments so the crown is comfortable and fully functional.

Same-Day Considerations

Immediate implants aren't for everyone; they require sufficient bone density and good general and oral health.

Surgeries That Might Be Needed Before Implant Placement

When These Are Needed

A sinus lift and bone grafting are usually needed when a patient has low bone density, which would otherwise affect the longevity of the implant. Your surgeon will confirm whether either is required from your 3D scan at consultation.

That said, although nearly all dentists routinely recommend grafts, graft material does not always dissolve completely over time, particularly around the neck of the implant, where residual particles can persist. This can interfere with osseointegration and, in a short time, actually stimulate bone loss. For this reason we assess every case individually and graft only when it is genuinely needed.

Risks & Complications (What You Should Know)

Chart of dental implant success rates: around 95% overall, lower for patients with chronic conditions

Published studies report dental implant success of roughly 95–98%, though the rate is lower when risk factors are present, and it rises sharply when treatment is carried out by an experienced professional. Understanding the factors below helps you protect your result.

Implant Failure Risks

Several factors can affect the outcome of an implant and lead to failure, including:

  • Smoking
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Gum disease
  • Poor bone density
  • Diabetes
  • Compromised immune systems and bruxism
Aftercare

Skipping aftercare can compromise the implant: smoking, eating foods that pressure it before healing, or using abrasive cleaning tools all put your result at risk.

Quality Differences

Outdated materials such as composite resin or polymers carry a much higher risk of failure than modern titanium and zirconia.

Travel-Related

Implants usually need more than one visit. Missing a visit due to travel issues can leave treatment incomplete and risk failure.

Crown Options for Dental Implants in Turkey

The crown that sits on top of the implant is chosen during planning, based on the tooth's position, your bite, and your preferences. We'll explain which option suits your case at consultation.

Zirconia Crowns

One of the best natural-looking options; it mimics tooth translucency and is metal-free, avoiding any metal allergy concerns.

Porcelain Crowns

A great combination for an implant: you get the strength and durability of metal underneath, with a natural-looking porcelain surface on top.

Titanium Crown

Biocompatible, durable and long-lasting. The one drawback is that it isn't tooth-coloured, so it's not ideal for highly visible teeth.

Crown Materials Compared

MaterialProsCons
Zirconia (Ceramic)Strongest tooth-coloured option; long lifespan; biocompatible; high success in full-arch casesNot as translucent as porcelain; tougher to adjust and polish
Porcelain Fused to Titanium (PFM)Good blend of aesthetics and strength; long clinical historyA metal line can appear at the gum; porcelain can chip; not as aesthetic as zirconia
Titanium (Metal Alloy)Best material for the implant itself; highest strength; biocompatible; long-term reliabilityNot aesthetic; not used for visible crowns
Gold (Metal Alloys)Most durable; very gentle on opposing teeth; excellent biocompatibilityExpensive; not tooth-coloured

Dental Implant Brands Used at Our Clinic

The most commonly used implant materials are titanium, zirconia and ceramics. Brands such as Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Astra Tech offer a range of abutment, implant and crown shapes and materials.

Why Brand Matters

It's worth understanding brands, because they vary in price, quality and long-term reliability.

Straumann implant logo
