Teeth implants are an expensive but very effective treatment for tooth loss. The procedure fully replaces the roots of missing teeth, allowing the dentist to restore the visible parts using other types of tooth prostheses.
Because they can be very expensive, many patients go to Turkey for dental implants. Prices in Turkish clinics are lower than in the UK, while the quality is similar or better.

What are Dental Implants in Turkey?
Dental implants in Turkey are screw-shaped prostheses that are inserted into the patient’s jaw to replace non-functional dental roots. They can be made from metal or ceramic, depending on the procedure requirements. Dental implants are only part of full teeth restoration procedure. After getting the implants installed, the patient will need to get dental crowns or other types of dental prostheses installed on top of them.
In essence, dental implants serve as attachments for permanent tooth prostheses when natural roots are absent or are unable to securely support the crowns or bridges. Modern implants are expected to serve for many years, often for life.
The most common material for making dental implants is titanium. It is durable and does not react with the patient’s body. Titanium is grey, but as the implants are embedded into the patient’s jawbone, they should not be visible. The only case when the titanium implant may impact the patient’s appearance is when the patient’s gums recede, allowing the implant to show through from under the crown. If the patient desires to eliminate this possibility, they can choose to install ceramic zirconia implants. Zirconia is white and does not look out of place from under the crowns.
Titanium can cause allergic reactions in a small percentage of patients. They may also want to get ceramic implants, as these teeth replacements are not known to cause allergies.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants work similarly to the roots of the patient’s teeth. The implant treatment in Turkey allows the patient to eat and talk just as if they had natural teeth. There is no chance that the implants will slip out like dentures, and the patient can eat any food they previously could. The implants allow the patient to use their full force when biting and chewing, so eating hard foods is not a problem after the dental implant treatment. In comparison, dentures, the most popular tooth replacement, make the patients unable to eat hard foods, as dentures are attached in a way that limits the patient’s mastication force. Implants do not require as much care as dentures do; there is no need for complex cleaning routines or using special supplies for better adhesion. After the treatment is completed, the patients can return to their life as if they never had missing teeth at all.
Dental Implants Installation Procedure in Turkey
The procedure for installing dental implants in Turkey can be variable, as there are several distinct types of implants. Nevertheless, each procedure of implant installation has common stages, described below.
Before performing dental implant installation, the dentist will make three-dimensional scans of the patient’s dentition and jaws. The scans will then be used to determine the optimal location and angle for installing an implant. The scan will also help the dentist determine if the patient’s jaw is dense enough for the implant installation. If the bone density is low, the patient will need to have a bone graft before getting their dental implants.
When the patient is ready for the treatment, the dentist will apply local anaesthesia at the location of implant installation. The first stage of the treatment is making incisions in the patient’s gums. The incisions are made in such a way as to expose the bone below. The screw-like implants will be installed into the holes made in the bone during the next stage. After making the holes and installing the implants, the doctor will suture the incisions. The screws will need some time to fully integrate into the bone. This is called osseointegration, the screws fusing with the surrounding bone. The bond between the implant and the bone is much weaker before osseointegration is complete, so the dentist will install a temporary dental crown first. After osseointegration is completed, which will take about eight months, the patient will need to return to the clinic to get permanent dental prostheses.
Why Would a Patient Need a Dental Implant?
Dental implant treatment in Turkey is used to replace damaged teeth with fully functional prostheses that feel no different from natural dentition. There is no need to adapt to using the implants, as after the procedure is completed, they are indistinguishable from natural dentition, both functionally and aesthetically. Dental implants can be used when alternative replacements are not viable. Furthermore, dental implants are one of the few treatments that can stop bone loss caused by missing dentition. Jawbones atrophy when they do not receive mechanical stimulation that is usually transferred through the roots. Tooth replacements that are not embedded into the bone are unable to transfer enough mechanical stimuli to stop bone density loss, which causes gradual jaw shrinkage. This leads to further issues, such as dental crowding and displacement.
What is the Cost of Dental Implants In Turkey?
The average cost of a titanium implant at Dentatur in Turkey is £550. There are many dental implant brands, so the prices vary depending on the manufacturer and material. But when you get any implant at our clinic, its price will be lower than for the same dental implant in the UK or elsewhere in the West.
The reason for such affordable prices is Turkey’s low costs of living. They allow clinics to pay less taxes, rent and other operating costs. They also make medical education much more affordable, so it doesn’t influence the cost of medical services as much. The government of Turkey also offers subsidies and other types of financial aid to allow clinics to purchase imported dental supplies without increasing the final cost for the customer. Needless to say, all these factors allow our clinic to offer treatments of premium quality for affordable prices.
Why Is It Important to Choose the Right Clinic?
When choosing a clinic for a dental implant procedure, the patient should remember that the experience and expertise of the clinic directly influence the quality of the treatment. As dental implants are installed permanently and need a long time to fully fuse with the bone, the patient should take extra care when choosing the best clinic.

Our clinic employs some of the best experts in Turkey to offer our patients safe and effective dental procedures.

They will allow you to find out the quality of treatments the clinic offers and its customer service. Most clinics will have customer reviews on their pages, but they can also be found in comments on their social media and review aggregators, such as Trustpilot.
