Dental implantation in Turkey is well known for its high level of expertise with very reasonable costs in exchange for the quality offered.
Dental implantation and tourism in Turkey
Governmental support
The government supports the medical tourism sector because it is an important tributary of the gross national product, so governments form partnerships with hospitals and distinct centers that give a good impression of the quality of medical service, and in this regard the Health and Beauty Hospital has several partnerships with official and semi-official bodies in Turkey.
The number of universities and colleges of dentistry exited tens of thousands of dentists, and placed them in the face of a highly competitive market.
Location
The location of Turkey in the center of the world, making accessible easy from anywhere, and as a result you will find in the health hospital and beauty patients from most countries of the world.
Tourist facilities
Because Turkey is a tourist country, it is completely ready to serve tourist patients. Of course, including dental implant patients.
Dental implantation factors in Turkey
There are several factors that made Turkey a pioneer in the dental implant business.
Dental implantation technology in Turkey
Turkey use of the latest technology in the field of dentistry and dental prosthesis. The Health and Beauty Hospital alone has the most advanced prosthesis manufacturing laboratories in the world.
The large number of patients attending the hospital made us establish the most sophisticated laboratories in order to treat the largest possible number of patients without any error.
Dental implantation equipped medical facilities in Turkey
The government is actively monitoring clinics and hospital places to be of the highest level of professionalism, comfort and sterilization. Therefore, many dental needs have been forced to work to equip these facilities in a high manner
Although there are dental implant clinics and centers in Turkey that operate illegally and are far from oversight, they are easily distinguished in terms of preparing the clinic and the accompanying equipment.
Dental implantation cost in Turkey
The highly competitive market in Turkey has made competition not only for quality of service, but also for cost. The cost of dental implants in Turkey is lower than many neighboring countries, and it is certainly less expensive than Europe and America.

Dental implant techniques in Turkey
The techniques used to place dental implants in Turkey are important in determining the chances of success of the procedure. There is usually a planning stage and an implant insertion stage, followed by a dental crown or bridge once the implant heals.
Dental implants are usually made of titanium, which is a biocompatible material. This is accepted by the body so that osseointegration (fusion between bone and implant) is likely to occur. Titanium provides a strong foundation for the formation of replacement teeth with strong support, which continues to strengthen over time. Thus the bond between the bone and the implant continues to grow as they fuse together.
Screening and planning
It is important for your dental implant surgeon to plan the procedure correctly to increase the likelihood of success. There are many factors that must be taken into consideration in the planning process, such as:
- The general health of the patient
- The shape, size and location of the jawbones
- The condition of the mucous membranes and the jaws
- Shape, size, and position of surrounding teeth (adjacent and opposite)
Additionally, there are certain health conditions that can greatly increase the risk of failure and may influence the decision whether to proceed with surgery. For example, people with health conditions such as diabetes or osteoporosis, and those who are heavy smokers or have poor oral hygiene, are more likely to develop peripheral infection and implantation failure. Each of these factors must be evaluated before deciding on a procedure.
An acrylic guide is usually made first to show the correct position and angle of the implant. In some cases, plaster models are used to determine the number of implants required and the ideal position for the implants.
X-rays or a CT scan can be used to gain insights into the position of the jaw and bone density, which are important factors for the success of a dental implant. The image can then be loaded into a CAD / CAM program to simulate the treatment and the desired outcome.
Dental implants and implantation in Turkey
Expose the bone so that a dental drill can be used to shape the site where the supporting screw will be placed in the jawbone. Depending on the patient’s specific condition, the procedure may be performed in one or two stages.
In the one-stage procedure, the implant is placed at the prepared site and then covered with a healing cap that protrudes through the gum. The healing cap can be removed after a period of 3-6 months when osteoporosis occurs. A permanent brace can be attached at this time. Then the prosthetic tooth or crown is held in place over the abutment.
Two-stage surgery is preferred when the bone density or quality is less than ideal, as this type of procedure will increase the likelihood of success.
In this procedure, a cap screw is initially placed directly over the top of the implant, and the gum is sutured over the screw while it heals. At this time, a second procedure is required to make an incision in the gum to expose the implant and attach the healing cap. After the gum has healed, the cap can then be removed and the stent fixed. Similar to the one-stage procedure, an artificial tooth or crown can then be fixed in place over the abutment.
Installing crowns or bridges
It usually takes about six weeks for the gums to heal completely after the implant is inserted, at which point a second impression of the mouth should be taken via an X-ray or a CT scan. This helps create a dental model that is helpful in building the crown or bridge that will be inserted so that it matches the shape of the jaw and other teeth.
After preparing the crown or bridge to be inserted, it is fixed to the abutment on dental implants. Appearance, fit and function should then be evaluated, including the way in which the upper and lower jaw will fit together when biting the patient.
The follow-up process usually takes several months as the dental implant heals, with regular appointments to review the progress, stability and function of the implants. Patients should be encouraged to prioritize oral hygiene and dental health to help improve the long-term success of the implant. This includes regular brushing, flossing, rinsing, and dental checks.
8 Steps of dental implants in Turkey
The most important 8 steps of dental implants in Turkey are as follow:
- Prepare a tomograph image of the jaw of the nearest clinic in your country, (a tomograph image is necessary for dental implants and cannot be replaced by a panoramic image because it depicts bone density as it is a necessary condition for dental implants in Turkey and elsewhere)
- Contact the hospital and speak with the physician’s assistant and in Arabic, he will ask you about your expectations about the treatment and some health questions to transfer your case to the treating doctor; the attending physician determines the complete treatment plan with the cost and the physician’s assistant will contact you and provide you with details of the treatment as well as transportation options, hotel reservations, and other accompanying services.
- Treatment begins with a doctor’s clinical examination, in addition to taking a new timograph; the doctor determines the locations of dental implants, and before dental implantation, he must examine the jawbone to see whether it is possible to implant the tooth directly or to support the jawbone or sinus lift.
- Local anesthesia for the jaw; after completing the bone support – if any – and treating infections and infections, we move on to the dental implantation process
- The process begins with drilling the implant site in the jawbone and installing the metal implant, and you will be surprised that this process takes only 8 minutes without any pain.
- Temporary tooth crowns are fitted over the metal implants, and they will be replaced with permanent crowns after 3 months; a period of three months is very necessary for the metal dental implants to heal with the mushroom bone
- After three months, permanent tooth crowns are installed, which are either zircon or another material as desired by the patient. The process of dressing the teeth also takes a little time due to the advanced technology in the Health and Beauty Hospital.
- Where measurements are taken with a 3D scanner and sent to a CAD-Cam device in the choir, it manufactures the teeth directly; then the crowns are ready for the initial installation, or the so-called ‘brava’. If you like the view of the crowns, they will be approved or modified and then on to the polishing stage in the laboratory and then the permanent installation
