Dental implants in Istanbul

Permanent, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth — planned digitally and placed by experienced surgeons.

Dental implants in Istanbul

A confident, lasting solution for missing teeth

Medically reviewed by Dr. Siavash Abbasgholizadeh, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon · Updated 2026-09-02

A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once it has integrated with your jawbone, it supports a crown, a bridge or a full set of teeth that looks and works like natural teeth. Unlike a removable denture, an implant does not move, does not need to be taken out at night and does not rely on neighbouring teeth for support.

At Dentfix, implant surgery is planned on a 3D scan and placed by our oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Siavash Abbasgholizadeh. The final crowns and bridges are planned under our lead clinician, prosthodontist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşe Atay, and fitted by one of our prosthodontists. Every case begins with a free online consultation, so you know the recommended treatment and the price before you book a flight.

Who it is for

Is a dental implant right for you?

Implants are the standard of care for almost every case of missing teeth, but the right design depends on how many teeth are missing and how much bone is left to hold the implant.

  • One missing tooth. A single implant with a zirconium crown on top. The teeth on either side are left untouched — the main advantage over a conventional bridge.
  • Several missing teeth. Two or more implants carry a fixed bridge, so you do not need one implant for every missing tooth.
  • A whole jaw. A full arch of fixed teeth on four to six implants — see All-on-4 and All-on-6.
  • Not enough bone. Bone grafting or a sinus lift can rebuild the support an implant needs. For severe bone loss in the upper jaw, zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone and usually avoid grafting altogether.

Well-controlled diabetes, age and previous gum disease are not obstacles in themselves; they simply shape the plan. Heavy smoking does raise the risk of an implant failing to integrate, so we will talk about it honestly. The fastest way to find out what is possible is to send us a recent X-ray or panoramic image through the Smile Planner — our specialists assess it for free, usually within 24 hours.

Your treatment journey

The dental implant process, step by step

Implant treatment at Dentfix is split into two short visits to Istanbul with a healing period at home in between. Nothing is rushed: the bone needs time to bond with the implant, and that bond is what makes the result last.

  • 1. Free online consultation. You send photos and, if you have one, an X-ray. We reply with an honest assessment, the recommended number of implants, and a written quote — before you travel.
  • 2. First visit: scan, plan, place. On arrival we take a 3D scan and digital impressions and confirm the plan with you. The implants are placed under local anaesthetic in a single appointment; most patients describe pressure rather than pain. Any extractions are done in the same visit. This first stay usually takes a few days, and your coordinator confirms the exact schedule with your plan.
  • 3. Healing at home: 2 to 4 months. The implant integrates with the bone (osseointegration). You go home with clear written instructions and your coordinator stays in touch in your language.
  • 4. Second visit: your permanent teeth. A short return visit for the abutments and the final zirconium crowns or bridge, designed to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth. You leave with your finished smile.

If you are missing a full arch, the timeline is different: with All-on-4 you usually receive fixed provisional teeth within days of implant placement, so you are never without teeth.

Materials

Implant brands and materials we use

Every implant and restoration we place is made from premium, internationally certified materials — FDA-approved and CE-marked to European medical-device standards — and the certificates of authenticity are shown to you in the clinic. You will always know exactly which implant is in your jaw.

  • Standard international brand. A quality titanium implant system suited to most cases, and the option most patients choose. From €272 per implant.
  • Premium brand — Straumann BLT / BLX or Nobel Biocare. Swiss and Swedish systems with decades of clinical data, often recommended for softer bone or immediate loading. €690 – €890 per implant.
  • Crowns and bridges. Metal-free zirconium from Ivoclar for strength and a natural, translucent look — see zirconium crowns.

Which system is right for you depends on bone quality, the position of the tooth and your budget. We recommend one option in your plan and explain why; you decide.

Transparent pricing

Dental implant prices in Turkey compared with abroad

The figures below are our published prices per implant, next to typical private-clinic prices in the countries most of our patients come from. The difference is typically 60–70%, and it comes from Turkish clinic and laboratory costs, not from cheaper materials — the brands are the same.

Your free online consultation and treatment plan are included. The written quote lists every item in your plan, so the price you see before you travel is the price you pay for that plan. Supplementary procedures — bone grafting, a sinus lift, extractions or CT imaging — are not included in the implant price and are listed separately in your plan if your case needs them. Full details on our price list.

Your stay & aftercare

Your stay in Istanbul, healing and aftercare

The clinic is in Şişli, central Istanbul, with our coordinators speaking 9 languages. The first visit is the longer one: consultation, scan, any extractions and implant placement, plus a check-up before you fly. The second visit, for the permanent crowns, is short. Your coordinator plans both around your flights and stays in contact throughout the months in between.

After placement, expect mild soreness or swelling for a few days, managed with ordinary painkillers. Stick to soft food for the first week, keep the area clean as instructed and avoid smoking while the bone heals. Once the permanent crowns are fitted, an implant is cared for like a natural tooth: brush, floss and see a dentist for routine check-ups.

Implants carry a lifetime guarantee. Crowns and veneers are guaranteed for 5 to 10 years, depending on the treatment and the brand of material used. You also have lifetime aftercare support: if anything worries you after you return home, you write to your coordinator and a clinician answers.

Safety

Risks, success rates and how we reduce the risk

Dental implants have one of the highest success rates in dentistry: long-term studies commonly report survival above 95%. The risks that do exist — an implant failing to integrate, infection around the implant, or damage to a nerve or sinus — are rare and largely preventable with careful planning.

  • 3D planning. Every implant is positioned on a CT-based plan, so nerves, sinuses and bone volume are known before surgery.
  • Surgeon-led placement. Implants are placed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, not a general dentist.
  • Certified systems only. Straumann, Nobel Biocare and comparable international brands with published clinical data.
  • Honest case selection. If a graft is needed first, or zygomatic implants are the better answer, we say so in the plan rather than at the chair.

Results vary from person to person. We lead with transparency, not promises — and the plan you receive before travelling tells you exactly what we recommend and why.

FAQ

Dental implants — frequently asked questions

How much do dental implants cost in Turkey?+

A single implant at Dentfix costs €272 – €490 with a standard international brand, or €690 – €890 with a premium brand such as Straumann — typically 60–70% less than in the UK, Germany or the USA. The final zirconium crown is €129 – €225. Your free online plan gives you an exact written quote.

What is included in the price?+

The written plan lists every item: the implant, the abutment, the crown or bridge, the scans and the follow-up appointments. Supplementary procedures such as bone grafting, a sinus lift, extractions or CT imaging are not included in the implant price and are shown separately in your plan if you need them.

How many trips to Istanbul do I need?+

Two. The first visit, of a few days, covers the scan, planning, any extractions and implant placement. After 2 to 4 months of healing at home, a short second visit completes your permanent crowns. Your exact schedule is set out in your free treatment plan.

Does getting a dental implant hurt?+

The placement is done under local anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during the procedure. Most patients report only mild soreness for a few days, managed with ordinary painkillers.

How long do dental implants last?+

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last for decades — and at Dentfix, implants carry a lifetime guarantee. Crowns and veneers are guaranteed for 5 to 10 years, depending on the treatment and the brand of material used.

Can I get implants if I have bone loss?+

Often yes. Bone grafting or a sinus lift can rebuild the support an implant needs. For severe bone loss in the upper jaw, zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone and usually avoid grafting. Send your X-ray through the Smile Planner and our specialists will assess your case for free.

Which implant brands do you use?+

Only FDA- and CE-approved systems. Our standard option is a quality international titanium brand; our premium option is Straumann BLT / BLX or Nobel Biocare. Crowns are metal-free zirconium from Ivoclar. The material certificates are shown to you in the clinic.

Who places the implants at Dentfix?+

Implant surgery is performed by our oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Siavash Abbasgholizadeh. The crowns and bridges are planned under our lead clinician, prosthodontist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşe Atay, and fitted by one of our prosthodontists.

Can I have implants if I smoke or have diabetes?+

Usually yes. Well-controlled diabetes is not an obstacle. Smoking raises the risk of an implant failing to integrate, so we ask you to stop or cut down around the surgery and during healing. We assess every case individually from your scan and medical history.

Are dental implants in Turkey safe?+

Yes, when the clinic uses certified materials and plans properly. At Dentfix, implants are placed by a specialist surgeon on a 3D plan, using the same Straumann and Nobel Biocare systems used in Germany, the UK and the USA, and every implant carries a lifetime guarantee with lifetime aftercare support.
