Get Your Dental Treatments PlanAbout dental treatments
Dental treatment in Turkiye ranges from crowns and root canal treatment to dental implants and full-arch restorations such as All-on-4 and All-on-6, where a complete set of fixed teeth is held in place by four or six implants.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it has fused with the bone, a crown, bridge or full arch is fixed on top. Whether you're suitable, and how many visits you need, depends on your bone, gums and general health, which the dentist assesses from your X-rays and in person.
How the process works
Photo & X-ray Review
A partner clinic dentist reviews your images
1–2 days
Single Visit (most crowns, root canals & up to 2 implants)
Treatment completed and, for eligible implant cases, the crown fitted on top in the same trip ("immediate loading"). The clinic confirms you're a candidate (non-smoker, adequate jawbone density) after reviewing your photos/X-rays.
5–7 days
Two-Visit Path (3+ implants or a full-arch package)
Visit 1 places the implants; you then heal at home while they integrate with the bone (a normal, planned part of implant treatment, not a booking error) before returning for Visit 2 to fit the crowns.
Visit 1: 3–4 days · Healing: 3–4 months · Visit 2: 7–10 days
Recovery & aftercare
Typical timings. Your doctor will give you a personal plan.
- Crowns and root canals
- Usually little or no downtime. Some sensitivity for a few days is common.
- After implant surgery
- Swelling, bruising and soreness are common and usually ease within a few days. Stick to soft food as the dentist advises.
- Implant healing
- Implants need time to fuse with the jawbone, typically 3 to 4 months, before the final teeth are fitted. This is why larger implant cases need two visits.
- After your final teeth
- Most people get used to new crowns or a new arch over a few weeks.
Once you're home
- Follow the dentist's instructions on cleaning, mouthwash and diet in the first weeks.
- Avoid smoking: it slows healing and makes implant failure more likely.
- Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth and around implants, and keep up regular check-ups with a dentist at home.
- Bring your X-rays, treatment records and the implant details home so your own dentist knows what was done.
- Contact the clinic if swelling or pain gets worse after the first few days, or if an implant or crown feels loose.

Risks to know about
Every treatment carries risks. These are some of the main ones. The treating doctor will explain the risks that apply to you before you give your consent.
- Infection around an implant.
- An implant not fusing with the bone, which may mean it has to be removed and replaced later. Smoking and poorly controlled diabetes make this more likely.
- Damage to a nearby nerve, causing numbness or tingling in the lip, chin or tongue. This is usually temporary but can occasionally be permanent.
- Sinus problems when implants are placed in the upper jaw.
- Gum disease around implants over the longer term if they aren't cleaned well.
- Preparing a tooth for a crown removes some natural tooth, which can't be undone. Crowns can also chip or come loose over time and need repair.

Frequently asked questions
Will I need two trips?
Most crowns, root canals and up to two implants can often be completed in one trip. Larger implant cases and full-arch packages usually need two visits, with 3 to 4 months of healing at home in between. The dentist confirms this after reviewing your X-rays.
Is everyone suitable for implants?
Not always. You need enough healthy jawbone and gum, and heavy smoking or uncontrolled diabetes can make implants less likely to succeed. Some people need a bone graft first. The dentist decides after examining you.
Can my dentist at home look after my implants?
Yes, for routine check-ups and cleaning. Repairs or corrective work on treatment done abroad may not be available on the NHS and may need to be paid for privately.

What's not included?
