About Dental Implants

A dental implant is a small titanium screw placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. It can hold a single crown, a bridge or a denture.

After the implant is placed, the bone needs time to heal around it, usually around four months, before the final crown, bridge or denture is attached. That's why larger implant cases need two trips to Turkiye.

Who it may suit

One or more missing teeth, or teeth that need to be removed.
Enough healthy jawbone to hold the implant. The dentist checks this from your X-rays; some people need a bone graft first.
Smoking, gum disease and poorly controlled diabetes can make implants less likely to succeed.
You should be assessed by a qualified dentist before you receive a treatment plan.

How long you'll stay in Turkiye

For eligible cases with up to two implants, treatment and the crowns can often be completed in one trip of 5 to 7 days. Three or more implants usually mean two visits: 3 to 4 days to place the implants, 3 to 4 months of healing at home, then 7 to 10 days to fit the final teeth.

Recovery & aftercare

Typical timings. Your doctor will give you a personal plan.

First few days: Swelling, bruising and soreness are common and usually ease within a few days. Stick to soft food.
Healing: The implant fuses with the jawbone over around four months.
Final teeth: The crown, bridge or denture is fitted once healing is complete.

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 procedure 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 or inflammation of the gum around the implant (peri-implantitis), which can lead to the implant loosening or being lost.
An implant not fusing with the bone, which may need it removed and replaced later.
Damage to a nearby nerve, causing numbness or tingling in the lip, chin or tongue.
Sinus problems when implants are placed in the upper jaw.
There's no lifetime guarantee: implants need good cleaning and regular check-ups.

Frequently asked questions

How long do dental implants last?

There's no lifetime guarantee. How long they last depends largely on how well you clean them and whether you keep up regular check-ups with a dentist.

Who looks after my implants when I'm back in the UK?

Your own dentist can do routine check-ups and cleaning. Ask the clinic for your X-rays, treatment records and the implant brand. Repairs to treatment done abroad may not be available on the NHS.

Who pays if something needs fixing?

Ask the clinic about its guarantee and revision policy before you go, including who pays for any extra flights, hotel nights and remedial work.
