Dental Implants in Istanbul, Turkey
A dental implant is a small post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. The crown is attached after the implant has healed, so implant plans commonly involve two visits. Your dentist confirms the timing after your examination.
Single, Multiple, or Full-Arch
Single Tooth
One implant with one crown replaces a single missing tooth.
Several Teeth
Implants can support individual crowns or a bridge across several missing teeth.
Full Arch
A fixed bridge on four or six implants. See our All-on-4 and All-on-6 guide.
Before Planning
A 3D scan shows bone volume and important structures. Gum health is checked, and bone grafting or a sinus lift may be needed before or during implant placement. Your dentist explains what your case requires.
