Most adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone can have implants. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and bone loss need extra planning. The dentist confirms your suitability after a clinical exam and a 3D scan (CBCT).
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last for many years. Smoking, gum disease and teeth grinding can shorten their life, so aftercare matters as much as the surgery.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards are common and are usually managed with ordinary pain relief.
Treatment and Travel
What to expect when you travel to Istanbul for implant treatment.
For implant placement, plan on about 3–5 days on the first trip. Final crowns are usually fitted on a second trip after the implants heal, often 3–6 months later. Immediate-loading cases can differ; your plan is confirmed after the exam.
Yes. Send a recent panoramic X-ray or clear photos of your teeth on WhatsApp. You will receive a preliminary plan; the final plan is confirmed after the clinical exam and CBCT in Istanbul.
Choose soft, cool foods for the first days, avoid chewing on the surgical area, and avoid smoking and alcohol while the area heals. You will receive written instructions before you leave the clinic.
You can send photos and questions on WhatsApp, and the team will advise you. Contact us or a local dentist promptly if you notice severe pain, persistent bleeding, swelling that gets worse or fever.
All-on-4 fixes a full arch of teeth on four implants, often avoiding bone grafting. It suits many patients missing most or all teeth in a jaw; the dentist decides after reviewing your CBCT scan.
