Precise Implant Planning With Trusted Global Implant Brands in Istanbul
A dental implant is a titanium or zirconia screw placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, topped by an abutment and a crown. Dental implants in Turkey follow a two-visit protocol over 3 to 6 months: placement on the first trip, then a 3 to 6 month healing period for osseointegration (implant and bone integration), then the crown on the second trip.
Dental implants replace missing teeth by anchoring an artificial root directly into the jawbone, rather than resting on the gum like a denture or grinding down neighbouring teeth like a bridge. This gives a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture, and helps prevent the jawbone loss that follows tooth loss. At Maltepe Dental Clinic, implants are placed with 3D CBCT planning and precise surgery methods so the position supports the final fixed prosthesis from the start.
Dental implants in Turkey typically cost between €300 and €900 per implant, depending on the implant brand and the complexity of the case — a fraction of UK, US, German or French prices for the same brands. At Maltepe Dental Clinic, the exact price depends on the implant system you choose, from more affordable US or German-brand implants to premium Straumann Roxolid, with a 10-year guarantee on implant treatment. You can see the full, itemised prices on our dental treatment price list.
MDC uses only globally recognised implant brands with worldwide distribution support, so affordability does not mean compromising on the quality or longevity of your treatment.
For the same implant brand, prices in Turkey are a fraction of Western prices — because clinic overheads, laboratory wages and running costs are lower, not because the implant or protocol differs. Typical market ranges below, from a single implant to a full arch. The Turkey full-arch ranges are from Maltepe Dental Clinic’s own full-mouth implants guide. For MDC’s exact prices, see the price list.
| Treatment | 🇹🇷 Turkey | 🇬🇧 UK | 🇺🇸 USA | 🇩🇪 / 🇫🇷 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single implant (per tooth) | €300 – €900 | £2,000 – £3,500 | $3,000 – $5,000 | €1,800 – €3,000 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | €2,800 – €6,000 | £12,000 – £18,000 | $19,000 – $30,000 | €10,000 – €18,000 |
| All-on-6 (per arch) | €3,500 – €8,000 | £14,000 – £20,000 | $24,000 – $38,000 | €12,000 – €20,000 |
Choosing Turkey saves up to 75% versus the same treatment in the UK, US, Germany or France, using the same premium implant brands. Ranges are indicative market figures; MDC’s own prices are itemised on the price list, and additional procedures (bone grafting, sinus lift) are quoted separately, never hidden in a single headline figure.
MDC gives you an itemised plan after 3D imaging, so you see exactly what each stage costs before you travel. Additional procedures some patients need – such as bone grafting or sinus lift – are listed separately on the price list, not hidden in a single headline figure.
Basic dental insurance rarely covers implants. MDC accepts major cards, bank transfers and cash in several currencies, and the guarantee policy explains what the implant guarantee covers.
The before and after results below show real Maltepe Dental Clinic patients treated with Straumann implants in Istanbul, from single missing teeth to full-arch All-on-4 and All-on-6 cases. Each case was planned with 3D CBCT imaging and guided surgery, and restored with crowns finished in the clinic’s in-house laboratory.
Maltepe Dental Clinic combines specialist implantologists, in-house laboratory restoration, and 20+ years of experience in Istanbul, with implant positions planned around the final fixed prosthesis rather than placed in isolation. Almost every case uses 3D CBCT imaging for precise planning and placement.
Yes. UK implant patients begin with a consultation at MDC’s London clinic, located at 92 Essex Road, London N1 8LU, without needing to travel first. Because implants require a two-visit protocol with a 3- to 6-month healing gap between placement and the final crown, the London clinic is more important here than for a single-trip treatment: your planning occurs in London, both surgical stages take place in Istanbul, and your aftercare and reviews return to London. Primary treatment is carried out only in Istanbul, where the surgical team and in-house laboratory are based. You can read how the pathway works on the London clinic page.
The dentists and medical team behind your implants at Maltepe Dental Clinic specialise in implantology, periodontology, and aesthetic dentistry. The team is led by Chief Dentist Dr. Yusuf Ilhan, registered with the UK General Dental Council (GDC 304923), and includes Dr. Alper Gürhan, a member of the American Dental Association (ADA). Dr. Orhan Ofluoğlu specialises in periodontology and implantology. Each implant case is planned by the treating surgeon and restored with the in-house laboratory.

Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
They don’t require altering adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Eliminate the discomfort and insecurity of removable dentures.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last many years, and the fixture itself often lasts far longer than a bridge or denture.

Patients often focus only on the implant brand, but there are three equally critical elements in implant treatment:
Here is a case where the patient was unable to find a cure with her local dentists, so she visited our London clinic for a consultation and our Istanbul clinic for treatment.
Some patients need a supporting procedure before or alongside implant placement, confirmed at your 3D imaging consultation. The most common are bone grafting and sinus lift, which rebuild bone where it has been lost, so the implant has a stable foundation.
Dental implants are carried out all over the world, and they are one of the most effective dental treatments that help restore missing teeth. Not surprisingly, many questions are popping up in patients’ minds. In this section, some of the most frequently asked questions are answered for you if you are looking for Dental implants in Turkey.
Before dental implant surgery, you’ll have a full medical and dental evaluation, along with X-rays or a 3D CT scan. You may be advised to adjust certain medications, stop smoking and alcohol before surgery, and plan for soft foods for the first week.
With good care, implants can last many years; systematic reviews report ~94.6% survival at 10 years (Moraschini 2015)
After placement, the implant fuses with your jawbone through osseointegration over about 3–6 months, creating a stable anchor that behaves like a natural root. Once healed, an abutment and crown, or an implant-supported bridge, is attached, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence while maintaining your facial structure.
They are usually as follows:
It generally requires two visits: one for implant placement and the second for crown placement on the implants.
On your first visit, we take panoramic and 3D CT scan X-rays, physically examine the teeth, and finalize the treatment plan. Then, we place the implants and a temporary denture (if eligible and necessary). Depending on additional treatment needs (such as sinus lifting or bone grafting), the entire first phase may take between 2 and 15 days.
Next, we wait for the healing process, which usually takes around 3–6 months. We will inform you exactly how long the waiting period will be before your next visit.
Finally, during the last visit, we place the crowns. Depending on the number of crowns being placed, this stage typically takes between 3–10 working days to complete the treatment.
Possible “hidden” or additional costs can include 3D imaging (CBCT scans), extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifts, temporary/provisional teeth, upgraded prosthetic options (such as zirconia frameworks or titanium bars), travel and accommodation for international patients. At Maltepe Dental Clinic, we provide clear, itemised treatment plans and maintain a dedicated dental treatment price list, so you know exactly what is included and there are no financial surprises.

Our dental treatments in Turkey cost up to 75% less than in Europe or North America — without compromising quality. This is because living and labor costs, including dentists’ wages, are lower; rents and utilities are more affordable; and tax rates for dental clinics in Turkey are significantly lower. Additionally, dentists in some countries, such as the USA, have to charge more to their patients to repay their dentistry school student loans. In Turkey, most dentists graduate from government-funded schools and receive their education free of charge.
Basic dental insurances don’t typically cover the cost of a dental implant as it is considered to be a cosmetic procedure.
Most patients find that dental implants feel completely natural within 6 to 12 weeks after surgery, once the bone and tissue have fully adapted.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia; most patients feel little pain during the procedure and mild discomfort for 1-2 days afterwards
Most patients experience mild discomfort for 1–2 days. If bone or tissue surgery is involved, slight pain or tenderness may last up to a week before fully subsiding.
Dental implants offer natural-looking aesthetics and strong chewing function. They help preserve the jawbone and do not require grinding healthy teeth, unlike dental bridges. Implants also improve speech clarity and taste, as they do not cover the palate. In addition, they provide long-term value, often lasting decades with proper care, unlike many dentures and bridges that require frequent replacement.
Possible risks include infection (peri-implantitis), nerve damage, implant failure, sinus complications in the upper jaw, gum recession, and mechanical issues such as abutment loosening or chipped crowns. Most complications are rare and can be minimized with careful planning, good oral hygiene, and follow-up care.
It depends on the patient’s needs and expectations as well as on the budget. Some of the best dental implant brands listed by Maltepe Dental Clinic are:
Dental implants can last many years with proper care and check-ups.
Depending on your dental needs, alternatives may include:
We use only FDA-approved, clinically proven dental implant brands — Straumann Roxolid (Switzerland), Anyridge by Megagen (South Korea), Hiossen (USA), and ICX (Germany). These globally recognized brands ensure long-lasting, safe, and high-quality implant results.
Systematic reviews report 10-year implant survival around 94.6% (Moraschini et al., 2015)
Ideal candidates have sufficient bone density, healthy gums, stable medical conditions, and good oral hygiene. There is no strict upper age limit; dental implants for seniors are common when health is stable. Patients with gum disease or severe bone loss may need periodontal treatment or bone grafting before other treatments.
Yes. We provide a manufacturer fixture warranty + 10-year treatment guarantee. To keep your guarantee valid, you must maintain good oral hygiene, follow post-treatment instructions, attend annual dental check-ups and professional cleanings, and care for your temporary dentures as advised. If you experience pain or discomfort, contact our dental clinic in Istanbul or London immediately.
For the implant procedure, we recommend you stay at least 3 days in Turkey — the operation is done on Day 1, and final checks are completed on Day 3 before you fly home. We use resorbable stitches, which dissolve within 2–6 weeks. Stitches can also be removed by any local dentist after one week. For the second visit (after 3–6 months of healing), you’ll return for crown placement, which usually takes 3–10 working days, depending on how many crowns are needed.
Most healthy individuals with sufficient bone density are candidates. Even if you have bone loss, procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts can make you eligible. A consultation will determine your suitability.
Both options replace missing teeth effectively, but dental implants are usually the better choice. Unlike bridges, implants don’t require filing down healthy neighboring teeth and preserve your natural bone. If your bone structure is suitable, implant treatment is the most durable and natural-looking solution.
After surgery, you’ll follow a soft diet for several days and use prescribed or recommended mouth rinses. Long term, implants need twice-daily brushing, implant-specific floss or water flossers, and professional cleanings every 6 months (or as advised). Strict hygiene helps prevent peri-implantitis and protects the bone around the implants.
When fully healed, dental implants feel very similar to natural teeth in daily life. Because implants lack internal nerves, ultra-fine sensations (like biting on very small seeds) may feel slightly different, but chewing, speaking, and pronunciation (sounds like “s,” “sh,” “ch”) generally feel normal and comfortable.
A healthy implant that has integrated with the bone should remain fixed and silent. If you notice movement, persistent pain, or clicking sounds, it may indicate loosening, bite misalignment, or issues with the abutment or crown.
The most common types include endosteal implants (standard screws placed in the jawbone), subperiosteal implants (on top of the bone under the gum), zygomatic implants (anchored in the cheekbone), All-on-4 / All-on-6 / All-on-8 full-arch systems, mini dental implants, zirconia implants, and immediate-load (same-day) implants. Each option suits different bone conditions, aesthetic goals, and treatment plans.
Immediate-load implants and same-day teeth are safe only when bone density, primary stability, and gum health are sufficient. Our implant brands and models are carefully selected by our surgeon, and immediate loading is considered only after primary stability has been clinically confirmed.
Patients with active gum disease, infection, or inadequate bone quality usually require a traditional healing phase of 2–6 months before the implant is loaded.
Please inform us in advance about any routine medications you are taking before your arrival in Turkey. You should never stop or change blood thinner medications on your own. Any adjustments, if necessary, must be made under the guidance of your physician, in coordination with the recommendations of our surgeon.
Your health and safety are our top priorities, and we aim to perform all surgical procedures with minimal risk. Due to potential and unforeseen health risks associated with sedation, our clinic does not offer sedation for dental implant procedures. Instead, treatments are carried out safely and comfortably using local anesthesia.
Active gum disease must be treated before placing dental implants. Infected gums weaken the bone and increase the risk of implant failure. Once your periodontal health is stabilized, implants can often be placed safely with a tailored treatment plan.
The implant itself, made of titanium or zirconia, does not get cavities. However, the surrounding gums and bone can become inflamed if plaque builds up, leading to peri-implantitis and potential bone loss. So even though implants don’t decay, you must care for them as carefully as – or more than – natural teeth.
Leaving gaps can lead to tooth drifting, progressive jawbone resorption, changes in bite, increased risk of gum disease, and a prematurely aged facial appearance. Over time, this makes future implant or prosthetic treatments more complex, invasive, and costly.
Dentures are removable prosthetics. Compared with dentures, dental implants offer superior stability, stronger chewing function, and better jawbone preservation, without slipping or the need for adhesives.
Look for a clinic with experienced implant surgeons, digital planning (such as 3D CT Scan), recognized implant brands, and transparent pricing and warranties. Independent reviews, before-and-after cases, and clear treatment explanations are also crucial. At Maltepe Dental Clinic, we combine advanced technology, strict sterilization, and personalized follow-up for international patients.
Turkey is a leading destination for dental implants, offering savings of around 60–70% versus many Western countries while using the same premium brands and CAD/CAM technology. As Maltepe Dental Clinic, we provide modern facilities, multi-lingual teams, and coordinated services for dental tourism, from treatment planning to aftercare.
