Dental Implants from DENTAGLOBAL Dental Clinic
Losing one or more teeth changes far more than your smile. It affects how you chew, how your jawbone is stimulated over time, and how confident you feel speaking or laughing in public. At DENTAGLOBAL Dental Clinic in Izmir, dental implants are one of our most requested treatments because they replace both the visible tooth and the root beneath it, giving patients a fixed, natural-feeling alternative to removable dentures or the gap left by a missing tooth.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it fuses with the surrounding bone through a natural process called osseointegration, a custom-made crown, bridge or denture is fitted on top. Titanium is used because it is exceptionally biocompatible: it forms a close cellular bond with living bone, so a well-placed implant can look, feel and function much like your own tooth, without relying on neighbouring teeth for support the way a conventional bridge does.
Implants can replace a single missing tooth, several teeth in a row, or, combined with fixed bridges, a full arch. If you are missing most or all of your teeth in one jaw, you may be a better fit for our All-on-4 / All-on-6 full-arch solution rather than individual implants.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults in reasonable general health, with enough jawbone to anchor an implant, are suitable candidates. During your consultation and digital scan, our clinical team checks for the following before recommending treatment:
- Sufficient healthy jawbone volume, or suitability for a bone graft if bone has been lost to gum disease or long-term tooth loss
- Healthy gums, free of active periodontal disease
- No uncontrolled medical conditions, such as unmanaged diabetes, that could slow healing
- Realistic expectations about treatment time and the healing period between visits
Smokers and patients who grind their teeth heavily can often still be treated, but may need extra planning or a protective night guard; our dentists will discuss this with you directly.
The Dental Implant Process at DENTAGLOBAL, Step by Step
- Free consultation and photo review. Send us your dental photos and any recent X-rays. A patient advisor and our clinical team review your case and provide an initial treatment outline and price estimate, with no obligation.
- Arrival, examination and 3D/CBCT scan. On arrival in Izmir, you receive a full oral examination plus digital and CBCT imaging so we can measure your bone precisely and plan implant position in advance.
- Implant placement. The titanium implant is placed under local anaesthetic, with sedation available for anxious patients. Most placements are completed in a single appointment.
- Healing and osseointegration. The implant fuses with your jawbone over roughly two to six months. You will usually have a temporary tooth during this period so you are never left with a visible gap.
- Abutment and permanent restoration. Once healing is confirmed, we fit your permanent, custom-shaded crown or bridge during a second visit to Izmir.
- Aftercare and long-term follow-up. You leave with a written aftercare plan and continued contact with your patient advisor by phone or WhatsApp.
Materials and Implant Systems We Use
Titanium remains the international standard in implant dentistry because of its exceptional biocompatibility, and it is what we use for every implant case at DENTAGLOBAL. Our clinical team works to the same material standards used by clinics across the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Japan and the USA. The specific implant system recommended for your case, along with expected healing times, is confirmed in your personal written treatment plan. If you have a known metal allergy or a preference for a particular implant brand, let your patient advisor know before your consultation so it can be taken into account.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
Every implant plan is different. The final price depends on how many teeth need replacing, whether a bone graft is required, and which restoration is used, so we do not publish one fixed number for every patient. What we can say with confidence, based on our own patient data, is that visitors travelling from the UK and the rest of Europe typically save in the region of 50 to 70 percent compared to home-country pricing for equivalent treatment, even once flights, accommodation and the in-country stay are included.
For context on full-arch pricing, our All-on-4 Turkey cost guide sets out typical Turkey pricing of roughly three thousand to seven thousand pounds per arch, depending on case complexity and materials. The most accurate way to find out your own cost is a free, no-obligation quote: send us your dental photos and any recent X-rays and a patient advisor will reply with a written treatment plan and price.
Our Dental Implant Guarantee
We provide a written guarantee on our treatments: 10 years to lifetime cover on implants and fixed-detachable implant cases, and 3 years on the crowns, bridges and veneers fitted above them (2 years on full and partial dentures, 1 year on fillings). Your patient advisor can send you the full written guarantee terms before you travel, so you know exactly what is covered and for how long.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients return to normal light activity within a few days of implant placement, with some swelling or tenderness that settles within a week. Good oral hygiene, brushing twice a day and attending regular professional cleanings, is the single biggest factor in how long an implant lasts once it has healed. Every patient leaves with a written aftercare plan, and our team stays in touch by phone or WhatsApp after you return home.
Aftercare Support After You Return to the UK
Your treatment does not end when you fly home. Every DENTAGLOBAL patient leaves with a written aftercare plan and a written guarantee — 10 years to lifetime cover on implants and fixed-detachable implant cases, and 3 years on crowns, bridges and veneers. Our patient coordination team stays reachable by phone, email and WhatsApp after you return, and aftercare support is available through DENTAGLOBAL partner services in selected countries. If anything needs attention that falls under your guarantee, contact your patient advisor first: your case is reviewed by the clinician who treated you before any next step is agreed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
How long does the whole dental implant process take?
Most implant cases need two visits to Izmir. The first covers assessment, any extractions and implant placement and usually lasts a few days. After two to six months of healing, you return for a shorter second visit to fit the permanent restoration.
Is getting a dental implant painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and sedation is available. Most patients describe mild discomfort afterwards, similar to a tooth extraction, which is manageable with standard pain relief.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last a lifetime. This is why our written guarantee on implants runs for 10 years to lifetime, longer than the guarantee period for crowns, bridges or veneers.
What happens if I do not have enough jawbone?
A bone graft can often rebuild enough volume to support an implant. In more advanced cases of bone loss, longer zygomatic implants may be considered. Your dentist will assess this from your CBCT scan and explain your options before any treatment is agreed.
How much can I save having implants in Turkey compared to the UK?
Based on our patient data, most UK and European patients save in the region of 50 to 70 percent compared to home-country pricing for equivalent treatment, even after including travel and accommodation.
What is the difference between a dental implant and a dental bridge?
An implant replaces the tooth root as well as the crown and stands independently in the jawbone. A bridge replaces only the visible tooth and relies on the teeth either side for support.
