Dental Implants
Dental implant treatment involves surgically placing a titanium implant into the jawbone, which serves as a foundation for zirconium or ceramic crowns or full prosthetic restorations. This procedure is ideal for patients with single, multiple, or complete tooth loss, effectively restoring both aesthetics and functionality. At Happy Dent Turkey, patients undergoing implant treatment receive a thorough clinical examination, including detailed X-ray imaging and a comprehensive assessment by our expert dentists to ensure a personalized and precise treatment plan.
The treatment phase begins after collecting pre-treatment photographs, a detailed medical history, and conducting a thorough evaluation to determine the most suitable approach for implant placement. At Happy Dent Turkey, we use only internationally approved, high-quality dental implants that meet global standards and offer one of the highest success rates in implant dentistry. Every aspect of your procedure is meticulously planned by our specialist maxillofacial surgeons, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and virtually painless experience.
The dental implant procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free experience. At Happy Dent Turkey, our dedicated assistant staff will accompany you before, during, and after your treatment, taking care of all your needs throughout the process. They will monitor your post-operative care, including prescribed medications and dentist recommendations, to ensure a smooth recovery. Meanwhile, our patient relations team will handle all the logistics—scheduling your appointments, organizing VIP transfers, and managing every detail of your dental journey. All you need to do is relax and enjoy your stay in Turkey.
Everything You Should Know Before Treatment
Dental Implants Treatment
Dental implants are a modern, reliable solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth, offering a permanent, comfortable, and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures and bridges. If you’re considering implant treatment, it’s important to understand the process, its benefits, and what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Using a screw-like mechanism, the implant acts as a strong and stable base for an artificial tooth, such as a crown, bridge, or even a full denture—depending on the extent of tooth loss.
Once inserted, the implant undergoes a process called osseointegration, where it naturally fuses with the bone. This integration ensures long-term stability, allowing the prosthetic tooth to function and feel just like a natural one.
Unlike traditional removable dentures or bridges, implants are fixed, secure, and offer a much more natural appearance—enhancing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your smile.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Here are some of the key benefits of choosing dental implants:
Natural Appearance and Comfort
Dental implants are designed to look and feel like real teeth, offering a seamless, confident smile. Unlike removable dentures, they stay securely in place—so you can eat, speak, and smile freely without fear of slipping or discomfort.Long-Lasting Durability
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last 10–20 years, and in many cases, a lifetime. This makes them a cost-effective, long-term investment compared to alternatives that require frequent replacement.Improved Oral Health and Bone Preservation
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area begins to shrink. Implants act like natural roots, stimulating the bone and preventing bone resorption. This helps maintain facial structure and avoids the “sunken” look that can occur with long-term tooth loss.Enhanced Functionality
Dental implants restore full chewing power, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods—from crunchy apples to steaks—without discomfort. You’ll also benefit from improved speech clarity and overall mouth function.

Dental implants can be placed in patients with sufficient jawbone density, which is determined through 2D panoramic X-rays and 3D tomography scans by our expert oral surgeons at Happy Dent Turkey. For patients with insufficient bone volume, we offer bone grafting procedures to make implantation possible. As long as the patient is in good general health and not undergoing treatments that may interfere with healing, implants can be a safe and effective solution.
At Happy Dent Turkey, we prioritize quality, safety, and long-term success. That’s why we work with the Straumann Group, a global leader in premium dental implant systems. All treatment plans are created collaboratively between our maxillofacial surgeons and prosthetic specialists, ensuring that each implant is both functionally and aesthetically customized to the patient’s needs.
After a comprehensive assessment, dental implant surgery is carried out in our specially prepared treatment rooms, equipped with the highest hygiene standards. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes around 15 minutes per implant, making it quick, efficient, and virtually painless.
Following your procedure, one of our surgically trained dental assistants will be with you every step of the way, from pre-treatment guidance to post-op care. After surgery, it’s important to:
Avoid eating for at least 2 hours
Refrain from consuming hot or cold foods/drinks on the same day
Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling
Follow all prescribed medications and instructions from your dentist
Our patient care team will stay in close contact with you, whether you’re in the clinic or back at your hotel.
No. Dental implants are placed under local anaesthesia, meaning you will not feel pain during the procedure. After treatment, any mild discomfort can be easily managed with Paracetamol or Ibuprofen, prescribed by our dental specialists.
Implant aftercare is crucial for long-term success. Key tips include:
Brush and floss daily using proper technique
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush
Attend regular dental check-ups
Follow your dentist’s specific care instructions
Routine maintenance helps prevent complications and extends the life of your implants.
The implant process usually involves two main stages:
Surgical Stage: Implants are placed and left to integrate with the jawbone for 2–3 months.
Prosthetic Stage: Once osseointegration is complete, your custom-made crowns or prostheses are attached.
Before treatment begins, our patient relations team will collect your X-rays and photos and forward them to our specialists to create a personalized treatment plan. We also assist with:
Hotel reservations
Airport transfers
Appointment scheduling
After the first stage is completed, a follow-up visit will be arranged in 2–3 months to finalize your treatment and complete your new smile.
If your jawbone density is low, our specialists may recommend additional procedures such as:
Bone grafting
Sinus lifting
Membrane application
These techniques enhance bone structure, making dental implants possible even in challenging cases.
Yes. Diabetes does not automatically disqualify you from implant treatment. If your HbA1c levels are within an acceptable range and you maintain good oral hygiene, implants can be placed safely, just as they would be for non-diabetic patients. Our team will assess your health status through pre-treatment blood tests to ensure eligibility.
Not at all. Within about one week post-surgery, once swelling and healing have begun, our surgeons may approve the placement of temporary prosthetics. These help maintain:
Aesthetic appearance
Speech clarity
Day-to-day functionality
Temporary prostheses or bridges are especially helpful for patients missing multiple teeth. However, solid foods should be avoided until the permanent prosthetics are in place and fully stabilized.
