Dental Implant

Dental Implant procedures performed in our clinic help patients regain not only their missing teeth but also their comfort, healthy smile, and self-assurance. Titanium implants, designed to mimic the natural tooth root, biologically integrate with the jawbone and create a durable, long-lasting foundation.

Dental Implant treatment plans are personalized to resolve chewing difficulties, speech disorders, and facial aesthetic changes caused by tooth loss. In line with current technology, advanced treatment protocols, and our 2026 healthcare vision, we provide safe, comfortable, and modern implant solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, usually made of titanium, that is placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. These screw-shaped structures fuse with the jawbone and function like a natural tooth root, providing strong support for the prosthetic teeth placed on top.

Implant treatment is highly advantageous both aesthetically and functionally. It offers the closest appearance to natural teeth, increases chewing strength, improves speech, and helps preserve facial contours. Additionally, the fact that it can be applied without damaging adjacent teeth is one of the key features that distinguishes implants from other treatment options.

Dental implant treatment generally consists of several stages and is planned individually for each patient. The most suitable treatment process is determined by considering bone structure, general health condition, and aesthetic expectations.

How Is Dental Implant Treatment Performed?

In our clinic, dental implant treatment is carried out according to a specific plan and systematic process. Thanks to this disciplined approach, the treatment process progresses safely, and our patients know exactly what to expect at every stage. Implant procedures are personalized and performed using modern technology.

The implant treatment process generally includes the following stages:

• Detailed oral examination and radiological imaging (panoramic X-ray, 3D tomography)
• Surgical planning according to the jawbone structure
• Creation of a treatment schedule and appointment planning
• Placement of the implant into the jawbone under local anesthesia
• Suturing when necessary and application of temporary prostheses
• Waiting for the osseointegration process for the implant to fuse with the bone
• Placement of healing abutments and aesthetic shaping of the gums
• Digital impressions and prosthetic try-ins
• Placement of permanent prosthetic teeth
• Planning regular follow-up and control appointments

Throughout this process, patient comfort is prioritized, and all procedures are performed under sterile and safe conditions.

Who Can Have Dental Implants?

Any individual with good general health and completed jawbone development may be a suitable candidate for dental implant treatment. Before treatment, the patient’s oral and dental health is evaluated in detail, and a personalized roadmap is created.

In patients with controlled diabetes or heart conditions, implant treatment can be safely performed in consultation with relevant medical specialists. However, in patients actively undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, treatment completion is awaited due to potential effects on the immune system and healing process.

Excessive smoking is one of the most important factors negatively affecting implant success. Smoking slows wound healing and can compromise the fusion process between the bone and the implant. Therefore, our patients are expected to quit smoking or significantly reduce its use, especially during the critical pre- and post-operative periods.

All these precautions are crucial to ensure long-term implant success and favorable treatment outcomes.

What Are the Types of Implant Treatments?

Dental implant treatments are applied using different methods based on each patient’s oral structure, jawbone density, extent of tooth loss, and aesthetic expectations. Thanks to advances in implant technology, permanent and comfortable solutions are now available even for patients with insufficient bone or complete tooth loss.

All-on-4 Implant Treatment

The All-on-4 implant technique is a modern and effective treatment method developed for patients with complete tooth loss. In this method, a fixed prosthesis is applied using only four implants placed in one jaw. Since the implants in the posterior region are positioned at special angles, strong support can be achieved even in cases with insufficient bone volume.

One of the most important advantages of All-on-4 treatment is that it allows patients to achieve functional and aesthetic teeth in a short time with fewer implants. Due to its relatively short treatment duration, reduced surgical procedures, and cost advantage, it is preferred by many patients. The possibility of same-day fixed teeth application is another factor that makes this method stand out.

Below are the most commonly applied implant treatment types and the situations in which they are preferred.

Endosteal (Intraosseous) Implant

Endosteal implants are the most commonly used type of implant in dental implant treatments. These implants are placed directly into the jawbone and are usually designed in screw or cylindrical form. They biologically integrate with the bone to form a strong and long-lasting foundation.

Endosteal implants have a wide range of applications, from single-tooth loss to multiple missing teeth. They provide reliable results both aesthetically and functionally and are the first-choice implant type for patients with suitable jawbone structure.

Subperiosteal Implant

Subperiosteal implants are specially designed implant systems placed on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum tissue. They are preferred in cases where bone volume is severely insufficient and bone grafting is not possible.

These implants are generally custom-made for the patient and allow the prosthesis to be fixed over the gums. Due to limited surgical intervention and no direct bone manipulation, they offer a comfortable alternative for selected patient groups. They are an effective solution for improving chewing function and ensuring prosthesis stability.

How Is Dental Implant Treatment Performed?

Dental implant treatment is planned and carried out in our clinic within a specific system and discipline. This approach ensures that the treatment process progresses in a controlled manner while allowing our patients to clearly understand what they will encounter at each stage. The process begins with personalized planning and is completed with the goal of long-term success.

The stages of implant treatment generally proceed as follows:

• First, the patient’s oral, dental, and jaw structure is evaluated through a detailed clinical examination. When necessary, panoramic X-rays and three-dimensional radiological imaging are taken to analyze the bone structure.
• Based on the data obtained, surgical planning is performed and an appropriate appointment is scheduled for the implant procedure.
• On the day of the procedure, the implants are carefully placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The patient does not feel pain during the procedure.
• After the implant is placed, sutures are applied when necessary, and temporary prostheses may be used during the healing period.
• The osseointegration process is awaited to allow the implant to fuse with the jawbone. This period is of critical importance for the longevity of the implant.
• Once the fusion between the bone and the implant is complete, healing abutments are placed to shape the gum tissue into a natural form.
• Intraoral measurements are taken using digital impression systems, and prosthetic try-ins are performed.
• In the final stage, permanent teeth are placed on the implant, and a regular follow-up and control program is created specifically for the patient.

Thanks to this planned process, permanent results are achieved that provide a natural tooth feel both aesthetically and functionally.

Factors Affecting Implant Success

The long-term success of implant treatment is not limited solely to the surgical procedure. Many different factors must be evaluated together. In our clinic, all of these elements are meticulously controlled during treatment planning.

The main factors that directly affect implant success are as follows:

• The quality of the implant brand used, its biocompatible structure, and surface technology
• The experience of the surgical team performing the procedure and their mastery of jaw anatomy
• Compliance of sterilization conditions with international standards in the clinical environment where the procedure is performed
• The patient’s bone density, bone quality, and overall systemic health condition
• Smoking habits and the level of care the patient shows for oral hygiene
• Proper planning and implementation of the bite (occlusion) during the prosthetic phase
• Regular post-treatment follow-up appointments without interruption

Proper management of these factors ensures healthy integration of the implant with the bone and allows it to be used without problems for many years. Our goal at our clinic is not only to place implants, but to provide permanent and reliable results.

What Are Implant Brands?

The implant brand used in dental implant treatment is of great importance in terms of treatment success, implant lifespan, and long-term patient satisfaction. Although implant technologies are highly advanced today, each brand differs in material quality, surface technology, design features, and clinical success rates.

For this reason, implant brand selection should be carried out meticulously according to the patient’s bone structure, intraoral condition, aesthetic expectations, and treatment plan. Some of the implant brands that are widely used worldwide and have proven clinical success include:

Things to Consider Before and After Implant Treatment

In order to achieve maximum success from dental implant treatment, certain important rules must be followed both before and after the procedure. The care shown during this process directly affects the healthy integration of the implant with the bone and its long-term, trouble-free use.

Things to Consider Before Implant Treatment

Before starting implant treatment, evaluating the patient’s general health condition is of great importance. Especially chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, or immune system–related disorders must be kept under control. Since such conditions may affect the healing process of the implant, necessary medical precautions should be planned prior to treatment.

Smoking is one of the most important factors that negatively affects implant success. Nicotine reduces blood circulation, slows tissue healing, and puts the bone integration process of the implant at risk. For this reason, quitting smoking or at least significantly reducing it before implant treatment is recommended.

In addition, maintaining good oral hygiene before the procedure, treating any existing gum diseases, and following all preparation instructions given by the dentist contribute to a smooth and successful treatment process.

Things to Consider After Implant Treatment

The first days after implant placement are critical for the healing process. During this period, avoiding contact with the implant area is very important to reduce the risk of infection. Pressure should not be applied to the implant site with the tongue, fingers, or hard foods.

For the first 3 days after implant placement, the mouth should not be rinsed and mouthwash should not be used. Protecting the blood clot during this period is essential for healthy healing. During the first week, tobacco and alcohol use should be strictly avoided, and soft, warm, and liquid-based foods should be preferred.

In the first days after surgery, sports, heavy physical activities, hot showers, and sudden movements should be avoided. In addition, not remaining in a completely lying position during the first 2 hours after surgery helps reduce the risk of bleeding and swelling.

Medications prescribed by the doctor should be taken regularly, and follow-up appointments should not be neglected.

Post-Implant Healing Process

The healing process after implant treatment may vary depending on many factors such as the patient’s general health condition, jawbone density, and the level of care given to oral hygiene. Generally, after the implant is placed, a biological integration process called “osseointegration” begins between the implant and the jawbone. This process usually takes between 3 and 6 months.

During this period, excessive load should not be placed on the implant, and hard, very hot, or very cold foods should be avoided. Mild swelling, bruising, or sensitivity in the first few days is considered normal. These symptoms usually subside in a short time with cold applications recommended by the dentist.

Regular oral care, correct use of prescribed medications, and limiting smoking and alcohol consumption both accelerate the healing process and contribute to the long lifespan of the implant.

Factors Determining Implant Prices

When researching dental implant prices, the wide price ranges encountered can be confusing. The main reasons for these differences include the implant brand used, the level of difficulty of the surgical procedure, and the material of the prosthesis to be placed on the implant.

Dental implant treatment is largely dependent on imported products. Exchange rates, global raw material costs, and technological developments directly affect prices. At Leila Medical, transparency is the basis of our pricing process, and no surprise additional costs are reflected to our patients throughout the treatment process.

When evaluating implant treatment, it should not be considered a short-term expense but rather a long-term health investment. While methods such as bridges may require cutting healthy teeth, implant treatment preserves oral health without damaging adjacent teeth and helps prevent recurring treatment costs in the long term.

Implant Prices 2026

Implant prices in 2026 may vary depending on the quality of the preferred implant brand, surface technology, production process, and the characteristics of the materials used. In addition, supplementary surgical procedures, personalized planning, and the scope of clinical services provided to the patient are also important factors affecting pricing.

Since each patient’s jaw structure, tooth loss condition, and treatment needs are different, the most accurate pricing for implant treatment is determined after a detailed examination and personalized treatment planning. In terms of long-term use, aesthetic appearance, and chewing comfort, implant treatment is a valuable investment in the future.
