Dental implant treatment involves placing a titanium screw in the jawbone to replace the root of a lost tooth, and then fitting a porcelain or zirconia tooth on top of it. Because the implant needs to fuse with the bone, the process usually takes 2–4 months; the result is a permanent solution that provides chewing function and an appearance very close to those of a natural tooth.
Tooth loss is not just a cosmetic issue. Neighboring teeth drift toward the gap, the opposing tooth in the other jaw over-erupts, chewing forces shift onto the remaining teeth, and over time the jawbone in that area shrinks. Because an implant rebuilds the tooth starting from the root, it is a comprehensive solution that helps prevent this chain of problems.
An implant is a small, screw-shaped artificial root made of tissue-friendly titanium or zirconia. After it is placed in the jawbone, bone cells attach to the implant surface and surround it firmly. Once this fusion (osseointegration) is complete, a crown, bridge or prosthesis is attached to the implant.
At Atayeter Oral and Dental Health Clinic in Çayırova, implant planning is carried out using 3D imaging. Bone height and width, as well as the distance to important structures such as nerves and sinuses, are measured in advance to determine the length, diameter and angle of the implant.
Advantages of dental implant treatment
- No need to reshape healthy neighboring teeth
- Provides chewing strength and comfort close to that of natural teeth
- Slows jawbone loss and helps preserve facial contours
- Stabilizes removable dentures, resolving looseness and sore spots
- With proper care, can last for many years, often for a lifetime
Who is dental implant treatment suitable for?
Suitable for
- People who have lost a single tooth
- People missing several teeth who do not want a bridge
- Patients who have lost all their teeth and want fixed teeth
- People whose removable dentures are loose and uncomfortable
- Individuals whose jaw development is complete (usually over 18)
Points to consider
- Uncontrolled diabetes or serious cardiovascular disease
- Radiotherapy to the head and neck area or ongoing chemotherapy
- Intravenous bisphosphonate use (medication for bone loss)
- Heavy smoking (delays healing and increases the risk of failure)
- Pregnancy (treatment is postponed until after delivery)
Dental implant treatment methods and types
Single-tooth implant
One implant with one crown on top is placed for a single missing tooth. Neighboring teeth are not touched.
Implant-supported bridge
When several adjacent teeth are missing, a bridge can be planned on fewer implants instead of one implant per tooth.
Implant-supported full denture (All-on-4 / All-on-6)
In a completely toothless jaw, a fixed or removable prosthesis is placed on 4 or 6 implants.
Implants with bone grafting and sinus lift
If bone volume is insufficient, a suitable base for the implant is prepared by adding bone graft material or by raising the sinus floor in the upper jaw.
The dental implant treatment process step by step
Examination and 3D imaging
The bone structure is assessed with an intraoral examination and tomography, and your general health is reviewed.
Treatment plan
The number and position of implants, any additional procedures needed, the duration and the fee are explained to you in detail.
Implant placement
The implant is placed in the bone under local anesthesia. A single implant usually takes 20–40 minutes.
Healing period
The implant is given time to fuse with the bone. In the aesthetic zone, a temporary tooth can be used during this period.
Digital impression and permanent tooth
Once healing is complete, a digital impression is taken with an intraoral scanner, and a permanent zirconia or porcelain tooth is fitted.
Follow-up visits
The health of the implant is monitored with check-ups and professional cleaning every 6 months.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
| Stage | Approximate duration |
|---|---|
| Examination and planning | 1 session |
| Implant placement | 20–40 min (per implant) |
| Fusion with bone — lower jaw | About 2–3 months |
| Fusion with bone — upper jaw | About 3–4 months |
| Making the permanent tooth | 1–2 weeks (2–3 sessions) |
Durations are average values and may vary depending on your oral structure and any additional procedures needed.
What to watch out for after dental implant treatment
- Apply cold compresses to the outside of your cheek at intervals for the first 24 hours
- On the first day, avoid hot, hard and spicy foods; eat lukewarm, soft foods
- Do not smoke or drink alcohol for at least the first week
- Do not rinse your mouth for the first 24 hours; after that, use the mouthwash recommended by your dentist
- Stitches are usually removed within 7–10 days; do not miss your follow-up appointment
- Once the permanent tooth is fitted, make a habit of using dental floss and interdental brushes

What affects the cost of dental implant treatment in Çayırova?
The fee for dental implant treatment depends on the number and brand of implants used, whether additional procedures such as bone grafting or a sinus lift are needed, and the material of the tooth placed on the implant (zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal).
The exact fee is determined according to the treatment plan prepared after the examination and any necessary imaging, and it is clearly communicated to you before treatment begins. Quoting a price over the phone or online without an examination does not allow for accurate planning; we therefore recommend filling out the preliminary assessment form or visiting our clinic.

Frequently asked questions about Dental Implant Treatment
Is dental implant treatment painful?
Because the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, you will not feel pain during it. There may be mild pain and swelling for the next 2–3 days, which can usually be controlled easily with the pain relievers your dentist recommends.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene, avoiding smoking, and regular check-ups, implants can be used for many years, often for a lifetime. The crown on top, however, is a component that may need to be replaced over time.
Can everyone get dental implants?
Implants can be placed for most people whose jaw development is complete and whose general health is suitable. If there is not enough bone, implants can be made possible with procedures such as bone grafting or a sinus lift.
Can an implant be placed right after a tooth is extracted?
If there is no infection and there is enough bone, in suitable cases an implant can be placed in the same session as the extraction (immediate implant). The decision is made based on the examination and a CT scan.
When can I eat after getting an implant?
Once the anesthesia wears off, you can eat lukewarm, soft foods. During the first week, it is recommended that you avoid chewing hard foods on the implant side.
What is the difference between an implant and a bridge?
With a bridge, the healthy teeth on both sides of the gap are prepared (reshaped) and used as support. With an implant, the neighboring teeth are left untouched and bone loss is slowed.
Can people with diabetes get dental implants?
Implants can be placed for people with diabetes whose blood sugar is stable and well controlled. In uncontrolled diabetes, healing may be delayed, so blood sugar needs to be brought under control first.
