Dental implants in Turkey have become one of the most popular and reliable solutions for patients who want to replace missing teeth with a permanent, natural-looking option. At VDS Dental in Istanbul, we combine internationally approved implant systems, advanced 3D imaging technology and an experienced surgical team to deliver safe, predictable and long-lasting results. Whether you have a single missing tooth, several gaps or need a full-mouth restoration, our clinic offers customised treatment plans designed around your needs, budget and travel schedule.
One of the biggest advantages of choosing dental implants in Turkey is the cost–quality balance. Thanks to lower operational costs and a high volume of treatments, VDS Dental is able to offer premium titanium and zirconia implants at up to 70% lower prices compared to the UK, Europe or the USA, without compromising on materials or clinical standards. All treatments are planned by experienced implant dentists who follow evidence-based protocols and international guidelines for sterilisation and patient safety.
Why Choose Dental Implants at VDS Dental?
A dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth root made of biocompatible titanium or zirconia. It is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone (osseointegration) and provides a stable foundation for a crown, bridge or full-arch prosthesis. Compared to dentures or traditional bridges, implants are more stable, more comfortable and much closer to natural teeth in terms of function and appearance.
- Natural look and feel: implants mimic real tooth roots and support highly aesthetic crowns.
- Preservation of jawbone: they stimulate the bone and help prevent bone loss and facial collapse.
- No damage to neighbouring teeth: unlike bridges, healthy teeth do not need to be filed down.
- Long-term solution: with proper care, implants can last decades or even a lifetime.
- Improved chewing and speech: fixed teeth allow you to eat and speak with confidence.
At VDS Dental, every implant case starts with a detailed digital assessment. We use panoramic X-rays and, when necessary, CBCT scans to evaluate bone volume, density and anatomical structures such as nerves and sinuses. This allows us to plan the optimal implant position and size, reduce surgical risks and increase long-term success rates.
Step-by-Step Implant Treatment Process
Your implant journey in Turkey is carefully planned so that you can combine high-quality dental care with a comfortable visit to Istanbul. In many cases, treatment can be divided into two or three short visits, depending on your bone condition and the complexity of the case.
- Online consultation and treatment planning: you send your dental photos, X-rays or reports, and our implantologists evaluate your case. We then provide a preliminary treatment plan, cost estimate and timeline.
- Clinical examination and 3D imaging: at your first visit to VDS Dental, we perform a full oral examination and take necessary radiographs. If required, a CBCT scan is taken to assess bone quality in three dimensions.
- Surgical phase – implant placement: under local anaesthesia (and sedation upon request), the implants are placed into the jawbone following minimally invasive protocols. In simple cases, this step takes less than an hour.
- Healing period: the implants are left to integrate with the bone for approximately 2–4 months, depending on the case. During this period you may use temporary teeth so you can smile and function normally.
- Prosthetic phase – crowns or bridges: after successful osseointegration, impressions are taken and custom prosthetic restorations (crowns, bridges or full-arch prostheses) are fabricated. These are then securely attached to the implants.
Titanium vs Zirconia Implants
At VDS Dental we work with both high-grade titanium implants and metal-free zirconia implants. Titanium is considered the gold standard thanks to its long clinical history, excellent strength and predictable integration with the bone. Zirconia implants, on the other hand, are ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or those seeking the most natural white colour in the gum area. Our dentists will discuss the advantages of each option and recommend the best choice for your specific situation.
How Much Do Dental Implants in Turkey Cost?
The total cost of implant treatment in Turkey depends on several factors, including the number of implants, whether bone grafting or sinus lifting is necessary, and the type of prosthetic restoration used. However, even with premium implant brands and high-quality crowns, patients typically save between 50% and 70% compared to prices in Western Europe or North America. At VDS Dental you receive a transparent, itemised quotation before any treatment begins – there are no hidden fees.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Implants?
Most adults in good general health with adequate jawbone volume are suitable candidates for dental implants. Even if you have been told that you have limited bone, modern grafting techniques or short or angled implants can often provide a solution. During your consultation we will evaluate your medical history, medications, lifestyle habits such as smoking, and oral hygiene routines to determine the safest and most effective treatment plan for you.
