Introduction
At Dentist Kusadasi, dental implants start from £405 per implant, including your consultation, CE-certified titanium implants, and aftercare. We treat international patients from the UK, Ireland and across Europe, combining specialist implantology with hotel accommodation and VIP transfers in a single transparent package.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small screw made of titanium that serves as a replacement for the root of a missing natural tooth. The biocompatibility of titanium allows the dental implant to fuse with the bone and provide a secure anchor for the replacement tooth. Proper oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist are crucial for maintaining dental implants just like natural teeth. Certain factors such as smoking and chronic conditions like diabetes can decrease the success rate and delay healing.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Dental Implants?
Evaluating the health of your gums, teeth, and bone through X-rays is essential to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. Patients taking intravenous or oral bisphosphonates may be at a higher risk for osteonecrosis, which results from a lack of blood supply to the bone, and dental implants may be contraindicated.
Types of Implant Scenarios
Single Tooth Missing
To replace a single missing tooth, a dental implant can be used without affecting the adjacent teeth, unlike a traditional dental bridge.
All Teeth Missing
There are two options for replacing all teeth with dental implants.
Option 1 (All-On-Six)
Involves placing a full set of implants (up to 8 on the upper jaw and at least 6 on the lower jaw) and using zirconium crowns on the upper and lower jaws.
Option 2 (All-On-Four)
Involves placing 4 implants on the upper and lower jaws, followed by the use of a click system acrylic cast denture that snaps onto the implants.
Related Procedures
Bone Augmentation
To prepare the jawbone for dental implant placement, a bone augmentation procedure may be necessary when the jawbone has significantly decreased in strength and thickness due to a long period of tooth loss.
Sinus Lift
In cases where there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw, a sinus lift procedure may be required to raise the sinus floor and provide sufficient space for the placement of dental implants.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Dental implants both feel and look like your natural teeth with no chewing or speaking difficulties or “clicking” noises that can occur with dentures. In addition, they’ll give you back your smile, enabling you to enjoy yourself socially without being self-conscious.
- You can brush and floss your dental implants just like regular teeth. Prosthesis over implants don’t have to be removed before sleeping at night either, which allows you to maintain your lifestyle at any hour.
- The way implants are installed ensures that there will not be any slippage, so you will not have to worry — as sometimes happens with dentures.
- The materials used in the implants (typically titanium) are durable and biocompatible, so the chances of either damage or an allergic reaction are minimised.
- Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on neighbouring teeth for support, which can help protect remaining teeth from damage. And, unlike dentures, bone loss is usually avoided since dental implants actually replace the tooth and its root.
- Dental implants are considered long-term replacements that can last a lifetime provided that they are maintained properly, while bridges and removable dentures may need replacing every 7 to 10 years.
Procedure
Before The Procedure
Before having the procedure, a full oral examination will be performed by your dentist and oral surgeon. OPG (panoramic x-ray) or CT scan of the patient will also be evaluated before the consultation. These are used to analyse the density of the bone where the implant(s) will be placed. Local anaesthesia is adequate for this procedure as the only pain you experience is the prick of the anaesthesia needle and some amount of pressure.
Please remember to eat and drink fluids (non-alcoholic) as normal before the procedure, do not miss breakfast and take all of your medications at normal times.
During The Procedure
Phase 1
Once your dentist is assured that your jawbone is healthy enough to receive an implant, the gum tissue is opened and a channel is created deep into the bone to place the implant with a special drill under local anaesthesia.
Depending on the density and anatomic structure of the bone your dentist will choose the type as well as the length of the implant. The implant is then placed in the channel and the gum is sutured or stitched back. In some cases, your dentist may not close the gum and place an abutment directly on to the implant.
If you already use a denture, you will continue to use it during the healing process, otherwise, a temporary prosthesis might be placed. Current dentures might be adjusted to fit better when needed.
The healing time is usually 3 to 6 months. During the healing period, the implant fuses to the bone and acts like a natural tooth root. Upon successful osseointegration, which is the structural connection that forms between your natural jawbone and the titanium implant, you move forward to the next phase.
Phase 2
The gum is re-opened to expose the implant. Then an abutment is screwed and tightened to the dental implant using special dental equipment. After this is done, a temporary crown is placed onto the abutment as the abutment needs to be protected from biting forces to ensure successful healing. The temporary crown is used for a few days until the permanent crown is ready.
After The Procedure (After-Care)
- Avoid hot drinks or hot food for the first day.
- Do not eat until the local anaesthetic loses effect.
- Try not to rub or touch the area with your fingers or tongue.
- Try to wear your denture as little as possible if it covers the implant area. If the denture does not seem to fit properly after your surgery, then you should have it adjusted. A badly fitting denture can damage a healing implant.
- Stitches are normally dissolvable; they usually remain around 2–3 weeks.
- A patient should avoid excessive exercise up to 48 hours post-surgery.
Single Implants vs Full-Mouth Treatment
If you are missing a single tooth, a single dental implant replaces just the root and crown without affecting neighbouring healthy teeth. If you are missing most or all of your teeth, full-mouth treatment with All-on-4 or All-on-6 replaces an entire arch on a fixed set of implants in one visit. Your dentist will recommend the right option after reviewing your X-rays, bone density and the number of teeth affected.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 Options
All-on-4 uses four implants per jaw to support a full arch of fixed replacement teeth, and is a proven, cost-effective solution for patients with adequate bone density. All-on-6 uses six implants for extra stability and load distribution, and is often recommended when bone density is lower or a patient has a stronger bite. Both include temporary teeth fitted on the day of surgery. See our All-on-4 package and All-on-6 package pages for full details and pricing.
What Is Included in the Price?
Every quote from Dentist Kusadasi is all-inclusive: your consultation, CE-certified titanium implants, abutments and crowns, sedation where needed, and post-treatment aftercare are all covered in one transparent price, with no hidden extras. Single implants start from £405 per implant. For a full breakdown of what is and isn't included, see our dental implants cost guide .
Implant Brands and Materials
We use CE-certified titanium implants from internationally recognised brands, including Straumann, Neodent and Nucle-Oss, chosen for their biocompatibility and long-term clinical track record. Crowns and prosthetics are produced in our in-house dental laboratory, giving us full control over fit, shade-matching and quality at every stage.
How Many Visits Are Required?
Most patients complete their dental implant treatment in a single visit to Kusadasi of around 2 to 5 days, during which implants are placed and, where appropriate, temporary teeth are fitted. A second visit several months later is required to fit the final, permanent crowns or bridge once the implants have fully fused with the jawbone (osseointegration). Your treatment coordinator will confirm the exact schedule and accommodation needs during your free assessment.
UK & Irish Patients
We welcome patients travelling from the UK, Ireland and across Europe, and coordinate every part of your trip alongside your treatment: free video consultations before you travel, VIP airport transfers, hotel accommodation, and an English-speaking patient coordinator throughout your stay in Kusadasi. All prices are quoted in pounds sterling so you know exactly what to expect before you book.
Conclusion
Dental implants provide a reliable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth with success rates of around 95%. If you are considering dental implants, it's important to consult with a qualified dental professional to determine if you are a suitable candidate, and discuss the specific details of the treatment, including duration and cost. Smile with confidence once again by choosing dental implants as your replacement option for missing teeth.
