Dental implants: titanium posts placed in the jawbone to support a fixed or removable tooth replacement. Examination, planning and process.

Dental implants replace missing teeth with titanium posts placed in the jawbone, which then support a fixed or removable prosthesis. They can be considered for a single missing tooth or for full edentulism.
At Prime Istanbul Cerrahi, an implant plan begins with an intraoral examination and digital imaging to assess the structure of the jawbone. Our dental team prepares a plan tailored to your bone density and overall oral health. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, with your comfort in mind throughout.
Implant treatment involves several stages, including the time needed for the implant to integrate with the bone. Progress is monitored with regular check-ups.
The Dental Implant Process
Implant treatment proceeds in stages, from examination through to the final prosthesis.
Examination and imaging
An intraoral examination and digital X-ray assess the structure of your jawbone.
Treatment plan
A personalised implant plan is prepared based on your bone condition and needs.
Placing the implant
The implant is placed in the jawbone under local anaesthesia.
Healing period
Time is needed for the implant to integrate with the bone; this period varies from patient to patient.
Fitting the prosthesis
Once integration is complete, the final tooth replacement is fitted onto the implant.
What Dental Implants Offer
Neighbouring teeth are untouched
Unlike a bridge, healthy neighbouring teeth are not reshaped.
Supports the jawbone
Implants can help slow the bone loss that follows tooth extraction.
Natural function
Speech and chewing function are supported in a way that is close to a natural tooth.
Frequently asked questions
The timeline depends on your bone condition and the method used; your dentist will share a schedule tailored to you after examination.
