What Does a Dentist Check Before Placing a Dental Implant in Istanbul?
A good implant is decided before surgery. These are the five checks that shape your plan.
These are general planning guides used in implant dentistry. Your own 3D scan decides what applies to you.
How Is a Dental Implant Case Planned and Placed Step by Step in Istanbul?
Free first opinion online
Send a panoramic X-ray or a clear smile photo on WhatsApp. This shows if you probably need one implant, a single dental implant with bone support, or a bigger plan.
3D scan and written plan
On arrival the scan shows bone height, width and density, the nerve path and the sinus floor. You get a written plan with the number of implants, the brand and the price before anything starts.
Placement under local anaesthesia
The implant is placed to the planned depth and angle. The surgeon checks how firmly it sits, called primary stability. This decides if the tooth can be loaded the same day.
Same-day teeth, only when safe
Many clinicians look for a firm hold, often an insertion torque of about 35 Ncm or more, before fixing teeth straight away. Good candidates may have an immediate implant. If the hold is low, waiting is the safer choice.
Bone bonding takes months
The implant fuses with the jawbone over time. As a typical range this is about 3 to 4 months in the lower jaw and 4 to 6 months in the upper jaw, which is softer. You can heal at home.
Final crown or bridge
After healing, a short second visit fits the final tooth, often a strong zirconium crown. Planning how many days to stay? See how many days dental crowns take in Turkey.
Low bone above the upper jaw
Very low bone under the sinus, often below about 5 mm, usually points to a lateral-window sinus lift. Moderate height may allow a gentler approach. Severe bone loss may need zygomatic implants.
Many teeth missing
Instead of one implant per tooth, a full arch can rest on 4 or 6 implants. Compare All-on-4, All-on-6 and full mouth dental implants. Mayo Clinic notes that complex cases may involve a team of specialists, which is why a clear plan matters.
