Why International Patients Choose Smile Center Turkey®
Dental implants act as artificial roots to support crowns, bridges or dentures. At Smile Center Turkey®, we prioritise predictable function and natural aesthetics through:
- Internationally trained dentists with extensive implant experience and continuous education.
- Clear communication with multilingual coordinators and UK-friendly time slots.
- Comprehensive care journey from online consultation to structured aftercare.
- Antalya setting — a beautiful, well-connected city ideal for a calm recovery.
Types of Dental Implants We Offer
Following clinical examination and CBCT imaging, we recommend the most appropriate option for your bone anatomy, bite and long-term goals.
| Type | Best For | Strengths | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Endosteal | Most patients with adequate jawbone | High stability and long clinical track record | May require grafting when bone is insufficient |
| Subperiosteal | Patients avoiding grafting in selected cases | Avoids extensive bone augmentation | Less common; case selection is crucial |
| Zygomatic | Severe bone loss in the upper jaw | Anchors to the cheekbone to bypass grafting | Specialist procedure; detailed planning needed |
| Mini Implants | Denture stabilisation and minimal invasiveness | Reduced surgical footprint and faster recovery | Not ideal for heavy bite forces/long spans |
Note: Final plans are always personalised after a full clinical assessment.
Our Step-by-Step Implant Procedure
- Initial Consultation: Online or in-clinic assessment, medical history, photographs, and 3D imaging. We discuss suitability, alternatives and timing.
- Implant Placement: Precision-guided surgery under local anaesthetic (with sedation where appropriate). Comfort and sterility protocols are strictly followed.
- Healing & Osseointegration: Your implant integrates with the bone over several months. We can provide provisional options where clinically indicated.
- Restoration: Custom crowns/bridges are designed with CAD/CAM for proper bite, phonetics and natural aesthetics.
- Follow-Up: Structured checks, bite refinement and hygiene guidance. Virtual reviews are available for international patients.
Every patient is unique; timing, adjunctive procedures and visits vary with clinical needs and healing response.
Preparation & Antalya Travel Planning
- Share records early: X-rays, scans, medical history and medications help us plan precisely.
- Virtual consult: Align expectations, review visuals, and map your itinerary.
- Travel logistics: We assist with airport transfers and hotel suggestions close to the clinic.
- Health readiness: Arrange time for rest post-surgery; bring any prescribed medication lists and allergy notes.
- Smart packing: Soft-bristled brush, interdental aids, comfortable clothing, and travel insurance documentation.
Between appointments, explore Kaleiçi, the coastline, and nearby historical sites such as Perge and Aspendos for a restorative experience.
Advanced Technology We Use
- CBCT 3D imaging for bone mapping and nerve proximity.
- Digital Smile Design to preview aesthetic outcomes.
- CAD/CAM for precision-milled restorations and bite accuracy.
- Guided surgery systems to support minimally invasive placement.
- Strict sterilisation and infection-control protocols aligned with international standards.
Aftercare, Maintenance & Lifestyle
Long-term implant success relies on good hygiene, healthy routines and scheduled reviews. Our aftercare includes:
- Immediate post-op care: Cold compresses as advised, soft diet, and activity moderation.
- Oral hygiene: Twice-daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste; interdental cleaning around the implant restoration.
- Habit review: Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol, especially during healing.
- Diet & lifestyle: Prioritise nutrient-rich foods; once recovered, enjoy a normal diet within clinician guidance.
- Professional maintenance: Regular hygienist visits and clinical checks (locally or via virtual follow-ups).

Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Suitability depends on your oral health, bone quality and medical history. We assess this via consultation and CBCT imaging before recommending a plan.
How many trips to Antalya will I need?
Many patients complete surgical placement in one visit and return for definitive restoration after healing. Some cases are completed in fewer visits based on clinical factors.
What if I have limited bone?
Options may include grafting, alternative implant designs (e.g., zygomatic in selected cases) or staged approaches. We will outline all clinically appropriate routes.
How do you handle aftercare for international patients?
We provide written guidance, virtual check-ins and collaborate with your local dentist for periodic maintenance.
