Dental implants can be applied to a single tooth, multiple teeth or a full mouth. The cost of treatment will vary according to the treatment stages that will be completely customized for the patient.

Then, detailed analyzes are performed with examination, computed tomography and 3D imaging. The treatment is completed with the intervention of the area to be treated in the jawbone by the oral surgeon when necessary, implant installation, abutment placement, production and application of artificial tooth coatings suitable for smile design.
The treatment process should not be rushed due to time constraints. There is a possibility of serious health problems if possible infections progress. It would be advantageous for the patient to plan his/her work in his/her home country, taking into account the treatment process and delays.

When they go back to their home countries, they tell about their experiences in Turkey to their friends and family, thus guiding other patients who are in the process of deciding on health tourism.
