Dental implants have become the gold standard for replacing missing teeth , offering durability, natural aesthetics, and long-term oral health benefits. At Apex Dental Turkey, our experienced team, including Dt. Zerrin Ertekin and Dt. Odman Ertekin, specializes in advanced implantology procedures designed to restore confidence and function for international patients, especially from the UK.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the different types of dental implants, how they work, and which option might be best for your smile restoration journey.
A dental implant is a titanium or zirconia post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once healed, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached, creating a natural-looking and fully functional replacement tooth.
Different implant systems are used depending on bone quality, treatment goals, and the number of missing teeth. Here are the most common types:
| Implant Type | Placement Area | Recommended For | Bone Requirement | Recovery Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Endosteal | Inside jawbone | Most patients with good bone health | High | 3–6 months |
| Subperiosteal | On top of jawbone | Low bone density patients | Low | 2–4 months |
| Zygomatic | Cheekbone | Severe bone loss cases | None required | 4–6 months |
| Mini Implants | Jawbone (narrow areas) | Denture stabilization | Moderate | 1–2 months |
| All-on-4 / All-on-6 | Full arch | Full-mouth restoration | Moderate to high | 3–5 months |
Choosing the right implant type depends on several factors, including bone density, oral health, and aesthetic goals. During your free consultation, our dentists will perform 3D CBCT imaging to design a fully personalized treatment plan. If bone loss is detected, Sinus Lift or Bone Grafting may be recommended to ensure long-term implant stability.
Our upcoming UK consultation events also allow patients to meet Dt. Zerrin Ertekin and Dt. Odman Ertekin in person, discuss treatment options, and get a pre-diagnosis before traveling to Antalya.
