Dental Implants · For patients travelling from the UK
Implants in Istanbul,
planned
before you fly.
You send photographs from home and receive a treatment plan and a written, itemised quote — before you book a flight. From the moment you land, every transfer is arranged by us.
Why you are here
What patients from the UK
ask us before they book.
These are the four questions that come up in almost every message. All of them have straight answers.
How we work
We don't leave the result to chance.
We plan it first.
None of the four stages is skipped. The position of your implant is decided on a computer before you sit in the chair.
A 3D scan measures the height and thickness of your bone. The implant's position, angle and length are planned digitally.
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic. A single implant usually takes 20 minutes.
The implant fuses with the bone in about 3 months. A temporary tooth is fitted so no gap shows.
Once healing is complete a digital impression is taken and your custom ceramic tooth is fixed onto the implant.
Selected cases
Same protocol,
results that are never identical.
Drag the slider to compare. Every case was planned with a CT scan first and completed with the same protocol.

Making the right choice
A bridge, or an implant?
Both replace a missing tooth. So you can choose knowing the difference:
| Bridge | Implant | |
|---|---|---|
| How long it takes | 1–2 weeks | 20 min to place; ceramic tooth ~3 months later |
| Neighbouring teeth | Two healthy teeth are cut down | Untouched |
| Jaw bone | Bone in the gap shrinks over time | Acts as a root, keeps the bone working |
| Cleaning | Needs special floss underneath | Brushed like your own tooth |
| Lifespan | 7–10 years | 20+ years; the implant itself often for life |
| If it fails | The whole bridge is remade | Only the tooth on top is replaced |
| If you lose more teeth | A longer new bridge is needed | Another implant can simply be added |
| Best suited to | Those who prefer to avoid surgery | Anyone wanting a long-lasting, independent tooth |
Process
Two trips to Istanbul.
About three months in between.
Send photographs and any X-rays on WhatsApp. You receive a treatment plan and a written, itemised quote before you book flights.
A 3D scan on arrival, then placement under local anaesthetic — usually 20 minutes per implant. A temporary tooth is fitted where it shows. You fly home a couple of days later.
The implant fuses with the bone while you carry on with normal life in the UK. We check in on WhatsApp and answer anything that comes up.
A digital impression is taken, your custom ceramic teeth are made and fitted, and the bite is adjusted before you fly home.
We stay reachable on WhatsApp. Photographs are assessed quickly and, where needed, we send written instructions a dentist near you can follow.
Travel & stay
You fly in.
We handle the rest.
The treatment is the part you should be thinking about — not how to get from the airport. Here is exactly how a trip works.
Send photographs, and any X-rays you have, on WhatsApp. You get an assessment, a treatment plan and a written itemised quote — all before you book a single flight.
You are free to book your own flights. If you would rather not, tell us your preferred dates and we will help you find suitable connections.
From the moment you land, every transfer is arranged by us: airport to your hotel, hotel to the clinic each day, and back to the airport when you leave.
If you would like help with accommodation we arrange a hotel close to the clinic, so appointments are a short ride away rather than a journey across Istanbul.
Your dentist
Dr. Kürşat Yılmaz
Specialist in prosthodontics and aesthetic dentistry (DDS, PhD). His practice is built on touching the natural tooth as little as possible. At KY Clinic every treatment is planned digitally first, and nothing is carried out before you have seen the result.
“A good implant shows itself not on the X-ray, but in the mouth ten years later. We plan for that decade.”
Patient experiences
The sentence we hear most:
“I wish I'd done it sooner.”
I sent photographs from Manchester on a Tuesday and had a clear plan back the same day. Nothing was vague.
A car was waiting at the airport and took me everywhere. I never once had to work out how to get somewhere.
They stayed in touch on WhatsApp after I flew home. That was the part I had been most worried about.
