What Turkey packages typically include
Why Ankara for dental implants
Ankara is Turkey's capital and a centre for advanced dental research and specialisation. University hospitals and leading private clinics invest in cutting-edge imaging, CAD-CAM technology and minimally invasive techniques. Surgeons are trained to international standards and many hold postgraduate qualifications from Europe and North America. The city's competitive market drives innovation whilst maintaining rigorous safety protocols.
Choosing Ankara combines cost efficiency with clinical credibility. University-affiliated clinics conduct ongoing research into osseointegration and long-term implant success. Patients benefit from evidence-based protocols, experienced surgical teams and modern operating theatres. With just 4.5 hours' flight time from London and established international patient support, Ankara offers both accessibility and clinical substance for implant treatment.

What to check before choosing a clinic
Frequently asked questions
Why are dental implants so much cheaper in Ankara than the UK?
Labour costs, overheads and regulatory burdens are significantly lower in Turkey. Ankara's clinics benefit from strong competition and high patient volume. Costs reflect local economics, not lower quality: many surgeons trained abroad and use equivalent implant systems and materials to UK providers.
How long does implant treatment take in Ankara?
Initial placement takes one appointment (1-2 hours per implant). Bone healing requires 3-6 months before crown attachment. Most patients return to Ankara for final fitting 4-6 months later, though some receive temporary crowns and return for final restoration at 12 weeks.
How long will I need to stay in Ankara?
Initial treatment typically requires 5-7 days to allow swelling to settle and initial healing to begin. Suture removal occurs at day 10-14, often managed remotely. Final crown fitting at 4-6 months may require a shorter 2-3 day return visit.
Are dental implants safe in Turkey? What about infection risk?
Accredited clinics in Ankara follow international sterilisation and infection control standards. Post-operative infection rates are comparable to UK practice when aftercare protocols are followed. Antibiotic prophylaxis and detailed home care instructions reduce risk significantly. Always choose JCI-accredited facilities.
What aftercare support will I receive after returning to the UK?
Reputable Ankara clinics provide remote support via video consultation, detailed written care protocols and coordination with your UK dentist. Most offer revision guarantees if complications arise. Your UK dentist handles routine maintenance; serious issues may involve returning to Ankara or local revision care.
What implant brands do Ankara clinics use?
Leading clinics use globally recognised brands: Straumann, Zimmer, Nobel Biocare and Osstem. Always verify brand and warranty in your written quote. Implants carry 10-year manufacturer guarantees. Reputable clinics provide documentation of implant serial numbers for your UK dentist's records.
