Single Implant

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is the most advanced and long-lasting solution to replace a missing tooth — whether it’s lost due to injury, decay, or gum disease. Instead of attaching a prosthetic tooth to the neighboring teeth, a dental implant is placed directly into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root that supports a custom-made crown.

At Turkey Teeth, we provide state-of-the-art single dental implants in Antalya using digital planning and top-quality materials to ensure your new tooth is indistinguishable from your natural ones — in both appearance and function.

Why It’s Better Than a Bridge

While dental bridges were once the go-to solution for a missing tooth, they come with some drawbacks:

• They require shaving down healthy adjacent teeth, which weakens them
• They don’t stimulate the jawbone, leading to potential bone loss over time
• They typically last 5–10 years, whereas implants can last 20+ years with proper care

In contrast, a single tooth implant:

✅ Preserves the health of neighboring teeth
✅ Prevents bone loss by mimicking a natural tooth root
✅ Feels and functions like a real tooth
✅ Offers a long-term, fixed solution with superior aesthetics

That’s why most modern dentists — and all of us at Turkey Teeth — recommend implants over bridges whenever possible.

How It Restores Function & Aesthetics

A properly placed single tooth implant doesn’t just fill a gap — it restores full chewing ability, maintains your facial symmetry, and prevents teeth from shifting into the empty space.

Your implant is topped with a custom-designed porcelain or zirconia crown, matched to the exact shape, size, and color of your natural teeth using digital smile design tools. The result?
A seamless, natural-looking restoration that feels like it’s always been there.

Whether it’s a front tooth or a molar, a single implant from Turkey Teeth in Antalya will help you smile, eat, and speak with total confidence again.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A single tooth implant is an ideal solution for most adults who have lost a tooth and want a permanent, natural-looking replacement. However, to ensure long-term success, certain clinical conditions must be met.

At Turkey Teeth, we perform a detailed examination to determine if you’re a suitable candidate before starting treatment.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are missing one tooth (front or back)
• Have healthy gums and no active infection
• Have adequate bone density in the jaw (or are eligible for minor grafting)
• Are in overall good health, with no uncontrolled medical conditions
• Don’t smoke heavily or are willing to pause smoking during healing
• Are committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups

Even if you’ve been missing the tooth for a long time, our clinic can assess bone quality with 3D CBCT imaging to determine whether you’re still eligible for an implant — or if minor bone grafting may be needed beforehand.

What If You’re Not Sure?

Don’t worry — our team at Turkey Teeth offers free implant assessments (in-person or remotely via X-rays/photos). We’ll guide you honestly on whether a single tooth implant is the best option or suggest suitable alternatives based on your anatomy, timeline, and budget.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Getting a single tooth implant at Turkey Teeth in Antalya is a straightforward process, carefully planned to ensure maximum comfort, long-term stability, and natural aesthetics. Most international patients complete the first phase in just 2 to 3 days, with a second visit scheduled after healing for the final crown placement.

Here’s how it works:

Consultation & Imaging

Your journey starts with a comprehensive clinical evaluation, either on-site in Antalya or remotely through a preliminary consultation.

When you arrive:

• We perform a 3D CBCT scan to assess bone height, width, and density
• Take digital intraoral impressions for precise planning
• Review your medical history and any specific cosmetic goals
• Discuss material options (e.g., zirconia or porcelain crowns)

This allows our team to digitally map the implant site, avoiding nerves or sinus areas and guaranteeing perfect angulation and placement.

Implant Placement

The surgical phase is quick, safe, and pain-free:

• Local anesthesia is applied — no general anesthesia is needed
• A small titanium implant is gently placed into the jawbone
• The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes, and you’ll go home the same day
• In most cases, we place a healing cap over the implant and may fit a temporary tooth for front teeth if aesthetics are a concern

Because we use flapless or minimally invasive techniques, swelling and discomfort are very limited.

Healing & Final Crown

Over the next 8 to 12 weeks, your jawbone undergoes osseointegration — the process where the bone fuses naturally with the implant. During this time:

• You’ll follow a soft diet if needed
• Maintain proper hygiene as instructed
• We stay in touch for remote check-ins (especially for international patients)

Once healing is complete, you return to Turkey Teeth for the final phase:

1. We take a new digital scan
2. You select the shade, shape, and finish of your final crown
3. We fabricate and place a custom, screw-retained or cemented crown

The final result is a strong, stable, and natural-looking tooth — perfectly aligned with your smile.

Do Single Implants Hurt?

No — getting a single dental implant is typically a quick and painless procedure.
Thanks to modern techniques, local anesthesia, and minimally invasive surgery, most patients at Turkey Teeth in Antalya report little to no discomfort during or after the process.

Here’s what to expect:

• During the procedure, the area is fully numbed using local anesthesia — you won’t feel pain, only slight pressure.
• The surgery is brief (usually under 1 hour) and doesn’t involve large incisions or stitches.
• If you’re particularly anxious, we can provide oral sedation or calming options for added comfort.

What About After the Surgery?

After the implant is placed, it’s normal to feel:

• Mild soreness or sensitivity near the implant site
• Minor swelling for the first 24–48 hours
• Slight pressure when chewing, which quickly subsides

However, these symptoms are easily managed with standard painkillers and usually disappear within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities the next day, especially if no bone grafting was involved.

At Turkey Teeth, we provide a personalized aftercare kit, pain relief plan, and remote support — so you’re never on your own during recovery.
