Should I choose implants or dentures?

Dental implants offer a permanent, natural-feeling solution, while dentures are a more traditional and initially more affordable option. At our Fethiye clinic, implant prices are so far below European rates that many patients who previously chose dentures due to cost can now afford implants.

Implants are superior to dentures in comfort, functionality and long-term health. They prevent bone loss, feel like natural teeth and last 25+ years. However, they require a surgical procedure and have a longer healing period.

Lower operating costs, government incentives and high patient volume allow Turkish clinics to offer the same quality implants at well below European prices. Our Fethiye clinic uses internationally certified materials and brands.

Yes, the majority of denture wearers are suitable candidates for implant treatment. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting can provide the necessary support. Our clinic offers free assessments to determine your eligibility.

Implant surgery is performed under local anaesthesia and you feel no pain during the procedure. There may be mild swelling and sensitivity for a few days afterwards, which is easily managed with painkillers.

Typically two visits are needed: the first for implant placement and the second 3-4 months later for the permanent crown fitting. In some cases, same-day loading implant options are available.
