Dental implants in Güzelbahçe: the process step by step
Dental implant treatment with Dr. Eren Alayvaz in Yelki, Güzelbahçe, means placing a titanium screw in the jawbone where a tooth is missing and then making a crown on top. It begins with an examination and an X ray, and the timing and number of visits vary from person to person.
Who are dental implants suitable for?
An implant is an option for adults who want a fixed solution for a missing tooth. Suitability is decided at the examination and the X ray, based on the amount of jawbone, the condition of the gums and your general health history. The same plan is not applied to everyone.
- People missing a single tooth
- People missing several teeth
- People who want a fixed solution instead of a removable denture
How does implant treatment proceed?
Implant treatment starts with an examination and an X ray, then the implant is placed in the bone, healing is awaited and finally the crown is fitted. The time for each step varies from person to person, and your own timeline is set at the examination.
- Examination and X ray: the mouth and the bone structure are assessed.
- Plan: options, number of visits and cost are discussed.
- Placement: the implant is placed in the jawbone under local anaesthesia.
- Healing: the implant is left to join with the bone. This is often described as 3 to 6 months and can differ between the upper and lower jaw.
- Crown: the connecting part (abutment) is fitted and the crown is placed.
- Reviews: the process is followed with regular check ups after treatment.
What decides the time and cost of an implant?
The time and cost of implant treatment depend on the amount of bone, how many implants are placed, whether an additional bone procedure is needed and the crown material chosen. For this reason no price is listed. Clear information is given by Dr. Eren Alayvaz after the examination and the X ray.
- Amount and quality of bone
- Number and position of missing teeth
- Crown material
- General health
How do I care for an implant afterwards?
After implant treatment, daily mouth care and regular reviews are part of the treatment. The gum around an implant needs to be kept clean, as with natural teeth. Smoking can slow healing. Advice specific to you is given during treatment.
- Brush twice a day and use floss or an interdental brush
- Attend regular review appointments
- Talk to your dentist about cutting down smoking and alcohol

Frequently asked questions about implants, zirconia and wisdom teeth
How many months does implant treatment take?
The healing period is often described as 3 to 6 months and can differ between the upper and lower jaw. The total time varies from person to person with bone structure and the method chosen. Your own timeline is set at the examination.
Is there pain when an implant is placed?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. What people feel during and after it differs from person to person. The medicines and the care you need afterwards are explained to you separately.
Can an implant be placed if there is not enough bone?
The amount of bone is assessed with an X ray. In some cases an additional bone procedure is needed, and in others a different plan is chosen. Which one suits you is decided at the examination.
Does smoking affect an implant?
Smoking and alcohol can slow healing and may raise the risk of infection. For this reason it is recommended that you talk to your dentist about stopping or cutting down before and after treatment.
Can a zirconia crown be placed on an implant?
Yes, a zirconia crown can be placed on an implant. Once the implant has joined with the bone, a connecting part called an abutment is fitted and the crown is placed on it. The choice of material is discussed at the examination.
