Dental implants
A titanium post replaces the root of a missing tooth and carries a natural-looking crown.
An implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone under local anaesthesia. Over the following 3 to 6 months it heals into the bone. An abutment then connects it to a zirconia or porcelain crown made to match your teeth.
For patients travelling to Alanya, implant treatment is usually planned as two trips: one for placement and one for the final crown.
