Why it matters

An implant is not a product. It is a twenty-year decision.

The titanium is the easy part. What decides whether your implant is still healthy in year fifteen is the angulation, the bone preparation, the soft-tissue management, and — quietly — the doctor's judgement on whether you should have been offered an implant at all.

We decline roughly one in five enquiries. Not because we cannot do the case, but because the tooth can still be saved, or because the timing is wrong. The purpose of the first consultation is not to sell — it is to tell you which of those three things your case actually is.

Materials

Straumann Group & Nobel Biocare. Named in writing.

Every fixture we place belongs to the Straumann Group portfolio (Straumann · Neodent · Medentika) or to Nobel Biocare. Lot number and brand are printed on your warranty certificate. Which specific product sits in your mouth depends on your clinical need and chosen tier — see Packages for the tier-by-tier material map.

01

Straumann (Switzerland)

BLX · BLT · Roxolid SLActive. Swiss manufacture. The surface chemistry we reach for when time-to-load matters. Standard in our Premium and VIP tiers.

Manufacturer warranty: lifetime fixture, per manufacturer terms.

02

Nobel Biocare (USA/Sweden)

Active · Parallel CC · N1 · PMC. Longest published follow-up data in the industry. Default for full-arch and cases we expect to follow for decades.

03

Neodent & Medentika (Straumann Group)

The Straumann Group's two value brands — Neodent (Brazil) and Medentika (Germany). Same A-grade manufacturing, same lot-numbered documentation, engineered for standard cases where BLX's premium surface isn't clinically required. Used in our Standard tier.

What we do not use

No private-label fixtures. No "Straumann-compatible" equivalents. No re-branded Korean or Chinese implants. If the brand is not from the Straumann Group or Nobel Biocare, it is not placed here.

What actually happens

The clinical pathway, in four stages.

01

CBCT & plan

3D imaging at the first visit. Bone volume, sinus proximity, nerve position — measured, not estimated. Plan signed by Dr. Öztürk.

02

Surgical placement

Guided or free-hand, depending on the site. Local anaesthetic; sedation on request. Same-day temporary in front-of-mouth cases.

03

Osseointegration

Three to six months of healing, at home. We monitor remotely — photos, questions, adjustments.

04

Final crown

Second visit, typically two working days. Zirconia or e.max. Occlusion tested in function before you leave.

Price

What it costs — and what the UK equivalent would cost.

These are starting prices; your costed plan is what counts. Figures include consultation, surgery, implant, abutment and final crown — no hidden extras.

FAQ

Questions UK patients ask first.

Why are UK implants so much more expensive?
Clinic overheads, regulatory costs, and professional fees in London are five to eight times the equivalent in Istanbul. The implant fixture itself — Straumann or Nobel — costs the same to the clinic in either country. You are not paying for a cheaper component; you are paying for a different cost base.
How long will I be in Istanbul?
For a single implant: one visit of three to four working days for placement, then three to six months of healing at home, then a second visit of two to three days for the final crown. Full-arch and complex cases are planned individually.
What happens if something goes wrong after I get home?
Your next contact is the same doctor who treated you, by WhatsApp. Most post-operative issues are resolved remotely; if a procedure is required, we will either guide a UK dentist or bring you back. The written warranty sets out the conditions.
Do you do same-day implants?
Yes, where the biology permits — usually single front-of-mouth sites with intact bone. We will never force a same-day protocol for marketing reasons; if you need to heal first, we will say so, and we will tell you why.
What brands do you actually use?
The Straumann Group portfolio (Straumann BLX/BLT/Roxolid SLActive · Neodent GM Helix/Titamax · Medentika Microcone/Quattrocone) and Nobel Biocare (Active, Parallel CC, N1, PMC). No other brands. Which brand you receive depends on your tier and clinical need — Standard uses Neodent or Medentika, Premium uses Straumann BLT or Nobel Active, VIP uses Straumann BLX. The lot number of the specific fixture placed is recorded in your surgical file and printed on your warranty.

◆ Aftercare · what happens when you fly home

Your treatment does not end at the airport.

Every patient leaves GC Clinic with a written warranty, a complete records pack in PDF for any UK dentist, and a structured WhatsApp follow-up schedule (24h · 72h · 1 week · 1 month · 3 months · 6 months · 12 months). Annual video review with Dr. Öztürk is standard. If a covered complication occurs in the warranty period, our "we fly you back" clause — written in your treatment agreement, not a marketing phrase — covers the return flight, hotel and corrective treatment.
