Same-Day Implants in Turkey: The 2025 Cost & Procedure Guide
Review Date: September 2, 2025
Content Last Updated: November 1, 2025
If you have a failing or broken tooth, the biggest fear is often not the procedure itself, but the recovery. Specifically: “Will I have to walk around with a gap for months?”
The idea of wearing a removable temporary denture while a traditional implant heals is a major concern for most patients. What if you could get a tooth extracted, an implant placed, and a fixed, functional tooth attached—all on the very same day?
This is the promise of “Same-Day Implants,” or “Teeth in a Day.” As the expert team at HCT Dental Clinic, this is a procedure we perform routinely at our Istanbul and Antalya clinics. This 2025/2026 guide explains exactly how it works, who is a candidate, and the transparent costs involved.
What Are Same-Day Implants (Immediate Loading)?
“Same-Day Implant” (medically known as “Immediate Loading”) is not a special type of implant — it is an advanced dental technique.
In this technique, the process happens exactly as the name suggests:
- Extraction: The failed tooth (or teeth) is carefully extracted.
- Placement: Our surgical specialist immediately places a titanium implant into the extraction socket.
- Loading: If the implant achieves sufficient primary stability, a fixed temporary crown is attached during the same session.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Immediate Implants?
This is a powerful technique, but it is not suitable for everyone. The single most important factor is bone quality.
You are likely an ideal candidate if:
- You have good overall oral health.
- You have sufficient bone density and volume in the implant area.
- The failing tooth does not have a massive, active infection (abscess).
- You are a non-smoker (or willing to quit), as smoking severely impacts healing.
This is not a decision made from a simple X-ray. At HCT Dental Clinic, candidacy is only confirmed after a detailed 3D CBCT scan to precisely measure your bone’s suitability.
When is Immediate Loading Not Possible?
Our priority is long-term success, not just speed. As ethical clinicians, we will not perform immediate loading if the risk of failure is high.
- If the Bone is Too Soft: If the implant, when placed, does not achieve a specific level of tightness (called “primary stability”), loading it immediately would cause it to fail. In this case, we place the implant, cover it, and follow the traditional 2-stage healing path (3-6 months).
- If a Large Bone Graft is Needed: If the extraction reveals significant bone loss requiring a major bone grafting procedure, we must let the graft heal before loading the implant.
The Patient Journey: "Teeth in a Day" Step-by-Step
Here is what your journey for a same-day implant looks like:
- Consultation & 3D Planning: You’ll meet our team, including prosthodontist Prof. Dr. Müjde Sevimay, for a 3D CBCT scan. We digitally plan the entire procedure before you even sit in the chair.
- Surgical Phase (Day 1): Our maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Aslı Ataseven, performs the extraction and surgically places the implant (e.g., a Straumann or NTA implant) in one single, comfortable visit.
- Temporary Crown (Day 1): Dr. Ataseven confirms the implant’s stability. Our team then takes a digital scan, and within hours, your fixed temporary crown is attached to the implant.
- Healing Period (3-6 Months): You return home. This temporary crown is fully functional, but you must avoid chewing hard foods on it. During this time, the implant is fusing with your bone (osseointegration).
- Final Crown (Visit 2): After 3-6 months, you return for a short 5-day visit. We remove the temporary and place your final, permanent, high-strength aesthetic crown, such as a beautiful E-max porcelain crown.

A Note from Dr. Aslı Ataseven (Maxillofacial Surgeon)
“From a surgical perspective, the success of immediate loading hinges on one metric: ‘primary stability.’ We must achieve a minimum insertion torque, often 35 Ncm (Newton-centimeters), when placing the implant. If the bone is soft and the implant doesn’t ‘bite’ firmly, loading it with a temporary crown would be irresponsible. It would fail. In those cases, we tell the patient we must revert to a 2-stage (traditional) healing protocol. Long-term success will always trump a patient’s desire for speed.”
Post-Operative Care: Guidelines for Optimal Recovery
Your immediate implant is stable, but not integrated. The healing phase is critical.
- No Chewing (On That Spot): You must treat the new tooth gently. A soft-food diet is mandatory for the first 6-8 weeks. Chewing hard or sticky food on it can cause the implant to fail.
- Oral Hygiene: Do not brush the surgical site for the first few days. You will use a prescribed antiseptic mouthwash. Gentle saline (salt water) rinses after 24 hours are crucial.
- Medication: You must complete your full course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, even if you feel fine.
- No Smoking: This is non-negotiable. Smoking starves the healing tissues of oxygen and is a primary cause of implant failure.
Same-Day Implants Turkey Cost (2025 Price Guide)
This combination of speed and quality is where Turkey provides unmatched value, especially when compared to the UK or USA.
- In the UK: A single implant, with the extra cost for an immediate temporary crown, can cost £3,000 – £4,500.
- In the USA: The same procedure often ranges from $4,000 – $5,500.
At HCT Dental Clinic in Turkey, the 2025/2026 all-inclusive price for a single same-day implant (including the implant, surgical placement, and temporary and final crown) typically ranges from €900 to €1,500.
This saving of 60-70% allows our patients to enjoy a dental holiday in Istanbul or Antalya, receiving care with premium brands (like Straumann, Medentika) for less than the cost of the treatment alone back home. For a full breakdown, see our price list.
