Medical tourism has been rapidly increasing in the last few years with people travelling to different countries to obtain special health care. Quality services which include complex surgeries, that are unavailable in the person’s native country, are mainly the reason behind these medical trips.

An important facility sought by these people is the one-day dental implant which is provided by only a few countries. Turkey is also one of these countries where this special type of dental surgery is done and people around the globe come on medical trips to Turkey to benefit from it.





A dental implant is basically an artificial replacement for the root part of the tooth and is fixed into the socket in the jaw bone to support a stable structure of a false tooth. The material of the implant is made from titanium so that it easily mixes with the bone tissue. During the placement of the implant, a skillful dental surgeon makes sure that a close contact between the outer surface of the implant and the encompassing bone tissue is made to facilitate the joining of both of them. Anesthesia is also applied in the area of the implant to eliminate the pain produced during the process. Dental implants are highly successful in their results showing effects lasting to over 30 years.

Usually, these implants take a few days to installed completely and be useful for the person, but now with improved scanning technology, the implants can be put in place immediately and become functional in the space of some hours. After a person’s tooth has been extracted, the person has to wait for just a short period of time before the tooth is examined and the suitable implant is selected. The upgraded scanning technology allows the dentist to make an accurate custom crown which can be put on the implant instantly.

This facility is provided in Turkey where dental tourists are able to save travel time and lodging costs as the implants are secured in a single trip. It is also a fact that one-day dental implant is much cheaper available at an affordable price and higher in quality in Turkey as compared to other countries. It has remained as a popular destination for dental tourism for North Americans and Europeans who are searching for quick and effective access to care.

Istanbul, the former capital and the largest city of Turkey is inhabited by a large number of dental offices and clinics that have international standards and latest technology to make the surgeries effective. There are different private and state dental clinics treating the patients with fruitful results.

The cost of treatment here is much cheaper and the accommodation prices are also considerably low, being the major reasons for the huge amount of people travelling to Turkey for one-day dental implant surgery. The quality doctors and experienced professionals make Istanbul a wonderful place and a world-class location for dental treatment.

Turkish airlines strongly support this type of medical tourism and have created special medical tourist packages in order to increase its share in the global market of healthcare and contribute to the national economy. These packages help the healthcare establishments to invest more in medical tourism.

The packages offer great discounts and incentives to those who visit Turkey for medical treatment purposes. The procedure for availing this offer includes preparing an acceptance letter received from the healthcare establishment associated with Turkish airlines. Several specifications also follow these discounts like the amount of luggage allowed and the discount permitted to the number of companions present with the patient.
