- Day 5-7: Final fitting, permanent bonding, and final checks. You fly home with your new smile.
Implant Placement (Visit 1)
The first step in our step-by-step dental implant procedure is the surgical insertion of the titanium/zirconia root.
- Day 1: Consultation, panoramic X-Rays, and 3D CBCT scans to plan exact placement.
- Day 2-3: Pain-free surgical placement of the implants (and temporary crowns if applicable).
- Day 4-5: Final post-op checkup and clearance to fly home. *A healing period of 3-6 months is required before Stage 2.*
Permanent Crowns (Visit 2)
After the implants have successfully fused with your jawbone (osseointegration), you return to Turkey for the final aesthetic phase.
- Day 1: Impressions and digital scans of the healed implants.
- Day 2-4: Custom milling of your permanent Zirconium or Porcelain crowns in the lab.
- Day 5-7: Final fitting, bite adjustment, and permanent cementing. Your restoration is complete!

Frequently Asked Questions
In certain specific cases (like “Teeth in a Day” or immediate loading All-on-4), temporary fixed teeth are placed on the same day as the surgery. However, you will still need to return 3-6 months later to have the permanent, durable crowns fitted once the bone has fully healed.
While our lab crafts your custom veneers, you will be fitted with comfortable temporary teeth. You are free to explore Istanbul, enjoy the culture, and relax at your 5-star hotel without any self-consciousness or major eating restrictions.
At La Viva Clinics, we build a buffer into your 5-7 day itinerary to handle any minor adjustments needed for the perfect fit. We strongly advise booking your return flight for the evening of your final estimated day to ensure a stress-free departure.
