What is an Endosteal Implant?
An endosteal implant is a dental implant made of titanium, placed into the jawbone. It is the most commonly used type of implant for individuals who have lost teeth, and it aims to restore the function and appearance of natural teeth. It integrates with the jawbone to create a strong foundation, and prosthetic teeth are placed on top. It is widely used for various cases, ranging from single tooth loss to full mouth restorations.

Why Are Endosteal Implants Popular?
Endosteal implants rely on a solid structural foundation by integrating with the jawbone, offering long-term durability. Compared to other types of implants, they provide a natural appearance and function similar to natural teeth, offering high satisfaction both aesthetically and functionally. Additionally, the use of modern technology and minimally invasive approaches accelerates the recovery process, making them increasingly popular.
How Are Endosteal Implants Applied?
Every treatment yields excellent results only with careful planning and a rational approach. Therefore, in the first step, your specialist will thoroughly evaluate your oral and jaw structure and listen to your personal expectations carefully. Then, based on your needs and desires, they will determine the most suitable solution and take all the necessary steps to apply a flawless treatment. At Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic, the following steps are followed for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
1. Preliminary Evaluation and Planning
In the first step, the person’s oral structure and jawbone are examined in detail. Taking other health conditions into account, a personalized treatment plan is prepared. The doctor may use digital imaging technologies to determine the correct implant type and placement method.
2. Surgical Procedure and Implant Placement
Before the implant is placed, local anesthesia is applied. Then, a suitable area is opened in the jawbone, and the titanium implant is placed. This process usually takes less than an hour. During the surgical procedure, all necessary measures are taken to ensure the patient’s comfort.
3. Osseointegration (Fusion) Process
After the implant is placed, a waiting period of a few months is required for the fusion (osseointegration) of the implant with the jawbone. This process ensures the implant forms a solid foundation. The patient’s ability to use their teeth may be restricted during this period, but by the end of the process, the implant becomes strong and durable.
4. Placement of the Prosthetic Tooth
After the implant fuses with the jawbone, the appropriate prosthetic tooth is placed. This step ensures the tooth is in place both functionally and aesthetically. The prosthetic tooth is custom-made to ensure a perfect fit both in terms of aesthetics and function.
5. Regular Check-ups and Maintenance
After the implant is placed, regular follow-up visits are scheduled. These check-ups are important to ensure the recovery process is progressing correctly and to maintain the longevity of the implant. Additionally, the patient should take care of their oral hygiene to monitor the health of the gums around the implant.
Will There Be Pain or Discomfort?
During the endosteal implant procedure, local anesthesia is applied, so no pain is felt during the procedure. After the procedure, there may be mild discomfort or swelling, but this typically subsides within a short period. During the recovery process, pain relievers can be used according to the doctor’s recommendations to provide comfort.
How Long Does the Endosteal Implant Procedure Take?
The placement of an endosteal implant is generally a surgical procedure that takes 1-2 hours. However, the recovery process and fusion with the jawbone typically take 3-6 months. The placement of the prosthetic teeth is done after the recovery process is completed, which can take about 1-2 weeks. In total, the treatment process can take several months depending on the individual and their condition.
How Many Days Does It Take to Heal?
After the implant is placed, the recovery process generally takes 3-6 months. During this period, the implant fuses with the jawbone (osseointegration). There may be mild swelling and discomfort during the first few days, but these symptoms usually significantly decrease within 1-2 weeks. Full recovery is achieved after the implant fuses with the jawbone.
Endosteal Implant Prices
2025 endosteal implant prices vary depending on the materials used, the treatment process, and the clinical conditions. Prices generally vary based on multiple factors. However, considering the long-term permanent solution and aesthetic results it provides, this investment holds long-term value.
