Istanbul is a very large metropolis. It’s understandable to have concerns about safety, but it’s worth noting that the challenges that may be encountered are no more than those in other major cities like London, Paris, or Barcelona. However, there’s no need to worry about safety issues like intrusion while walking on the streets. It’s acceptable to consume alcohol in public areas of Istanbul, although in more conservative neighborhoods it may raise eyebrows. Tourist-packed areas generally pose no problems. Like in other bustling cities, police are present in most areas, and in case of a need to contact, you can easily reach them by dialing 155. The only notable peculiarity in Istanbul may be with taxis. It is strongly recommended to ensure that the taximeter is running and to navigate your route using Google Maps or a similar tool.
Istanbul received around 16 million foreign visitors in 2022 from all around the World. Standing on 2 continents, being the capital city of 2 world empires: Byzantium and Ottoman Empires, the history of Istanbul dates back to ancient Romans, ancient Greeks, and all the way back to 6000 BC. The city offers an enormous amount of historic and cultural points to visit; such as Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Church Chora, etc. The City’s hundreds of years old Bazaars, new shopping streets and malls, nightclubs, and delicious Turkish and international cuisine restaurants, make it a unique set of experiences. Bosphorus, Golden Horn, and the unique Marmara Sea make the city one of the world’s most picturesque cities with beautiful views during the day and at night.
Istanbul proved itself as a safe city for all visitors with the utmost precautions taken by hotels, hospitals, visitor centers, and all around the City. Even during the Covid pandemic, around 5 million foreigners visited Istanbul in 2021 by far.

Implants are titanium screws that are placed into the jawbone, and their functionality relies on the fusion of these titanium screws with the jawbone. So, it is essential for implants to remain securely in the bone. Once the implants have fused with the jawbone, they behave like part of the bone and become hardened, making their removal difficult or nearly impossible. The duration of this process can vary depending on the implant brand, but on average, it takes about 3 months. Even with implants that expedite this process, a minimum waiting period of 45 days is still necessary.
In All-on-4 implants, the implants placed in the jawbone should be connected to each other within a maximum of 3 days. This is because the healing process and the adhesion of bone cells to promote healing begin within this timeframe. Therefore, the initial condition and achieving a specific level of compression are crucial for All-on-4 implants. In implant applications, it is preferred to use implants that are as wide and long as possible. Also, the implant should be stable right after its placement, which is measured using specific equipment. On the other hand, it is necessary to fabricate the superstructure using the lightest possible materials to ensure that the implants can endure the load without fatigue. For this reason, immediate chewing function is not provided with the newly fabricated temporary teeth. Their primary role is to provide stability in aesthetic and social aspects.
Our dentists only use selected brands of FDA-approved implants which have been clinically tested for years. Therefore, all implants we use in your treatment have a lifetime written warranty and after the treatment, you are provided with your implant’s certificate denoting the brand, model and other necessary information. With this certificate, your implant will be restored free of charge; however, no guarantee is provided for the prosthetic superstructure and craftsmanship.
