Medical tourism is on the rise all around the world, and Turkey is welcoming well over 700,000 tourists seeking some type of medical care every year. Many of these are dental patients on the hunt for a more affordable way to get dental implants. Traveling to Turkey to get dental implants can significantly reduce the cost while also giving you a much-needed vacation in an exotic location. You will find additional price information below, or you can opt to fill out the form and get a customized estimate based on your needs and budget.
If you’ve made it this far, then you’ve probably already looked into what you can expect to pay for dental implants in your home country, so now the question remains: How much are dental implants in Turkey? Would you believe us if we said you can save a minimum of around 50% depending on where you’re from? Those from countries like the United States and the United Kingdom can expect to save even more, and the average price for a dental implant in Turkey starts from approximately €550.
The exact cost for dental implants in Turkey is going to come down to the brand of the implant, the current state of your mouth and the clinic you choose, but on average, a dental implant costs approximately 450-850 EUR in Turkey. This includes the whole process with few to no additional costs other than what you will pay to travel and stay in Turkey.
There can’t be a set price that applies to all patients looking to get dental implants, as there are many different factors that are going to impact the overall costs. We have had a quick look at these factors. The key is to check what implant brand is going to be used and what material the crown or prosthesis will be made of, as these are two of the main factors impacting the final price.
There is a long list of available implant types and brands out there, and they don’t all cost the same. For example, Nucleoss implants tend to be among the cheaper types while you will pay more for Nobel implants or implants from Astra Tech. As part of your research, ask your dentist or reach out to the dentist clinic to see what brand(s) they work with.
Are you getting porcelain crowns to cover up the implants, or perhaps metal crowns, all-resin crowns or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns? All these offer different functions, durability, and more, but they also come at variating costs. Do your research to see what you prefer, and find a clinic that works with your preferred material, and be prepared to have your decision directly affect the overall price of your dental implants.
While the end result can look similar in different people after having implants put in, the process to get there changes depending on the state of your natural teeth and your gums. If more work is needed to prepare your mouth for your implants, then the price is going to go up regardless of the implant brand and/or crown materials.
The cost likely varies depending on where in Turkey you plan to get your dental implants, and if you are looking for the cheapest option, it is worth investigating where in the country you benefit from going when you want the best available prices. This requires extensive research and is one of the things we can help you with.
Although the price differences aren’t likely to be too significant, as each clinic needs to appeal to the public in order to stand a chance among competitors, there can be some small variations when you compare available clinics. Part of researching for your dental care trip to Turkey involves comparing clinics with the intention to find the best offers out there.
Dental care prices in countries like the UK and the US, as well as in many countries around Europe, have been going nothing but up, and an increasing number of prospective patients are discovering the financial benefit that comes with having dental procedures done in Turkey. Dental care is cheaper in Turkey, but how come?
Before we proceed, please note that whether dental care is cheap in Turkey is highly relative, and it depends on what you have to compare it with. If you are a Turkish resident who works in Turkey and earns a wage according to Turkish standards, then you are not going to find dental care necessarily cheap. The prices are set according to the general income level.
However, if you live somewhere else and make your money in EUR, USD or GBP, and especially if you reside in a country with a higher income average, then you are likely to find Turkish dental care and dental implant procedures very affordable.
There is a common misconception that a low price means lesser quality, but that is not the case in this scenario, and you need to consider that the price is based on the Turkish income level and can therefore not be compared to prices in your home country. The result is quality dental care at a much cheaper price.
Another aspect that significantly cuts the costs for you as a patient is where the medical equipment used is manufactured. In Turkey, much of the dental care equipment used is manufactured in the country, and this leads to a more affordable price for patients from all over the world.
When you cut out transport costs, import fees, import and export taxes, the manpower it takes to move equipment internationally and more, then the service provided with the use of that equipment can be offered at a lower price.
Depending on the country, the PPP—Purchasing Power Parity—differs, and this refers to the estimated cost of certain goods or services in a country, and it serves as a measurement to calculate and compare the economic living standards in different parts of the world.
There is a PPP ratio of 1.451 when comparing Turkey to the United States, and while this can be a bit hard to understand if you are unfamiliar with this concept, it essentially means that live in the US is a lot more expensive, even though it evens out as people also make more money than in. for example, Turkey. What we do get from this is an explanation as to why dental implants and other dental care is so much cheaper in some countries.
In some cases, it might be possible for the dentist to go right in and insert the dental implants, and these would be considered very straight-forward and “simple” surgeries, as no real preparation work is needed. In other scenarios, surgery could be required to remove damaged teeth or prepare the jaw for the insertion of the implants, and this is always going to mean a higher cost for you as a patient.
Sinus lifts and bone grafts are likely to come at an additional cost in cases where one or the other (or both) is needed, but your dentist can help calculate exact dental implant prices depending on what you need.
The most expensive part of your trip could end up being the flight tickets, but you can find affordable options if you keep an eye out for special prices and promotions, or if you purchase your ticket well in advance. Once again, planning becomes key to make sure you can find tickets that fall within your overall budget.
The luxury suite at a 5-star hotel is probably going to cost you more than renting a regular hotel room or an AirBnb, and this will also have a noticeable impact on your total dental implant cost. Consider your budget and book your lodging based on your abilities and what you can afford to spend.
Everybody needs to eat, so don’t forget to budget for your food if you’ve chosen a hotel that isn’t an all-inclusive resort. Food is cheap in Turkey and you will find plenty of restaurants and street vendors selling exciting food items for you to try. Keep in mind that once you get your dental implants, you may not be able to eat solid food for the rest of your trip.
It is hard to visit Turkey without being tempted to check out a few tourist attractions and head off for a few adventures, provided you’ve booked a long enough trip for there to be sufficient time. If you have, then you want to take tourism-related activities into consideration too when setting up your budget and planning for the total cost.
Most dental clinics ask their patients to stay in the country for at least 5 days, to have enough time for follow-up visits and checks before you fly home. Even with these costs, the total price of your dental implants likely won’t surpass what you would pay back home, and you get an extra vacation out of it.
Dental surgery has higher chances of being successful when you are calm and relaxed, and what better way to destress than to get those extra vacation days before you fly back to your regular life with your new pearly whites?
It is so easy to make the mistake of assuming that a lower price means reduced quality, but that’s fortunately not how it works. Yes, if you were to compare two clinics in your home country where one charges you a much lower price than the other, then you might suspect that the low-price clinic has lower standards and provides a low-quality service.
However, Turkey is a different country where prices are low as a result of the existing cultural and financial situation within the nation, and the lower price is in no way an indicator of a service and dental work that don’t measure up. In fact, Turkey has some of the best dentists in the world, and they are famous for their excellent oral care standards.
If anything, you might find yourself receiving superior dental implant services compared to what you would get in your home country, and at a much lower price. It is an unbeatable combination you can’t (and shouldn’t) say no to, and especially since it includes a trip to Turkey and a chance to relax and unwind for a few days.
The prices and costs mentioned in this article are based on the current dentistry market in Turkey, but don’t forget that prices change. There most likely won’t be any drastic changes in the next few years, but we advise you to always check back to verify before making any definite travel plans or decisions.
