Dental implant cost in Istanbul, Turkey vs the UK
Short answer
Clinicest’s reference range for Dental Implants in Turkey is €450–900 (about £387–774) per implant, with abutment and crown. Published UK private price guides quote £1,800–4,500 per implant, with abutment and crown. These are indicative ranges, not quotes: your price depends on examination, the treatment plan and what is included.
This is a Clinicest reference range for Turkey. It is not a price list for Istanbul clinics: each clinic sets its own prices, and only a written treatment plan is a price you can rely on.

Turkey and UK prices side by side
Turkey — Clinicest reference range
€450–900
about £387–774 · per implant, with abutment and crown
UK private — published price guides
£1,800–4,500
per implant, with abutment and crown
The three guides quote £1,800–£4,500, £1,900–£3,500 and £1,900–£3,200; the wide top of the range usually reflects specialist or London practices.
Prices are indicative and may vary depending on examination, treatment plan and included services. Turkey figures are Clinicest reference ranges pending clinic-confirmed price lists, shown in euros with an indicative conversion (about £0.86 per €1, not a live rate). Only a written treatment plan from a clinic is a price you can rely on.
What affects the price
- Implant system and brand — ask which one, and whether the warranty is written down.
- Bone quality and whether a bone graft or sinus lift is needed.
- Number of implants, and whether crowns are in the quote or extra.
- Imaging and any extractions or gum treatment needed first.
Ask for these to be written into the quote
- Exactly what is included and what would cost extra — imaging, extractions, grafting, temporary teeth, the final restoration.
- The brand and material, and the warranty period in writing.
- The number of trips and visits, and who pays if you need to come back.
- What happens if you need corrective work — and who pays for it, including flights and hotel.
Check the unit before you compare implant prices
The reference range above is for the unit named beside it. Implant quotes are easy to mis-compare because clinics use different units: a price for one implant, a price that includes the crown on top, a price for a set of implants, or a price per arch for a full-arch treatment. All-on-4, for instance, is quoted per arch, so the All-on-4 cost page should not be read beside a single-implant price without adjusting for that. Whatever the unit, the number that matters is the total for the whole plan in writing.
How to line up two implant quotes
Ask each clinic to fill in the same items. A blank or “to be confirmed” is itself useful information.
| Quote item | What to check |
|---|---|
| Number and position of implants | The same number of implants in both plans, and the reason for that number. |
| Implant system | Brand and system named in writing, and whether a dentist in the UK could source parts for it. |
| The tooth on top | Whether the crown, bridge or denture is in the price, its material, and whether a temporary tooth is included. |
| Preparation work | Scans, extractions and any bone graft: included, priced separately, or “if needed” with no price. |
| Anaesthesia and sedation | Whether the type planned is in the price. |
| Warranty and remedial work | How long, what it covers, and who pays for corrective work — including flights and hotel — if something needs putting right. |
| Schedule | How many trips and nights the plan needs. Our note on how many implant visits may be needed explains why this varies. |
Costs that are not in the quote
A clinic’s quote covers its own treatment. Flights and accommodation for each trip, meals, time off work and any local transport sit outside it, and staged treatment can mean more than one trip. Follow-up at home is a further cost to ask your own dentist about, since implants are usually private treatment in the UK. The trip itself is covered in what to plan and pack for a dental trip to Istanbul. We deliberately do not put a figure on these: they depend on when you fly, where you stay and how long the plan takes.
Is it worth it?
A lower price is only part of the decision. For a small amount of work, flights, accommodation and time away can cancel out much of the difference; for larger cases the difference can be larger than the cost of the trip. Your own quote decides which side of that you are on.
The General Dental Council, which regulates dental professionals in the UK, advises anyone considering treatment abroad to speak to their own dentist first, and to ask who pays for extra flights, hotel and remedial work if something needs putting right, and whether further treatment is included in the initial cost. It also notes it cannot guarantee that an organisation like it exists in other countries or that standards are the same.
How Clinicest is paid: it is free for patients and designed to be paid by partner clinics, so we have a commercial interest in patients going ahead. That is why we say where each figure comes from, and why you should compare more than one written treatment plan. Read our editorial policy.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a dental implant cost in Turkey?
Clinicest’s reference range in Turkey is €450–900 per implant, with abutment and crown (about £387–774). Published UK private price guides quote £1,800–4,500 per implant, with abutment and crown. These are indicative ranges, not quotes: the price you can rely on is the one in a clinic’s written treatment plan after it has examined you.
Is it safe to get dental implants abroad?
It depends on the clinic, the dentist and your own health, as it does anywhere. The UK General Dental Council advises speaking to your own dentist first, asking who will carry out the treatment and how they are regulated, and getting the warranty, aftercare and the cost of any remedial work in writing. It also notes that it cannot guarantee that standards abroad are the same as in the UK.
How many trips do I need for dental implants?
It varies. A common pattern is one trip for placement and a temporary tooth and a second for the final crown once the implant has healed, but some clinics quote a single longer stay. Ask for the schedule and the clinical reason for it in writing. A bone graft usually adds time.
What if I have a problem after I return to the UK?
Ask before you book: who pays for corrective work, including flights and hotel; how long the work is guaranteed; and whether further treatment is included in the initial cost. Also ask which implant system was used and get a copy of your records, so a UK dentist can see exactly what was placed.
