How Much Can You Save with Dental Tourism in Turkey?

18 min read
TL;DR

Dental treatment in Turkey costs 50-70% less than in Europe. Total cost for 8 veneers including flights and hotel is around €2,000 (vs £6,000+ in the UK). Single implant total €800 (vs £2,500 UK). Full-mouth All-on-4 total €8,000 (vs £20,000+ UK). Smile & Holiday offers all-inclusive packages.

The Real Cost Breakdown

Dental treatment prices vary enormously from country to country. While a visit to the dentist in Europe can represent a serious financial burden, the same quality of treatment is available in Turkey at far more affordable prices. This is not because of lower quality but because of reduced operating costs, competitive laboratory fees, and a favourable exchange rate.

Dental clinics in Turkey use internationally recognised materials. Our clinics work with globally trusted implant brands such as Straumann and Nobel Biocare, as well as premium porcelain materials like IPS e.max and zirconia. Quality is never compromised.
