What is the price of a dental implant in Turkey?
A dental implant in Turkey costs £300 to £750 in 2026, compared with £1,800 to £2,800 in the UK. The price depends on the brand of the implant. Treatment requires two separate visits several months apart, and the quote should state whether the crown, scan and accommodation are included.
📊 Comparative price table 2026: Turkey and the UK
This table compares 2026 prices in Turkey and the UK for a single implant with its abutment, an implant placed with its crown, and full arches fixed on four or six implants. Arch prices are per arch, implant prices are per implant placed.
| Type of procedure | Price in Turkey | Price in the UK |
|---|---|---|
| Dental implant + abutment | £400 - £700 | £1,800 - £2,800 |
| Complete pack (implant + crown) | £400 - £650 | £2,500 - £3,800 |
| All-on-4 (full arch) | £2,200 - £4,800 | £12,000 - £18,000 |
| All-on-6 (full arch) | £3,100 - £5,000 | £15,000 - £20,000 |
What is the price of a dental implant for a full jaw?
To replace all the teeth in one jaw, the All-on-4 technique fixes a full prosthesis onto four implants. In Turkey, expect £2,200 to £4,800 per arch, compared with £12,000 to £18,000 per arch in the UK. With six implants, the All-on-6 costs £3,100 to £5,000 per arch.
For both jaws, meaning a full mouth, the All-on-4 costs £4,500 to £8,700 in Turkey, compared with £25,000 to £35,000 in the UK. Dentures and removable implant-supported prostheses are covered in the guide dedicated to dentures in Turkey.
What does an all-inclusive dental implant package in Turkey include?
An all-inclusive dental implant package can cover the implant, abutment, crown, accommodation and transfers, but its content varies from clinic to clinic. The table separates the implant with abutment from the pack with crown: compare two quotes line by line, for equal content.
Three factors affect the final bill. The crown and its material, first. The 3D scan (CBCT), next. Finally, a bone graft or sinus lift when bone is lacking: this need only becomes clear after the scan, and it must appear on the quote before departure.

📈 Dental implant survival rates
The survival of a dental implant reaches 96.4% at 10 years, and 93.2% when counting patients lost to follow-up, according to a 2019 meta-analysis of adults, with no data specific to Turkey[1]. Survival measures the implant still in place, not the absence of complications.
Over twenty years, data are scarcer. A 2024 meta-analysis estimates that about four implants in five are still in place at 20 years, based on few studies and small sample sizes, which the authors acknowledge[2].
Failures occur mostly early on. In an Israeli registry of 158,824 implants, 2.21% failed, including 1.56% during the bone healing phase; the study covers a single insurer and a single country[3].
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium or zirconia, screwed into the jawbone. After healing, it holds an abutment and then a crown, which replaces the missing tooth. Several implants can also support a bridge or a full arch.
The crown can sometimes be fitted very early, known as immediate loading. For a single implant, published randomised trials show no difference in survival compared with delayed placement, under suitable clinical conditions[4].
🇹🇷 Why choose Turkey for your implants?
What is the price difference between Turkey and the UK?
An implant costs £300 to £750 in Turkey, compared with £1,800 to £2,800 in the UK. No data compares the practice of Turkish dentists and British dentists. The choice of implant matters a great deal: £330 to £400 for a locally made implant, £600 to £750 for a Straumann®.
Accommodation and transfers are included in some packages and not in others. Whether staff speak English should be checked before booking, as should the language in which the quote, operative report and warranty are written.
⚠️ Points to consider and drawbacks
The distance involved is the main drawback of treatment abroad. A complication after returning home may require another trip. Before signing, check what the clinic’s warranty covers: the implant alone, or also the flight and hotel for a second visit.
The return flight should be planned too. Authors specialising in dental tourism suggest waiting at least 72 hours after an implant is placed and at least two weeks after a sinus lift, with one week being preferable for most procedures[5]. These are guidelines, not a standard.
🏥 Quality of care and certifications
Some hospitals in Istanbul, such as Acibadem or Memorial, highlight a JCI accreditation, awarded by the Joint Commission International, which assesses the quality and safety of care. It can be checked in the organisation’s online directory, hospital by hospital.
For a dental practice, ask for the name of the dentist who will place the implant and their registration with the Turkish Dental Association, the Türk Dişhekimleri Birliği. An itemised quote, naming the implant’s brand and reference, allows offers to be compared.
🦷 Price by implant brand (2026 rates)
| Implant brand | Implant price | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Local premium implant | £330 - £400 | Locally made, brand to be confirmed on the quote |
| Bego® / Osstem® | £420 - £480 | German / Korean brands |
| Nobel Biocare® | £560 - £650 | Swedish-origin brand |
| Straumann® | £600 - £750 | Swiss brand |
🩺 Are you eligible for implants?
To receive an implant, sufficient bone volume is needed, measured by a 3D scan (CBCT) before any decision is made. When bone is lacking, a bone graft or sinus lift precedes placement. General health and gum condition are checked at the same appointment.
In a severely resorbed upper jaw, when a graft is not an option, other anchoring methods exist, such as the zygomatic implant, reserved for specific indications determined by the surgeon.
❌ Contraindications to watch for
Smoking multiplies the risk of implant failure by 2.4, according to a 2022 meta-analysis based on observational studies, in both jaws[6]. One NHS hospital strongly recommends quitting smoking and remaining smoke-free long term[7].
Bruxism, the act of clenching or grinding the teeth, is associated with a higher failure risk (odds ratio of 4.68)[8]. In patients treated for osteoporosis with antiresorptive drugs, osteonecrosis of the jaw occurs in 0.5% of cases[9]: mention this treatment to the surgeon.
✈️ Planning your stay in Istanbul
Treatment takes place over two visits, separated by the healing of the bone around the implant. One British NHS hospital estimates the total duration of implant treatment at 6 to 12 months[7]. On site, the first visit, for placing the implants, is the busiest.
- First visit: consultation, 3D scan, implant placement and, in some cases, a temporary prosthesis.
- Waiting period: bone healing back home, over several months.
- Second visit: impressions, fitting and placement of the final crowns (zirconia or ceramic).
Before leaving the clinic, ask for a document stating the brand, model and dimensions of each implant placed. A dentist back home will need this to source compatible parts, and the full file makes follow-up easier.
🏥 Recommended clinics
- Acibadem Healthcare Group: Private hospital group with JCI accreditation.
- Memorial Healthcare Group: Private hospital network with JCI accreditation.
- Medicana International: Private hospital group that welcomes international patients.
The price of an all-inclusive dental implant depends on the number of implants, the brand chosen and the bone volume, which only an examination with a 3D scan can assess before your medical trip.
❓ FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Are Turkish dental implants safe?
No study measures implant survival by country. A 2019 meta-analysis puts survival at 96.4% at 10 years, 93.2% when counting patients lost to follow-up[1]. Check the brand placed, the practitioner and the facility’s accreditation.
How much does a complete implant cost in Turkey?
An implant placed with its crown costs £400 to £650 in Turkey, compared with £2,500 to £3,800 in the UK. The hotel, transfers and interpreter are only included in some packages: the quote should list them one by one.
How many visits are needed for an implant in Turkey?
Usually two visits: the first for the scan and implant placement, the second for the final crown, after several months of bone healing. Immediate loading can shorten this timeframe.
Can follow-up after an implant placed in Turkey be done in the UK?
Yes, a dentist in the UK can provide follow-up care, at your own expense. A lack of regular maintenance is associated with more failures (odds ratio of 3.76) according to a 2023 meta-analysis[10]. Bring the file and the implant reference details.
What should you do in case of a complication after returning home?
First contact the clinic with photos and an X-ray, then see a dentist back home if the pain persists. Before you leave, check what the clinic’s warranty and your own insurance cover in case of an unplanned return.
Are implants covered by the NHS?
NHS dental implants are only provided in limited circumstances, and private implants are generally not covered. Check with the NHS or your dental insurer to find out what applies to your own situation.
How to choose between All-on-4 and single implants?
All-on-4 treats a fully edentulous jaw, from £2,200 per arch. A single implant replaces one isolated tooth for £300 to £750. Bone volume, assessed by 3D scan, and the number of teeth to be replaced guide the choice.
What long-term complication should be monitored after an implant?
Peri-implantitis, inflammation of the tissue around the implant that can destroy bone, affects 19.53% of patients according to a 2022 meta-analysis, with variation depending on the definition used[13]. Regular check-ups detect it early.
