Why get dental treatment in Turkey?
In 2024 more than one million people travelled to Turkey for dental care and smile design. Here is why it has become one of the world’s main destinations for dental treatment.
50–70% lower prices
Lower running costs and a favourable exchange rate mean the same treatment costs far less than in the UK, Germany or the US — often even with travel included.
Experienced, high-volume dentists
Turkish implant and cosmetic dentists carry out a very high number of cases each year, with in-house labs for fast, precise crown and veneer work.
Modern clinics and technology
3D CBCT imaging, digital scanning and CAD/CAM production are standard in the clinics that treat international patients.
Premium materials
Reputable clinics use the same implant systems and ceramics as Europe — Straumann, Osstem, Ivoclar — not unbranded alternatives.
Short treatment times
With planning done in advance, most treatments finish in 5–7 days. Implants need a short second trip for the final teeth.
A trip worth taking
Istanbul is a major world city with direct flights from most of Europe, so recovery time doubles as a short holiday.
Is it safe?
Dental clinics that treat international patients in Turkey are licensed and inspected by the Turkish Ministry of Health, and many follow international hygiene and sterilisation standards.
As anywhere, quality varies between providers. Choose a clinic that plans your case in writing before you travel, uses named implant and ceramic brands, gives a written guarantee, and lets you speak to the dentist directly beforehand.
Dentritz gives you a detailed plan, a fixed price and a video call with your dentist before you book anything.
