Dental Implants in Turkey: Cost, Procedure
Implant dental treatment in Turkey is one of the treatments usually applied by international patients with dental tourism planning. Before addressing the topics of interest regarding implant dental treatment, it is necessary to give a brief information about dental health tourism. Dental tourism is traveling to another country for dental treatment.
Although there are many reasons that lead patients to dental tourism, the main reasons are: attractive prices, advantageous offers, successful treatment, services with high quality and quality standards, clinical conditions that prioritize patient comfort and experience, and vacation opportunities. Let us examine the advantages of dental tourism, which is an important part of health tourism, specific to Turkey.
Advantages of Implant Dental Treatment in Turkey
Advantageous Cost Offers
Implant dental treatment in Turkey is available at much more attractive prices than in many other countries, especially in continental Europe. The same advantageous situation applies not only for implant treatment but also for other surgical treatments and aesthetic dentistry applications.
High Quality Standard
The fact that the cost of dental implants in Turkey is lower than in Europe does not necessarily mean that the success of the treatment and the quality of the materials used in the treatment are lower. Because low price is not always a factor that negatively affects quality. Many modern dental clinics operating in Turkey offer services at international standards with the quality of materials and technology used in the treatment.
Short Waiting Times
Dental treatments, especially extensive procedures such as implants, can have long waiting times. Longer waiting times and longer intervals between sessions are not desirable for patients. Turkey stands out with a variety of clinics that offer flexible services in terms of waiting times and appointment intervals.
Patient Experience
Many clinics operating in Turkey care about patient comfort and experience while planning within the framework of dental tourism. Under clinical conditions with high comfort standards, it is quite possible to benefit from a service approach that takes patient comfort as a reference.
Treatment and Vacation Combination
Turkey, which stands out as a popular destination for international patients who want to combine dental treatment with a nice vacation experience and explore different geographies during the treatment process, is an ideal location with its seas, deep history, cultural heritage and unique geography.
Factors Affecting the Cost of Dental Implants in Turkey
The cost of dental implants in Turkey is a matter of curiosity, especially for international patients who want to choose Turkey for dental tourism. For this reason, it would be useful to look at the prices of dental tourism in Turkey for those who have chosen Turkey as a destination. In this context, let us examine the prices of dental implants in Turkey through several different expense items:
Implant Features
The prices of implant dental treatment in Turkey are shaped by the implant to be used in the treatment. Factors such as the number of implants to be used, the quality of the implant, its suitability for aesthetic
appearance, duration and quality of use, etc. directly affect the cost. In addition, the conditions and standards of the clinic where the treatment will be performed and the professional competence, experience and success of the clinic staff are also decisive on the cost.
Extra Procedure
For the successful implementation of implant dental treatment, it is sometimes necessary to resort to additional procedures – decided by the dentist’s evaluation depending on the case. If extra procedures such as bone grafting, sinus augmentation, gingival grafts are required, it should be kept in mind that the costs of these procedures will also affect the cost of the implant teeth.
Sometimes a bone graft is required for dental implants. If the patient’s jawbone is not at a level suitable for the implant technique, bone grafting is required. Bone graft prices are also determined based on various criteria, especially the clinic and personnel where the procedure will be performed. Bone grafting is performed to ensure that the jawbone has a favorable volume so that the implant can be successfully completed.
If the sinuses in the upper jaw need to be lifted, sinus elevation is an option. Sinus elevation aims to raise the jawbone to the required height for the implant placement in the upper jaw. If the patient’s gums are not sufficient, gingival graft application is used. With this application, it is aimed to strengthen the gums and gain an aesthetic appearance.
Veneer Applications
Veneers can be applied after implant dental treatment. If veneer solutions are used, the cost of the veneer is also taken into account when calculating the cost of implant dental treatment. There are several different types of veneers used in veneer dental application. Which veneer will be applied is determined by the dentist, taking into account the expectations and needs of the patient.
Clinical and Staff Standard
The equipment and location of the clinic and the expertise of the dentist have a direct impact on the cost of implant teeth. If a destination favorable to dental tourism is preferred in terms of location, the cost of treatment may increase. On the other hand, the technological competence and conditions of the clinic are also among the items that cause an increase in pricing.
Being treated by a dentist with high experience, success, profile power and expertise in implant dental applications is another item that increases the cost of implant dental treatment. Being treated by experienced dentists in private clinics with centralized locations naturally requires a higher cost compared to other alternatives.
Optional Services
Within the scope of dental tourism in Turkey, various packages and optional services can be offered to international patients who want to have implant dental treatment. For example, it should not be ignored that the cost of implant treatment will increase if activities such as special welcome at the airport, hotel reservation, planning of the vacation process, etc. are requested.
Conclusion
Although dental implant treatment in Turkey varies from clinic to clinic, it is generally offered at international standards and with a cost advantage, especially compared to European countries. However, it should be reiterated that the cost will vary according to criteria such as clinic, dentist, health personnel, material quality, additional applications, optional services, etc.

Dental Implant Treatment Procedure
The implant dental technique provides treatment of missing teeth. The implant application, which is based on a comprehensive and serious procedure, is usually completed in several sessions. It is important that the process is carried out by a specialized and experienced dentist in order to achieve success in the treatment. Post-procedure care, controls, clinic conditions and many other factors also have a direct impact on the success of the treatment. Now, let’s examine the procedure step by step.
Preliminary Assessment, Inspection and Planning
During the dental examination, the missing tooth area, oral and dental health and general health status are evaluated. Taking into account the medical history, the process is planned when it is concluded that the current health status is favorable.
Imaging and Analysis
X-rays are taken to analyze the condition of the jawbone and teeth. Three-dimensional tomography is used to evaluate the area where the implant will be placed.
Customization of the Treatment Plan
The location of the implant, the type of implant to be used and additional procedures, if deemed necessary, are clarified. Again, the cost proposal and schedule are clarified.
Anesthesia
Before the implant placement step, it is aimed to prevent pain in the area with the help of local anesthesia.
Surgical Procedure
The gum is cut to open the area where the implant will be placed. Implants made of titanium are screwed into the jawbone. At this stage, placing the implants in the correct position is important for the success of the procedure.
Recovery Process
The osseointegration process, which we can refer to as the fusion of the implant and the jawbone, usually takes three to six months. At this stage, the implant shows a solid integration with the jawbone.
Control and Monitoring
At this stage, periodic visits to the dentist are important for the successful completion of the healing process. A temporary dental prosthesis can also be used at this stage.
Veneer Applications
After the gums around the implant have healed, dental veneers or crowns can be applied. In order for the crowns to fit properly, an impression is taken by the dentist and the crown prepared according to this special impression is fixed on the implant. Finally, the aesthetic appearance and compatibility with the tooth are checked.
Long Term Care
For the long-term use of the implant, it is necessary to be sensitive in dental cleaning and dental controls. It will be useful to pay attention to oral hygiene in order to prevent bacterial infections around the implant.
Eating Habits and Lifestyle
Limiting the consumption of hard foods, stopping smoking and alcohol consumption, and following a healthy and balanced nutrition program will be a very useful approach for both recovery and the aftermath.
Things to Consider
There are some important issues to be considered and evaluated by international patients who want to receive implant dental treatment in Turkey within the scope of dental tourism planning. For a good treatment planning, let’s express the important issues you may encounter in this process and what you should pay attention to while determining your approach to these issues with the help of a table:
Clinic and Dentist Research | Evaluate the conditions, standards, equipment technology and adequacy of dental clinics. Check out patient reviews about the dentist. Review the dentist’s career to get an idea about his/her professional success. |
Quality and Safety Standard | Find out more about the hygiene and safety standards of the clinics and make your choice based on this information. |
Language and Communication | To avoid communication problems during the treatment process, find out if there are staff with whom you can speak in your mother tongue. |
Package and Price Offer | Find out what is included in the package offered to you. To avoid any surprises in the process, clarify the price and ask for the service items included in the offer to be shared with you. |
Insurance and Guarantee | Evaluate the guarantee conditions after treatment and the insurance options available to you, in particular international health insurance. |
Treatment and Vacation Planning | Request that your vacation schedule be taken into account when determining treatment steps and session intervals. |
Travel, Events and Accommodatio n | Clarify your travel, activity and accommodation plans in advance so that your comfort is not negatively affected during the treatment process. Complete your program by taking into account the additional services offered by the clinic. |
Maintenance and Inspections | Ask the clinic for detailed information about aftercare and follow-up appointments. Ask for information about long-term results before the procedure. |
Legal Regulations, Cultural Differences | Examine the destination destination’s health law legislation, legal requirements and cultural differences of the region. |
FAQ
In rare cases, All-On-6 is not suitable for some patients. In the initial consultation, the dentist will perform medical examinations to determine the patient’s suitability for treatment, including assessing any chronic disease or unfavourable health conditions.
The role of the patient in looking after their dental health post-treatment is extremely important. You should always use toothbrushes and dental floss as recommended by your dentist, and to see your dentist for regular check-ups.
In some cases where people have had missing teeth for a long time, the sinus cavity sags downwards and the bone structure is weakened. In these cases, sinus lifting is needed before All-On-6 implants can be inserted. In this procedure, the sinus membrane is lifted upwards and materials are placed to encourage bone formation. This makes it possible to place the implants. After sinus lifting, bone grafting may still be required for people with insufficient bone density in the area to be operated on. Bone grafting produces the required amount of bone to support the implants.
Just like after any other surgical intervention, there can be mild pain after the procedure. In some cases, pain may be accompanied by swelling, which is also natural. Your dentist will prescribe painkillers to minimise any pain following treatment.
The most important purpose of the diet during the weeks following treatment is to ensure that the implant and bone fuse together in a healthy way. Your dentist will provide information about the diet that should be followed after the treatment.
