Dental Tourism Turkey Guide. Every year, millions of people from the UK, Europe, the USA and beyond pack their bags and head to Turkey. They come not just for the sun soaked beaches or the historic grandeur of the Bosphorus, but for a different kind of transformation: a brand new smile. Turkey has rapidly ascended to become the global capital of dental tourism. But why? Is it simply about finding the lowest price? While the cost savings are undeniable, the true allure lies in the unique convergence of high tech dentistry, unparalleled speed and luxury hospitality. It is an experience where world class medical care meets the comfort of a holiday. Patients are discovering that they no longer have to choose between quality and affordability. In Istanbul, they can have both, wrapped in a VIP experience that turns a dental appointment into a life changing journey.
Dental Holiday Turkey Packages 2026
As we look towards 2026, the concept of a “dental trip” has evolved into a fully curated “Dental Holiday.” Clinics like International Plus have redefined the standard of care. Our dental holiday Turkey packages 2026 are designed to remove every ounce of stress from the process. These are not just medical appointments; they are all inclusive experiences. When you book a package, you are not just paying for a dentist. You are securing:
- 5 Star Accommodation: Stays in luxury hotels located conveniently close to the clinic and city attractions.
- VIP Transfer: A private chauffeur and luxury vehicle dedicated to your airport, hotel and clinic transfers.
- Personal Assistance: A dedicated host who speaks your language and guides you through every step, from the moment you land until you depart.
- Tourism Opportunities: The chance to explore the Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar or enjoy a Bosphorus cruise between appointments. The goal is to make you feel like a pampered guest first and a patient second.
Cost of Full Mouth Dental Implants
The financial argument for dental tourism is compelling. In countries like the UK or the USA, facing a bill for full mouth rehabilitation can be financially crippling, often costing upwards of £25,000 to £50,000. This places essential care out of reach for many. In Turkey, the cost of full mouth dental implants is dramatically lower often offering savings of up to 70%. Yet, this lower cost does not equate to lower quality. Turkish clinics utilize the same premium, globally recognized implant brands (like Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Osstem) used in Western clinics. The savings come from lower operational costs, not cheaper materials. You can receive a full set of implants and fixed zirconia bridges for a fraction of the price, performed by surgeons who place thousands of implants a year.
Same Day Dentistry Turkey
One of the biggest frustrations with traditional dentistry is the waiting time. Weeks for a crown, months for an implant. Turkey has embraced digital speed. Thanks to advanced CAD/CAM technology and on site laboratories, many clinics now offer Same Day Dentistry Turkey services. Using intraoral scanners (like CEREC), dentists can take a digital impression of your teeth in seconds no messy putty required. This data is sent to a milling machine that carves your porcelain crown or veneer from a solid block of ceramic while you wait. What used to take two weeks can now often be completed in a single afternoon, allowing you to maximize your holiday time.
Dental Tourism Process Steps
Navigating a medical trip abroad can seem daunting, but the process is structured and simple:
- Online Consultation: You send your dental photos and X-rays (if available) via WhatsApp or email.
- Treatment Plan & Quote: Our medical team analyzes your case and provides a detailed treatment plan with a fixed price quote.
- Booking: You choose your dates and book your flights. We arrange your hotel and transfers.
- Arrival & VIP Welcome: Our driver meets you at the airport and takes you to your hotel.
- Treatment: You attend your appointments. For veneers, this is typically a 5 to 7 day stay. For implants, it may require two visits.
- Tourism: In between visits, you enjoy Istanbul.
- Final Fitting & Departure: You leave with your new smile and a guarantee certificate.
Dental Implants Warranty Turkey
Trust is the cornerstone of dental tourism. How do you know your investment is safe? Reputable clinics in Turkey stand firmly behind their work. At International Plus, we offer a lifetime warranty on dental implants and extensive warranties on crowns and veneers. This means that if a structural failure occurs with the implant screw itself, it will be replaced free of charge. We provide every patient with an “Implant Passport” or certificate that details the brand, size and lot number of the implants used. This document is recognized globally, ensuring that any dentist in the world knows exactly what was placed in your mouth.
As Dr. Eren from International Plus states: ‘We don’t just treat teeth; we build relationships. Every implant we place comes with an international warranty passport, giving our patients peace of mind knowing they are covered globally.’
Dental Treatment Timeline
Understanding the timeline is crucial for planning your trip.
- Veneers / Crowns / Hollywood Smile: This is typically completed in one visit of 5 to 7 days. This allows for preparation, production and the final “smile trial” and bonding.
- Dental Implants: This usually requires two visits. The first visit (3-5 days) is for placing the implants. You then return home for 3-6 months to allow the bone to heal and fuse with the implant (osseointegration). The second visit (5-7 days) is to place the permanent crowns or bridges.
- All on 4 Implants: Often, temporary fixed teeth can be placed during the first visit so you are never without teeth, with the permanent set placed on the second visit.
Saving Money On Dental Care
The savings go beyond the procedure fee. In many Western countries, every X-ray, every consultation and every prescription is an additional charge. In Turkey, these are standard inclusions. Saving money on dental care here means:
- Free Consultation: Initial assessment and X-rays are often free.
- No Prescription Costs: Post op antibiotics and painkillers are provided.
- No Transport Costs: Your transfers are included.
- Affordable Luxury: Dining and shopping in Istanbul are significantly cheaper than in London or New York, adding value to your trip.
Top Dental Clinics In Istanbul
With hundreds of clinics, how do you choose? The top dental clinics in Istanbul share specific characteristics:
- Accreditation: Look for ISO certifications and authorizations from the Turkish Ministry of Health.
- Experience: Clinics like International Plus have been serving international patients for years with proven track records.
- Technology: They use the latest 3D Tomography (CBCT) and laser technology.
- Language: They have fluent English speaking dentists and coordinators.
- Reviews: They have genuine, verifiable patient testimonials and before and after photos.
Travel Tips For Dental Patients
- Visa: Check if you need an e-visa to enter Turkey (easy to obtain online).
- Flights: Istanbul has two major airports (IST and SAW). Check which one is closer to your clinic/hotel, though our transfers cover both.
- Packing: Bring comfortable clothes. For dental patients, avoiding very hot or very cold foods is advised after surgery, so plan for soft meals initially.
- Currency: Credit cards are widely accepted, but having some Turkish Lira for small shops is useful.
- Timing: Avoid peak summer if you dislike heat; spring and autumn are beautiful times to visit.
Turkey Teeth Packages
Our packages are tailored to specific needs:
- Hollywood Smile Package: Includes 20-24 E-max or Zirconia veneers for a complete makeover.
- All on 4 / All on 6 Package: Includes implants and fixed hybrid dentures for edentulous (toothless) patients.
- Smile Makeover Lite: Includes whitening and minor bonding or fewer veneers for a subtle refresh. Regardless of the package, the promise remains the same: transparent pricing with no hidden costs.
One of our patients, John from Manchester, shares: ‘I was skeptical about going abroad. But International Plus handled everything—the hotel, the driver, the appointments. I saved over £15,000 on my full mouth implants and had a great holiday in Istanbul. It was seamless.’
