How much does a dental implant cost in Turkey?

Published prices for a single implant with its crown are typically £400–£1,100 in Turkey, compared with £2,000–£3,500 privately in the UK. The price depends on the implant brand, the crown material, and whether you need extra work such as a bone graft. Always compare written, all-inclusive quotes.

How many trips do dental implants in Turkey take?

Usually two. On the first trip, of about 5–7 days, the implant is placed. It then needs 3–6 months to fuse with the bone while you're at home. On the second trip, of about 5–7 days, the final crown or bridge is fitted.

Can I get same-day implants in Turkey?

In some cases a temporary tooth or bridge can be fitted on the day or within a few days, which is called immediate loading. It depends on how stable the implant is when it's placed and on your bone quality. The final teeth are still usually fitted months later.

How long do dental implants last?

Implants themselves can last for decades with good care, and published studies report high long-term success rates. The crown on top usually needs replacing at some point, often after 10–15 years. Smoking, gum disease and poor cleaning are the main reasons implants fail.

Does getting implants hurt?

Implant placement is done under local anaesthetic, often with sedation if you're anxious, so you shouldn't feel pain during it. Expect some soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards, usually managed with standard painkillers.

Can a UK dentist look after my implants afterwards?

Yes. Cleaning and checking implants is routine for UK dentists. Bring home the implant brand, system, size and lot numbers so any future repairs are straightforward.

Dental Implants in Turkey: Cost in GBP, Trips and What to Ask

How dental implants work

An implant is a small titanium or zirconia screw placed in the jawbone where a tooth used to be. Over a few months the bone grows around it and holds it firmly, a process called osseointegration. A connector called an abutment is then fitted, and a crown on top of that.

Implant

Placed in the jawbone under local anaesthetic.

Healing

3–6 months at home while it fuses with the bone.

Crown

Abutment and final crown fitted on your second trip.

Typical published ranges, October 2026. UK prices are private dentist fees. Savings compare the middle of each range. Turkey prices are clinic “from” prices and may not include grafting or extractions. Your quote will.

Many Turkish prices are quoted per implant without the crown, or exclude grafting and scans. Check that a quote includes the implant, abutment, final crown, any temporary teeth, CT scan, hotel and transfers.

What changes the price

The implant brand, the crown material (porcelain-fused-to-metal, zirconia or e.max), how many implants you need, and whether you need a bone graft or sinus lift first.

Two trips, and why it matters

Trip 1

About 5–7 days

Consultation, CT scan, implant placement, and stitches checked before you fly.

Trip 2

About 5–7 days

3–6 months later: abutment, impressions and the final crown or bridge.

The healing gap isn’t a clinic choice; it’s how bone works. Rushing it is one of the most common causes of implant problems. If you have visible gaps, ask about a temporary tooth or denture for the months in between.

Implant brands: why they matter

Implant systems range from premium, long-established brands with decades of research behind them to more affordable systems. The brand affects the price, the long-term evidence and, importantly, how easy it is for a UK dentist to get compatible parts later.

Always ask which brand, in writing

Two quotes for “an implant” can mean very different products. Make sure every quote names the implant brand and system, so you’re comparing like for like.

Not enough bone for implants?

If you’ve had missing teeth for a long time, the jawbone may have shrunk. Many people can still have implants after a bone graft or sinus lift, which adds healing time and cost. For severe bone loss in the upper jaw, zygomatic implants anchor into the cheekbone instead and can avoid grafting altogether.

Risks to know about

Infection or inflammation around the implant (peri-implantitis), often linked to smoking or poor cleaning.
The implant not fusing with the bone, which usually means removing it and trying again after healing.
Nerve or sinus problems, which careful planning with a CT scan helps avoid.

Every treatment carries some risk, wherever you have it. What matters is a clear plan for what happens if something goes wrong. Read our guide to aftercare back in the UK.

Questions to ask any clinic

Who will place my implants, and how many implant cases do they do each year?
Which implant brand and system will you use?
Will my plan be based on a CT scan?
What exactly is included: abutment, crown, temporary teeth, scans, hotel, transfers?
Will I need a bone graft, and is it included in the price?
What's the warranty on the implant and the crown?
Will I get my implant card, X-rays and notes before I fly home?
