Is It Cheaper to Get Dental Implants in Turkey? The Honest Maths
Turkey Implant Cost — Editorial
Specialist Prosthodontist · Taki Dent, Antalya
Is it cheaper to get dental implants in Turkey? The short answer is yes — usually by a wide margin — but the honest answer depends on how many teeth you are treating and whether you count the cost of travel. This page does the full maths in pounds so you can decide for your own case.
The treatment price, side by side
Before travel, here is the 2026 picture in GBP:
| Treatment | Turkey | UK private | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single implant + crown | £750–£1,400 | £2,400–£3,400 | ~£1,500–£2,000 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | £4,500–£7,500 | £14,000–£22,000 | ~£9,500–£14,500 |
| Full mouth (both arches) | £8,500–£18,000 | £28,000–£56,000 | ~£20,000–£38,000 |
Across the board, the headline saving is 60–70%. Model your own plan on the calculator or read the Turkey cost vs UK breakdown.
Now add travel — the honest part
To judge whether it is genuinely cheaper, add the cost of getting there: flights are £120–£300 return from the UK to Antalya. Accommodation and airport transfers are included by most leading Antalya clinics, so for many patients the only real extra is the flight and meals.
- Single tooth: saving ~£1,500–£2,000, travel ~£300–£500. Still cheaper, but the margin is modest — best combined with other work or a holiday.
- Two or three implants: saving ~£3,000–£6,000, travel the same ~£300–£500. Clearly cheaper.
- Full-arch / full mouth: saving £15,000–£38,000, travel a rounding error by comparison. Overwhelmingly cheaper.
Where it might NOT be cheaper
If you genuinely need only one implant, are nervous about flying, or would have to take unpaid leave for two trips, the single-tooth maths can tighten. Aftercare is the other consideration: if an adjustment is needed later, your clinic is a flight away — so a clinic with a UK liaison and remote support matters. Reputable clinics plan for this; budget operators do not.
How to make it as cheap as it should be
Combine treatments into one trip, choose a clinic that bundles hotel and transfers, fix your price in GBP at booking, and request an anonymous quote first via so you can compare without sharing your details. Crucially, do not chase the lowest number — a quote that omits the crown or uses an unbranded implant is a false economy, because a failed implant costs far more to put right.
The clinic we recommend
For UK patients we recommend Taki Dent in Antalya (9.8/10 editorial score, compiled from Google, Trustpilot, WhatClinic feedback): globally recognised implant brands, a lifetime implant guarantee, hotel and VIP transfers included, and a dedicated UK liaison — at the Turkey prices in the table.

Frequently asked questions
Is it cheaper to get dental implants in Turkey than the UK?
Yes. A complete implant tooth is £750–£1,400 in Turkey versus £2,400–£3,400 in the UK, and All-on-4 is £4,500–£7,500 per arch versus £14,000–£22,000. Even after travel, UK patients typically save 60–70%.
Does travel cancel out the saving?
For a single tooth the saving is close to the trip cost, so the value shows most on multiple implants and full-arch work. On All-on-4 you usually save £8,000–£15,000 per arch after travel, and many clinics include the hotel.
