Where can you save the most on dental implants and other dental treatments?

Many dental tourism patients choose to seek treatments abroad, primarily because they can save between 40% and 70% compared to the costs in their home countries.

Turkey is widely regarded as one of the best destinations for dental tourism due to its exceptional dental services and affordability. At our clinic, Smiles Turkey, we provide all our patients with state-of-the-art technology and treatment options offered by expert dentists."
Most patients come for implants since it is the most expensive dental intervention in other countries, however it is not so complicated. Some dentists say, it is simpler to insert an implant inthe jaw than to fill a decaying tooth.
Some people think placement of a dental screw is a real surgery and you have to spend a few days at the clinic without returning to your home or hotel. Thanks to cutting-edge dental technologies and our experienced dentists, placement of implants is a simple treatment and after the intervention you can leave the dental office and can do your daily activity.
Let’s see the average dental implant prices in Europe. Please, note, prices may vary due to implant types, location of the office and warranty conditions. The prices below exclude sinus lift or bone grafting – they only include the dental implant/screw itself and surgical fee.

Our dental clinic in Antalya undertakes lifetime warranty to all implants. Turkey/Antalya price refers to our clinic’s fee.

The placement of a single implant does not solve the problem of a tooth gap as additional items are needed to restore chew and speech ability. A total tooth replacement includes a dental implant, abutment, healing screw and porcelain fused to metal crown. This is what the majority of our clients ask for at our clinic and very rarely only the placement of a single implant.

Let’s see price comparison of a total tooth replacement:


You can see there are significant differences between Western European and Eastern European countries on dental rates, however, the quality of treatment is the same.
The more treatment you need, the more you can save with dentists in Antalya.
Lots of people come from the UK or Ireland even for one implant so treatment costs with flights and accommodation is still cheaper than treatment in the UK or Ireland. Antalya is located in the heart of Europe, so it can be reached with one- or two-and-a-half hour flights from nearly any part of Europe. Affordable accommodation is possible to book at a rate of 40-70EUR/night.

A new industry – Dental tourism Turkey

In recent years, it seems that the way people think about dental health care service they use has changed.
“Is it really true that the most expensive treatment is the best one?” This is the question that thousands of English, French, Irish and Swiss people ask themselves every day in Europe. The answer is provided by a new medical service industry which is specialized in making high quality but affordable dental services for those who either can not afford to pay the dental expenses of their home country or recognize the fact that at a fraction of the costs of their home dentists they can get top quality dental treatments from well-trained dentists and implant experts in Antalya.

More and more patients seek dental treatment in Turkey‘s tourism capital, Antalya – thanks to its affordable dental treatment costs, full and high-quality dental care, cutting-edge dental clinics, low cost flights, the spas and thermal hotels and many more tourist attractions.

However, low costs seem to be the most attractive factor as treatments are 40-70% cheaper than treatments in most UK, French, Irish and Swiss dental clinics.

Dental tourism plays an increasingly important role these days.

Now there’s a third option. Get dental treatment in a country where the cost of treatment is much lower, mainly due to much lower wages. In such cases, the patient is looking for a destination with conditions roughly similar to that of his or her country.

Dental tourism patients suppose that in that country there is a serious professional, technical and educational background and the quality of treatment will not be of lower quality than they receive home.

Turkey, particularly Antalya matches these expectations.

Earlier, it was natural that people saw their own dentists, and they did not even think of other city –not another country – to travel to and get dental treatments there. However, nowadays more and more people come to Turkey for treatment. They are called dental tourism patients.

Why dental tourists come to Turkey for dental treatments?

Costs

In many Western European countries dental treatments are very expensive, so many people not only seek dental treatment in their home countries but they try to find other low cost dental services abroad. Antalya and other cities in Turkey are one of the top destinations for dental tourism patients.

Availability

In some cases, it also happens that the treatment you want to receive is simply not available in your home country. It might happen with some more complicated dental implant treatments.

Long-period

After the cost benefits long waiting period is the second most common reason of dental tourists. In some countries, there are long waiting times at cheap state-funded surgeries, but at private dental practices there are no waiting lists. However, their prices are prohibitively expensive, so patients look for more affordable dental solutions abroad.

Quality

There are places where the quality of more affordable local dental services are known to be not the best, so many people set off to get higher standard treatments abroad.

Loneliness

The oral health is a sensitive area, in a sense it is part of the intimate sphere. We do not want to talk about it, and rather keep it as a secret if we have problems with our teeth.

Therefore, there are people who prefer to spend the time alone until they reach the end of a major dental treatment. The easiest way to be alone, and guaranteed not to meet friends and acquaintances, is when you fly to a distant but still easily accessible country and get your teeth fixed there.

Due to low cost airlines, Antalya and some other cities of Turkey can be reached easily. So many people travel for this reason, and only friends can see the new, shining teeth.

If you travel for some other reason.

There are many who link business or holiday travel with their dental treatment if they travel to a country or city that is a popular dental tourism destination.

Turkey dental tourism – How long dental tourism patients stay in Turkey

Patients usually stay 3-8 workdays in Turkey during a visit.

They do not have appointments every day as dental lab works are also needed between treatments.

Patients have appointments every second day on average and spend about 10 hours in the clinic during a visit.

Antalya and Turkey has many attractions to visit and leisure time activities for the days with no treatment. However, it might happen that patients’ teeth are sensitive so they are reluctant to participate in any event.

Follow-up

Dental tourism patients in Turkey generally receive a guarantee of years to lifetime, depending on the treatment received. If within the warranty period any problems occur, the patient contacts the dental clinic or agency and discusses what to do to solve the problem.

It is important to point out that to maintain warranty, patients have to take part in the annual checkup which is free.

The problem will be assessed and the patient receives a proposal to solve the problem. If the nature of the problem makes it necessary to get warranty treatment in Turkey, then the clinic of Smiles Turkey carries it out for free, and travel and accommodation costs are also covered by the patient’s insurance package.

When dental treatments are finished in Turkey, before leaving the country dental tourism patients get a so-called “Passport and certificate.”

This is a small booklet that contains the details about what treatment the patient received. If they received dental implants, then it is called „implant passport” that describes the exact type and size of dental implants that were placed in the patient’s jaw. It also includes warranty period of dental implants.
