The Cost Range in Turkey and Why It Varies

All-on-6 in Turkey is typically quoted at £3,000 to £6,500 per arch, with the variation driven by several factors: the implant brand used, the material of the permanent prosthesis, and the location and tier of the clinic. Istanbul-based clinics serving a largely international clientele tend to sit toward the upper end of this range; clinics in Antalya, which also has a strong dental tourism market, are often slightly more competitive.

At the lower end of the range, some clinics are using lesser-known implant systems with limited clinical track records. At the upper end, you are more likely to find Nobel Biocare or Straumann implants and better-quality prosthesis fabrication. The difference between a £3,000 quote and a £5,500 quote from two different Istanbul clinics is usually the implant brand and the prosthesis material — not the quality of surgery per se.

Full-mouth treatment (both upper and lower arches) in Turkey typically ranges from £6,000 to £13,000, compared with £24,000 to £44,000 in the UK for the same scope of work. The saving is substantial — but only if you are comparing equivalent treatment. Our UK All-on-6 cost guide explains the full component breakdown for reference.

What a Turkish All-on-6 Quote Typically Includes

Reputable Turkish clinics serving international patients typically include the following in a package quote:

  • The CT scan (cone beam CBCT), either pre-arranged before arrival or conducted on day one
  • Implant surgery — placement of six titanium implants per arch
  • The temporary (immediate load) acrylic prosthesis, usually fitted on the day of or day after surgery
  • The permanent prosthesis (material varies — confirm whether acrylic or zirconia is included)
  • Airport and hotel transfers for the duration of the first visit
  • Post-operative medications (antibiotics, pain relief) for the first week
  • Some clinics include one night of hotel accommodation for the surgery visit

Always ask for this list explicitly and in writing. What is described verbally in a consultation and what appears in a signed treatment plan can differ.

What Is Often NOT Included

Even with a seemingly comprehensive package, the following are frequently excluded:

  • Extractions — if you have teeth that need to come out before implant placement, this is almost always charged additionally. Each extraction adds to the cost and may require a longer first visit.
  • Bone grafting — if your CT scan shows insufficient bone volume, grafting is needed. This is a significant addition to the quoted price and extends both the treatment plan and the overall timeline. A quote given before a CT scan cannot account for this.
  • Second trip flights and hotel — the most significant overlooked cost. Two return flights from a UK city to Istanbul or Antalya, plus 3-5 nights of accommodation for the second visit, adds £600 to £1,200 to your realistic total.
  • Complications — if an implant fails to integrate or there is an infection requiring treatment, the associated costs depend entirely on the clinic's policy. Clarify this in writing before committing.
  • UK aftercare — hygiene appointments, monitoring visits, and any prosthesis adjustments done in the UK are your own cost to manage.

Calculating the True Total Cost

The headline quoted price for Turkey treatment is not the number you should use when deciding whether overseas treatment represents a saving. The realistic total looks like this:

For a single-arch All-on-6 with zirconia permanent prosthesis, using a premium implant brand at a reputable Istanbul clinic: quoted price approximately £4,500 to £5,500. Add two return flights from London (approximately £250 to £500 per trip, depending on timing and airline) and hotel for two visits (£50 to £120 per night for 4-6 nights total): total additional travel and accommodation cost of £600 to £1,200.

Realistic total: £5,100 to £6,700 for a single arch with zirconia, including travel. Compare this with £15,000 to £22,000 for the equivalent treatment in the UK. The saving remains very significant — typically £8,000 to £16,000 per arch — even after all travel costs are factored in.

For full-mouth treatment, the saving is proportionally larger, since the travel cost does not double (you make the same two trips regardless of whether one or two arches are treated). This is why many patients who need both arches done choose to combine them into the same treatment plan.

The Brand Question: Why Implant System Matters in Turkey

Not all Turkish clinics use the same implant systems, and this is the single most important factor to investigate before booking. The major internationally recognised brands — Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Dentsply Sirona, and Osstem — have extensive clinical evidence, global component availability, and compatible prosthetic parts that any implant dentist worldwide can work with.

Some Turkish clinics use locally distributed implant systems that are not widely available outside of Turkey. This creates a practical problem: if you ever need a replacement abutment, a component swap, or a prosthesis adjustment from a UK dentist, they may not be able to source compatible parts. This is not a hypothetical concern — it is one of the most common complications UK patients face after overseas implant treatment.

Always ask the clinic to confirm in writing the exact implant brand, model, and dimensions they will use. If they are unable or unwilling to provide this, that is a significant red flag. Our guide to implant brands for All-on-6 explains what documentation you should request and why.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to have All-on-6 implants in Turkey?
It can be, with the right clinic. Turkey has a large number of dental practices catering to international patients, ranging from highly professional clinics with internationally trained surgeons and premium implant systems to lower-grade operations that compete primarily on price. The key is selecting a clinic that uses a well-documented implant brand (Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Osstem), has verifiable credentials, provides a written treatment plan before accepting payment, and is transparent about what the quote includes. The biology of osseointegration is identical regardless of country — what varies is the clinical quality and what happens when things go wrong.
How many trips to Turkey will I need for All-on-6?
Typically two. The first trip covers the CT scan review (if not done remotely), extractions if needed, implant surgery, and fitting of the temporary prosthesis. This visit usually takes 4-7 days. The second trip, roughly 4-6 months later, is for fitting the permanent prosthesis once osseointegration is confirmed. Some patients make a third trip if adjustments are needed, though a good clinic minimises this. Plan and budget for two full trips including flights and accommodation.
Why is All-on-6 so much cheaper in Turkey than in the UK?
The cost difference is primarily driven by lower operational costs — staff wages, clinic rent, and laboratory costs are all substantially lower in Turkey than in the UK. These are not corners being cut on materials; a Nobel Biocare implant costs the same wholesale regardless of country. The saving is passed on from lower overheads. However, not all Turkish clinics use premium implant brands — some compete on price by switching to locally sourced alternatives, which is why confirming the implant system in writing before treatment is essential.
What happens if something goes wrong after I return to the UK?
This is the central risk of overseas treatment that patients must plan for. If an implant fails to integrate or a complication arises, you will need treatment either in Turkey (requiring another trip) or from a UK dentist willing to manage overseas implant work. Not all UK dentists will take on this responsibility. Before travelling, identify a UK dentist who is willing to monitor your progress and provide emergency treatment if needed. Also ensure the Turkish clinic has a clear protocol for complications and that they will cover the cost of remedy if the failure is due to their clinical error.
Can I get aftercare for my Turkish implants from a UK dentist?
Yes, though it requires planning. Most general UK dentists can manage routine monitoring and hygiene appointments around your implant prosthesis. For more complex issues — implant mobility, prosthesis problems — you may need a specialist implant dentist in the UK. The key requirement is obtaining full documentation from your Turkish clinic: the exact implant system used (brand, model, dimensions), the abutment specifications, and the prosthesis details. With this information, a UK dentist can order compatible components and carry out adjustments or repairs.
