Turkey is one of the best places to get affordable dental treatments. The high quality of Turkish dentistry attracts many visitors who come to the country specifically to get their teeth done.
Turkey is particularly popular with patients who want cosmetic dental procedures because they are not covered by health insurance.

Why Should I Have Dental Treatment in Turkey?
Most patients who come to Turkey for dental treatment do so because Turkish clinics are cheaper than those in their home country while offering treatment of comparable quality to that in the UK. Depending on the type of procedure, prices in Turkish dental clinics can be as low as 30% of the cost of the same treatment in Western Europe.
As most types of cosmetic dentistry are not covered by health insurance, the difference in price for such treatments as dental veneer installation can be very pronounced. Other times, health insurance may not cover a desired type of functional treatment.
For example, a patient who has lost a majority of their teeth may be offered to get dentures but not dental implants.
Is Turkey a Good Place for Dental Treatment?
Turkish dentistry is very high-quality. The country has fifteen dentistry schools that meet international medical standards and prepare many highly qualified dentists. Turkish dental clinics use modern equipment and dental supplies certified by the EU and USA.
In general, Turkish dentistry is also more affordable than in most European countries. This is possible due to several reasons, notably because of the government subsidies. As a result, the lower price does not negatively impact the quality of the treatments.
Turkey is also famous for its landmarks and culture. Often, it is possible to get dental treatment in Turkey during a holiday. Most Turkish dental clinics will arrange most of the details of the patient’s stay in the country for them, making the travel very convenient.
What Dental Treatments Can I Get in Turkey?
As Turkish dentistry is very developed, it is possible to get almost any dental treatment here, including the most modern types. Medical tourists typically come to Turkey for large-scale dental procedures, such as dental prostheses. The most popular are dental veneers and implants. Turkey is also popular for orthodontic treatments, such as braces.
Veneers are used to cover the front of the tooth for a variety of reasons. Usually, they conceal small cracks in the teeth’ surface, close the gaps between teeth or as a permanent tooth whitening solution. Dental veneers can be made of several types of materials. The most popular ones are composite resins and porcelain. Composite resin is usually used for temporary veneers, as it is less resistant to damage, but it is much cheaper. Porcelain veneers, such as ones made of zirconium ceramic, are more durable and natural-looking but also more expensive. They also require extra care if the patient has bruxism, as repeated mechanical stress can damage them. If they are thin, they may be called lumineers.
Dental implants are used in conjunction with visible prostheses to replace missing teeth. These can be crowns or fixed bridges. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth’s root and is installed into the patient’s jawbone. An implant functions the same as a natural root, so it can prevent jawbone degradation that follows tooth loss.
They also do not interfere with eating. Several implant types are suitable for different stages of tooth loss and bone densities.
How Much Does It Cost to Get Teeth Done in Turkey?
Because Turkey has a lower cost of living than Western Europe, Turkish dentistry is less expensive in general, though clinics of different quality will also have different prices. As a result, prices for dental treatments vary, though even the most expensive ones won’t cost a fortune, as they are cheaper by at least 50% than the equivalent treatments in the UK.
As the costs of living in Turkey are lower than in other developed countries, it is also less expensive to get a comprehensive medical education. This frees Turkish dentists from the need to increase the price of their services to compensate for their student loans. Turkey can train dentists and dental surgeons of all the recognised specialities, so no matter what type of treatment you choose, you can be sure that the quality will be high.
