What Is The Price For A Full Mouth Restoration In Turkey?

How Much Full Mouth Restoration in Turkey Costs?

If you've been looking in the mirror and wishing for a complete smile makeover, you've probably already realized that dental work in the US, UK, or Canada can cost as much as a luxury car. That's why so many people are packing their bags and heading to Turkey. It's not just about the vacation; it's about saving thousands of dollars while getting top-tier medical care.

In this guide, we're going to break down exactly what you can expect to pay for a full mouth restoration in Turkey. We'll look at the costs for implants, veneers, and everything in between, so you can decide if this dental tourism hotspot is the right choice for your new smile.

What is the average cost of a full mouth restoration in Turkey?

When we talk about full mouth restoration, we are usually referring to two main types of treatments: replacing missing teeth with implants or fixing existing teeth with crowns or veneers. The price variation depends largely on the complexity of your case and the materials used.

For patients requiring dental implants, a standard All-on-4 procedure for one jaw can start as low as $2,000, meaning a full mouth (both jaws) would be around $4,000 to $5,000. However, if you opt for premium Swiss or German implants and high-grade zirconia crowns, the price can rise to $10,000 or $12,000. Compared to the $40,000 to $60,000 you might pay in the US, this is still a massive saving.

If you have healthy roots but damaged or discolored teeth, a full set of veneers or crowns (20-24 teeth) is much cheaper. This aesthetic restoration typically costs between $3,500 and $6,000, giving you that "Hollywood Smile" for a fraction of the domestic price.

How much does the All-on-4 dental implant procedure cost?

The All-on-4 technique is one of the most popular solutions for people who have lost most or all of their teeth. It involves placing four titanium implants into the jawbone to support a full arch of fixed teeth. In Turkey, this procedure is a specialty of many clinics in Istanbul, Antalya, and Izmir.

The base price often includes the surgery, the four implants, and a temporary set of teeth. However, the final price will depend on the brand of implant you choose. Budget-friendly Turkish brands are safe and effective, but premium brands like Straumann or Nobel Biocare will push the cost toward the higher end of the spectrum ($3,500+ per arch).

What is the cost difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants?

Many dentists recommend All-on-6 implants if you have enough bone density, as the two extra implants provide better distribution of bite force and greater stability. While it is slightly more expensive, the long-term benefits often outweigh the initial cost difference.

In the UK or USA, the price jump from All-on-4 to All-on-6 can be thousands of dollars. In Turkey, the difference is often just the cost of the two additional hardware units, making the upgrade very accessible. A full mouth restoration using All-on-6 (both upper and lower jaws) usually totals around $7,000 to $13,000.

How much does a full set of veneers cost in Turkey?

For a complete smile makeover without implants, dental veneers are the go-to option. Pricing is usually calculated "per tooth," but most clinics offer package deals for sets of 12, 16, or 20 veneers.

• Porcelain Veneers: $150 - $250 per tooth
• E-max Veneers: $250 - $400 per tooth (Best for aesthetics)
• Zirconia Veneers: $200 - $350 per tooth (Best for durability)

Most international patients opt for package deals that include hotel stays and transfers, keeping the total cost for a full smile (20 teeth) well under $7,000.

Detailed Cost Comparison: Turkey vs. UK vs. USA

To truly understand the value, let's look at a direct comparison of average costs for these major procedures. These figures highlight why dental tourism in Turkey has exploded in popularity.

Procedure	Cost in USA	Cost in UK	Cost in Turkey
Single Implant (Titanium)	$3,000 - $5,000	£2,000 - £3,500	$400 - $800
All-on-4 (Per Arch)	$15,000 - $25,000	£12,000 - £18,000	$2,500 - $4,500

Full Set of Veneers (20 teeth)	$20,000 - $35,000	£15,000 - £25,000	$3,500 - $6,500
Bone Grafting (if needed)	$600 - $1,200	£500 - £1,000	$100 - $300

Why is dental work so cheap in Turkey?

A common misconception is that lower prices mean lower quality. In reality, the cost difference is driven by economics, not malpractice. The cost of living in Turkey is significantly lower than in Western Europe or North America, which means rents, salaries, and utility costs for clinics are much lower.

Additionally, the Turkish government actively supports the medical tourism industry with tax breaks and incentives. High competition among clinics in Istanbul and Antalya also forces providers to keep prices competitive while maintaining high standards to attract international reviews.

What is included in a full mouth restoration package?

One of the biggest advantages of choosing Turkey is the all-inclusive package model. Unlike in the US where you are billed separately for the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and the facility, Turkish clinics bundle everything.

A typical full mouth restoration package includes:

• Free consultation and 3D CT Scans.
• The surgical procedure and implant hardware.
• Temporary teeth to wear during the healing phase.
• 4-star or 5-star hotel accommodation (usually 5-7 nights).
• Private VIP transfers between the airport, hotel, and clinic.
• Post-op medication and language translation services.

Is it safe to get full mouth restoration in Turkey?

Safety should always be your top priority. Turkey has a robust healthcare system, and its top dental clinics are equipped with state-of-the-art technology that often rivals or exceeds what is available in local UK or US clinics. Many Turkish dentists are members of the Turkish Dental Association and international organizations.

However, due to the high demand, some "cut-rate" clinics do exist. To ensure safety, always ask for the dentist's portfolio, read third-party reviews, and check if the clinic uses FDA or CE-approved implant brands like Nobel Biocare, Straumann, or Osstem.

How long does the full mouth restoration procedure take?

If you are getting implants, you cannot finish the process in one trip. Osseointegration (the bone healing around the implant) takes time.
Trip 1 (3-5 days): Consultation, extraction of bad teeth, placement of implants, and fitting of temporary dentures.
Healing Period (3-6 months): You return home with temporary teeth.
Trip 2 (5-7 days): You return to Turkey to have the permanent porcelain or zirconia crowns attached to the implants.

If you are only getting veneers or crowns (no implants), the entire process can usually be completed in a single trip of roughly 5 to 7 days.

Do I need to pay for my flights separately?

While clinics cover almost everything on the ground (hotel, driver, surgery), airfare is almost never included. You should factor this into your budget.

Luckily, Istanbul and Antalya are major travel hubs. You can often find budget flights from the UK or Europe for under $200. From the US, flights may range from $700 to $1,200. Even with this added cost, the total savings on a full mouth restoration usually exceed $20,000.

What brands of dental implants are used in Turkey?

You might worry that cheaper prices mean generic parts, but reputable Turkish clinics use the exact same hardware as dentists in London or New York. When you get a quote, always ask "What brand of implant will you use?"

Premium Brands (Higher Cost): Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Astra Tech.
Mid-Range Brands (Good Value): Osstem, Medentika, Hiossen.
Most of these brands offer a global warranty, meaning if a part fails, a certified doctor in your home country may be able to help fix it using the warranty card.

Are there any hidden costs I should know about?

Most clinics give you a quote based on photos or X-rays you send via WhatsApp or email. However, an X-ray doesn't show everything. Once you arrive and get a 3D CT scan, the dentist might discover you have insufficient bone density.

• Sinus Lift: Can add $250 - $500 per side.
• Bone Grafting: Can add $100 - $300 per area.
• Extractions: Simple extractions are often free in packages, but complex surgical extractions might incur a small fee.

To avoid surprises, be as honest as possible about your medical history during the consultation.

What is the recovery time for full mouth dental implants?

Recovery is generally faster than people expect. You might experience swelling and bruising for a few days after the surgery, but pain is usually manageable with over-the-counter medication. The clinic will provide you with antibiotics and painkillers.

You will leave Turkey with temporary teeth. You can eat, smile, and talk, but you must stick to a soft-food diet (pasta, eggs, fish) for the first few months to avoid putting pressure on the healing implants. Once the bone has fused, you can return to a normal diet.

Can I get full mouth restoration if I have severe bone loss?

If you've been told you aren't a candidate for implants due to bone loss, Turkey might still be an option. Turkish surgeons are often highly experienced in complex cases.

The All-on-4 technique is specifically designed to work with lower bone volume by tilting the posterior implants. For extreme cases, Zygomatic implants (which are longer and anchor into the cheekbone rather than the jaw) are available, though they cost significantly more ($10,000+ per arch) and require a specialized surgeon.

What happens if something goes wrong after I return home?

This is the most common fear for dental tourists. "What if I get an infection when I'm back in the US?"

First, ask for a written copy of the clinic's guarantee policy. Most top clinics offer a lifetime warranty on the titanium implant and a 5-year warranty on crowns. If a failure occurs due to their error, they will fix it for free. However, few clinics cover the cost of your airfare and hotel for the repair trip. Minor adjustments can often be done by a local dentist at home, but major issues will require a return trip.

How to choose the best dental clinic in Turkey?

Don't just chase the lowest price. A full mouth restoration is a major surgery. To find a trustworthy provider:

1. Check Credentials: Is the surgeon a maxillofacial specialist?
2. Video Consultation: Speak to the coordinator or dentist. Do they speak good English? Do they answer your questions directly?
3. Technology: Do they use 3D tomography and CAD/CAM technology?
4. Reviews: Look for video testimonials, which are harder to fake than written reviews.

Does insurance cover dental implants in Turkey?

Generally, you should treat this as an out-of-pocket expense. However, because the cost in Turkey is so low (often less than the "copay" or deductible for major work in the US), it often still works out cheaper than using insurance at home for the same level of extensive work.

Some companies offer medical financing specifically for dental tourism, allowing you to pay off the procedure in monthly installments, though this usually needs to be arranged in your home country before you travel.
