Here's something to really smile about: In Izmir, you can save thousands on a full-arch restoration while enjoying a memorable holiday on Turkey's spectacular Aegean coast.
This beautiful Turkish city boasts some of the top dental clinics in the region, offering patients from the UK and across Europe an affordable way to transform their smiles with this innovative procedure.
How Much Can I Save in Izmir on Dental Work?
In the UK, a full-arch restoration with 4 implants is not covered by the NHS unless a patient has a medical condition preventing them from wearing dentures (the standard (and far less expensive) method of replacing missing teeth.
Thus, patients seeking this major dental implant treatment can expect to pay in the region of £13-16,000 per jaw, meaning the total for a full mouth makeover would be around £30,000.
In sharp contrast, the cost of this procedure at top dental clinics in Izmir is around two-thirds less, at approximately GBP 9,200.
These impressive savings are a great attraction for people in the UK who want to escape the sky-high prices that local dentists charge.
[Please note that these are estimated prices at the time of writing. See our individual clinic listings for latest prices.]
Why Are Prices So Low in Turkey?
The main reason behind the price difference is that the cost of running a dental practice is much lower in Turkey than in the UK and some other European countries. Living expenses are also lower here than in the UK which also helps keep the prices down.
With Turkey's dental tourism market experiencing significant growth in recent years, you can rest assured that the best clinics here promise the same high standards of dental care as dentists back home.
