With increasingly high dental prices in countries like the UK, as well as long waiting lists and, in some cases, difficulty in even finding a dentist, more and more patients are heading abroad to places like Turkey to obtain more affordable treatment.
With savings averaging up to 70% available in Turkish destinations like Istanbul, it can make sense to hop on a cheap flight, enjoy a holiday, and return home having saved several hundred - or several thousand - depending on the kind of dental treatment you are having.

They are well-trained, highly-qualified and skilled; clinics are contemporary and the technologies used are state-of-the-art to include CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture), digital x-rays and 3D/CD scanning.
