Dental implants in the UK are among the most expensive dental treatments available — often beyond the reach of patients on ordinary incomes. In Turkey, the exact same procedures, using the same implant brands, are available for a fraction of the cost. This guide gives UK patients a completely transparent comparison.
Single Dental Implant: UK vs Turkey
UK Private Clinic
£2,000–£3,000
per implant (inc. crown)
Turkey (Straumann)
£420–£600
Save up to £2,400 per implant
For a patient needing 4 implants, that saving is between £6,400 and £9,600 — easily covering multiple trips to Turkey with funds to spare. For full-arch treatments the comparison becomes even more stark.

Are the Implant Brands the Same?
Yes. The price difference does not mean inferior implants. Our partner clinics use internationally recognised premium implant systems — the same brands used in the UK's leading private practices:
- Straumann (Switzerland) — the world's most clinically researched implant brand
- Nobel Biocare (Sweden/Switzerland) — used in complex full-arch cases worldwide
- Astra Tech (Dentsply Sirona) — a premium Swedish implant system
- Osstem (South Korea) — one of the world's largest manufacturers, widely used in Europe
The cost difference reflects Turkey's lower cost of living, lower overheads for clinics, and a government policy of supporting medical tourism — not any reduction in material quality or clinical skill.
What Does the Price Include?
🇬🇧 UK Implant — Often Excluded:
- ✗CBCT 3D scan (billed separately)
- ✗Bone graft (£500–£1,500 extra)
- ✗Sedation or IV sedation
- ✗Follow-up X-rays
- ✗Temporary crown
🇹🇷 Turkey Implant — Typically Included:
- ✓CBCT scan and consultation
- ✓Implant placement surgery
- ✓All anaesthetic and sedation
- ✓Temporary crown (during healing)
- ✓Final zirconia crown (return visit)
- ✓5–10 year written guarantee
What Do UK Implant Patients Actually Pay?
In the UK, the headline implant price rarely includes everything. A typical single implant patient in a UK private clinic will pay:
- Initial consultation: £100–£200
- CBCT scan: £100–£300
- Implant + crown: £2,000–£2,800
- Bone graft (if needed): £500–£1,500
- Sinus lift (if needed): £1,000–£2,000
A single tooth replacement in the UK can therefore cost £3,000–£5,000 once all items are included. In Turkey, the same treatment — including scan, surgery, and the final crown — is £420–£700 all-in.
How Long Is the Treatment in Turkey?
Most UK patients complete their implant treatment across two visits:
- First visit (3–5 days): Assessment, CBCT scan, implant placement, temporary crown fitted before you fly home
- Second visit (2–3 days, after 3–6 months): Permanent zirconia or porcelain crown fitted
Paying Monthly for Implants in Turkey
A single dental implant financed over 36 months costs from £14/month. An All-on-4 (both arches) financed over 36 months costs from £250/month — still significantly less than the monthly cost of NHS or UK private finance for equivalent treatment.
