Turkey Teeth Before & After
Real UK patient results — honest outcomes from verified clinics
The following case studies represent real patients who completed treatment through our partner clinics in Turkey. Every case is different — but every one of these patients achieved a result they were delighted with, at a fraction of the UK cost.
Rachel, 29 — Newcastle
18 E-max Veneers
Saved £16,500
Rachel had always been self-conscious about stained, uneven teeth. After two days of preparation and two days of fitting at our Antalya partner clinic, she left Turkey with a full smile makeover for £3,420 — versus an estimated £19,800 at her local UK practice.
Tom, 47 — Glasgow
All-on-4 (upper arch)
Saved £10,200
Tom had been wearing a denture for several years and was ready for a permanent solution. His All-on-4 treatment in Istanbul cost £4,800 — including the temporary arch he flew home with on day 4 and the permanent zirconia arch fitted on his return visit 6 months later.
Joanna, 33 — London
20 Porcelain Veneers
Saved £15,000
Joanna had a significant gap and several chipped teeth. Using Digital Smile Design technology, the clinic showed her exactly what her new smile would look like before any prep work began. The final result exceeded her expectations.
Paul, 55 — Bristol
6 Dental Implants
Saved £13,500
Paul needed six implants to replace teeth lost due to gum disease. Using Straumann implants at our Istanbul clinic, his total treatment cost £3,300 — compared to £16,800 quoted by two London practices.
Lauren, 26 — Manchester
16 Zirconia Veneers
Saved £13,800
Lauren chose zirconia for its extra strength and chose a natural champagne-white shade rather than the ultra-bright look. Her dentist used DSD software to ensure the shape complemented her facial features.
Graham, 61 — Leeds
All-on-6 (both arches)
Saved £21,000
Graham had failing teeth across both arches and needed a complete solution. His All-on-6 full-mouth reconstruction — using Nobel Biocare implants and zirconia bridges — cost £11,400 in Turkey. UK quotes had ranged from £28,000 to £32,500.
What Makes a Good Turkey Teeth Result?
The results shown above share certain characteristics. They don't all look the same — and that's the point. A skilled aesthetic dentist designs a smile to complement the patient's face, skin tone, age, and natural tooth shape. Patients who achieve the best results are those who:
- ✓Choose an experienced aesthetic dentist, not just the cheapest option
- ✓Use Digital Smile Design software to preview and agree on the final result before any work begins
- ✓Select a shade that looks natural — not necessarily the whitest available
- ✓Discuss shape, length, and gumline proportions with their dentist before prep work starts
- ✓Follow pre and post-treatment care instructions carefully
Avoiding the 'Turkey Teeth' Look
The term 'turkey teeth' has come to describe an overly white, bulky, or unnatural-looking set of veneers — a result associated with very low-cost clinics or patients who requested an extreme aesthetic. This outcome is entirely avoidable. Our partner dentists take time to understand the natural look each patient wants and use Digital Smile Design to ensure the final result is agreed before any tooth preparation begins.
We also advise all patients on shade selection — E-max veneers are available in a wide range of natural shades, and our partner dentists will always recommend a shade that looks genuinely natural for the patient's skin tone and age.
