Cost FAQ
Are Istanbul dental prices really 50–70% cheaper than the UK?
Yes, for most treatments. Lower clinic running costs, lower lab and staff costs and favourable exchange rates explain the gap — not lower-quality materials. Leading clinics use the same implant brands and CAD/CAM labs as UK practices. The saving is largest on expensive treatments like implants and full-arch work.
What is usually included in an Istanbul treatment price?
At reputable clinics the quoted price typically covers consultation, the procedure itself, materials, and follow-up appointments during your stay. Many packages also include hotel and airport transfers. Flights are almost always separate. Always ask for a written, itemised breakdown in GBP before you commit, so "extras" can't appear later.
Should I choose the cheapest clinic I can find?
No. The gap between a safe clinic and a risky one is small in money but enormous in outcome. The cheapest "package deals" are where most dental-tourism problems start — rushed treatment, unbranded materials and no aftercare. Aim for best value: a named specialist, branded materials and a written guarantee, not the lowest headline figure.
