Dental Implants in Turkey: The Complete 2026 Guide
Everything you need to know about getting dental implants in Turkey — from costs and procedure steps to choosing the right clinic and planning your dental journey to Antalya.
Why Choose Turkey for Dental Implants?
Turkey has become the world's leading destination for dental implants, attracting over 1 million medical tourists annually. The combination of highly qualified dentists, state-of-the-art technology, and significantly lower costs makes Turkey — and especially Antalya — the ideal choice for your dental implant treatment.
Cost Savings: Turkey vs UK, EU, and US
A single dental implant in the UK costs between £2,000-£3,500. In the US, prices range from $3,000-$6,000 per implant. In Turkey, you can get the same premium-quality implant for £400-£700 — saving up to 70% while receiving treatment using the same world-class implant brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Swiss Dent).
Popular implant brands we use:
- Straumann (Swiss) — Premium implant system with excellent osseointegration
- Nobel Biocare (Swedish) — Pioneer in dental implant technology
- SLH (German) — High-quality German engineering
- Neodent (Swiss) — Reliable and cost-effective option
The Dental Implant Procedure: Step by Step
First Visit (3-5 Days)
Your first visit includes a comprehensive consultation with panoramic X-ray, 3D CBCT scan if needed, and a personalized treatment plan. The implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and temporary teeth are placed. Most patients are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Healing Period (3-4 Months)
During this period, the implant integrates with your jawbone through osseointegration. You'll wear temporary teeth and can return home. Our patient coordinators stay in contact throughout your healing.
Second Visit (5-7 Days)
You return for the final stage: the abutment is attached to the implant, and your custom-made permanent crown is placed. The result is a natural-looking, fully functional tooth that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have healthy gums and adequate bone density. Even if you've been told you need a bone graft, many of our patients can receive implants using advanced techniques. Age is rarely a barrier — we've successfully treated patients from 18 to 85.

Will I have pain during the procedure?
