We talked in detail about why dental crowns in Turkey are a very affordable way of getting the highest quality crowns on a budget for an international patient. But why dental crowns in Turkey are so affordable?

When it comes to dental crown cost 5 factors influence the final price:

• The medical tourism industry
• High competition
• The cost of living
• Currency exchange

The currency exchange Euro/Dollar/Pound – Turkish lira makes the prices extremely affordable for people coming from abroad while being expensive for people with Turkish lira. However, this kind of affordability is seen only by people with strong currencies.

Medical tourism in Turkey allows a high number of people to come to Turkey more specifically almost a million people – and in particular Istanbul – to get their teeth done and a smile makeover. This helps with maintaining the market profitable, and affordable, with low and competitive prices. This also helps with giving doctors a huge experience and getting in contact with a lot of different patients, needs, cases, and requests. Also, it is possible to obtain and produce dental top-grade materials for a fraction of the price.

In addition, the government noticed how profitable medical tourism is and how beneficial it is for the country. So, the Turkish government helps the private health sector with incentives, low taxes, and other benefits. This has a strong influence on the prices, especially when it comes to low taxes.

Will dental crowns in Turkey be bad because of the price?
