Why Choose a Dental Implant in Turkey?
Turkey offers the best high-quality and cost-effectiveness ratio. With an above 83% satisfaction rate, Turkey serves as a great opportunity for teeth replacement. However, is the quality-affordability ratio enough to decide to come to Turkey?
Here is every single why you should consider Turkey for your teeth implants:
- High-Quality Dental Care
- Cost-Effectiveness
- All-Inclusive Packages
- Traveling Opportunities
High-Quality Dental Care
Dentists in Turkey are well-qualified. To become a dentist, they study for five years, and to become an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (who does dental implants), they need to study for four more years. In total, to be able to do all types of dental implant surgery, a dentist needs to study at least for 9 years.
Dentfix uses the best brands for teeth implants which are Straumann, MegaGen, and MegaGen AnyRidge. These brands offer the best quality for our patients.
We also work with our private lab: Nova Dental Lab. Our lab uses modern technology and CAD/CAM systems. With this technology, they provide aesthetic and impeccable results.
Depending on the type of your implant, the lab might need to design your gum and compound teeth (for all-on implants and dentures).
Cost-Effectiveness
Comparing Turkey to other countries, you can see Turkey prices are 9 times cheaper. However “cheap” doesn’t mean low quality. The biggest reason for these affordable prices is the exchange rates.
Turkish lira has a low value next to Euro, Dollar, and Pound. Not only exchange rates are low, but also cost of living is also low. In Istanbul cost of living is approximately €1,2K, and in Europe cost of living is approximately €3.05K.
Even though the implant brands are the best quality, because of other effects, the same brands come at a more affordable price.
All-Inclusive Packages
The best part of getting your tooth replacement in Turkey is the all-inclusive packages. These packages not only include all the dentistry fees but also cover your accommodation, transportation, translator, private consultant, and many more.
Best of the best, you don’t need to do anything but get your plane ticket. The clinic will arrange every single thing for you.
The moment you contact us, a stress-free journey will be waiting for you.
Traveling Opportunities
If you decide to come to Turkey for your teeth placement procedure, you will probably visit Turkey at least twice. Each time you’ll have the opportunity to explore the city you’re staying.

Why Opt for Full Mouth Dental Implants in Turkey?
Full-mouth dental implants could be all-ons or zygomatic implants.
All-on implants can be 4,6, or 8 pieces. Zygomatic implants are special implants for people who don’t have any bone density.
Full-mouth teeth implants are quite costly. However, in Turkey, cost-effectiveness again comes in handy. While full mouth implants can cost up to €83K, in Turkey this price goes up to €10K.
You can get full mouth implants in any clinic that has an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. In other respects, zygomatic dental implants require specialization. With experts, you can get zygomatic dental implants in Turkey.
