Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what international patients actually ask us — prices, how long you stay, what is included, who treats you, and what happens if something goes wrong.

Costs & payment

How much do dental implants cost in Turkey at Dentfix?

A single dental implant at Dentfix costs €365–€490 with a standard implant, or €690–€890 with premium Straumann or Nobel Biocare implants — including the abutment and crown planning. The same implant typically costs €1,800–€3,500 in the UK, Germany or the USA, so most patients save 60–70% even after flights and hotel. Your online consultation and treatment plan are free.

How much is All-on-4 or All-on-6 in Turkey?

All-on-4 costs €2,790–€2,980 per arch and All-on-6 costs €2,980–€3,490 per arch at Dentfix. That price covers the implants and the fixed bridge for that jaw. A full mouth (both jaws) therefore starts from around €5,580. Abroad the same full-arch treatment usually costs €12,000–€25,000 per arch.

How much are veneers and crowns?

E-max porcelain veneers are €255–€390 per tooth and zirconium crowns are €175–€225 per tooth at Dentfix. A typical Hollywood Smile of 16–20 upper and lower teeth is quoted as a package — send us a photo and you will get an exact, itemised quote within 24 hours.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. Your written quote is itemised and fixed before you travel. It lists every implant, crown and veneer, plus what is included from your package (hotel nights and VIP airport transfers on package treatments). We do not add surprise charges on arrival — if your clinical situation changes after the in-person examination, we tell you and get your approval before doing anything.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

A small deposit secures your appointment dates and your quoted price; the balance is paid at the clinic during treatment. Deposits are how we lock your price and reserve the surgeon's time in a busy schedule.

Is the online consultation really free?

Yes — it is completely free and there is no obligation. Send photos of your smile via WhatsApp or the form on this site, and our dentists review your case and send back a personalised treatment plan and an exact price, usually within 24 hours.

Your treatment & results

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?

For veneers, crowns or a Hollywood Smile: about 5–7 days in one visit. For dental implants: two visits — 3–5 days for the implant surgery, then a 3–6 month healing period at home, then 5–7 days to fit the final teeth. With All-on-4/All-on-6 you leave the first visit with fixed temporary teeth, so you are never without a smile.

Will I leave with teeth, or without them?

You will never leave the clinic without teeth. With All-on-4 and All-on-6, fixed temporary teeth are placed within days of the implant surgery. With veneers and crowns, temporaries are fitted while your permanent restorations are being made in the lab.

Does the treatment hurt?

Treatment itself is not painful — it is done under strong local anaesthetic, and sedation is available for anxious patients or longer surgeries. Afterwards it is normal to have mild swelling or soreness for a few days, which is controlled with ordinary painkillers your dentist prescribes.

How natural will my new teeth look?

Shade, shape and proportion are chosen with you before anything is made, and every case is designed to suit your face rather than a single 'Hollywood white'. We use E-max and zirconium ceramics, which transmit light like natural enamel — you can see real, unretouched results in our before & after gallery.

What if I have been told I do not have enough bone for implants?

You still have options. Zygomatic implants anchor into the cheekbone instead of the upper jaw, so patients with severe bone loss can get fixed teeth without years of bone grafting — from €1,490 per implant at Dentfix. Send us your panoramic X-ray (OPG) and our surgeon will tell you honestly whether this is right for you.

Travel, hotel & logistics

What is included in a Dentfix package?

Package treatments include hotel accommodation and private VIP airport and clinic transfers, along with your treatment, your free consultation and your aftercare plan. Flights are not included — you book those yourself, which keeps you in control of dates and price.

Do you speak my language?

Yes. Dentfix has coordinators in 7 languages — English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Polish — and Russian-speaking support. You will have one coordinator who stays with you from your first message through to aftercare.

Is it safe to travel to Istanbul for dental treatment?

Yes. Istanbul is one of the world's largest medical-tourism destinations and treats hundreds of thousands of international patients each year. Our clinic is in Şişli, a central, well-connected district. We arrange your transfers and hotel so you are never finding your own way around a strange city.

What happens on my first day?

You are collected from the airport by a private VIP transfer and taken to your hotel. At the clinic you have a full examination, digital X-rays and a 3D scan, then your dentist confirms your plan and final price with you before any treatment begins.

Can I combine treatment with a holiday?

Yes, and most patients do. Treatment days leave time to see the city, and your coordinator plans your appointments around what you want to do.

Safety, dentists & materials

Are Dentfix dentists qualified?

Yes. Our team includes specialists in prosthodontics and oral & maxillofacial surgery, including Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşe Atay (prosthodontist) and our implant surgeon Dr. Siavash. Every treatment plan is reviewed by the specialist who will actually perform it — you are not passed to an anonymous junior on arrival.

What brands and materials do you use?

Only FDA and CE-approved materials — Straumann and Nobel Biocare implants, and Ivoclar E-max ceramics. We show you the material certificates for your own case in the clinic, so you can verify exactly what was placed in your mouth.

Is the clinic licensed?

Yes. Dentfix is a licensed dental clinic in Şişli, Istanbul, operating under Turkish Ministry of Health regulation, with sterilisation and infection-control protocols to international standards.

How many patients do you treat, and can I see reviews?

Dentfix has treated international patients for over 20 years and is rated 4.9/5 on Google by real patients. You can read those reviews and see unretouched before & after photos on our site before you commit to anything.

Guarantee & aftercare

Do you give a guarantee?

Yes. Implants carry a lifetime guarantee on the implant fixture itself, and crowns and veneers carry a manufacturer-backed guarantee. Your guarantee terms are written on your treatment documents — not just promised verbally.

What if something goes wrong when I am back home?

Contact your coordinator directly on WhatsApp — the same person who handled your case. We assess the problem remotely first; if something covered by your guarantee needs to be redone, we arrange it. You are not abandoned once you land back home.

How do I look after my new teeth?

Brush twice daily, clean between the teeth or implants daily with interdental brushes or a water flosser, and have a professional cleaning every 6–12 months. Avoid biting very hard objects. With this routine, implants can last decades and veneers 10–15 years or more.
