Honest, itemised costs — and exactly how they compare

Porcelain or e.max veneers in Istanbul start from around €220 per tooth. A full Hollywood smile (an upper arch of 8–10 veneers, for example) starts from around €2,900 per arch. UK private prices typically run to £800–£1,000 per tooth or more. These are planning figures — your exact price depends on the number of teeth, shade work and any preparatory treatment.

The short answer: lower overheads, not lower quality. Labour, property and business running costs in Istanbul are substantially lower than in the UK or Germany. Dentists use the same implant systems and porcelain brands as European practices — Straumann, Nobel Biocare, e.max — because these are internationally sourced at similar prices everywhere. The currency difference and higher case volume help too. What cheaper should never mean is rushed treatment, over-preparation or anonymous clinics — which is exactly what we screen for before working with a partner.

We itemise every cost before you commit. Flights are always quoted separately — never buried in a package total. Optional extras like a bone graft or sinus lift, if clinically needed, are quoted separately before proceeding. A second trip (for implant crowns, typically) is factored into your plan from the start. You approve the full itemised plan in writing before anything is booked.

No. We are straightforward about this: the same premium implant and porcelain brands used in top European clinics are available and used in Istanbul. Straumann and Nobel Biocare implants are globally distributed at similar wholesale prices. If a clinic offers unnamed, unbranded materials at exceptionally low prices, that is a red flag — it's why we only work with a vetted partner clinic and can tell you exactly what goes into your treatment.

Yes. Treatment at our partner clinic comes with a written 5-year guarantee covering the clinical work and materials. The scope — what is and is not covered — is spelled out in your treatment plan before you travel. We also coordinate UK/EU aftercare so you have a dental professional to see near home if anything needs checking after your trip.

The most reliable way is to send a few photos (and any existing X-rays) via our quote form or WhatsApp. A licensed dentist reviews them and sends you an itemised plan — usually within 24 hours. It is completely free and there is no obligation to proceed. The plan shows every cost line clearly: treatment, hotel, transfers and flights separately.
