This is the 2026 expert guide to getting dental implants in Turkey. We will answer the most critical questions US, UK, and Australian patients ask about cost, safety, brands (like Straumann®), and the All-on-4 process.
A dental implant is the gold standard for replacing a missing tooth, but the high cost back home makes it prohibitive. At IST SMILE EXPERTS, you get the world's best implant systems, performed by specialist surgeons, for up to 70% less. This guide explains how.
We Use The Gold Standard Implant Brands
Your long-term safety is our #1 priority. We do not use cheap, unknown implant brands. We are official partners with the "Tier 1" global leaders in implantology, the same brands your dentist in the US or UK trusts.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Turkey?
The primary reason patients fly to Turkey is the cost. You can expect to save 60-70% compared to US, UK, or Australian prices for the exact same procedure.
| Procedure | Average Cost (USA/UK/AUS) | Our Price (USD) - From Price List |

Full Mouth Restoration: All-on-4 vs. All-on-6
For patients missing all or most of their teeth, a "full mouth" solution is life-changing. This is our specialty. The two best options are All-on-4® and All-on-6®.
What is All-on-4®?
The All-on-4® technique (pioneered by Nobel Biocare®) uses four precisely placed implants to support a full, permanent bridge (a full set of teeth). Two implants are placed vertically in the front, and two are angled in the back to maximize contact with available bone. It's an excellent, stable, and cost-effective solution for most patients.
What is All-on-6®?
As the name implies, this uses six implants instead of four. The two extra implants are placed in the back (in the molar area) to provide even greater stability and support. We recommend All-on-6® for patients with a wider jaw or those who want the absolute maximum in strength and long-term durability.

The Dental Implant Process in Turkey: A 2-Trip Journey
For a 100% successful and safe outcome, full-mouth restoration requires two short trips to Istanbul, separated by 4-6 months of healing. This is the global standard for safety.
Trip 1: The Surgery (Approx. 7 Days)
- Step 1: The Virtual Consultation (Free)
From your home, you send us your X-rays/photos. Our doctors build your personalized treatment plan and provide a fixed quote. - Step 2: Arrival & 3D Scan (Day 1-2)
Our VIP driver meets you at IST airport. At the clinic, we take a 3D (CBCT) scan to map your bone and nerves. - Step 3: The Surgery (Day 3)
Our specialist surgeons perform the implant placement surgery (All-on-4 or All-on-6). This is often done under sedation for zero anxiety. - Step 4: Temporary Bridge (Day 5-6)
We take impressions and fit your high-quality temporary bridge. You will be able to eat and smile immediately. - Step 5: Final Check-up & Fly Home (Day 7)
We check your bite and ensure you are comfortable before you fly home to heal.
Trip 2: The Final Smile (Approx. 6 Days, 4-6 Months Later)
After your implants have fully integrated with the bone (osseointegration):
- You return to Istanbul (hotel and transfers still included).
- Our team removes the temporary bridge and takes new, precise impressions.
- Our master technicians craft your final, permanent bridge from monolithic Zirconia.
- We permanently fit your new smile, check your bite, and you fly home with a smile built to last a lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions About Implants in Turkey
Is it safe to get full mouth dental implants in Turkey?
Yes, provided you choose an accredited clinic. At IST SMILE EXPERTS, we use globally-approved brands (Straumann®, Nobel Biocare®) and our surgeons are board-certified specialists. Your safety is our #1 priority.
Do dental implants hurt? What is the recovery like?
(Consolidated from `do-dental-implants-hurt`) The surgery itself is painless as it is performed under local anesthesia or sedation. You will feel pressure, but no pain. Post-operative discomfort (swelling, mild bruising) is normal and peaks at Day 2-3, but is easily managed with the medication we provide. Most patients are back to exploring Istanbul within 3-4 days.
What if I need a bone graft or sinus lift?
(Consolidated from `dental-bone-graft-cost-turkey`) This is very common. If our 3D scan shows you lack the necessary bone density, our surgeons will perform a Sinus Lift or Dental Bone Graft in-house, often during the same surgery. This ensures a 100% stable foundation for your implants.
Am I a candidate for implants? What about denture alternatives?
(Consolidated from `denture-alternatives-turkey`) Most adults are candidates for implants. They are the best alternative to traditional dentures, which can slip and cause bone loss. Implants are a fixed, permanent solution that feels and functions like natural teeth. We will assess your case for free.
How does travel insurance work for dental implants?
Standard travel insurance usually does NOT cover planned medical procedures. We strongly recommend patients look into Medical Travel Insurance, which is specifically designed to cover you for any complications, although rare. We provide a full guide on this.
