The first question most people ask about dental work abroad is simple: why is it so much cheaper? Here's an honest answer, without invented price lists, and how to compare a Turkish quote with a UK one fairly.
Why treatment costs less in Turkey
Lower cost doesn't mean lower quality. The difference comes mostly from running costs: clinic rent, staff wages, lab work and overheads are simply lower in Turkey than in central London or Manchester, and a favourable exchange rate widens the gap further. The materials, though, are the same global brands, we place Nobel Biocare implants and E-MAX porcelain, exactly what a good UK clinic would use.

What a Turkish price usually includes
A fair comparison isn't just the treatment line. At Esteteeth, an international quote typically bundles things a UK practice charges separately or doesn't offer at all:
- Free VIP airport and hotel transfers
- A written treatment plan and a free initial assessment
- In-house lab work and 3D imaging under one roof
- A multilingual team so nothing is lost in translation
How to compare quotes fairly
- Ask for an itemised, written plan, not a single figure. It should list materials, the number of units and the number of days.
- Add your travel. Even with flights and a hotel, most patients still save significantly, but do the whole-trip maths yourself.
- Compare like with like. A zirconia crown and a basic metal crown are not the same product; make sure both quotes describe the same work.
- Check who and where. A named dentist, a licensed clinic and independent reviews matter more than the lowest number.
Getting a real number for your case
We don't publish fixed prices, because honest dentistry can't quote a mouth it hasn't seen. The fastest way to a real figure is a few photos on WhatsApp: we reply with a written plan, the number of days and exactly what's included, with no obligation. If veneers are what you're weighing, our veneers guide explains the options; for missing teeth, see the implants guide.
