What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone โ a process called osseointegration โ a custom-made crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis is attached on top to restore full function and aesthetics.
Implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they are the only solution that replaces the tooth root itself. This prevents bone loss, preserves facial structure, and provides stability and bite force that dentures and bridges cannot match. With proper care, the implant itself can last a lifetime.
Clinical fact: Long-term studies show dental implants achieve a success rate of 95โ98% โ higher than any other tooth replacement option.
Why Get Dental Implants in Turkey?
Turkey has become the world's most popular destination for dental tourism, attracting over 1.5 million international patients per year. Patients from the USA, UK, Canada, Germany and Australia travel to Turkey to access the same quality of dental care at prices 60โ80% lower than at home.
The cost difference is not due to lower standards โ it reflects lower clinic running costs, government-backed medical tourism incentives, and high procedure volume which allows clinics to invest in premium equipment and materials. Istanbul houses some of the most advanced dental facilities in Europe.
Why Turkey
- Up to 80% cheaper than US
- Same premium implant brands used
- Short waiting times (days, not months)
- Treatment packages available
- Government-accredited clinics
- Experienced multilingual teams
Things to Consider
- Requires 2 trips to Istanbul
- Research clinic credentials carefully
- Travel insurance recommended
- Healing managed remotely between visits
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Turkey?
The cost depends on the treatment type, implant brand, and whether additional procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifting are required. The table below compares typical prices at Soho Dental against average USA clinic prices.
| Procedure | Turkey (Soho Dental) | US Average | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Tooth Implant | from $520 | $3,000+ | 91% |
| All-on-4 (per jaw) | from $5,700 | $20,000+ | 84% |
| All-on-6 (per jaw) | from $6,400 | $25,000+ | 84% |
| Full Mouth (both arches) | from $11,600 | $40,000+ | 84% |
| 20 Zirconia Crowns | from $5,800 | $24,000+ | 71% |
| Zygomatic Implants | custom quote | $40,000+ |
Why are prices lower in Turkey?
Lower clinic operating costs, state incentives for medical tourism, and higher patient volume โ not lower quality standards. Soho Dental uses the same German DXL implants found in top USA clinics.
Not All Dental Implant Clinics in Turkey Are Equal
Istanbul alone has hundreds of dental clinics advertising implants. All-on-4 packages in Turkey range from $5,700 to $11,000+ โ a gap of over $6,000 for what appears to be the same procedure. Understanding what drives that difference could protect both your health and your investment.
Budget clinics achieve lower prices through a combination of: unbranded implant systems that carry no manufacturer guarantee; general dentists performing specialist implant surgery; and incomplete quotes where costs such as CT scans, bone grafts, sedation, and temporary teeth appear only on arrival. This is the bait-and-switch problem that every patient should know about.
| Quality Factor | Lower-Cost Clinic | Soho Dental |
|---|---|---|
| Implant brand | Unbranded / no certification | ๐ฉ๐ช German DXL (certified) |
| Written warranty | None or verbal only | Brand-supported warranty |
| Surgeon qualification | General dentist | Specialist implantologist |
| 3D CT scan | Charged separately | Included in package |
| Temporary teeth | Not always included | Always included on first visit |
| Price transparency | Quote often incomplete | Transparent pricing with possible extras |
| Post-op remote support | Email / no guarantee | Continuous monitoring |
| Health accreditation | Often unverified | Official certification |
The maths on implant failure:
A failed implant requires removal ($650โ1,000), bone regeneration ($1100โ2,000), and re-implantation ($3,500+) โ a bare minimum.
Soho Dental's position:
We are not the cheapest clinic in Istanbul โ we are the premium value choice. You still save up to 70% vs USA prices, while receiving certified German implants, specialist surgeons, and a price that is confirmed in writing before you travel. All possible extra charges for your case (grafting and membrane) will be provided in a transparent manner so you know what you would pay.
All-on-4 vs All-on-6 vs Full Mouth Implants
Full-arch restoration replaces all the teeth on the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both, using a fixed prosthesis anchored to a small number of implants โ dramatically more efficient than placing an individual implant for each missing tooth.
All-on-4 Dental Implants Turkey
The All-on-4 technique uses four implants per arch to support a complete arch of 12 teeth. Two implants are placed vertically at the front and two are angled at 45ยฐ at the rear to maximise contact with available bone. Patients receive their set of temporary teeth in 3 working days on their first visit.
All-on-6 Dental Implants Turkey
All-on-6 uses six implants per arch, providing a wider base of support and greater load distribution. It is preferred for patients with heavier bite forces, greater bone loss, or those wanting maximum long-term stability. Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 start from $5,700 at Soho Dental โ the right option is determined by your CT scan assessment.
| Feature | All-on-4 | All-on-6 | Zygomatic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implants per arch | 4 | 6 | 2โ4 |
| Bone loss severity | โ Moderate | โ Moderate | โ Severe |
| Bone graft required | Depends on the case | Depends on the case | Depends on the case |
| Temporary teeth on first visit | โ Yes | โ Yes | โ Yes |
| Starting price (per jaw) | $5,700 | $6,400 | Custom |
Dental Treatment Packages โ Istanbul 2026
Every Soho Dental package includes the core treatment steps listed on this page. The price in your quote is the price you pay. Hotel, transfers, X-rays and lab fees are all included. Additional procedures such as bone grafting, sinus lifting, sedation, extractions, or changes in prosthetic material may affect the final plan and cost after clinical evaluation and 3D CBCT assessment.
Implant Brands We Use
At Soho Dental we use DXL implants, manufactured in Germany. DXL implants are engineered to the same exacting standards as premium brands recommended by leading clinics in New York, London and Munich โ precision tolerances, biocompatible titanium alloy and optimised surface treatment for long-term osseointegration success.
We do not use low-cost unbranded systems. Every implant carries full manufacturer documentation. Straumann implants are also available on request. Implants components may be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, depending on the implant brand. Clinical outcomes depend on bone condition, oral hygiene, smoking, general health, bite forces and regular follow-up care. Our team provides clear aftercare guidance and case-specific support.

Titanium vs Zirconia Implants
The two most widely used implant materials are titanium and zirconia. Both are biocompatible. The right choice depends on your anatomy, aesthetic goals and any metal sensitivities.
๐ฉ Titanium Implants
- Gold standard โ 40+ years clinical evidence
- Excellent osseointegration
- Higher flexibility โ less fracture risk
- Suitable for virtually all patients
- Recommended for All-on-4 / All-on-6
- Lower cost than zirconia
๐ฆท Zirconia Implants
- Tooth-coloured โ ideal for visible zones
- Metal-free โ for titanium sensitivity
- Excellent aesthetics front smile zone
- One-piece design (no abutment joint)
- Slightly higher cost than titanium
- Newer โ less long-term data

Soho Dental is accredited by Health Turkiye, the official government body certifying clinics that meet international patient safety and clinical quality standards.
Our implant surgeons are members of the Turkish Dental Association with postgraduate qualifications in implantology. We use 3D CT scanners, CAD/CAM crown milling and digital X-ray โ the same equipment as leading clinics in the USA.
A note on very low prices:
Clinics advertising implants at $200โ270 may use unbranded systems or hide costs that appear on arrival. Always request a full written price and verify accreditations before booking anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about this treatment? You're not alone. From treatment timelines to costs and recovery, we're here to guide you with clear answers, expert advice, and personalized support at every step.
Because we do not compromise on the things that determine whether your implants last a lifetime โ or fail within two years. The three main cost drivers are: (1) Implant brand โ we use certified German DXL implants, not unbranded systems. Named brands cost more but carry manufacturer documentation, quality tolerances and brand-supported warranty. (2) Surgeon qualification โ every procedure at Soho Dental is performed by a specialist implantologist with postgraduate specialist training, not a general dentist. (3) Transparent pricing - CT scan, temporary teeth, permanent teeth, hotel and vip transfers are included in relevant treatment packages. No surprises on arrival. You are still saving up to 70% compared to US/UK prices. The difference between Soho and the cheapest Turkish option is typically $1,500-2,000 โ that gap pays for certified implants, brand-supported warranty, and the peace of mind that you will not need costly revision surgery.
Each case is assessed individually. Well-controlled diabetes is generally not a barrier. Poorly controlled diabetes can impair healing. Smoking significantly reduces success rates โ we advise stopping before and after treatment. We will advise based on your specific profile.
Dental implants have been shown to have a very high success rate that is over 95%. It is true that in rare cases, an implant may not heal properly or may fail over time. If that happens, you have no need to worry, it's not the end of the road for you.
If there is such an occurrence during the early healing phase, we remove it, let the area heal, and then plan a second attempt. Bone grafting may be considered further in such procedures.
The bone tissue in your middle frontal area (where your incisor teeth are located) has softer bone tissue and is not preferred for dental implants. This is why expert implantology surgeon assesses and measures the best angle and location in your mouth for your unique case when performing treatments protocols such as all on 4 or all on 6.
In most cases, the solution is straightforward and successful, especially when you're treated at a clinic experienced in handling such cases. There are quite a lot of parameters that are handled by expert implantology surgeon that you don't have to deal with. This is the main reason why we recommend not going forward with cheap clinics and choosing dentists with questionable credentials. Dental implant surgery is still a surgery and requires adequate preparation with proper knowledge and experience.
At our clinic, we also provide follow-up care and clear guidance to help minimize risks and keep your implants healthy for years to come. Plus, your treatment will be subject to complication insurance if performed at our clinic. In addition, we stand by our work โ so if something does go wrong, you will not be left on your own.
Yes. Before permanent crowns are fabricated, we create a digital smile preview and physical trial restoration. You approve the shape, colour and size before anything is permanently fitted.
Three options: (1) Local anaesthetic โ standard for most cases; (2) IV twilight sedation โ deeply relaxed, minimal memory of procedure; (3) General anaesthetic โ available for complex cases or very anxious patients, with an anaesthesiologist present.
The titanium implant fixture is designed to be permanent. Once osseointegration is complete, it functions as a natural tooth root and can last a lifetime.
In most cases, yes. Moderate bone loss is often managed through the angled implant placement of All-on-4/6 and grafting where necessary. Severe bone loss can be treated with zygomatic implants, anchored in the cheekbone. A CT scan determines the best approach.
Surgery is performed under local anaesthetic โ you feel pressure but not pain. IV twilight sedation is also available. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with provided medications. Most patients report the procedure was far more comfortable than expected.
No. Your price is confirmed in writing before travel. The only exception is if an on-arrival CT scan reveals an unexpected clinical issue โ which we discuss transparently before proceeding. We do not use bait-and-switch pricing. We include all possible additional charges like grafting, sinus lifting etc. and inform you properly before you travel.
All-on-4 uses 4 implants per arch โ sufficient for most patients; whether bone grafting is needed depends on the case. All-on-6 uses 6 implants for greater stability, recommended for significant bone loss or stronger bite forces.
Most patients need two visits: 3 working days for implant placement and 6-7 working days for final crown fitting. Hotel and transfers are included for both visits. 28 Porcelain Crown packages take just 6โ7 days in a single trip.
Yes. Soho Dental is certified by Health Turkiye, uses German DXL implants and follows international clinical protocols. Over 3,000 international patients have been treated here. We recommend checking any clinic's accreditation, implant brands, and independent reviews before booking.
A single dental implant starts from $520. Full mouth All-on-4 and All-on-6 packages start from $5,700 per jaw. Your price is confirmed in writing before you travel.
