How much is a full set of Turkey teeth?
"Turkey teeth" usually means a full set of veneers or crowns on the upper and lower front teeth, typically 16 to 20 teeth. The total depends on three choices:
- How many teeth: 8 to 10 units cover the smile line of one jaw; 16 to 20 units cover both jaws.
- Veneers or crowns: veneers keep more of your own tooth and are used on healthy teeth; crowns are only for teeth that are broken, heavily filled or root-treated.
- Material: composite is the entry price, E.max porcelain lasts much longer, zirconia is used for crowns on back teeth.
To work out your own full set, multiply the per-unit starting price in the table above by the number of teeth; any tooth that also needs a crown, root canal or gum treatment is added at its own price. A good clinic will not crown healthy teeth to make a full set cheaper or faster. Read what "Turkey teeth" means and how to avoid it.
Dentist in Istanbul: prices explained
Searches for "dentist Istanbul prices" or a "dental centre Turkey price list" return very different numbers. The prices on this page are for our clinic in Istanbul (Ataköy) and are starting prices: the final figure depends on how many teeth are treated, the material and what your X-rays show, and it is set out in a written treatment plan before you travel. Very low quotes from Istanbul often mean crowns are planned instead of veneers, a little-known implant system is used, or X-rays, the 3D scan and temporaries are charged on top. Always ask which material and implant brand are included, and what the package covers.
Turkey teeth cost compared with the UK
Patients from the UK usually save because a clinic in Istanbul costs less to run, not because of cheaper materials: rent, salaries and laboratory fees are lower. The implant systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare) and ceramics (E.max, zirconia) are the same international products. The table at the top of this page compares like with like, per unit (2026 published private-practice prices). For context, Bupa Dental Care lists £2,400 for a single implant with its crown in the UK, and the German consumer advice centre (Verbraucherzentrale) puts it at €1,500 to €3,500 in Germany; the sources are listed under the price table.
