Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for UK and Irish patients: your free treatment plan, prices, how many days, flights, guarantee and aftercare.

The questions UK and Irish patients ask us most, from the first photos to the last check-up. Each answer is short and links to the page that explains it in full; if your question isn't here, send it to us on WhatsApp and your coordinator will answer.

Your free treatment plan

How do I get a price for my treatment?

Send us six photos of your teeth on WhatsApp or through the form, with a recent X-ray if you have one. Our dentist reviews them and sends you a free treatment plan: which treatment each tooth needs and why, every tooth with its price, how many days you need and when you can fly. To see a first figure straight away, use our cost calculator in pounds or euro.

Which photos should I send?

Six photos taken in daylight with your phone are enough: your face from the front, smiling; your teeth together from the front; the right side; the left side; and the biting surfaces of your upper and lower teeth. A recent X-ray helps, especially if you are thinking about implants. If the dentist needs anything else, your coordinator tells you exactly what.

Does the treatment plan cost anything, and am I committed?

The treatment plan is free and you are not committed to anything by asking for one. It lists every tooth and its price, so you can compare it line by line with any other quote. No hidden costs: the price in your treatment plan is the price you pay. Our full price list shows every price we charge.

Can I speak to the dentist before I book?

Yes. If you wish, we go through your plan with you beforehand in a video call, by appointment — your coordinator arranges a time that suits you. You can also ask the dentist any question in writing on WhatsApp at any stage, before and after your treatment.

Prices and what's included

What is included in the price?

Your consultation and examination, 3D CT scan and digital impressions, your free treatment plan, the treatment itself with the materials named in your plan, your English-speaking patient coordinator and aftercare. Hotel and VIP transfer included: a hotel a few minutes from the clinic and VIP transfer from Izmir airport. Flights are not included; we help you plan them, free. What each package includes is set out on our price list.

Is the hotel really included?

Yes. Hotel and VIP transfer included: you stay in a hotel a few minutes' walk from the clinic, and your driver meets you at arrivals in Izmir and takes you to the hotel, to your appointments and back to the airport. The only thing you book yourself is the flight, and your coordinator helps you choose dates that fit your treatment.

Are there any hidden costs?

No hidden costs: the price in your treatment plan is the price you pay. The plan lists every tooth and every item — including a bone graft or sinus lift if your scan shows you need one — before you book anything, so there are no surprises in the chair.

How much do Turkey teeth cost?

At TUA Dental a zirconia crown is £145, an E.max veneer £185, a dental implant with zirconia crown £375 and All-on-4 £2,660 per jaw; a full set of 20 zirconia crowns is £2,900. Hotel and VIP transfer included. Every price, set prices for 8 to 24 teeth and what each package includes are on Turkey teeth cost 2026.

Do you have prices in euro?

Yes. Patients from Ireland see every price in euro on our Ireland page — an implant with crown is €440, All-on-4 €3,120 per jaw — and the cost calculator switches between pounds and euro. Patients from Northern Ireland pay in pounds.

Your visit to Kuşadası

How many days do I need in Turkey?

Six days for crowns, veneers or a Hollywood Smile, planned over up to eight for larger sets. Implants and All-on-4 take two visits: three days (up to five) to place the implants and six days (up to eight) for the final crowns. Your treatment plan tells you exactly how many days you need before you book a flight.

How many trips do I need for dental implants?

Two. On the first visit the implants are placed; they then heal for two to three months at home — three to six with a bone graft or sinus lift — and on the second visit your crowns are made in our own lab and fitted. Hotel and VIP transfer are included on both visits. Our dental implants page explains both visits step by step.

Can I combine my treatment with a holiday?

Yes, and most patients do. Kuşadası is a world-famous holiday destination on the Aegean, Ephesus is half an hour away, and the clinic is open seven days a week, so your appointments fit around the days you want at the beach. Between appointments your time is your own. Our Kuşadası page tells you more about the town and the clinic.

Will the treatment hurt?

Treatment is done under local anaesthetic, so you feel pressure but no pain, and after implants, a bone graft or a sinus lift the medication you are given keeps you comfortable. After crowns and veneers, teeth can be sensitive to hot and cold for a few days.

Do you speak English?

Yes. An English-speaking personal patient coordinator is with you from your first message to your last check-up: before you travel, at every appointment in the clinic and after you fly home. Your treatment plan, your treatment record and your aftercare notes are in English.

Flights and getting here

Which airport do I fly to?

Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB). There are direct flights from London Stansted and Gatwick, from Manchester (a limited winter timetable) and from Dublin, every Saturday in winter and almost every day from 20 March 2027; Cork has direct flights in summer. From Northern Ireland, patients fly from Dublin. Our Kuşadası page has the flights from each airport, season by season.

How far is the clinic from the airport?

About 45 minutes by VIP transfer, which is included. Your driver meets you at arrivals in Izmir, takes you to your hotel a few minutes from the clinic and brings you back to the airport at the end of your stay.

When can I fly home after treatment?

After crowns, veneers or a Hollywood Smile, as soon as your final check-up is done on the last day. After dental implants, on day three, after your final check — the implants are placed on day one. After a bone graft or a sinus lift, two to three days after the procedure, once your dentist has checked the site. Your plan builds this into your dates.

Do you book the flights?

Flights are not included in the price, and you book them yourself so you can choose your airport and times. We help you plan them, free: your coordinator checks the outbound and return dates against your treatment plan before you book.

Guarantee and aftercare

What guarantee do I get?

A lifetime guarantee on your implants and five years on crowns, in writing. You also go home with an implant passport, your 3D scan and a treatment record, so any dentist can see exactly what was done.

What is an implant passport?

A record of every implant we place: the brand, the size and the position in your jaw. With it, any dentist anywhere can identify the implant and the parts that fit it, so routine care, repairs and replacement crowns are straightforward. Every implant patient at TUA Dental receives one.

What happens if something goes wrong when I'm home?

You message your coordinator, send a photograph, and our dentist looks at it and tells you what to do. Many questions are settled that way; if you need to see a dentist, we tell you whether your own dentist can help or whether we plan a visit with you. Your guarantee is written down. Our guide to Turkey teeth gone wrong explains what good aftercare looks like and how to check it before you book.

Will my own dentist look after my new teeth?

Yes. Dentists in the UK and Ireland see patients treated abroad for check-ups and routine care, and the records you take home — implant passport, treatment record, X-rays — make their job easy. Keep your six-monthly check-ups as you would with your own teeth.

Choosing a clinic

Is TUA Dental licensed?

Yes. TUA Dental holds the Turkish Ministry of Health's International Health Tourism Authorisation and is listed on HealthTürkiye, the Ministry's list of approved providers that the UK government's travel advice points patients to. The clinic is certified to ISO 9001 and a member of the Turkish Dental Association.

Who will treat me?

A named dentist from our team of five, including a specialist in periodontology, led by our Principal Dentist, Tuğçe Arslan, who has placed more than 2,200 implants herself; the clinic plans more than 220 smile designs a year. You know who plans your treatment before you book, and your treatment plan carries that dentist's name.

How do I know what my new teeth will look like?

Your new smile is designed digitally to your face, and you approve the design on screen before any tooth is prepared. On day two it is tried in your mouth as a mock-up, and nothing is cemented until you approve the shape, length and shade in a mirror, not from a shade card — as natural or as bright as you choose. Veneers or crowns, and how to choose your shade explains the choices.

Is it safe to have dental treatment in Turkey?

At a well-run clinic, yes. What matters is the clinic, not the country: a licensed clinic, a named dentist, a design you approve before any preparation and a try-in before anything is fitted, branded materials named in writing, an implant passport and aftercare after you fly home. How to check a clinic before you book sets out ten checks, and we answer every one of them in writing before you travel.

Patients from Ireland

Can I claim Med 2 tax relief for treatment in Turkey?

Yes. Revenue allows relief on non-routine dental treatment carried out outside Ireland — implants, crowns, veneers and bridges among them — at the standard rate of 20%. Our dentist completes your Form Med 2 before you fly home, and you keep it with your receipts. Our Med 2 guide explains how to claim, step by step.

How do I get to Kuşadası from Ireland?

Fly direct from Dublin to Izmir — every Saturday in winter and almost every day from 20 March 2027 — or from Cork in summer; your VIP transfer to Kuşadası takes about 45 minutes and is included. From Northern Ireland, the bus to Dublin Airport takes about an hour and fifty minutes. Our Ireland page has euro prices, flights and Med 2 in one place.
