How much do dental implants cost in Ireland?

A dental implant with a crown typically costs €2,000–€3,000 in Ireland; the median of 25 published Irish price lists we read in October 2026 is about €2,300.¹ The lowest Dublin prices start at around €1,300 for the complete tooth and the highest specialist quotes reach €3,500 or more, before any bone grafting.

The spread comes from how clinics quote. Some headline prices — €650 to €1,800 — are for placing the implant only, with the abutment and crown added later; others are all-in and include the consultation, the 3D scan and the crown.¹ The only fair comparison is item by item, which is how the table below and our own treatment plans are written.

Implants, crowns and veneers are private treatment in Ireland: the PRSI Treatment Benefit Scheme pays for one dental examination a year and €50 towards a scale and polish, and does not extend to implants or crowns. What the State does give back is tax relief — 20% of the cost of non-routine treatment through Form Med 2, explained below.

Ireland vs Turkey: prices in euro

Like for like, a dental implant with a zirconia crown costs €440 at TUA Dental against about €2,300 in Ireland — 81% less — and All-on-4 costs €3,120 per jaw against about €11,000, 72% less.¹ The table compares the Irish median for each treatment with our price, and the saving holds whether you need one tooth or a full jaw.

No hidden costs: the price in your treatment plan is the price you pay.

Our prices include the consultation, 3D CT scan, digital impression and treatment plan, and hotel and VIP transfer are included with your treatment; flights are not, and we help you plan them free of charge. A zirconia crown in Ireland runs from about €650 to €1,300 and a porcelain veneer from €800 to €1,200, which is why a full set of 20 crowns there costs several times our €3,400 package.¹ Every price we charge is on our full price list, and the implants are the same brands Irish dentists place — Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Dentsply Sirona, Neodent and seven others — each with its own implant passport.

Claim 20% back with Form Med 2 — in Ireland or abroad

Revenue gives income tax relief at 20% on non-routine dental treatment, and its list includes crowns, veneers, bridgework and implants — "including bone grafting and bone augmentation". The relief is not limited to Irish clinics: in Revenue's own words, "you can claim for non-routine dental treatment performed outside of Ireland", as long as the dentist is a qualified practitioner under that country's laws.

Form Med 2 is the receipt your dentist completes after treatment; you keep it and claim through myAccount under health expenses, for up to four years back. Our dentist completes your Med 2 before you fly home, and you receive an itemised invoice in English with it. Routine care — fillings, scale and polish, extractions and dentures — and teeth whitening do not qualify, so your treatment plan shows which items do.

Because the relief applies to treatment in Ireland as well, the fair comparison is after relief on both sides: about €4,992 for both jaws with us against about €17,600 in Ireland. Our Med 2 guide explains the rules step by step — what qualifies, how to claim through myAccount, and the mistakes to avoid.

Dental insurance and treatment abroad

Most Irish dental insurance plans pay a share of crowns as "major treatment" after a waiting period and up to a yearly cap, and cover implants only in limited cases, such as after an accident.³ For most patients the larger saving is the 20% Med 2 relief, which applies whether or not you are insured, on the part of the bill you paid yourself.

If you have dental cover, check your policy's rules on treatment abroad and on pre-approval, which crowns and implants usually need. We give you your free treatment plan before you book, so you can send it to your insurer in advance, and an itemised invoice in English after treatment for any claim.

Kuşadası: the resort you already know

Dublin to Izmir is a direct flight of about 4½ hours, every Saturday through the winter and almost daily from 20 March 2027, and Kuşadası is about 45 minutes from Izmir airport by the VIP transfer we include.² Return fares between December and March are typically €100–€180, and in January and February a return can often be found for under €100.²

In winter the rhythm is Saturday to Saturday: you land in Izmir at 18:40, are met by your driver, and fly home from Izmir at 08:50 the following Saturday, which gives six full clinic days from Sunday to Friday. That is enough for crowns, veneers or a Hollywood Smile in one visit, with time for Ephesus or a day on the beach. Implants and All-on-4 take two visits, two to three months apart, with the implants placed on the first and the crowns fitted on the second; your coordinator plans both around the Saturday flights, and from 20 March the daily schedule allows our standard 3-day and 6-day visits. There are extra flights in the Christmas weeks, and from May to September Cork has direct flights to Izmir on Wednesdays and Saturdays as well.

Kuşadası is the Turkish resort Irish holidaymakers know best, with Ephesus half an hour away and your hotel a few minutes' walk from the clinic. Our Kuşadası page has the flights airport by airport, the hotel, and what to see between appointments.

Why Irish patients choose Kuşadası for their teeth

Irish patients have been travelling to Kuşadası for dental treatment for more than a decade, and TUA Dental treats more than 3,000 patients a year from 32 countries. The reasons are practical: a direct flight, prices in euro with no exchange-rate surprise, a resort the family can enjoy while you are in the chair, and one English-speaking coordinator from your first message to your last check-up.

• The same coordinator from start to finish. You write to one person, who knows your plan, books your transfer and hotel, and stays your contact after you fly home.
• Five dentists, one of them a specialist in periodontology. Principal Dentist Tuğçe Arslan has placed more than 2,200 implants, and the clinic completes more than 220 smile designs a year.
• Modern equipment. 3D CT scanner, intraoral scanner and our own CAD/CAM lab, so your crowns are designed and milled in our own lab and a shade or shape adjustment at the try-in is done the same day.
• Credentials you can check. Ministry of Health health-tourism licence, ISO 9001, membership of the Turkish Dental Association, and an implant passport for every implant.

If you have read Irish warnings about "Turkey teeth", our guide to what Turkey teeth are explains the term — and the next section answers the questions those warnings tell you to ask.

Five questions you're told to ask before going abroad — our answers

Irish dental advice sites recommend asking five questions before you book treatment abroad, and we would ask the same five. Here are our answers, in writing, before you spend a cent.

Aftercare when you're back in Ireland

You fly home with four documents: your implant passport, your 3D scan, a treatment report and your written guarantee — lifetime on implants, five years on crowns. With those, any dentist in Ireland can see exactly which implant was placed where and look after your check-ups and cleaning.

Aftercare does not stop at Dublin Airport: your coordinator remains your contact, and if anything feels wrong you send a photo first and our dentist tells you what to do. Our guide to Turkey teeth gone wrong explains how to check a clinic's aftercare before you book — and what good aftercare looks like.

Treatments Irish patients travel for

Four treatments make up most Irish patients' plans: All-on-4 and All-on-6 (€3,120 and €3,660 per jaw), dental implants (€440 with crown), E.max veneers (€220 per tooth) and the Hollywood Smile (20 zirconia crowns, €3,400). Each has its own page with the step-by-step process; the prices below are in euro and identical to our full price list.

Coming from Northern Ireland?

Dublin Airport is about 1 hour 50 minutes from Belfast by coach, and the Saturday flight to Izmir leaves at 11:20, so a morning coach connects comfortably. Belfast and Derry have no direct flights to Izmir, which is why patients from Northern Ireland fly from Dublin — and are met by the same driver in Izmir.

Our prices for Northern Ireland are in pounds on our full price list — a dental implant with zirconia crown is £375 — and our UK implant cost page compares them with prices in the UK. Med 2 relief is for Irish taxpayers; it does not apply in Northern Ireland.
