What Turkey packages typically include
Why Istanbul for all-on-6 dental implants
Istanbul is Turkey's medical tourism capital, home to the highest concentration of JCI-accredited hospitals and specialist dental clinics in the country. This regulatory rigour ensures consistent surgical standards, modern equipment, and comprehensive patient safety protocols. Direct 4-hour flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Edinburgh make Istanbul exceptionally convenient for UK and Irish patients, eliminating lengthy travel and complex logistics. Major clinics operate dedicated international patient departments with English-speaking coordinators.
All-on-6 implants in Istanbul benefit from surgeon expertise developed across thousands of cases annually. The cost differential, driven by lower operational overheads rather than compromised quality, reflects Turkish market economics rather than clinical standards. JCI accreditation requires adherence to international infection control, anaesthesia safety, and implant success benchmarking. Turkish dental specialists often train internationally (Europe, USA) and maintain membership in international implant societies, ensuring techniques align with global best practice.

What to check before choosing a clinic
Frequently asked questions
What is included in the £3,500-£5,500 all-on-6 cost in Turkey?
This covers all six implants, full-arch prosthetic fabrication, surgical placement, anaesthesia, imaging, and materials. Airport transfers and accommodation coordination are typically included. Medicines and aftercare video consultations are included; UK dental care or repairs may incur additional fees.
How long is recovery after all-on-6 implants in Istanbul?
Immediate recovery: 3-5 days before flying. You'll wear a temporary or fitted prosthetic from surgery. Full osseointegration (implant fusion to bone) takes 3-6 months; minor sensitivity and swelling subside within 2 weeks. Avoid hard foods and heavy lifting for 3 weeks.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Most patients stay 5-7 days: one day pre-operative assessment, one surgery day, three post-op days, then one final check-up. Some clinics fit the prosthetic immediately; others schedule it 5-7 days post-surgery. Flight and recovery timing can extend stays to 10 days.
Is all-on-6 implant surgery safe in Turkey?
Yes, when chosen from JCI-accredited clinics. These facilities meet international infection control, equipment sterilisation, and anaesthesia safety standards. Turkish surgeons are internationally trained; success rates align with UK and EU data (95%+ at five years). Verify credentials and facility accreditation before booking.
What aftercare and follow-up do I receive after surgery?
Comprehensive aftercare includes post-operative instructions, medications, and emergency contact details. Most verified clinics provide remote video consultations at weeks one, three, and six. UK dental teams can manage minor repairs; major revisions may require return to Turkey within a defined warranty period.
Can I eat normally after all-on-6 implants fitted in Istanbul?
Initially, no. For 3-4 weeks, stick to soft foods (yoghurt, soups, eggs). After six weeks, you can gradually introduce firmer foods. By three months (after full osseointegration), most patients eat normally, including harder foods. The prosthetic design is durable but avoid very hard or sticky foods indefinitely.
