This guide walks you through the entire experience — from the moment you submit your enquiry to the moment you return home with your new smile.

Step 1: Free Online Consultation

Everything begins with your free online consultation. You do not need to be in Antalya — or even certain you want to proceed — to get started.

All you need to do is share some photos of your teeth (a front view, a side view, and one showing the area of concern) along with a brief description of what you would like to achieve. You can do this via our website, WhatsApp, or email.

Within 24 to 48 hours, our team reviews your case and comes back to you with a written treatment plan, an all-inclusive price, and recommended timings. If you have questions, we discuss them by phone or video call.

There is no obligation, no pressure, and no cost.

Step 2: Planning Your Trip

Once you decide to proceed, we take care of the logistics so you do not have to.

• Clinic appointment — we book your treatment dates and confirm your itinerary
• Flights — Antalya Airport (AYT) has direct flights from most major UK airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Bristol. Flight times are typically 3.5 to 4 hours.
• Hotel — we recommend partner hotels within easy reach of the clinic, with rates from approximately £50 to £120 per night. Many patients choose to combine their trip with a genuine holiday.
• Airport transfer — our partner clinics provide a private transfer from Antalya Airport to your hotel and to the clinic. This is included in the treatment price.

Most dental treatment trips last between 5 and 7 days. Some patients extend their stay to enjoy Antalya.

Step 3: Arriving in Antalya

When you land at Antalya Airport, a driver from the clinic will be waiting for you with your name on a sign. You will be taken directly to your hotel to check in and rest.

Your first clinic appointment is typically the morning after you arrive. This initial visit involves a full clinical examination, a 3D CBCT scan, and a detailed consultation with your treating dentist. The dentist will confirm the treatment plan, answer any remaining questions, and in most cases begin treatment the same day.

All of our partner clinics have English-speaking staff. You will not face a language barrier at any point.

Step 4: Your Treatment

Dental treatment in Antalya follows the same clinical protocols as anywhere in Europe. Your comfort is the priority. Modern anaesthesia and sedation options mean that the most common concern patients have — pain — simply does not materialise.

For dental implants specifically:

The implant placement procedure takes approximately 45 to 90 minutes per implant under local anaesthesia. Most patients describe it as far less uncomfortable than they expected. After placement, there is typically mild soreness for two to three days, well managed with standard pain relief.

You will return to the clinic for follow-up checks on subsequent days. Your dentist will confirm healing is progressing well before you leave Antalya.

For veneers and crowns:

These treatments are generally completed within 3 to 5 days. Teeth are prepared, temporary restorations fitted, and the final porcelain or zirconia restorations bonded on a subsequent visit.

Step 5: Exploring Antalya

One of the unexpected benefits reported by virtually every patient who comes to Antalya is the city itself.

Antalya’s Old Town (Kaleiçi) is a beautifully preserved Ottoman harbour district with cobbled streets, Roman ruins, and excellent restaurants. The city’s beaches — Lara Beach and Konyaaltı — are among the finest in the Mediterranean. The Düden Waterfalls, the Archaeological Museum (one of Turkey’s best), and the Taurus Mountains are all within easy reach.

The climate is warm and sunny for most of the year, and the food is exceptional. Many patients tell us they book a second or third trip not just for dental treatment but because they simply want to come back.

Step 6: Coming Home

Before you leave, your clinic will provide written aftercare instructions, a full treatment record (which you can share with your UK dentist), and contact details for any post-return questions. Our team at Dental Health Tourism also remains available to support you after you return.

For implant patients, a follow-up visit is typically scheduled 3 to 6 months later to fit the permanent crown — or, in some cases, this can be arranged with a UK dental partner.

A Final Note on Trusting the Process

The biggest shift most patients experience is simply trusting the process. From the first message to the final check-up, Dental Health Tourism is with you at every stage — coordinating, communicating, and ensuring that your experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Thousands of UK patients have made this journey. They came with questions and concerns, and they returned with transformed smiles, money in their pockets, and — almost universally — a story they love telling.

The Headline Numbers

Let us start with the most commonly searched comparison: a single dental implant.

In the United Kingdom, a single dental implant including the crown typically costs between £2,000 and £3,500 at a private clinic. NHS implants are extremely rare and only available in very specific circumstances. On the NHS, patients are more likely to be offered a denture or bridge as an alternative.

In Antalya, the same procedure — a titanium implant placed by a specialist oral surgeon, with a zirconia or porcelain-fused crown fitted on top — typically costs between £400 and £850 all-inclusive.

That is a saving of between £1,500 and £2,700 on a single tooth. For patients needing multiple implants, the maths becomes increasingly compelling.

What is Included in Antalya Clinic Prices?

One of the most common concerns about dental tourism pricing is hidden costs — paying a low headline price only to discover additional charges for consultations, scans, or aftercare. At Dental Health Tourism partner clinics, quoted prices are all-inclusive and cover:

• Initial examination and diagnosis
• 3D CBCT scan (cone beam CT) where required
• All surgical procedures
• The implant fixture, abutment and crown
• Local anaesthesia and sedation options
• Post-operative medications
• Follow-up appointments during your stay
• Written treatment guarantee

The True Total Cost: Including Travel and Accommodation

A fair comparison must account for the full cost of travelling to Antalya. Here is a realistic total cost calculation for a patient needing two implants:

Compared to the UK private cost for the same two implants — approximately £5,000 — the patient saves between £2,800 and £3,150, even after accounting for all travel expenses.

Are There Any Hidden Risks to Factor In?

The question of risk is important. There are two scenarios patients sometimes worry about:

1. What if something goes wrong after I return?

Reputable clinics provide written treatment guarantees, typically covering the implant fixture for 5 to 10 years. Dental Health Tourism facilitates ongoing communication between you and your treating clinic, and we work with UK-based dental partners who can provide follow-up care if needed.

2. What if I need additional treatment I was not quoted for?

This is rare when the initial treatment planning is thorough. Our partner clinics conduct a 3D scan and comprehensive assessment before confirming your treatment plan and price. If additional work is identified, it is communicated before treatment begins — never sprung on you mid-procedure.
