Make huge savings on dental implants in Antalya—the Turkish Riviera that offers sun, sea, sand and high-quality dental care you’d never imagine was possible at 50%-70% less than the cost back home.

Antalya is an ideal destination for British and European patients seeking a dental holiday. It offers significantly lower costs, constant sunshine, and friendly locals. The holiday resorts in Antalya maintain their unique character, avoiding overdevelopment and showcasing ancient architecture. This combination of affordability, pleasant weather, and inspiring, distinctive locations ensures an unforgettable experience for visitors.

if you are considering a trip to Antalya for your dental treatment, Dental Departures can help you find the right dentist and guarantee the best prices. We work alongside fully verified clinics and dentists in Antalya, Turkey. 

Situated on the Mediterranean coast of southwestern Turkey, between the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, Antalya is the heart of Turkey's tourism industry, drawing in about one-third of the country's foreign visitors. 

Antalya offers a wealth of activities for dental tourists to enjoy before undergoing treatment, including the Lycian Walk, the footpath that winds around the coast from Antalya to Fethiye taking in some remarkable sights and stunning views; the ancient underwater Lycian city that you can view clearly from a glass-bottomed boat and a nocturnal trip to see the legend of the fire-breathing monster are just a few of the highlights. Even the more unique, smaller attractions, like Sandland, that showcase elaborate and intricate sand sculptures are well thought out and eminently interesting.

For a cultural experience, visit the Antalya Museum, which houses an impressive collection of artifacts. Don’t miss the Düden Waterfalls, a beautiful natural attraction, and the vibrant local markets for a taste of Turkish culture.

Additionally, you can explore the well-preserved ancient city of Perge or the stunning Aspendos Theatre. The charming old town of Kaleiçi, with its narrow cobblestone streets and historic buildings, is perfect for leisurely strolls. Enjoy the pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters along the Mediterranean coast, or take a scenic cable car ride up Mount Tahtalı for breathtaking views. 

Getting dental implants in Antalya is certainly an option if you are looking for good-quality and value-for-money prices. The prices are low not because the quality is inferior, or the standard of dentistry sub-par, but because the cost of living in Turkey is a whole lot lower than it is at home. So, office rental, materials, wages and utility bills are less, which means those savings are passed on to you.

Dentists in Turkey are highly trained, so there's no need to worry about their skills. Dental education is quite similar worldwide, with Turkish dentists completing five years of medical school before graduating. They then undergo additional training to become specialists, just like in the UK. Thus, you will find that implantologists in Turkey are just as likely to be members of professional organisations, such as the International Congress of Oral Implantologists as implant specialists back home.

Furthermore, you’ll see that the dental clinics are ultra-modern and equipped with the latest technologies, including CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture), digital X-rays and 3D/CT scans.

The clinics listed on our website offer reliable, trustworthy dental care that meets, if not exceeds, expectations. We only partner with clinics we would feel comfortable receiving treatment from ourselves and we do a number of background checks before we list a clinic on our site. Our checks include onsite visits, criminal/legal records and collation of patient reviews, which we publish. We verify dentist qualifications and their professional memberships, as well as show clinic photos, maps and prices on our listings so you can make an informed decision about which clinic is right for you.

As a start, take a look below at some of our popular clinics for dental implants in Antalya:

– Beyaz Ada Clinic

– Markasya Dental Clinic

– Dental Smile Art

The procedure for dental implants is typically a two-stage procedure (and in some cases three), which is important to bear in mind if you are considering going to Antalya (or anywhere else, for that matter) for your treatment.

Generally, the procedure will take two trips to complete. The first trip is to insert the implant. It’s a fairly straightforward procedure where the dentist makes a small flap in your gum so they can access the jaw bone. A hole is made in the jaw and the implant is inserted. The gum flap is stitched back in place and the implant is left to fuse with the jaw bone in a process called osseointegration for at least 3 months, but it could be longer. The implant is completely below the gum line so you won’t see it.

When you go back for the second part of the procedure, this is when the false tooth (crown) is attached. The dentist opens up the gum to expose the implant and attaches an abutment, which joins the crown to the implant. This protrudes beyond the gum, and the crown is placed on top, covering the abutment and looking like one of your own teeth.

Both trips will require you to stay in Antalya for between 7 to 10 days before you return home. If your tooth loss is due to periodontal disease—an advanced form of gum disease that causes the bone around the tooth to deteriorate—you may need a bone graft to restore the missing bone before the implant procedure. In such cases, you will likely need three trips to complete the dental implant process.
