“I would like to sincerely thank Adam for his outstanding support, professionalism, and care throughout my journey. From the beginning, he has been kind, patient, and attentive, always taking the time to answer my questions and make sure I feel comfortable and well-informed. His clear communication and warm personality made the entire experience much easier and reassuring. Adam consistently goes above and beyond in his support, showing genuine care and dedication…”
“I had the pleasure of visiting this dental clinic in Turkey and was welcomed with respect, kindness, and a hospitality that made me feel at home. I felt completely at ease from the very first moment and trusted their professionalism immediately. Even my second visit for a check-up was flawless: consistent care, attention, and warmth. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking skillful care combined with a truly human experience.”
“My teeth cleaning went well. Very satisfied.”
What implant patients said, in their own words
“I spent months comparing clinics online. The team was the only one that asked for my CBCT scan before quoting a price. The surgery went exactly as planned and I flew home with fixed teeth on day three.”
All-on-4 full arch · NexWell Clinics, Istanbul
“After years of dentures and two failed implant attempts in the UK, the surgeon reviewed my CBCT scan remotely and said All-on-6 was possible despite my bone loss. I flew out and left 8 days later with a full set of fixed teeth. Total cost including flights and hotel: £14,000. My UK quote had been £47,000.”
All-on-6, both arches (zirconia bridges) · NexWell Clinics, Istanbul
“I was told by two dentists at home that I didn't have enough bone. They did the graft and implants in one trip. Six months later I came back for the final crowns. Incredible team.”
Bone graft + implants · NexWell Clinics, Istanbul
“My London specialist quoted £22,000 for All-on-4 with immediate load. The written quote here was £5,800: same Nobel Biocare implants, same immediate-load protocol. Extractions and placement on day 2, temporary teeth day 3, home day 7 with a confident smile. The surgeon was honest throughout and available by WhatsApp every day.”

“After a bad experience at another clinic in Turkey, I was very cautious. This team restored my trust completely. Professional, transparent, and genuinely caring. Night and day difference.”
All-on-6 rehabilitation · NexWell Clinics, Istanbul
“My dentist quoted £3,200 for a single Nobel Biocare implant in Glasgow. The written quote here for the same implant system was £720 including the crown. I was sceptical. Surely there's a catch? There wasn't. Four months post-op, fully integrated, and I've just ordered the permanent crown.”
Single implant (Nobel Biocare) + 2 crowns · NexWell Clinics, Istanbul
“Saved about $28,000 compared to quotes in New York. But honestly, the real value was the care quality. The senior surgeon has 40 years of experience and it shows in every detail.”

“What convinced me was the video call with the surgeon before I booked my flight. He walked me through every step, showed me the 3D plan, and never once pressured me. The result speaks for itself.”
Full-mouth implants · NexWell Clinics, Istanbul
“We decided to combine our treatments and make a trip of it. The clinic accommodated our different schedules so we could share the same days off. Emma's 3 implants and David's 10-veneer smile came to £9,200 combined, vs UK quotes of £24,000+. No regrets, and we've already recommended the clinic to four other people.”

Individual results vary. These accounts describe the experience of specific NexWell patients and are not a prediction of your own outcome.
Implant quality: same brands, different prices
The implant systems used at accredited Istanbul clinics are identical to those used by Harley Street specialists: Straumann (Switzerland), Nobel Biocare (Sweden), Osstem (South Korea), and Astra Tech (Sweden).
The ceramics laboratories supplying Istanbul dental clinics with zirconia crowns and bridges also supply dental practices in Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. The material standard is the same; the labour and overhead cost is significantly different.
Many implantologists on the NexWell team hold advanced qualifications from European or US training programmes and have placed several thousand implants over their careers.
Accreditation and safety
NexWell pathways use Ministry of Health–licensed facilities. Some also hold TEMOS (TEMOS International Healthcare Accreditation), a Germany-based standard focused on international patient care, verified through on-site audit. JCI is relevant mainly for hospitals. Always confirm a facility's current status directly.
In the UK, private dental clinics are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The accreditation frameworks differ but both aim to ensure patient safety and clinical quality.
The primary risk in dental tourism is not the quality of the procedure itself: it is selecting the wrong clinic. Treating with a provider like NexWell, where the same team that assesses your case also carries out the treatment, substantially reduces this risk.

What to consider before deciding
Turkey is likely right if…
- ✓You need multiple implants or full-arch treatment
- ✓UK private quotes are above $3,800 per implant
- ✓You can take 7 days for a trip
- ✓You want treatment completed in one visit
- ✓You are comfortable treating directly with a NexWell team
UK may be preferable if…
- →You only need a single straightforward implant
- →You have an existing dental relationship managing complex ongoing treatment
- →Travel is not feasible due to health, mobility, or timing
- →You require immediate treatment and cannot wait for coordination
- →Your case involves unusual bone deficiency requiring staged procedures
What warranty comes with a dental implant in Turkey?
| Case type | Warranty term |
|---|---|
| Full-arch (All-on-4 / All-on-6 / full-mouth) | Lifetime on the titanium implant fixture, 5 years on the crowns and bridge |
| Single implant or crown | 5-year restoration warranty on the crown; the fixture term for a single-implant case is set out in your own treatment agreement, not assumed to be the same as the full-arch term above |
What takes the warranty away
- Smoking
- Untreated gum disease
- Missed peri-implant maintenance visits (at least every 5-6 months, per Monje et al. 2016)
- Accidental trauma or an accident
- Clenching or grinding without wearing the protective guard you were given
- An uncontrolled systemic condition, such as unmanaged diabetes
- Work altered or repaired at another clinic without agreement
This list describes standard implantology practice, not a clause-by-clause contract: the binding version is the one written into your own treatment agreement with your NexWell clinic, so ask for the full terms and exclusions in writing before you pay anything. None of this is a clinical guarantee, and it is not offered as one: a warranty is a commercial undertaking about components and workmanship, not a prediction of how your bone will heal.

Long-Term Value: Why Aftercare Planning Affects What Implants Actually Cost You
The sticker price of a dental implant in Turkey is only one dimension of its total cost. The other dimension is what maintaining, adjusting and protecting that implant costs over the subsequent years.
Implants placed with proper bone assessment, appropriate loading protocols and good prosthetic design require relatively little maintenance beyond routine hygiene and periodic check appointments. Those placed in compromised bone, with mismatched bite loading or without clear follow-up planning may require early restorative revisions, repeated adjustments or in rare cases implant removal and replacement.
For international patients, remote follow-up arrangements and documented clinical records significantly reduce the cost of managing minor post-treatment issues at home. A clinic that provides a complete case summary, radiographs and prosthetic specifications at discharge allows a local dentist to handle minor interventions rather than requiring the patient to fly back to Turkey for each small concern.

Dental Implant Cost Questions to Get in Writing Before Booking
A low headline number rarely tells the whole story on implants. Confirm these points in writing before a cost comparison means anything:
- Which implant system is being used and what is the documented brand and series?
- Does the quote include the crown and abutment or only the implant fixture?
- What is the bone assessment protocol and does the quoted price assume adequate bone?
- Is sedation included and if so what type?
- Are extraction fees inside the quoted figure?
- Does the price cover provisional teeth and if so what material and method?
- What is the definitive restoration material and when is it delivered?
- What is included in a single visit versus what requires a return trip?
- How are adjustment and complication costs handled after the patient returns home?
The quote only becomes a decision-ready figure once the implant system, crown inclusion and return-visit terms are confirmed in writing.
