⚡ Quick Answer
A full dental trip to Turkey — treatment, flights, hotel, and transfers — typically costs 50–70% less than treatment alone in the UK. A single implant trip runs £800–£1,500 total. Full mouth All-on-4 costs £5,000–£8,000 including everything. MyDentalFly's free [Treatment Estimator](/tools/treatment-estimator) calculates your exact total in 60 seconds.
The quoted treatment price is never the full cost. Flights, accommodation, meals, transfers, and time off work all factor in. Yet most dental tourism websites only show the procedure price — leaving you to guess the rest.
Here's the real breakdown, based on 2026 data from MyDentalFly's verified clinic network.
The 5 Components of Your Total Cost
Every dental trip abroad has five cost layers. Here's what each one actually runs:
1. Treatment Cost (50–70% of total)
This is the price the clinic charges. It varies by treatment, implant brand, and destination.
| Treatment | Turkey | Hungary | Poland | UK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single implant + crown | £400–£900 | £600–£1,100 | £500–£1,000 | £2,500–£3,500 |
| 6 veneers | £1,200–£2,400 | £1,800–£3,000 | £1,500–£2,700 | £4,800–£7,200 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | £3,800–£7,000 | £5,000–£9,000 | £4,500–£6,500 | £14,000–£18,000 |
| Full mouth restoration | £6,000–£12,000 | £8,000–£16,000 | £7,000–£14,000 | £25,000–£40,000 |
These prices are from real clinic quotes on MyDentalFly, not estimates. Use the Savings Calculator to compare prices across all three destinations in your currency.
2. Flights (5–15% of total)
| Route | Budget airline | Standard | Peak season |
|---|---|---|---|
| London → Istanbul | £80–£150 return | £150–£250 | £200–£350 |
| London → Budapest | £60–£120 return | £100–£180 | £150–£250 |
| London → Krakow/Warsaw | £50–£100 return | £80–£150 | £120–£200 |
| Manchester → Istanbul | £100–£200 return | £180–£280 | £230–£380 |
| USA (East Coast) → Istanbul | £350–£550 return | £500–£800 | £600–£1,000 |
Book 6–8 weeks ahead for best prices. MyDentalFly's Flight Estimator shows routes, airlines, and prices from your specific departure city.
3. Hotel Accommodation (10–20% of total — often FREE)
Here's what most comparison sites don't tell you: many clinics include complimentary hotel accommodation for treatments above a certain value. On MyDentalFly's partner network:
- Implant cases (3+ implants): Most Istanbul clinics include 5–7 nights at a 4-star hotel
- All-on-4 / full mouth cases: Hotel always included — typically 7–10 nights
- Veneer cases (6+ teeth): Hotel often included for 4–5 nights
- Smaller treatments: Hotel not usually included, but budget £40–£80/night in Istanbul (4-star)
Even when not included, accommodation costs are modest:
| City | Budget (3-star) | Mid-range (4-star) | Premium (5-star) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Istanbul | £25–£45/night | £45–£80/night | £80–£200/night |
| Budapest | £30–£50/night | £50–£90/night | £90–£220/night |
| Krakow | £20–£40/night | £40–£70/night | £70–£180/night |
4. Airport Transfers (usually FREE)
VIP airport transfers — round trip — are included as standard by most MyDentalFly partner clinics. A private driver meets you at arrivals with a name board and takes you to the hotel and clinic.
If not included: airport taxi in Istanbul costs £15–£25 (Sabiha Gökçe) or £20–£35 (Istanbul Airport) to city centre.
5. The Extras You Didn't Budget For
Included by most MyDentalFly clinics (no extra charge):
- Panoramic X-ray and CBCT 3D scan on arrival
- Medications (antibiotics, painkillers)
- Aftercare kit (special toothbrush, mouthwash, care instructions)
- 24/7 WhatsApp support during and after your trip
- Free excursions between appointments — city tours, Turkish baths, spa sessions, and attraction tickets (clinic-specific)
You'll pay for:
- Meals: budget £15–£25/day in Istanbul, £12–£20/day in Budapest
- Travel insurance with dental cover: £30–£80 for a single trip
- Time off work: typically 5–7 days for implants, 4–5 for veneers

How to Calculate YOUR Exact Cost
Generic price ranges only go so far. Your cost depends on your specific teeth, your departure city, your travel dates, and which clinic you choose.
MyDentalFly's free tools give you a personalised number:
Step 1: Treatment Estimator — Select your treatments and quantities. The estimator shows clinic prices plus flights, hotel, and transfers for a complete trip cost. Takes 60 seconds.
Step 2: Savings Calculator — See exactly how much you save compared to UK, US, EU, or UAE prices. Shows your saving in your local currency (GBP, USD, EUR, or AED).
Step 3: Flight Estimator — Enter your departure city. See routes, airlines, best months to fly, and price ranges.
Step 4: Free Dental Assessment — For the most accurate quote, complete the interactive dental chart and receive a personalised Dental Health Report worth £50. Clinics quote based on YOUR specific situation — not generic estimates.
What About Hidden Costs?
The most common complaint in dental tourism isn't bad work — it's surprise costs. Here's how to avoid them:
Get an itemised quote. "All-on-4 — £5,500" isn't good enough. You need: implants, abutments, temporary bridge, permanent prosthesis, CBCT scan, extractions, medications — each line itemised. MyDentalFly's partner clinics provide itemised quotes as standard.
Confirm what's included. Hotel? Transfers? Second trip? Temporary crowns? Medications? Ask before you book — or use MyDentalFly where these details are shown upfront on each clinic's profile.
Ask about extras. Bone grafting (£150–£350 per site), sinus lifts (£250–£500), sedation (£200–£400), and night guards (£50–£120) are common add-ons. A proper assessment identifies these BEFORE you travel — which is why MyDentalFly's dental assessment is worth doing first.
MyDentalFly is a dental tourism platform that matches patients with verified clinics in Turkey, Hungary, and Poland. The platform offers a free interactive dental assessment, a personalised Dental Health Report worth £50, real-time clinic pricing in GBP/USD/EUR/AED, and free tools including a Savings Calculator, Treatment Estimator, Flight Estimator, and Implant Brand Comparison — all free, no sign-up required.

Key Takeaway
Before you book anything, get a dental health check. Knowing exactly what treatment you need — and what it should cost — protects you from surprise bills, unnecessary procedures, and clinics that don't match your needs.
Know what you may need before you fly
The most common concerns we hear from patients:
- •“The price changed when I arrived — they said I needed extra work”
- •“I didn't know which clinic was right for my situation”
- •“I had no way to compare — every clinic quoted different things”
We built MyDentalFly to solve these problems. Not by replacing clinics, but by making sure you understand what you may need before any clinic gets involved.
Our interactive dental health check lets you map your teeth, answer a few health questions, and get a free report showing what treatment you may need and what it could cost. It's interactive, easy to understand, and designed for people without a dental background.
From there, we match you with clinics based on your actual dental situation — not every clinic suits every case. Some cases need experienced surgeons, some need specific equipment. You compare real treatment plans side by side and decide when you're ready.

Why use a platform for dental treatment abroad?
Think of us like Booking.com for dental tourism — except we assess you first.
Getting dental work abroad means navigating a different healthcare system, a different language, and clinics you've never visited — all while trying to understand what treatment you actually need. Most people do this alone, piecing together information from WhatsApp messages and online reviews.
MyDentalFly organises the entire process. Your dental needs are assessed before you travel, you compare treatment plans from vetted clinics side by side, and everything — from your initial assessment to your aftercare notes — is documented on your patient portal. We're not a clinic and we don't sell treatment. We're the layer between you and the clinic that keeps everything transparent and on track.
