Why London patients travel to Istanbul for dental work
Private dental prices in London run 20–30% above the UK national average — making dental tourism savings even larger for Londoners. Private dental prices have risen sharply since 2020, and NHS dental appointments are increasingly hard to access — particularly for complex work like implants, veneers, and full mouth restorations, which NHS doesn't cover at all.
Istanbul is 3.5–4 hours from London. Europe's biggest city — history, food, and some of the world's best dental clinics. Istanbul has over 600 dental clinics serving international patients. Verified clinics use Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and MIS implants with ISO/JCI certification.

All prices in GBP. London prices are average private dental rates (London carries a 20–25% premium vs the UK national average).Istanbul prices are verified clinic averages (2026).

Most dental tourism sites are based abroad. MyDentalFly is a UK company, run from the UK, for UK patients.
📞 UK phone number you can actually call
Call us on 020 4634 2312 — answered by people in the UK who understand NHS waiting times, UK private dental prices, and what British patients going to Istanbul actually need to know.

No currency confusion, no hidden FX markups. Every price you see on MyDentalFly is in GBP — including treatment costs, flight estimates, and your total trip breakdown.
📋 Your records, in your patient portal
All your treatment notes, implant serial numbers, and clinical records are stored in your MyDentalFly patient portal — accessible from London if your local dentist needs them.
✓ Clinics we've personally verified
Unlike WhatClinic or Dental Departures — which list any clinic that pays — every clinic on MyDentalFly has been vetted by us: accreditations, implant brands, dentist qualifications. We've rejected clinics that failed this process.
Istanbul: More Than Just Dental Treatment
Most patients stay 7 days. Treatment fills 3–5 of those days. Here's what you do with the rest.
Budget check: Return flights from London (£80–200) +7 nights hotel (£420–840) + food & activities (approx £210–420) = total trip overhead of roughly £1050–1330. Your dental savings will almost certainly exceed this — often many times over.

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.

London vs Istanbul — Dental Treatment FAQs
How much cheaper is dental treatment in Istanbul vs London?
A standard dental implant in London costs around £3,688 at a private practice. The same treatment in Istanbul costs £400–550 — a saving of up to 89%. Even when you factor in return flights (£80–200) and 7 nights' hotel (£420–840), the total cost is substantially less than staying in London.
How do I fly from London to Istanbul?
Turkish Airlines, easyJet, British Airways all fly from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted to Istanbul Airport (IST), Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). The flight takes approximately 3.5–4 hours. Return fares typically range from £80–£200 depending on season and how far in advance you book. Turkish Airlines offer particularly good availability and connectivity.
Is dental treatment in Istanbul as good as in London?
For materials and implant brands, yes — leading Istanbul clinics use the same Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and MIS implants used in top London practices. The quality difference comes from individual dentist skill, not geography. Turkish Ministry of Health regulations and JCI-accredited clinics ensure clinical standards for international patients. MyDentalFly only lists clinics we've personally verified — their qualifications, equipment, and implant brand documentation.
How long do I need to take off work for dental treatment in Istanbul?
Most patients book 7 days including travel. For crowns and veneers: 5–6 days. For dental implants: 7 days. For All-on-4: 7–10 days. Some patients split their treatment between two trips — implant placement first, then the crown fitting 3–6 months later. Clinics schedule appointments efficiently to make the most of your stay.
What if something goes wrong after I return to London?
This is the most important question — and why using a UK-based platform like MyDentalFly matters. We hold all your treatment documentation, implant serial numbers, and clinical records in your patient portal. Our UK phone line (020 4634 2312) is staffed by people who understand the NHS, UK private dental care, and exactly what questions British patients need answered. All clinics on our platform provide written guarantees, and if anything needs follow-up, we act as your intermediary.
Do I need travel insurance for a dental trip to Istanbul?
Yes. Declare the dental treatment purpose when buying travel insurance — some standard policies exclude elective medical procedures. A specialist dental tourism policy or a comprehensive travel policy that covers medical treatment is recommended. Standard UK travel insurance applies for Turkey — check it covers dental complications and potential delays to your return flight.
