How many implants do you need?
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces a missing tooth root. Once placed into your jawbone and fully healed, it acts as a permanent anchor for a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthetic. Unlike dentures, implants don't move, click, or need adhesive — and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
The UK average cost for a single implant (implant + abutment + crown) is £2,000–£3,500. In Turkey, the same treatment from a top-tier clinic costs £350–£800 — the same implant brands, the same procedures, the same outcomes. The difference is overheads, not quality.
Single Implant
One missing tooth replaced with a titanium implant and porcelain crown. The gold standard for tooth replacement.
From £350 abroad
vs £2,000–3,500 UK
All-on-4
Full arch of teeth supported by just 4 implants. Fixed, same-day teeth. Life-changing for those missing most or all teeth.
From £3,500 per arch
vs £12,000–18,000 UK
All-on-6
Six implants per arch for greater stability — ideal for patients with higher bone volume. More secure than All-on-4.
From £4,500 per arch
vs £15,000–22,000 UK
What Affects the Price of Implants Abroad?
Implant brand
Standard brands (Osstem, MIS) cost £350–450. Premium brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare) cost £550–800. Both are clinically proven — the difference is heritage and country of manufacture.
Number of implants
Prices are per implant. A full smile reconstruction might need 6–8 implants plus crowns. All-on-4 uses only 4 implants to support 12–14 teeth — better value for full-mouth cases.
Bone grafting
If you've had a missing tooth for years, the bone may have shrunk. A bone graft (£150–300 abroad) is sometimes needed before the implant can be placed. Our assessment flags this in advance.
Crown material
Zirconia crowns (the white caps on top) are the standard. E-max or monolithic zirconia are premium options. Most overseas implant packages include a zirconia crown as standard.
Sinus lift
For upper back teeth, a sinus lift may be required if bone height is insufficient. Costs £300–500 abroad vs £1,000–1,500 in the UK.
Number of trips
Standard implants require 2 trips (placement + crown). All-on-4 can often be done in 1 trip with temporary teeth on day 1. This affects your total budget including flights and accommodation.

How to Choose the Right Country
Budget is the priority
Turkey offers the lowest prices in Europe, typically 70–80% below UK costs. Istanbul has the most clinics and the widest choice of implant brands.
Turkey guide →Closer to home
Hungary and Poland are 1–2 hour flights from the UK. Budapest in particular has a long-established dental tourism industry and EU-regulated care standards.
Hungary guide →Complex treatment
For full mouth reconstruction, All-on-4, or cases requiring bone grafts, look for clinics with in-house CT scanning, bone graft specialists, and a track record with complex cases.

Still researching? Good — that's exactly what you should be doing.
The most common things we hear from patients: price changes on arrival, unexpected extra treatments, and not knowing whether the clinic is right for their case. Our dental health check helps you understand what you may need before any clinic gets involved — so you arrive informed, not hopeful.

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.

Dental Implants Abroad — Common Questions
Is it safe to get dental implants abroad?
Yes — provided you choose a verified clinic with qualified implantologists and use titanium implants from recognised brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Osstem, MIS). The key risks are choosing on price alone, skipping the assessment phase, and not arranging proper aftercare at home. MyDentalFly only lists clinics that have passed our vetting process.
Which country is cheapest for dental implants?
Turkey is typically the most affordable destination, with standard implants from £350–500 per implant. Hungary and Poland are slightly higher (£450–800) but significantly closer for UK patients. All are 50–80% cheaper than having the same treatment done in the UK.
How many trips will I need?
For standard dental implants, most patients require two trips: Trip 1 (5–7 days) for implant placement, and Trip 2 (3–5 days) around 3–6 months later for the crown fitting. All-on-4 and All-on-6 procedures can often be completed in one trip with temporary teeth fitted immediately.
What if something goes wrong after I return home?
All clinics in our network provide written guarantees on implants and prosthetic work. Minor issues (sensitivity, minor adjustments) can often be handled by a UK dentist. More significant complications may require returning to the clinic — another reason why choosing a reputable clinic with an international patient track record matters.
Do I need a referral or X-rays before going?
No referral is needed. Most clinics will want a panoramic X-ray (OPG) or CT scan — they can arrange this on arrival. Starting with MyDentalFly's free assessment means your case is reviewed before you travel, so there are no surprises about bone volume, grafts needed, or the number of implants required.
Can I get All-on-4 or full mouth implants abroad?
Yes — full arch implant treatments (All-on-4, All-on-6, full mouth reconstruction) are one of the most popular reasons patients travel abroad. Total costs of £5,000–10,000 abroad compare to £18,000–30,000 in the UK. See our full guide to full mouth restoration in Turkey.
What implant brands are used abroad?
The top clinics in Turkey and Hungary use the same implant brands as UK dentists — Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Osstem, MIS Implants. These are internationally recognised titanium implants with 10–25 year clinical track records. Always ask your clinic which brand they use and check it independently.
Will my UK dentist provide aftercare?
Most UK dentists will do a check-up and X-ray after your return, though some may charge for this. It's worth telling them you've had implants placed abroad so they know what to look for. Routine checkups, hygiene, and crown adjustments are standard and any UK dentist can assist.

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.
