The gap is real, but it's not just "cheaper labor"
All-on-4 in Turkey is commonly quoted at roughly a third to half of typical UK or US pricing for a comparable case. That gap is real, but the reasons behind it are worth understanding rather than just trusting the headline number.
What a full-arch case in Turkey typically involves
A complete fixed arch on four implants, including the surgery, the implants themselves, and a provisional restoration, commonly runs from around €2,900 per arch with a more affordable implant system, up to €3,400 and beyond with a premium one — before any additional bone work.
Why All-on-5 or All-on-6 costs more
Adding a fifth or sixth implant increases the total by roughly €300–450 per additional implant, depending on the system. This isn't padding — more implants distribute bite force across a wider area, which matters more for some jaw conditions than others.
What UK and US pricing typically includes that a Turkey quote might not, or vice versa
Compare what's actually in each quote: does the UK price include a follow-up visit? Does the Turkey price include the flight and hotel, or just the treatment? A fair comparison lines up the same scope of work, not just the final number.
The real cost consideration most people miss
Even accounting for flights, accommodation and time off work, the total for a full-arch case abroad is still commonly well below the treatment-only cost in the UK or US. That said, this depends entirely on your specific case complexity.
What to ask before comparing two quotes
Ask each clinic which implant brand is used, whether the price includes the final permanent restoration or only a provisional one, and what the warranty actually covers. These three questions usually explain most of the price gap between two quotes that otherwise look similar.
