Get your new dentures made and fitted in Turkey at one of Dental Departures’ background-checked clinics in Alanya.

Simply by heading abroad, you can save over two-thirds compared to the price back in the UK or other European countries—all while taking in the sights around the spectacular Turkish Riviera.

If you currently don’t have access to an NHS dentist, the cost of private dental care in the UK can be prohibitively expensive.

And with waiting lists to see an NHS dentist at an all-time high, millions of patients, such as those seeking new dentures, are faced with the dilemma of either putting dental treatment on hold or caving into the often extortionately high prices at private practices.

However, there is a third option: dental tourism. Among the different procedures available, getting new dentures made and fitted in Turkey can make real sense, especially if you want to combine your treatment with a splendid beach holiday by the Med.

Dentures are the most common way to replace missing teeth. While most people think of a full-arch acrylic prosthetic device (false teeth), a range of other types of denture is available in Turkey, such as:

• Partial dentures with acyclic base
• Full dentures with porcelain teeth
• Partial dentures with porcelain teeth
• Implant-supported removable denture, or overdenture
• Snap-in denture
• Temporary dentures

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Turkey for My New Dentures?

The course of treatment for new dentures in Alanya is summarised below:

First, an initial examination of your gums and jaws will be conducted by your dentist. You will also be able to discuss what your dentures will be made from and other important specifications relevant to your course of treatment.

The dentist will then make an impression of your mouth so that dentures can be created.

The last appointment is for fitting and making necessary adjustments to the new dentures.

Overall, you should plan to stay in town for between five days to a week.

On average, the overall price of having new dentures made and fitted privately in the UK is over £1,200. 

The same treatment at one of our fully background-checked dentures clinics in Turkey costs as little as £355, including in Alanya.

Please note: These prices are estimates calculated at the time of writing. Please see our clinic listing pages for up-to-date prices.

Visitors generally reach Antalya via the main regional airport in Antalya, around two hours away by road (with plentiful buses and taxis available from the airport).
