What Is a Dental Treatment Package in Turkey?
A dental treatment package in Turkey combines an agreed dental treatment plan with logistical services, such as transportation, accommodation, and treatment coordination, for a single price. These packages are specifically designed for international patients seeking dental care in Turkey.
Dental treatment packages are not priced according to a fixed list of services. Instead, the total cost depends on each patient’s individual treatment plan, which is determined after an assessment of their dental condition.
As a result, two patients may pay different prices for packages with the same name. This is because the number of teeth being treated, the type of procedure required, and the materials used can vary from one patient to another.

The exact inclusions are confirmed in a written treatment plan before any procedure begins.

What Is the Role of Lerra Clinic and Its Partner Clinics?
Lerra Clinic is a medical tourism company based in Istanbul that coordinates the various stages of treatment, including communication, appointment scheduling, and the arrangement of transportation and accommodation.
Dental treatments are performed at partner clinics and hospitals licensed for medical tourism. The treating dentist determines the final clinical treatment plan after examining the patient.
The Turkish Ministry of Health’s Regulation on International Health Tourism was published in the Official Gazette on 26 April 2025.
Under this regulation, healthcare facilities and intermediary organisations must obtain an international health tourism authorisation certificate before providing services in this field.
Authorisation certificates for intermediary organisations are issued by the state-owned International Health Services Inc. (USHAŞ), according to a report published by Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT).
What Is Typically Not Included in a Dental Treatment Package?
A dental treatment package in Turkey generally does not include flights, meals other than breakfast, additional nights beyond the agreed itinerary, companion expenses, or any additional treatment found to be necessary after the examination.
For this reason, it is advisable to request a written list of exclusions before making a payment.
The main expenses that typically remain outside the package price include:
- Flights.
- Visa fees, if applicable.
- Meals other than breakfast.
- Additional nights of accommodation beyond the agreed itinerary.
- Companion expenses, although room-sharing may sometimes be available.
- Additional treatments identified during the examination.
- Upgrades to higher-cost dental materials.
- Travel insurance.
- Follow-up appointments with your own dentist after returning home.
Are Flights Included in the Package?
Flights are generally not included in a dental treatment package in Turkey. Patients usually arrange their own flights once their treatment dates have been confirmed.
It is advisable to wait until the treatment schedule and required length of stay have been agreed upon before purchasing tickets, as the duration of the trip depends on the individual treatment plan.
Is Hotel Accommodation Included in the Package?
Hotel accommodation is included in many dental treatment packages, although this depends on the specific arrangement. The number of nights provided is generally based on the anticipated duration of treatment.
If treatment takes longer than expected for clinical reasons, or if a patient chooses to extend their stay, additional nights are usually charged separately.
Why Might the Package Price Change After an In-Clinic Examination?
The price of a dental treatment package may change after an in-clinic examination because the initial quotation is based on photographs and X-rays provided remotely by the patient.
However, a clinical examination and diagnostic imaging at the clinic may reveal details that cannot be identified from the initial images alone. These may include inflammation beneath an old filling or insufficient bone volume, which could require changes to the proposed treatment plan.
The most common reasons for adjusting the treatment plan include:
- Root canal treatment: A tooth may require root canal treatment before a crown or veneer can be placed.
- Tooth extraction: A tooth may be too damaged to be preserved.
- Gum treatment: Gum disease may need to be treated before cosmetic dental procedures or implant placement.
- Bone grafting or sinus lift: These procedures may be necessary if there is insufficient bone volume for dental implants.
- Changes in dental materials: The proposed material may need to be changed, for example, to zirconia or E.max.
- An increased number of teeth: The examination may reveal that more teeth need treatment than originally anticipated.
Any proposed changes to the treatment plan should be explained to the patient, with the additional costs clearly outlined before further treatment is undertaken.
The UK National Health Service (NHS) advises patients to factor potential extensions to their stay and the possible cost of return trips into their budget.
For reference, Lerra Clinic’s Dental Implants Turkey provides approximate price ranges of USD 500–1,000 per implant, including the abutment and crown, and USD 3,000–6,000 for full-arch treatment using four or six implants (All-on-4 / All-on-6).
The final price is determined after an examination. Before any procedure begins, request an updated written treatment plan reflecting the revised price.

How Many Trips and Days Are Needed for Each Type of Treatment?
Dental veneers and zirconia crowns typically require one trip, whereas conventional dental implant treatment generally requires two trips, separated by a healing period of three to nine months.
The actual number of days required for each trip is determined after the examination.
| Type of Treatment | Typical Number of Trips | Interval Between Trips | Days Required per Trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veneers or zirconia crowns | Usually one trip | None | Confirmed after examination |
| Conventional dental implants | Two trips | 3–9 months for osseointegration | Confirmed after examination |
| Immediate implants or full-arch treatment with 4–6 implants | Depends on the bone assessment | Depends on the individual case | Confirmed after examination |
Osseointegration is the process by which the jawbone integrates with the dental implant. The time required varies depending on each person’s healing rate.
Dental implant treatment can take several months from start to finish. In some cases, certain stages can be combined, depending on the patient’s condition and the materials used.
For a more detailed explanation of the treatment stages, read our article on how long dental implants take in Turkey.
What Happens If Complications Develop After You Return Home?
If complications arise after you return home, the coverage available depends on the written warranty terms. These should specify whether corrective treatment is covered, how long the warranty lasts, and who is responsible for travel and accommodation costs if another trip is required.
Before travelling, make sure you know whom to contact after treatment and keep a copy of your medical report to share with your local dentist.
Under the same Turkish regulation, healthcare facilities are required to provide complication insurance for surgical procedures performed in an operating theatre as part of international health tourism.
However, this does not mean that every dental procedure performed in a dental chair is covered by this insurance.
Your local dentist can provide urgent care if needed.
However, NHS Fife explains in its guidance on dental treatment abroad that arranging corrective treatment for problems arising after overseas dental procedures can be complicated and costly, and may require additional travel.
To help reduce the risk of complications, follow the Post-Procedure Care provided by your dentist.
When Should You See a Dentist Immediately After Treatment?
Lerra Clinic identify several warning signs following dental implant surgery that warrant prompt contact with a dentist rather than waiting for symptoms to resolve:
- Swelling or pain that worsens in the days following the procedure instead of gradually improving.
- Swelling or bleeding of the gums.
- A raised body temperature or fever.
- Pus around the implant.
- Movement or loosening of the implant.
- Persistent numbness or tingling in the teeth, gums, lips, or chin, which may indicate nerve involvement.
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck accompanied by any of the symptoms above.
Who May Not Be a Suitable Candidate for Dental Treatment Abroad?
There is no single rule that automatically excludes an entire group of patients from travelling abroad for dental treatment. However, certain medical conditions require prior assessment, particularly when dental implants are involved.
According to Lerra Clinic, dental implants may not be suitable for some patients with the following conditions:
- Uncontrolled diabetes.
- Active or untreated gum disease.
- Bone disorders, certain autoimmune diseases, or medications that may increase the risk of complications during healing.
- Smoking, which can interfere with the healing process.
- Severe jawbone loss.
Having one of these conditions does not automatically disqualify someone from receiving dental implants. The dentist assesses each case individually and may recommend preliminary treatment before the patient travels.

What Questions Should You Ask Before Booking a Dental Treatment Package?
Before booking a dental treatment package, ask specific questions about the written treatment plan, the treating dentist, the clinic’s licensing, the materials used, the itemised price, warranty terms, potential complications, and post-treatment support once you return home.
These eight questions help clarify exactly what you are paying for and make it easier to compare different dental treatment packages on a like-for-like basis.
Most of these questions are based on guidance from the UK General Dental Council (GDC), supplemented with questions specific to clinic licensing in Turkey, dental materials, and itemised pricing.
- Will you receive a written treatment plan with the price before treatment begins?
- Who will perform the treatment, and what are their qualifications?
- Is the clinic licensed to provide international health tourism services?
- What materials and systems will be used, including the implant brand and material type?
- What exactly is included in the price, item by item?
- What are the warranty terms and duration, and what exclusions apply?
- What happens if you need additional treatment due to complications, and who will cover the costs?
- Who should you contact after returning home?
According to the UK National Health Service (NHS), warning signs that warrant caution include pressure to make a quick decision, insufficient information, and a lack of discussion about potential complications or aftercare.

Conclusion
A dental treatment package in Turkey typically includes the agreed treatment and essential services such as examinations, transportation, and coordination. Hotel accommodation is also often included, depending on the agreed plan.
Flights, additional nights of accommodation, and treatments identified during the examination are generally excluded from the price. The most important rule is to ensure that every item is clearly documented before treatment begins.
You can take a simple first step by requesting your written treatment plan after submitting your latest dental photographs and X-rays for review.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Treatment Packages in Turkey
Does a dental treatment package in Turkey really include everything?
No. There is no universal standard for what an “all-inclusive” dental treatment package covers. The term usually refers to the agreed treatment and essential services such as transportation, accommodation, and coordination. Flights, meals, and additional treatments are generally excluded.
Before paying, request a written, itemised list of included and excluded services. Compare packages using this list rather than relying on the package name alone.
Does the package include a CBCT scan?
This depends on the type of treatment, preparing for dental implant surgery may involve X-rays and three-dimensional imaging to assess the jawbone and plan implant placement. Simpler veneer and crown cases may not require this type of imaging.
Whether a CBCT scan is included in your package depends on your treatment plan. The quotation should explicitly state whether the scan is included or charged separately.
Are temporary crowns and post-treatment medication included?
This depends on the treatment plan and the type of procedure. For front-tooth implants, a temporary tooth may be placed to avoid leaving a visible gap during healing. Temporary restorations may also be used while permanent veneers or crowns are being prepared.
Your dentist may prescribe medication after certain procedures. Ask about both temporary restorations and post-treatment medication, and request that their costs and inclusion status be specified in the written quotation.
Can I bring someone with me as part of the package?
Yes, you can generally travel with a companion, but the additional costs depend on the arrangements.
Sharing a hotel room may involve little or no additional accommodation cost in some packages. However, the companion’s flights, meals, and any separate hotel room are generally paid for by the patient.
Before booking, ask whether transportation and accommodation cover your companion and request written confirmation of the arrangements.
Can I receive a quotation before travelling?
Yes. You can receive an initial quotation before travelling based on recent dental photographs and X-rays submitted during a remote consultation.
However, this quotation is an estimate. The final price is determined after a clinical examination and diagnostic imaging at the partner clinic. You should then receive an updated written treatment plan and approve it before any procedure begins.
Does the package include a warranty on the treatment?
Warranty coverage generally depends on the type of treatment and the materials used. There is no single warranty period that applies to every case.
Ask about the warranty duration, what it covers, what exclusions apply, and who is responsible for travel and accommodation costs if corrective treatment is needed after you return home.
These conditions should be documented in the written treatment plan before treatment begins rather than communicated through verbal assurances alone.
