How much can you save on dental work abroad?
Americans typically save 50–70% on major dental work abroad, even after travel. The savings scale with the size of the case. A single implant and crown that costs $3,000–$6,000 in NYC starts from around $795 at our partner clinic, Taki Dent, in Antalya; a zirconia crown drops from $1,000–$1,800 to about $250; veneers fall from $1,000–$2,500 per tooth to about $250; and an All-on-4 full arch drops from $20,000–$30,000 to a starting price from around $4,650 per arch. For a full-mouth case, that can mean saving $15,000–$40,000 — far more than the cost of the trip. Crucially, the hotel and airport transfers are included in Taki Dent's price, so the only travel cost to add is your own flight (~$700–$1,200 round trip). Small procedures don't justify travel: a single filling or cleaning won't save enough to cover airfare. The realistic rule of thumb is that travel makes financial sense once your US treatment plan exceeds about $5,000–$8,000, particularly for implants, full-arch restoration, and multiple crowns or veneers.
My Dentist Brooklyn Consulting LLC is a Brooklyn-based dental treatment consulting and coordination company. Dental treatment is provided by our partner clinic, Taki Dent, in Antalya, Turkey. We do not provide dental treatment at our Brooklyn office.
Commercial relationship disclosure: My Dentist Brooklyn Consulting coordinates patients with our partner clinic, Taki Dent, and may receive compensation connected with consulting or treatment coordination services. NYC figures are typical published market ranges; Taki Dent figures are published starting prices; with a CBCT scan your final price is fixed in writing before you travel and does not change.
Procedure-by-procedure savings
These pair typical published NYC ranges with our partner clinic's starting prices. Starting prices depend on your treatment plan; a CBCT scan lets Taki Dent fix your final price in writing before you travel.
| Procedure | NYC (USD) | Taki Dent, Antalya (from) |
|---|---|---|
| Single implant + crown | $3,000–$6,000 | from $795 |
| Zirconia crown | $1,000–$1,800 | from $250 |
| Veneer (per tooth) | $1,000–$2,500 | from $250 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | $20,000–$30,000 | from $4,650 |
| Full-mouth All-on-6 (both arches) | $55,000–$75,000 | from $11,300 |
The real total: what you actually add for travel
Most "savings" articles quietly subtract a hotel bill that, at our partner clinic, you never pay. This is where the honest total matters:
- Hotel — included. Your accommodation is inside Taki Dent's treatment price.
- Airport and clinic transfers — included. VIP transfers (airport to hotel to clinic and back) are part of the package.
- Your flight — the one cost you add. A New York–Antalya round trip is typically $700–$1,200. There are no direct flights, so expect one connection.
- A second trip for implants. Implant cases usually need two visits several months apart, so budget a second flight; crowns and veneers are often one trip.
- Follow-up at home and a small contingency buffer for the unexpected.
So for a full-mouth case that saves $15,000–$40,000, the real added cost is a flight or two — not the flight plus weeks of hotel bills. That is the recalculation that changes the math for big cases.
When the math works
Travel typically pays off once your US plan exceeds $5,000–$8,000 — think multiple implants, a full arch, or a set of veneers. For a single filling, an acute problem, or a lone crown, stay home: the saving won't cover the airfare and same-day local care matters more.
Get a real comparison
Always start with an itemized US quote (see our NYC cost guide), then request a written plan from our partner clinic based on your X-rays. Compare like for like — same implant brands, same crown materials. Our price comparison methodology explains exactly how we build every figure on this site.
Quality matters more than the discount
The cheapest quote abroad isn't the goal; the best value with verifiable quality is. Look for a named specialist, branded implants and ceramics, a written plan built from your own X-rays, and a warranty in writing. Our partner clinic, Taki Dent in Antalya — led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr Sadık Taki and holding the Turkish Ministry of Health International Health Tourism Authorization (Certificate ST-6335) — is the kind of benchmark to hold any quote against. Read is it safe before deciding.
