"Turkey teeth" is how many people in the UK talk about getting veneers, crowns or implants at a clinic in Turkey. The appeal is usually the price. The catch is that most clinics want paying in full, often before you have even flown out.
This guide explains what actually shapes the cost, what to check before you book and how a Remedi payment plan lets you spread the cost over six interest-free monthly payments.
What people mean by Turkey teeth
The phrase covers several very different treatments, and they are priced very differently. A quote for "Turkey teeth" only makes sense once you know which one you are being offered.
Veneers
Thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape and colour.
Crowns
A cap that covers the whole tooth. The tooth usually needs more reshaping than for a veneer.
Dental implants
A post fixed in the jaw that holds a replacement tooth where one is missing.
All-on-4 and All-on-6
A full arch of fixed teeth held in place by four or six implants.
Ask your dentist why they are recommending one option over another. Crowns and veneers are not interchangeable, and the right choice depends on the condition of your own teeth.
What affects the cost
Two quotes for "a new smile" can be thousands of pounds apart and both be fair. These are the things that move the number.
The treatment and the number of teeth
Veneers and crowns are usually priced per tooth, full-arch treatment per arch. Twenty veneers cost a lot more than eight.
The material
Composite, porcelain and zirconia differ in price and appearance. Check which one your quote is for.
The implant system
Implant brands vary in price. Ask for the name of the system so you can compare like with like.
Scans, X-rays and temporary teeth
Some clinics include them in the price, others add them on the day.
How many trips you need
Implants often need two visits a few months apart while the jaw heals, which also means two sets of travel costs.
Aftercare
Find out what happens, and what it costs, if something needs adjusting once you are back in the UK.
Why a price list only goes so far
Prices change with the clinic, the exchange rate and, most of all, your own mouth. A number on a web page is rarely the number you end up paying.
The quote that matters is the written one you get after a consultation. Check that it lists each of the items above, so you know exactly what is and is not included. If you use a Remedi payment plan, it is based on the treatment cost your clinic confirms.
How paying monthly works
A Remedi payment plan is available through participating clinics, many of them in Turkey. It is arranged and repaid in pounds.

Illustrative example only. This is not a credit offer. Applications are subject to status, eligibility, affordability and verification checks.
The amount financed is interest-free, with no set-up or late-payment fees. Checking your eligibility uses a soft credit search, so it will not affect your credit score.
Flights and accommodation
Your plan covers the treatment cost stated in your credit agreement. Some clinics offer packages that include airport transfers or a hotel, but flights and accommodation you book yourself are not part of the plan, so budget for them separately. If your treatment needs two trips, budget for both.
How to choose a clinic for Turkey teeth with confidence
The best starting point is a clinic that has been checked and a clear, written quote. Before you say yes, ask the clinic for:
- A written, personalised treatment plan
- The name and qualifications of the dentist treating you
- A full breakdown of what the quote includes
- The materials or implant system they plan to use
- What aftercare and follow-up visits are included
Before a clinic can offer a Remedi payment plan, it has to pass our assessment. We look for valid facility licences and active insurance cover, international quality certifications and strong online reviews, a transparent complaints process, and a UK contact number or aftercare presence.
Is a payment plan right for you?
A payment plan is still credit. Before you apply, make sure six monthly payments fit comfortably alongside your other bills, and only agree to treatment you have had properly explained to you.
If it does fit, a plan means you can start when your clinic is ready rather than when your savings are, without paying more than the treatment costs.
