Dental clinics in Istanbul
Turkey’s largest city and its busiest centre for dental tourism, with direct flights from most UK airports.
Medically reviewed by Dt. Hüseyin Yavuz Özbek, implant surgeon · Updated October 2026The clinic with the most checks verified in Istanbul is International Plus, with 6 of 6 public checks verified. Istanbul has 487 dental clinics on the Ministry of Health’s HealthTürkiye register; we checked 4 that market to international patients. Precious Dental publishes this register; its own clinic is in Antalya.
Istanbul has more Ministry-authorised dental clinics for international patients than any other city: 487 on the register. Many are large: several in this register have hundreds of staff and more than one branch. Size is not the same as quality, so check who will treat you and what the guarantee says.
Flights from the UK land at Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side. Ask the clinic which airport it collects from, because the drive between them can take well over an hour.
