How Much Does Tooth Extraction Cost in Turkey?

Tooth extraction in Turkey typically costs from $34 to $200. Rates depend on the extraction type, anesthesia needs, and whether the tooth is impacted. In the US, similar procedures cost around $600 on average. Patients save around 83% compared to US prices. Standard costs usually include the dental consultation, local anesthesia, and necessary follow-up care.

  • Surgical extraction of tooth/root: $100 to $200 for complex cases involving bone removal.
  • Wisdom tooth removal: $45 to $200 for erupted or impacted molar extractions.
  • Sedation and imaging: IV sedation or general anesthesia typically adds a premium to the base price.
  • Geographic location: Prices in Istanbul may be 15-20% higher than in Izmir or Ankara.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While single extractions are affordable, the best value is found in multi-procedure plans. Hospitals like WestDent Clinic in Izmir perform over 5,000 surgeries annually with a 99% success rate. Clinics often bundle extractions with implants to lower the per-tooth cost. Look for JCI or ISO-accredited facilities such as Hisar Hospital Intercontinental to ensure high safety standards.

Tooth Extraction in Turkey: Your Travel Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Turkey
  • Upon landing, you should ensure you have all necessary documents, including your appointment confirmation and any medical records or x-rays you've been asked to bring.
  • Arrange transportation from the airport to your accommodation. Some clinics offer this service, so confirm with them beforehand.
  • Check into your hotel and rest. You need to avoid any heavy activities to be well-rested for the consultation the next day.
Day 2: Initial Consultation and Diagnostics
  • Attend your scheduled consultation at the clinic. A detailed examination will be conducted, including any necessary x-rays or diagnostics that weren't available before.
  • The dentist will evaluate your oral health and confirm the treatment plan. Be prepared for possible changes based on the examination.
  • If required, a COVID-19 test might be conducted as part of the clinic's protocol. Results are usually ready within a day.
  • Discuss the types of implants available, such as Straumann, Ankylos, Osstem, or Nucleoss. Decide on the best option for your needs.
  • Clarify any remaining questions about the procedure, aftercare, and follow-up visits.
Day 3: Tooth Extraction Procedure
  • Arrive at the clinic for the tooth extraction procedure. Ensure you have followed any pre-operative instructions, such as fasting if required.
  • The procedure will typically involve local anesthesia. If you have concerns about pain management, discuss them with your dentist beforehand.
  • Post-extraction care is crucial. Follow the dentist's instructions on managing bleeding, swelling, and pain. Avoid hot foods and drinks and do not rinse your mouth vigorously.
  • If bone grafting or sinus lift procedures are needed, they might be performed on the same day, depending on your treatment plan.
Day 4: Rest and Recovery
  • Take this day to rest and recover. Avoid strenuous activities and follow a soft food diet to aid healing.
  • Monitor the extraction site for any signs of infection or complications, such as excessive swelling or bleeding.
  • Contact the clinic if you experience any unusual symptoms or if you have questions about your recovery process.
Day 5: Follow-up Appointment
  • Attend a follow-up appointment to assess the healing process and address any concerns you might have.
  • The dentist will provide further instructions on oral hygiene and care to ensure optimal healing.
  • Discuss the timeline for your next visit if dental implants or additional procedures are part of your treatment plan.
Day 6: Departure from Turkey
  • Ensure you have all necessary documentation from the clinic, including any prescriptions or instructions for continuing care at home.
  • Arrange transportation to the airport and prepare for your flight home.
  • Continue following the post-operative care instructions provided by your dentist to ensure proper healing and recovery.
Post-Return Home
  • Maintain regular communication with your clinic if needed. Some clinics offer remote consultations or follow-up support.
  • Adhere to any additional instructions provided by your dentist for long-term care and maintenance of your dental health.
  • Plan for your next visit if further treatment, such as implant placement or crown fitting, is required after the healing period.

In 3 months I will come, we will put on crowns;)🌷🇹🇷😎
This was my first trip to Istanbul. Coordinator Tatyana contacted me through Bookimed. With great patience and understanding of the problem, taking into account my very specific needs and wishes, the program and clinic were selected for me. It was about the implantation of 3 teeth, and the removal of 2 complex roots. I was very worried about the trip, Tatyana reassured me, said that the clinic provides both a transfer and an interpreter, this is included in the program. They even sent me a photo of where they would meet me. The way from the airport was long (by the standards of the country from which I came), but comfortable, I even knew how to watch a movie on Netflix in a limousine, which I had noticed for a long time. I was greeted at the clinic by the friendly, nice and competent Zülal, the Russian speaking coordinator of the clinic. The problem with a little trouble was quickly resolved, and at my request, the extraction of teeth and implantation were performed under anesthesia, the so-called sedation. I was counting on terrible pain, swelling and bruising (these are not the first implants that I put in my country) ... Imagine my surprise when in the morning there was no pain, no bruising, or even swelling! I was given antibiotics, and rinses, painkillers, which I never needed because there was no pain. I ate soft and liquid food after 2 hours. And now I'm eating a whole meal! In 3 months I will come, we will put on crowns;)🌷🇹🇷😎 I highly recommend the clinic, it has really qualified and competent specialists. With gratitude, Elena 🇺🇦 Ukraine - 🇨🇭 Switzerland

The doctor matched the color perfectly to my preferences
I remember discussing the shade for my new smile, and what really stood out was how the doctor matched the color perfectly to my preferences. I opted for a full mouth restoration with E-max pressed ceramic veneers, and the outcome feels right. Everyone was supportive. Now in the early stages of healing, everything is progressing about as expected, which is a relief. It’s also very reassuring that the clinic has stayed in touch to check on my progress since I've been home. The care was consistent.

Such an unparalleled, all-encompassing service is unthinkable in Germany!
My rather unexpected decision to have two implants fitted at the age of 76 was immediately put into action by Dentist Gürkan! He gave me excellent advice, then examined my jawbone using an X-ray, and after a further 45 minutes, the two implants were professionally and perfectly in place! His very, very friendly manner and steady hand made this procedure a truly memorable experience! My thanks also go to the entire team: the surgical assistant, the reception staff, as well as the German interpreter and the member of staff who drove me from the office to the Dent-Helen-Clinic and, after the treatment, to the nearest cash machine, and looked after me. Such an unparalleled, all-encompassing service is unthinkable in Germany! Thank you very much for this positive experience and for continuing to keep your patients happy! I am already very much looking forward to returning to complete the treatment in a few months’ time! Best regards from Holger, aka Biker Bruno

I now feel better than I expected
What worried me most was how such a large number of new crowns would look and feel. But my dentist was very attentive. He carefully checked my bite, matched the colour of the zirconia crowns to my teeth, and showed me the result before fitting them. In the end, I had more than seven crowns fitted, and I now feel better than I expected. The support from the clinic is also great — they’re always on hand. There were no additional costs. I’d advise future patients to ask straight away how many days the treatment will take, and to make sure they allow an extra two days for flights.
I didn’t say I was looking for a cheap clinic; I was looking for high-quality work. The dentist fitted 21 zirconia crowns. I’m not experiencing any discomfort or pain. A brilliant job. Many thanks to the dentist and the interpreter. The transfer service was excellent.
Be sure to check exactly how long it will take the clinic to carry out the dental work. Seven days is the minimum. Do not include the day of arrival or departure of your flight.

The dentist was a great help; he carefully showed me all the colour options for my monolithic zirconia crowns and helped me make my choice
If you’re planning to have crowns fitted at this clinic, the first thing I’d mention is the cost. The dentist was a great help; he carefully showed me all the colour options for my monolithic zirconia crowns and helped me make my choice. The staff were also very good. After the procedure, I was given clear aftercare instructions, and I’m generally feeling just as I expected. Everything went smoothly. However, there were additional costs not included in the initial quote. So my main piece of advice is: take more money with you, because it actually ends up costing more than you expect.
I had implants fitted at the Mavidenta clinic in Turkey. The coordinator from Vookimed organised everything very well and was always available to answer any questions. The clinic’s coordinator was also always on hand to help with any queries. I was kept informed every day about when my appointments with the doctor were. The doctors are competent and did their job well; I’m satisfied. The interpreters were also very competent. Thank you for your work. I can recommend the clinic to everyone.
I wasn’t happy that I had to pay more than originally quoted. I had to pay an extra 10 euros for each crown. Also, on the second visit, I had to pay for the hotel myself, even though I’d initially been told that the clinic would cover the cost.

I now feel better than I expected
What surprised me most was how quickly the whole procedure was over. I’d expected to spend at least four hours in the dentist’s chair, but my dentist finished in less than two. During that time, he removed a number of decayed teeth with great professionalism and fitted 10 Nobel Biocare implants. He personally consulted with me before the operation and carried it out himself. I now feel better than I expected. The clinic is always on hand, which is very important during the recovery period. There were no additional costs. I’d advise future patients to have a good meal the evening before the operation. And if you’re facing the same extent of treatment as I did, make sure to take plenty of tissues with you to the hotel.
It’s hard for me to say what I didn’t like. I think everything went absolutely brilliantly. Everyone, from the coordinator to the driver, carried out their duties to perfection. I’m very grateful to everyone!
I think my visit went well, but I’m not sure what could be done to make my treatment more comfortable.

the service was excellent and I would recommend the clinic
If you’re thinking about getting crowns, I’d advise you to pay very close attention to the colour matching right from the start. I’ve had seven zirconia crowns fitted and the care I received from the surgeon and the staff was really good. Everything was professional. My only minor criticism is that the colour ended up being a touch too yellow compared to my natural teeth. I’m still in the healing phase and the sensation when chewing hasn’t quite settled yet, which is normal. Despite the minor colour issue, the service was excellent and I would recommend the clinic.
The clinic is very modern and clean, and the staff and dentist are very friendly and dedicated to their work. I would definitely recommend this clinic because they really did a great job; I was amazed by the results. Thank you very much.
The only thing I was missing was someone who spoke my language so I could communicate better, because I don't speak English, but I managed to get by using an app

The doctor personally fitted my 3–4 NTA implants and immediately gave me a clear timeline for when the crowns could be fitted, which was very reassuring
What I was most worried about was how the recovery would go and the journey home. And with good reason. My feelings are mixed so far; it’s still too early to talk about the final result, but the procedure itself went well. The doctor personally fitted my 3–4 NTA implants and immediately gave me a clear timeline for when the crowns could be fitted, which was very reassuring. The post-operative instructions were clear, and the only additional expense I had to cover was for medication. My only important piece of advice to future patients is this: if you can, extend your stay after the operation, because the flight is very tiring.

The clinic provided excellent support after the procedure: they were always available and gave me clear aftercare instructions
It was very important to me that the surgeon personally carried out the placement of my seven-plus implants. Everything went according to plan. I’m currently in the early stages of recovery, and I’m feeling exactly as I expected, with no surprises. The clinic provided excellent support after the procedure: they were always available and gave me clear aftercare instructions. The doctor also gave me a clear timeline for the fitting of the crowns and, importantly, there were no additional costs.
Everything was very well organised: the hotel, the airport pick-up, and the taxi arrangements for the journey to the clinic and back to the hotel.
Personally, I was very pleased with everything, including the way the clinic was run

My doctor was honesty from the start. He was very clear about the limitations of shape and color, and explained exactly why no-prep veneers were a good option for my specific case, even letting me try on temporary ones first. This made a huge difference. I had the procedure on over 14 teeth, both upper and lower, and the results so far are better than expected. The aftercare has been solid, too—the clinic is easy to reach and stays in touch with a clear guide. Plus, there were no additional expenses. The whole process felt very transparent.
I am very satisfied with my experience at the clinic. The communication with the coordinator was excellent from the very beginning—they were always helpful, professional, and quick to respond to my questions. The doctor who performed my procedure gave me excellent advice and explained everything clearly, which made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. The care I received during my stay at the clinic was of the highest standard. The entire staff was kind, attentive, and professional. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for outstanding medical care.

The support didn’t stop after the procedure — the clinic was always available if I had any questions, which I think is important
Before the procedure, the doctor took the time to explain what to expect, which helped me prepare myself mentally. The partial denture placement took only two visits, which was very convenient. The support continued after the procedure, as the clinic was always available to answer any questions, which I consider important. The only thing to take into account is that I incurred additional costs after the initial payment. Overall, I rate the doctor's and team's work as good, but not excellent, so I give it 4 out of 5.

The aftercare was excellent
What stuck in my mind most was the moment when the doctor showed me the CT scan and explained the entire treatment plan in detail. He personally carried out the placement of my seven Straumann implants. The aftercare was excellent. They took an active interest in how I was feeling, gave me very clear aftercare instructions and were always available, which was very reassuring. The only additional costs were for the medication, which I bought from a chemist. It’s worth noting that everything I needed to know was explained to me before I arrived at the clinic, so there were no surprises.
A huge thank you to the doctor, the coordinator and the whole clinic staff for their patient and attentive care of their patients. I really do feel lucky to have ended up at this clinic. I missed my flight and lost a whole day. Despite this, they admitted me and carried out everything that had been planned. Right from the start, I really liked this clinic. The staff are warm-hearted and caring people.Thank you also for your help with the translation. For me, there was nothing negative about my first visit. The post-operative instructions were more than detailed. I’m looking forward to the second and final stage. I’d like to believe that I won’t be disappointed going forward either. I’ll definitely leave a review. .

But from the minute we were picked up from the airport we felt completely comfortable. Even with the language barrier, there were tons of laughs, smiles and hugs.

About Bookimed service
I was very nervous about this trip and had tons of questions, so I’m sure at times I was driving the young lady that helped me crazy, but never did she make me feel that way. She always answered me in a timely fashion. She would even call the dentist office with questions I had and she would let me know right away what they had to say. I’m usually not a very trusting person, but she helped me know that even though we’d never met I could completely trust her. It was an experience of a lifetime, and I would definitely use them again.

FAQ about Tooth Extraction in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Is it safe to get a tooth pulled in Turkey?

Tooth extractions in Turkey are highly safe when performed at facilities accredited by the Turkish Ministry of Health or international bodies like JCI and ISO. Clinics utilize advanced 3D CBCT imaging and hospital-grade sterilization, maintaining success rates up to 99% for complex oral surgeries.

  • Clinic regulation: Facilities must hold Health Tourism Certification to legally treat international patients.
  • Surgeon expertise: Dentists complete 5-year degrees and must join the Turkish Dental Association.
  • Advanced technology: Top centers use CAD/CAM digital planning and original Straumann materials for precision.
  • High volume: Leading clinics like WestDent perform over 15,000 surgical operations every 3 years.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Patient data shows a clear safety advantage at multi-specialty centers like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental or clinics with 20+ years of history. While 389 Turkish clinics offer extractions, those like Tower Dental Clinic, founded in 1998, provide more stability for complex cases. For the safest experience, choose clinics in Istanbul or Izmir that serve over 5,000 international patients annually, as they typically employ full-time translators and have more rigorous post-op protocols.

Patient Consensus: Patients frequently report surprise at the lack of pain and swelling following sedation-assisted extractions. Many highlight that professional coordinators provide clear explanations and thorough post-operative instructions which help prevent common issues like dry socket.

Is the tooth extraction procedure in Turkey painful?

Tooth extraction in Turkey is not painful during the procedure because dentists use advanced local anesthesia to numb the area completely. Patients typically feel only mild pressure or movement. Complex cases like impacted wisdom teeth often involve sedation to ensure a relaxed, pain-free experience for the patient.

  • Anesthesia methods: Clinics use local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, or IV sedation for patient comfort.
  • Success rates: Top centers like WestDent Clinic report a 99% success rate with modern techniques.
  • Surgical expertise: Surgeons like Dr. Ertan Etemoglu have over 25 years of oral surgery experience.
  • Post-op recovery: Simple extractions cause mild soreness, while surgical cases peak at Day 3.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While a simple extraction starts at $34, choosing a clinic with an in-house laboratory like YEG Clinic often speeds up the entire process. Experienced surgeons in Turkey, some performing 100+ implant-related procedures weekly, use precision tools that minimize tissue trauma and reduce typical post-operative swelling.

Patient Consensus: Patients frequently express surprise at the lack of bruising or pain the next morning. Many correlate their positive, stress-free experience with the use of sedation for more complex wisdom tooth removals.

Can a dental implant be placed at the same time as the extraction?

Dental implants are frequently placed immediately after tooth extraction in Turkey during a single surgical visit. This immediate placement technique uses the fresh extraction socket to anchor a titanium post, often preserving bone structure and reducing the total treatment timeline by several months.

  • Bone density: Sufficient jawbone height and volume are required to stabilize the implant immediately.
  • Infection control: Sites with active severe infections typically require healing before implant insertion occurs.
  • Surgical precision: Atraumatic extraction methods must preserve the surrounding bone for successful primary stability.
  • Success rates: Turkish centers like WestDent Clinic report 99% success for these advanced procedures.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from high-volume Istanbul clinics shows a preference for immediate loading on front teeth for aesthetics. However, for back molars, surgeons like Dr. Ertan Etemoglu often recommend waiting 8–12 weeks. This delay significantly improves long-term stability in high-pressure chewing areas.

Patient Consensus: Patients report that receiving sedation during simultaneous extraction and implantation results in a pain-free morning with minimal swelling. Many highlight that getting permanent crowns after 4 months feels seamless and looks natural.

What should I avoid during recovery to prevent complications?

To prevent complications like dry socket or infection after tooth extraction in Turkey, avoid suction from straws, smoking, or vigorous spitting for 72 hours. These actions can dislodge the blood clot. Steering clear of hard, spicy foods and strenuous exercise ensures the surgical site heals without reinjury.

  • Suction motions: Avoid using straws or vaping to prevent painful dry socket complications.
  • Dietary triggers: Skip crunchy, spicy, or hot foods like kebabs for 5–7 days.
  • Physical exertion: Refrain from heavy lifting and gym sessions to prevent sudden wound dehiscence.
  • Substance use: Stop smoking and alcohol consumption to maintain blood flow and clotting.
  • Travel timing: Wait 3–5 days before flying to avoid pressure-induced clot displacement.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While basic extractions are affordable in Turkey starting at $34, choosing clinics like WestDent or Dental Bosphorus provides access to surgeons with 20+ years of experience. High-volume centers often maintain 99% success rates because they perform thousands of these procedures annually. This level of expertise significantly reduces the risk of post-operative nerve damage or incomplete root removal compared to less experienced practitioners.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that following the soft-food rule is vital, often sticking to yogurt and smoothies for the first week. Many felt relieved that avoiding straws and hot tea prevented the intense pain they initially feared.

How long does the full healing process take?

Full biological healing after a tooth extraction in Turkey typically takes 6 to 12 months for complete bone remodeling and tissue maturation. While surface gums close within 2 weeks, internal structural recovery requires several months of collagen reorganization to reach maximum durability before procedures like dental implants.

  • Initial clotting: Hemostasis occurs within minutes to hours after the extraction to stop bleeding.
  • Soft tissue closure: Gum surfaces generally appear healed and stop being tender within 10–14 days.
  • Bone regeneration: New bone begins filling the socket after 1 month, completing by month 7.
  • Full maturation: Complete structural remodeling and internal strength take between 12 and 24 months.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Many patients believe they are fully healed once the gap closes, but bone density is the true metric. Data from top clinics like WestDent and YEG Clinic show that while simple extractions feel normal quickly, surgical removal of complex roots or wisdom teeth often requires a 6-month CBCT scan to confirm bone readiness for implants.

Patient Consensus: Patients report feeling functionally recovered within 1 week, though wisdom tooth sites often remain sensitive for 4 months. Most emphasize that skipping follow-up X-rays at the 6-month mark can lead to premature assumptions about bone strength.

What do all-inclusive extraction packages usually include?

All-inclusive tooth extraction packages in Turkey typically cover the surgical procedure, local anesthesia, panoramic X-rays, and essential post-operative medications. Most plans also bundle premium services like VIP airport transfers and 2–3 nights of hotel accommodation to ensure a seamless recovery for international patients.

  • Diagnostic imaging: Standard packages include digital panoramic X-rays for precise surgical planning.
  • Medical supplies: Cost covers all sutures, sterile sets, and post-op antibiotics or painkillers.
  • Logistics support: VIP private transfers between the airport, hotel, and clinic are standard.
  • Anesthesia options: Local anesthesia is included, while sedation often requires a small surcharge.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from 70,000+ requests shows that while simple extractions start at $34, `all-inclusive` tags usually trigger only for multi-tooth or surgical cases. Some clinics like WestDent Clinic or Dental Bosphorus offer these bundles only when patients combine extractions with implants or have more than 3 wisdom teeth removed.

Patient Consensus: Patients frequently highlight the stress-free experience of having a personal coordinator and translator available at the clinic. Many survivors of dental anxiety specifically recommend choosing clinics that offer sedation to ensure a completely painless morning with no bruising.

How long should I plan to stay in Turkey for a tooth extraction?

For a standard tooth extraction in Turkey, plan for a 1 to 3 day stay. Complex or surgical removals, such as impacted wisdom teeth, typically require 3 to 7 days to monitor healing and prevent complications like dry socket before your return flight.

  • Simple removal: Patients generally fly home safely 24–48 hours after a routine, non-surgical extraction.
  • Surgical extraction: Impacted teeth or root removals usually require 5–7 days for stable initial healing.
  • Flight safety: Dentists recommend waiting at least 48 hours to avoid pain from cabin pressure changes.
  • Travel itinerary: Schedule your procedure for day 2 to allow for a follow-up on day 3.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from clinics like WestDent and Hospitadent shows that patients often combine extractions with other treatments. If you plan to start an implant immediately after extraction, you must extend your stay to at least 5–7 days. This allows the surgeon to confirm the site is stable and free of infection before you depart.

Patient Consensus: Patients report that swelling usually peaks on day 3. Many suggest staying near the clinic for the first 48 hours to ensure easy access to follow-up care if unexpected discomfort occurs.
