Turkey is the default choice for UK dental tourism, and many of its clinics are excellent. Georgia is smaller, calmer and priced in the same range. Here is how the two genuinely compare, including where Turkey comes out ahead.

Neither is simply better
They suit different patients. This is the honest summary.
Turkey
Hundreds of clinics to choose from, frequent direct flights from most UK airports, high-volume teams that perform the same procedures daily, and packages that bundle hotel and transfers. If you want the widest choice and the shortest possible trip, Turkey is hard to beat, provided you choose the clinic carefully.
Georgia, with us
A smaller market with less of the high-pressure sales culture around Turkey teeth. We plan full arches only on Straumann® or Bredent®, publish every price openly, give a fixed written quote before you travel, and book two to three weeks for full-arch work so healing is not rushed. Tbilisi, with its old town, food and wine country an hour away, makes the longer stay easy.
Side by side
Turkish figures are typical published prices and conditions in September 2026; individual clinics vary widely. Georgian figures are our own.
Georgia and Turkey charge similar prices for dental treatment. A zirconia crown is typically £180–£280 in Turkey and £213 with us; All-on-4 on both jaws is £5,200–£9,200 in Turkey depending on the implant brand, and £6,680 with us on Straumann® or Bredent®. The real differences are brands, published prices and treatment time.
| Factor | Turkey, typical | Georgia, with us |
|---|---|---|
| Zirconia crown, per tooth | £180 – £280 | £213 |
| All-on-4, both jaws | £5,200 – £9,200, brand-dependent | £6,680, Straumann® or Bredent® |
| Pricing | Usually quoted privately, often as a package | Every price published online |
| Typical trip length | 5–7 days for crowns and veneers | About 10 days for veneers; 2–3 weeks for full arches |
| Flights from the UK | Frequent direct flights from most airports | Fewer routes; many itineraries connect once |
| Visa for UK passports | Not required for tourism | Not required, stays up to a year |
| Coordinator languages | English widely available | English, Russian and Hebrew |

Ask on WhatsAppNot significantly. Prices for crowns, veneers and All-on-4 fall in a similar range in both countries. Turkish packages often include a hotel; our prices are for treatment, with hotels recommended separately. Choose on quality, brands and protocol rather than a small price difference.
Georgia has a well-established private dental sector in Tbilisi, with clinics using the same international implant systems and materials found in Western Europe. As anywhere, quality varies between clinics, which is why we work only with a small network of vetted surgeons.
UK passport holders can visit both countries visa-free for tourism, including treatment trips. Georgia allows UK citizens to stay for up to a year without a visa. Always check current government travel advice before booking.
Patients usually choose us for fixed published prices, full arches on Straumann® or Bredent® only, a slower timeline that does not rush healing, and a calmer city to recover in. If you want the shortest possible trip and the most flight options, Turkey may suit you better.
Yes. We regularly review X-rays of crowns and veneers done elsewhere and plan repairs: replacement crowns, root canals where nerves have been affected, and implants where teeth cannot be saved.
Turkish All-on-4 for both jaws is typically £5,200 to £9,200 depending on the implant brand; ours is £6,680 on Straumann® or Bredent®. At the low end Turkey can be cheaper, usually with a less established implant system, so compare the brand as well as the price.
