The London Premium: Why Cosmetic Dentistry is Out of Reach
London has some of the most prestigious dental clinics in the world, especially around Central London and Harley Street. But the cost of cosmetic dentistry in the capital has become an expensive luxury. For most Londoners, a smile makeover (whether it's veneers, crowns, or implants) is simply out of reach at local prices.
At a private London clinic, a single E-Max porcelain veneer can run anywhere from £900 to £1,500. A full set of 20 veneers to transform your smile can easily top £20,000. Once you add in the costs of consultations, scans, and temporary teeth, the total bill can be eye-watering. Because of this, thousands of Londoners are choosing to fly to Istanbul, where they can get the same premium materials and specialist care for a fraction of the price.
At Dent of Istanbul, we regularly welcome patients from London who want high-quality results without the Harley Street price tag. Led by our chief physician Dr. Nilgün Başar, we offer a modern experience that combines digital dentistry with personal care. By choosing us, you can get the smile you've always wanted while saving up to 75% compared to private rates in London.
