Your Fixed Quote: No Surprise Bills in Istanbul
Quick answer
Yes. With Dr. İşler your price is fixed in writing before you fly. He plans your treatment from your CBCT scan, itemises every implant, crown and graft, and locks the total. The only way it can change is if you choose an extra treatment; even then the cost comes from a contingency list you agreed in advance. There is no upselling in the chair on arrival.
Why the bill changing is the number one fear
For most international patients the biggest worry isn’t the surgery: it’s arriving in a foreign country and being told the price has gone up. It is a well-founded fear, because the low “package” prices advertised online are often quoted before anyone has looked at your scan, which leaves plenty of room to “revise” the total once you have already flown in and paid for a hotel.
We remove that room entirely. Your price is agreed, in writing and itemised, before you book a flight, so the number you approve at home is the number you pay in Istanbul.
How we lock your price before you fly
The fix is simple and it happens in one order: scan first, plan second, price third. Dr. İşler reviews your CBCT, plans the treatment personally, and itemises every part of it: each implant, abutment, crown, graft, plus the anaesthetic and imaging. You receive that written quote before you commit, and once you approve it, the total is locked.
Because Dr. İşler prices the work himself, there is no separate sales team with an incentive to add to it later. One clinician plans it, quotes it and performs it.
What happens if you genuinely need something extra
Honesty means admitting a scan occasionally can’t show everything until treatment is under way. That is exactly why we give you a contingency price list up front: the fixed prices for the handful of extras that could come up, such as a bone graft or sinus lift.
If one is genuinely needed, you already know the cost and decide before anything starts. Nothing extra is ever done, or charged, without your say-so. And if a planned step turns out not to be needed, it comes off the bill.
Why we insist on a CBCT scan first
We won’t give a firm number sight unseen, and that is deliberate. A CBCT scan shows bone volume, nerve position and hidden issues a photo cannot, and pricing from it is the only honest way to make a quote that won’t move. Clinics that quote a firm price without a scan are the same ones that “revise” it on arrival.
Turkey’s health-tourism framework expects clinics treating international patients to work from documented treatment planning, which is the standard we hold ourselves to.
How to spot a clinic that will change the bill
If you take one thing from this page, take the warning signs. A very low headline price with no breakdown, a quote given without your scan, pressure to pay a big deposit before you have a written plan, and no named dentist behind the number are all signals that the total is likely to change once you are in the chair. A genuine fixed quote is itemised, built from your CBCT, and signed off by the dentist who will treat you.

Send your scan on WhatsApp
You send a panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan and a few photos. This lets Dr. İşler see your bone, gums and existing work before pricing anything.

Dr. İşler plans and itemises
He plans the treatment himself and prices it line by line, covering each implant, abutment, crown, graft and the anaesthetic and imaging that go with them.
- 3
You receive a written fixed quote
You get a written, itemised total plus a contingency price list for anything that might be needed, so there are no blank spaces for surprises.
- 4
You approve before you travel
Once you approve the plan, the price is locked. Nothing on that quote changes when you arrive unless you actively choose to add a treatment.
What you get
- A fixed, itemised quote built from your CBCT scan and sent in writing before you book a flight.
- A pre-agreed contingency price list, so if an extra (such as a bone graft) is ever needed, you already know the price.
- No upselling on arrival. The plan you approved is the plan we perform, at the price we agreed.
- One clinician, one plan. Dr. İşler prices your treatment himself, so no sales team can inflate it later.
How to spot a bad clinic
- ⚠A suspiciously low "from" price with no itemised breakdown of what it includes.
- ⚠A quote given without ever seeing your X-ray or CBCT scan.
- ⚠Pressure to pay a large deposit before you have a written, itemised plan in hand.
- ⚠New charges appearing on arrival that were never in your original quote.
- ⚠No named dentist behind the price, only a sales coordinator you never meet clinically.
