How Much Does Gold crown Cost in Turkey in AUD?

Gold crown in Turkey typically costs from AUD $1,400 per tooth. Final pricing depends on gold purity, current market rates, and the clinic location in hubs like Istanbul, Izmir, or Antalya. Patients from Australia save approximately 48% compared to local prices, which average around AUD $2,700. High-end packages often include 4-star accommodation, VIP airport transfers, and professional interpreter services.

  • Gold purity: The karat level of the alloy significantly impacts the total material cost.
  • CAD/CAM technology: Using digital systems for same-day crowns usually adds a service premium.
  • Clinic location: Packages in Istanbul may cost 15–20% more than in regional cities like Izmir.
  • Clinical reputation: Prices are higher at facilities with international quality audits like TÜV NORD.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a facility with its own dental laboratory can provide better value and speed. Specialists like Tamer Cakar at Catwalk Nisantasi operate their own workshops to control crown quality. Clinics such as WestDent Clinic in Izmir also maintain TÜV NORD certification, so their quality systems have been independently checked. For Australian patients, these accredited clinics offer reliable results at a fraction of private health out-of-pocket costs.

Data verified by Bookimed as of October 2026, based on patient requests and official quotes from 58 clinics worldwide. Median costs are based on real invoices (2025–2026) and updated monthly. Actual prices may vary.

Thank you to the whole Westdent team for your skill, care and sincere attitude to patients!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the team at Westdent Clinic for their excellent work and care! I had zirconium crowns placed on my upper jaw - the result exceeded all expectations. The work of the doctors is real professionalism, care and striving for perfection. I am especially grateful to the doctors who treated me - thanks to you I now have a beautiful and natural smile and a complete sense of comfort. A huge thank you to the interpreters and all the staff at the clinic for their support, attention and help every step of the way. I never felt alone for a minute - everything was explained in an easy-to-understand way and I was accompanied during all the procedures. Special thanks for organising the transfer: we were met at the airport, taken to the clinic every day and brought back to the hotel - everything was organised clearly, conveniently and without delays. Our stay in a cosy hotel near the clinic was very comfortable: clean rooms, caring staff and an atmosphere in which we could really relax and recover after the procedures. I would also like to thank the Bookimed team, especially Stanislav, who helped us to find a suitable clinic professionally and quickly Thank you to the whole Westdent team for your skill, care and sincere attitude to patients! I will gladly recommend your clinic to anyone looking for quality and reliable dental treatment.

I am so happy with my dental treatment at the GK Dental Clinic!
I would highly recommend the SoracaMed clinic. Everything was organised, without delay, which is very important for a person who came for medical services from another country. The qualification and attitude of the medical staff and the doctor is above all praise. There is an interpreter coordinator, which makes the process so easy. The amount for the services was also the same as what I had been quoted in correspondence prior to my arrival in the country. I appreciate that there was no imposition of unnecessary expensive services, everything is just on the merits. The clinic is clean, stylish and inspires confidence. Thank you so much to the entire SoracaMed team! Good luck and prosperity I am so happy with my dental treatment at the Soraca Med Clinic! I would like to emphasize very efficient work of the team. I came from another country and it took me literally 2 brief visits to have a job done! The doctor and all the medical personnel is highly qualified, very friendly, great attitude , great bedside manners. No forcing unnecessary expensive treatments, everything was up to the point. No hidden charges, everything related to pricing was very transparent since the beginning. The clinic is super clean. They have a Russian- English speaking translator- coordinator that was really helpful. I highly recommend Soraca Med!

Everything is simply amazing
I express my sincere gratitude to Bookimed, in particular to the medical coordinator on the Bookimed platform Christina and the coordinator of the SoracaMed clinic in Antalya and translator Valeria. I went to Antalya on a tourist trip to Turkey. I only had 2 days in Antalya. And Christina was able to quickly find me a dental clinic in Antalya. I needed a crown placed on an implant. And Valeria, many thanks to her, was able to quickly come to an agreement with Dr. Göksel Kalyaz. Our tourist group arrived in Antalya in the evening of March 20th. At a time convenient for me, a term was immediately assigned that same evening. By the time I arrived, the abutment needed for the implant I had installed had been found. I arrived at the clinic late, but Valeria and the doctor were waiting for me. All procedures necessary to make the crown were performed. And on March 21, at 15:00, the crown was made and I was assigned a term at that time. I had a crown installed. There was no inflammation or pain after the crown was installed. Everything is simply amazing. Once again, many thanks to Christina, Valeria and Dr. Göksel Kalyaz for their professionalism. I confidently recommend that anyone who needs this help contact Bookimed coordinator Christina, coordinator Valeria and Dr. Göksel Kalyaz at the SoracaMed dental clinic in Antalya. A transfer is available for a fee (cheaper than a taxi). Stanislav. Latvia. March 21, 2024.

I am very happy with the result
I had several dental crowns fitted at this clinic and the experience has been very positive. One of my biggest concerns was how my bite would feel afterwards, and I can say that it feels completely natural when chewing. That was key for me. I’ve also been very pleased with the aesthetic result. The colour is very natural and doesn’t look artificial at all. I felt well looked after throughout the whole process. I’d like to thank Dr Tuğçe Bigiş for her professionalism and kindness, as well as the interpreter (María, a Madrid native now living in Izmir), the coordinator Natalia, and the rest of the team, who were very professional and clear in their explanations. At the moment, I’m still getting used to eating (avoiding hard, very cold or very hot foods), but that’s to be expected. I am very happy with the result. Thank you all.
I have just finished my dental treatment at WestDent (Izmir) and my experience has been very positive. I would particularly like to commend Dr Tuğçe Bigiş for her professionalism and kindness, as well as María (the interpreter, a girl from Madrid now living in Izmir) and Natalia (the coordinator), who were instrumental throughout the process in ensuring everything went smoothly and was clear. The treatment wasn’t straightforward and there were moments of discomfort, but the team supported me every step of the way. The arrangements (hotel, transport, clinic) were very well organised. I’m very pleased with the aesthetic and functional results. Now comes the adjustment phase, but it was definitely worth it.
Overall, my experience was very positive. As for areas for improvement, the only thing I found a bit of a nuisance was the long waiting times at certain stages of the process. Otherwise, I was given all the necessary information and had an interpreter, which made communication much easier.

After completing the work, clients receive a quality guarantee - for 5 years in my case
I am from Denmark. I am visiting the clinic for the second time with various dental problems and also aesthetics. I was always met at the airport on time and even with flowers. I was accommodated in a good hotel with breakfast included and paid for - this is also important. Transportation from the hotel to the clinic and back or, if desired, to any point in Izmir. In the clinic, translators are always nearby who participate in the treatment process and answer all questions. Doctors (young) work quickly and efficiently. There are also dental technicians who quickly make crowns - literally before your eyes. Teeth scanning is also done in the clinic. The atmosphere is very friendly, relaxed. There are a lot of clients from different countries with whom it is pleasant to discuss common problems. After completing the work, clients receive a quality guarantee - for 5 years in my case. Upon returning to my country, I can always ask a question by phone and receive a quick answer.
I liked the quality of the work and the low price

For me this was worth every penny
I visited the clinic from the UK to have 28 crowns. I have to admit I was sceptical. Mavidenta clinic stood out to me for fairness and reviews so I followed this through with them. Bookimed was consistent and answered all my questions prior offering support. The clinic connected me and made all the arrangements including transfers from the airport to the clinic and hotel. I booked my hotel separately as I wanted self catering and an apartment. I made sure I was within a close travel distance to the clinic. When I arrived at the clinic I was met by a translator who explained everything. I met with the Dr who was truly an expert in her field. The clinic was spotlessly clean , modern and staff were also the same. I discussed my treatment plan again at the clinic as it appeared I would need some root canal work and filling which were additional. I also upgraded the quality of the crowns. I paid half of the treatment up front and reserved the rest for the end. The treatment took 6 days and I was at the clinic 5 of the days. Total time at the clinic each day would range from 1hr too 5hrs. I was given prescriptions for antibiotics and pain relief. The entire process was reflective of the cost and quality. The clinic was not the cheapest nor the most expensive but it was and did deliver a high quality finish and service. I don't believe you could get much better. If your hesitant about visiting don't be. For me this was worth every penny. Tips and things to be aware of: If your paying by debit or credit card you will need to pay local tax. If you pay cash you don't. Don't expect this to be a pain free process. It's dental work. However the clinic and staff are super professional and your given pain relief. Allow yourself a few days extra at the end of the treatment so if there are any complications you can sort them out and allow yourself time to enjoy parts of the city at the same time. Try and book accommodation close to the rail network or within a 30 min walk. Overall I was highly satisfied with the entire process and would recommend the clinic and process to anyone who is thinking of visiting

I am very satisfied with the result and the work of the clinic and the interpreter's support
I was met at the airport and escorted to the hotel. Then they took me to the clinic and back every day, which was very convenient. I was welcomed at the clinic and all the services were performed. The staff and doctors are very attentive and professional. The crowns were done and fitted within the stated time frame. One of them for some reason did not hold up well, but the next day everything was corrected quickly and efficiently. I am very satisfied with the result and the work of the clinic and the interpreter's support. I recommend not to fly away immediately after the services are performed, but to give yourself an opportunity to observe for 1-2 days.
Loved everything about it.
The cost was quoted with an error of 100 euros, a crown fell out but the next day it was fixed quickly and efficiently.

The proof of this is my desire to smile all the time - with all 28 crowns!
Good day! I have successfully undergone implantation and crowns at Mavidenta, I am very pleased with the results and the right choice of clinic, as I am not disappointed that I am a client of Mavidenta! When it comes to teeth, I am not a brave man to put it mildly; I consider myself a client distrustful, demanding, picky and even capricious (I can't help it - my nature is like that); Everything that I was "scaremongered" by acquaintances - I was bypassed! I was frightened that grinding teeth will be painful.I willingly believe, the patient has no reason to lie! But not in the clinic Mavidenta! Here at the teeth grinding I was completely anaesthetised. In my case, both stages of treatment went without excesses: no high temperatures, no inflammatory processes, no hints of rejection of implants!From the moment of surgery to the final result - a gorgeous smile! (Hollywood rests!).Everything went great, on the level, as it should be!!! I do not hesitate to say that I was really lucky with my first coordinator - Ivan Nikolaev!Thanks to you, I gave up all doubts and decided to take treatment abroad (a complete adventure!) I always thought that patience with clients is not a characteristic feature of men. But this is not about you, Ivan! You withstood my pressure with dignity, with the flair of a professional you have identified the very line when you can lose a client. Thank you for meeting me. I would not be toothless of course, but for the rest of my life I would gnaw at myself if the implantation was unsuccessful in another clinic. Because at that moment I already knew that I wanted to go to Mavidenta, but I could not reach financially... I liked the complete transparency in the prices indicated by Ivan, and their compliance with the final payment in Turkey for both periods of treatment. Every little detail was thought through, starting with the rollers at the airport. Tala: a charming girl with a warm smile... And on the other hand a confident, competent coordinator. Camila is always on top of her game: polite, diligent and attentive. ATAHAN: businesslike, unruffled, balanced. Remember that medical staff and coordinators are excellent professionals, but not magicians!!! Although you can argue with the latter! (favourite expression of dear Atahan). If not magicians, then a little bit of magic for sure! I will never forget my delight when I saw a newfound harmonious smile! And during dinner, after the crowns, I wanted to shout at the top of my voice: "GOD! I can finally chew properly!" My mouth is completely comfortable! I catch myself wanting to run my tongue lightly over the super smooth surface of my teeth once again. I argued with the imperturbable Atahan about the unnecessity of e-max (the price has gone up, and why do I need this coating? I'm not young).People! E-max is THAT good! Thanks to Atahan, his persistence and talent of persuasion.Thanks to this coating teeth look natural, like natural teeth.Fantastic!!! I swear, my natural teeth were much worse.In general, I will gradually pay off my debts, and my teeth will stay with me for the rest of my life! Now I feel more confident and younger.I really like this feeling! An unexpected bonus from the team at Mavidenta is that they are: Young! Which means promising! Energetic! -And therefore with a great desire to work! They love people! -And that means everything for patients and in their interests! (a rare combination of youth and sufficient professional experience). A MEGA THANK YOU to the entire international team at Mavidenta: A brilliant line-up of doctors! Special thanks to the highly qualified orthopaedist MUSTAFA: Your sincere smile and golden hands accompanied me during the whole second period of treatment! Your work is invaluable! The proof of this is my desire to smile all the time - with all 28 crowns! MEGA Thank you to the excellent team of interpreter-coordinators! TALA! IVAN! ATAHAN! KAMILA! You are super! You are great! There is no task you can't handle! It is difficult to underestimate your work, considering your "unlimited" work schedule. Words are not enough, loved YOU all! Success to you and as many satisfied, grateful patients as possible!!! And you will provide them with a smile-LUX!

Thanks to the whole team of the West Dent clinic, you are great!
Practically, everything went very well! I was met at the airport, provided with a transfer to the hotel and later picked up from the hotel to the clinic and taken back! This is very convenient, because after the procedures you do not think about how to get to the hotel in an unfamiliar city! The West Dent clinic in Izmir (Turkey) employs professional specialists who are pleasant to communicate with! I received all the services I had previously agreed on! I was quickly and efficiently installed zirconium + Emax crowns! I am grateful to my doctor Emine Tuce Hodja. She is a skilful specialist in her field! Thank you! Thanks to the whole team of the West Dent clinic, you are great! And most importantly, thanks to the Bookimed team, and especially to the consultant Anar, first of all for his good Ukrainian language And his professionalism in finding what the client needs)! Thank you 🤝✊!!!

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

Thank you for new beautiful teeth
The staff are polite, attentive. They try to make the right decision about your treatment. I would have preferred more explanation of the treatment situation. Why the decision or treatment tactics have changed. It should be justified. To discuss the next steps of treatment. After all, travelling from far away is planning additional free days and money for the patient. I wish your clinic prosperity. Thank you for new beautiful teeth. Natalia
Tactfulness of doctors. The help of interpreters. Both of them.
It was uncomfortable when during teeth grinding, a cold stream of water flows behind the scruff of the neck. My back was wet and it was not very pleasant to go outside in wet clothes afterwards.

The disadvantage is that you have to wait a very long time for your appointment with the doctor. The appointed time does not correspond to the actual appointment. But the doctors are competent, listen to the patient's wishes, work quickly and efficiently. Thank them very much for their services.

My first experience was not very successful, the clinic that was recommended to me for implantation was simply terrible and the attitude towards the client was identical.

FAQ about Gold crown in Turkey

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

What should I ask a dental clinic in Turkey before booking a gold crown procedure?

Before booking a gold crown in Turkey, confirm the gold alloy composition. Ask if the clinic uses an in-house laboratory for a precise fit. Check the credentials of the prosthetic dentistry specialist. You should also ask what is included in the quoted A$ price.

  • Alloy composition: Ask for the exact gold percentage to confirm high noble or noble metal.
  • Laboratory turnaround: Check if clinics like Bahçeşehir University Dental Hospital use on-site labs for faster fitting.
  • Specialist credentials: Verify if the dentist specialises in prosthetics, such as Dr Batuhan at Surgery Group.
  • Package inclusions: Confirm if quotes from clinics like Soraca Med include transfers, accommodation, and X-rays.
  • Aftercare plan: Detail how bite adjustments or sensitivity will be managed once back in Australia.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Many clinics offer all-inclusive travel. However, university-affiliated hospitals like Bahçeşehir often provide higher precision. This is due to having 180+ dental units and dedicated research labs. An on-site laboratory typically reduces the required stay from 5 days to 3 days.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey suggest requesting a written treatment plan. This should explicitly list lab fees and cementation costs. They often highlight the ease of coordinating through English-speaking staff. They also value having a temporary crown provided during the fabrication period.

Will I experience pain during the gold crown procedure in Turkey?

Gold crown procedures in Turkey are typically painless. Specialists use local anaesthetic to numb the area during tooth preparation. Patients usually feel pressure, vibration, or drilling rather than acute pain. Following fitting, some temporary sensitivity or gum soreness is common once the anaesthetic wears off.

  • Anaesthesia options: University hospitals like Bahçeşehir provide sedation units and general anaesthesia for anxious patients.
  • Modern diagnostics: Clinics like Nifa Dent use digital X-rays and 3D imaging for a precise fitting.
  • Precision tools: Practitioners use laser dentistry and digital workflow to minimise tissue trauma and discomfort.
  • Bite adjustments: Dentists perform bite checks and fit corrections to prevent post-procedure discomfort or soreness.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Most clinics focus on aesthetic crowns. However, large university dental hospitals in Istanbul offer specialised sedation units. This is a significant advantage for patients with dental anxiety or low pain thresholds. Choosing a facility with a postgraduate unit often means access to specialised pain management protocols.

Patient Consensus: Patients describe feeling pressure and vibration rather than sharp pain during preparation in Turkey. Minor soreness or sensitivity after fitting is normal. It usually subsides once the bite is adjusted.

Are gold crowns better than porcelain alternatives for dental work in Turkey?

Gold crowns last longer for back molars. Porcelain options like Zirconia or E-max provide a natural look for visible teeth. Turkish clinics specialise in both. Gold typically costs $990. This saves patients up to 34% compared to Australian averages.

  • Functional durability: Gold withstands heavy chewing pressure and resists chipping better than porcelain.
  • Longevity: Properly fitted gold crowns often last 20+ years on back molars.
  • Aesthetic match: Porcelain and Zirconia shades match natural enamel for a seamless smile.
  • Tooth preservation: Gold requires less removal of natural tooth structure before fitting.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Porcelain is popular, but large Turkish centres like Ata Health Center perform 30,000+ procedures. They often recommend gold for patients who grind their teeth. Combining materials is common. Using gold for strength and Zirconia for aesthetics saves money without sacrificing the smile.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey often choose gold for back teeth for lasting strength. They appreciate how modern Zirconia matches natural teeth for a bright appearance elsewhere. Careful material selection based on tooth position leads to the best results.

What is the expected lifespan of a gold crown once I return to Australia?

Gold crowns typically last 20 to 40 years. Many exceed four decades because they are extremely durable. This longevity comes from excellent seals and a wear rate that matches natural enamel. Success relies on precise tooth preparation and maintaining high oral hygiene in Australia.

  • Exceptional durability: Gold resists fractures under heavy biting forces better than porcelain.
  • Marginal integrity: Precise seals at the tooth margin resist bacteria and decay.
  • Natural wear: Metal alloy wears similarly to enamel, protecting the opposing teeth.
  • Clinical expertise: Specialists like Dr Ufuk Zeren at Ata Health Center perform thousands of restorations.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish dental hospitals like Bahçeşehir University Dental Hospital use on-site labs for precise gold alloy casting. This reduces the risk of the bonding cement washing out later. High-volume centres in Istanbul and İzmir often perform 25,000+ procedures. This experience refines the technical fit that prevents underlying decay.

Patient Consensus: Gold crowns are highly durable and patients expect decades of service. Long-term success depends on bite alignment and using night guards for teeth grinding. Regular check-ups in Australia help keep the underlying tooth and gums healthy.
