For most single-visit treatments at DRA Dental, payment is made in full by card or cash. For two-visit treatments like dental implants, payment is split across the two visits rather than paid all at once upfront, roughly two-thirds at your first visit, with the remainder due at your second. This is different from the monthly instalment plans some clinics advertise, and it’s worth understanding exactly how it works before you book.
Key Takeaways
- Single-visit treatments (smile design, gum design, teeth cleaning) are paid in full by card or cash — there is no instalment option
- Two-visit treatments, such as dental implants, split payment across the two visits, roughly two-thirds at Visit 1, the remainder at Visit 2
- DRA Dental does not offer monthly instalment plans or third-party financing partnerships
- Your exact payment structure is confirmed in writing before you travel, alongside your treatment plan
- Send your case details via WhatsApp for a written cost and payment breakdown before booking anything
Payment for Single-Visit Dental Treatments in Turkey
Treatments completed in a single visit, smile design, gum design, teeth cleaning and whitening, and similar procedures, are paid in full by card or cash at the time of treatment. There’s no instalment facility for these treatments; the full amount is settled during your visit, in line with the written cost estimate you receive before you travel.
Payment for Two-Visit Treatments (Implants, All-on-6, All-on-4)
Treatments that require two separate visits, dental implants, All-on-6, and All-on-4 (typically used where a patient doesn’t have sufficient bone volume for All-on-6), naturally split into two payments because the treatment itself happens in two stages, months apart. Rather than paying the full amount at Visit 1 or arranging a separate finance product, payment is divided across the two visits, roughly two-thirds at Visit 1 (when the implant fixtures are placed), with the remaining balance due at Visit 2 (when the permanent crown or bridge is fitted).
This split follows the treatment’s own structure, it isn’t a flexible monthly plan, and the exact figures for your case are confirmed in your written treatment plan before you book any flights.
David, a 55-year-old from Sheffield considering implants in 2026, initially assumed “payment plan” meant a monthly finance arrangement similar to ones he’d seen advertised by other clinics. Once our team explained that the two amounts corresponded directly to his two treatment visits, rather than an open-ended instalment schedule, he had a much clearer picture of exactly what he’d be paying and when, with no surprises at either appointment.
Why Some Clinics in Turkey Advertise Monthly Instalments
It’s worth understanding why this question comes up so often. Many dental tourism agencies and some clinics in Turkey advertise a deposit of 20–30% followed by monthly instalments over 3, 6, 9, or 12 months, sometimes arranged directly, sometimes through a third-party dental finance company. For a patient comparing options, this can look like the more flexible choice on paper.
DRA Dental’s approach is different by design, not by oversight. Rather than adding a finance layer on top of the treatment cost, payment stays tied directly to the treatment structure itself, which keeps things simpler to understand and avoids any additional finance fees or interest that can come with a third-party arrangement. Neither approach is inherently wrong, but they’re genuinely different models, and it’s worth knowing which one you’re actually being offered before you compare prices between clinics. The UK’s General Dental Council advises asking clinics exactly this kind of direct question about cost and payment structure before committing to any treatment abroad.
What DRA Dental Does Not Offer (Being Upfront About It)
Some clinics and dental tourism agencies advertise monthly instalment plans, 3, 6, or 12 months, or arrange treatment through third-party finance partners. DRA Dental does not offer either of these. We’d rather be upfront about this than let you assume a flexibility that isn’t actually there:
- No monthly instalment plan (3/6/12 months)
- No third-party finance partnership
What we do offer is a payment structure that’s tied directly to your treatment itself, full payment for single-visit treatments, and a two-part split across visits for two-visit treatments, confirmed clearly in writing before you commit to anything.

What Is Confirmed Before You Travel
Before you book any flights, DRA Dental provides a written treatment plan and cost breakdown that sets out exactly how much you’ll pay and when, whether that’s a single full payment or a two-part split across visits. This is the same document referenced in our dental treatment warranty guide, covering both what’s included in your treatment and how payment is structured, so there’s nothing to work out once you’ve already arrived in Antalya. The UK’s General Dental Council publishes general guidance on dental costs, a useful independent reference point for understanding how cost estimates should be presented, wherever you’re being treated.
What If My Treatment Plan Changes on Day 1?
Occasionally, the Day 1 panoramic X-ray or in-person examination reveals something that wasn’t visible from photos alone, for example, a patient expecting a single implant may need a sinus lift first to support the fixture properly. If this happens, our dental team explains exactly what’s changed and why, and confirms any adjustment to cost and payment structure before proceeding, never after the fact. Results may vary based on individual assessment, which is precisely why the written estimate sent before you travel is described as an estimate, and the Day 1 review is what confirms the final plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does DRA Dental offer a monthly payment plan?
No. DRA Dental does not offer monthly instalment plans (such as 3, 6, or 12-month schedules) or third-party finance partnerships. Payment is either made in full for single-visit treatments, or split across two visits for treatments like dental implants that require two separate appointments.
Do I pay everything upfront for dental implants in Turkey?
Not entirely. At DRA Dental, payment for implants is split across your two treatment visits, roughly two-thirds at Visit 1, when the implants are placed, with the remainder due at Visit 2, when your permanent crown or bridge is fitted several months later.
Can I pay by credit card?
Yes, card and cash are both accepted for treatment payments at DRA Dental.
What if my treatment requires two visits, how is payment split?
Payment is divided between your two visits, generally around two-thirds at Visit 1 and the remaining balance at Visit 2. The exact figures for your case are confirmed in your written treatment plan before you travel.
Is the two-thirds/one-third split the same for every two-visit treatment?
The exact split is confirmed in your written treatment plan for your specific case. Roughly two-thirds at Visit 1 and the remainder at Visit 2 is typical, but the precise figures depend on your treatment, and your written plan is what applies to you.

An Honest Picture of Payment
Dental treatment payment in Turkey doesn’t have to be a guessing game. At DRA Dental, single-visit treatments are paid in full by card or cash, and two-visit treatments like implants are split naturally across those two visits, not stretched into a monthly finance product we don’t actually offer. Knowing this in advance means no surprises when you arrive.
