Insurance reimbursement for British patients
NHS does not cover routine dental work abroad. Private dental insurance in the UK rarely reimburses treatment done outside the EU.
Clinics in Antalya typically provide itemised invoices with treatment codes matching European nomenclature, which makes partial reimbursement attempts at your UK insurer possible. Ask the clinic for a detailed invoice in English before treatment begins.
