Choose your treatment and arrival date. The planner shows how many trips you need, how many days you will spend in Istanbul and when your second trip is due.
Typical timings for guidance. The treating dentist at the partner clinic sets the exact plan after an X-ray and examination.
Frequently asked questions
How long do I need to stay in Turkey for veneers?
For veneers or zirconia crowns, one trip of about 4 days to Istanbul is usually enough: examination and smile design, preparation of the teeth, try-in and fitting.
Why does All-on-4 need two trips?
On the first trip of about 3 days the implants are placed and a fixed temporary bridge is attached. After 3 to 6 months of healing at home, a second trip of about 5 days follows for the final bridge.
Can I go back to work straight after treatment?
After veneers or crowns, usually straight away. After implants or All-on-4, allow a few days depending on your job, as swelling is strongest in the first days.
