Teeth Done in Turkey

It depends on the diagnosis: implants for one or several missing teeth with healthy bone. A bridge for missing teeth with healthy neighbouring teeth. All-on-Four for complete edentulism in one jaw. Veneers/Hollywood Smile for purely aesthetic concerns with healthy tooth substance. Teeth whitening for discolouration without structural defects. A complete preliminary examination with 3D CBCT determines what is medically appropriate. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care. If the question is about price, timing or results, treat the page information as guidance until the medical assessment and written quote are completed.

Implants: 2 trips (5-7 days for the initial surgery + 3-5 days for the final crown after 3-6 months). Veneers/Hollywood Smile: 1 trip (5-7 days). All-on-Four: 2 trips (7-10 days for the initial surgery + 5-7 days for the final bridge after 3-6 months). When several treatments are combined, the plan can extend further. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care.

In an accredited clinic using premium materials (Straumann, E.MAX by Ivoclar Vivadent, zirconium by Zirkonzahn), quality is on par with Western European standards. What to look for: dentist experience, Turkish Medical Association (Tabipler Birliği) accreditation, written aftercare and material terms terms, and 3D CBCT scanning before treatment planning. Package prices like "complete smile under £1,720 o" are warning signs.

These headlines are partly justified - there are cases of careless treatment with overly aggressive tooth reduction, poor materials or inadequate aftercare. Not every clinic in Turkey is reputable. What you can do concretely: insist on digital Smile Design BEFORE any tooth reduction, agree on premium materials in writing, secure a written aftercare and material terms for material and workmanship defects, and verify the dentist's experience. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care.

Turkey prices (typical): implant with crown £690-£1,290, Hollywood Smile (16-20 veneers) £3,870-£6,880, All-on-Four per jaw £3,440-£6,020, teeth whitening £170-£340. Western European prices are 2-3x higher. What to check: what is included in the package (material choice, pre-op exam, hotel, transfer), warranty conditions, and the cost of a second trip. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care.

Most dentists at home will see you for acute issues, but as a private-pay service. Some refuse "overseas patients" altogether. Talk openly with your dentist before you travel. Make sure you receive a complete treatment report, material manufacturer details and implant passports in writing - these documents are your bridge between the two systems. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care.

As a rule, no - most dental treatments are performed under local anaesthesia. General anaesthesia is optional for anxious patients, those with a strong gag reflex, or for several implants placed at once. Sedation with a mild relaxant is a middle ground. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care.

Revision policy is set in writing before your trip and is procedure-specific. For most refractive, hair and aesthetic procedures, touch-ups within 12-24 months are typically discounted or free when medically indicated and not caused by patient non-compliance with post-op instructions. For surgical procedures (cardiac, bariatric, dental implant), re-intervention is rare and is evaluated case-by-case with full clinical disclosure. Before booking, ask for the written plan, inclusions and exclusions, expected recovery time, possible alternatives, follow-up route and warning signs that require local care.
