Dental Consultation

In-person Consultation

If you are planning a holiday or an overseas medical procedure, why not spend an hour having a dental consultation while you are there.  A dental consultation can help you and the dental specialist to chat about your dental healthcare needs.  Perhaps you have had a bad experience with dentists in the past and are scared, or have not had dental work done in a long time, or maybe having dental surgery in your home country is just too expensive and not an option for you.

 

The consultation may include a health history, an oral examination, tests such as x-rays and/or an oral CT scan and at the end of the consult (which takes about an hour) you will have a personalized treatment plan to take away and consider.  No pressure and no commitment.

Online Consultation

Not quite ready for an in person consult commitment, not a problem, we are here to support you and can arrange for you to have an online conversation with a dental health specialist.  This may be the perfect first step for you.

These are a list of popular procedures, if the surgery you are looking for is not on the list, please contact us and we will be happy to support you.

Cosmetic Procedures

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening procedures are a popular and quick way to brighten up your smile.  The procedure is ideal for people who have healthy teeth and gums but who may have slightly dull or discoloured teeth.  Tooth enamel can become stained or discoloured due to lifestyle choices such as smoking, or drinking coffee or wine, or due to illness or age.

Teeth whitening usually takes around 1-1.5 hours of time per session and may require 1-3 sessions depending on the amount of discolouration that is present on the teeth and the type of whitening process used.   Laser teeth whitening can often be completed in 1 visit.

If you are planning an overseas trip or have another medical procedure booked, why not book a teeth whitening session while you are there.

COST:  Teeth whitening procedures in Türkiye usually range between €100-150 per session with laser teeth whitening procedures start at around €350.

Although we specialize in the Turkish healthcare sector we will be happy to arrange an appointment for you at an accredited dental care centre where ever your travels may be taking you. 

Veneers

Dental veneers are custom made covers that fit over the front surface of your teeth, they are used to cover up teeth that have chips, stains, cracks or other dental imperfections, such as gaps or misshaped teeth.  Veneers are usually made of a composite or porcelain material and then bonded to your natural teeth.  Veneers are purely cosmetic in nature and do not strengthen or repair teeth, they cover up problem areas and improve the look of your smile.

Having veneers overseas can be a much cheaper alternative with prices starting in Türkiye at around €1800 per set compared to starting costs of €6000 – €10000 in the United Kingdom, Canada or the United States.  Having veneers installed at home can take several weeks, where as at an accredited dental clinic or dental department within an accredited hospital in Türkiye you can have your smile looking beautiful within 5-7 days.

Although we specialize in the Turkish healthcare sector we will be happy to arrange an appointment for you at an accredited dental care centre wherever your travels may be taking you.

If you are interested in arranging a veneer install procedure, or any other dental procedure, please reach out to us on WhatsApp or online and we will be pleased to help you.

Restorative Procedures

Dental Crowns

A Dental Crown is a tooth shaped cap that is created to fit over top of your entire tooth.  It helps to restore teeth that are broken, weakened or worn down over time.  Dental Crowns can also be placed over dental implants and teeth that have had root canals.

Dental Crowns are usually made out of porcelain and are fitted over your tooth which may mean that a small amount of enamel will be removed from you own tooth prior to bonding the crown over it. 

Dental Crowns have a shelf life of between 10-15 years. 

Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implant surgery is a procedure that involves inserting metal screw posts into the space where a tooth is missing and then covering the screw with a dental crown to provide the look and function of a real tooth.  This is a helpful procedure for people with missing teeth who may have had trouble chewing or eating, or even talking and who perhaps don’t smile as much as they should due to a self-consciousness that comes with having missing teeth.  This procedure is also a great alternative for people who are not yet ready to have dentures or bridgework and who want the look of permanent teeth.  Dental implants last between 15-20 years.

Having dental implants requires a commitment to a personally tailored treatment plan and is not an overnight 1 session fix.  Usually, two trips will be required and will be completed within a 4–6-month time frame.  Knowing this up front is important to factor in whether travelling overseas is going to be a cost-effective solution for your dental health needs.  The average starting price for a dental implant in Türkiye is around €600 compared to starting prices of €1500 – €2200 in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Although we specialize in the Turkish healthcare sector we will be happy to arrange an appointment for you at an accredited dental care centre wherever your travels may be taking you.
