Dental Implants

Dental implants in Turkey cost as much as 70% less than the price you might have been quoted at home, which is why they are such a popular treatment. Depending on the type of implants you’re getting and any preparatory treatments you need (such as extractions, a bone graft or a sinus lift), you’ll need to make two or three visits for your implants. Each of these will probably require a stay of several days or a week. Your dentist will explain more about your treatment plan according to your individual needs.

 

You might be able to save a lot by getting dental implants abroad in Turkey, especially if you need a full mouth of new teeth. However, don’t forget to factor in the cost of your flights, food and accommodation for each trip when working out whether your dental holiday is really worth it.

 

For slightly quicker treatment you might opt for All-on-4 full mouth implants. These require fewer implant rods in the jaw than traditional types, which makes them a cheaper option. They’re not right for everyone though, so research this treatment carefully before going ahead with All-on-4 dental implants in Turkey.

 

Veneers

If you don’t need implants but do want a straighter or whiter smile, veneer prices in Turkey make them much more affordable. Getting veneers in Turkey usually only requires one visit, but if your veneers are being made in a laboratory (as is the case with porcelain veneers) you’ll need to wait while this is done. This can take anything from a couple of days to a week or more depending on where they are made. A longer stay will add to your costs so it’s important to ask before how long you’ll have to wait between visits.

 

Teeth whitening

The cost of teeth whitening in Turkey means you could save a lot on professional in-clinic treatment. However, the savings probably aren’t big enough to justify a trip for teeth whitening alone. 

 

Other Treatments

Although there is a big market for cosmetic dentistry in Turkey, people also come for less glamorous treatments including:

 

Root Canals

Root canals treat diseases or abscesses teeth. Once a tooth is injured, cracked or decayed, it is necessary to open the tooth and clean out the infected tissue in the center. This space is then filled and the opening sealed.

 

Crowns and Caps

Crowns are dental restorations that protect damaged, cracked or broken teeth. Dental crowns, often referred to as caps, sit over the entire part of the tooth that lies above the gum line.

 

Dentures

Dentures are prosthetic devices replacing lost teeth. There are two types of dentures – partial and full. Full dentures are often referred to as “false teeth”.

 

Bridges and Implants

Bridges and implants are two ways to replace a missing tooth or teeth. They are false teeth anchored in place by neighboring teeth. The bridge consists of two crowns on the anchoring teeth along with the false tooth in the center. Dental implants are artificial roots used to support replacement teeth.

 

Extractions

A severely damaged tooth may need to be extracted. Permanent teeth may also need to be removed for orthodontic treatment.

 

Fillings and Repairs

Dental fillings and repairs use restorative materials used to repair teeth which have been compromised due to cavities or trauma.

 

Braces

A dental brace is a device used to correct the alignment of teeth and bite-related problems (including underbite, overbite, etc.). Braces straighten teeth by exerting steady pressure on the teeth.

 

Gum Surgery

Periodontal or gum disease is an infection that affects the gums and jaw bone, which can lead to a loss of gum and teeth. There are two major stages — gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the milder and reversible form; periodontal disease is often more severe. In some cases, gum surgery will be required to reverse the effect of the disease.

 

Bonding

Applying composite tooth bonding is a restorative procedure that uses tooth enamel-colored composite resin (plastic) to repair teeth that are decayed, chipped, fractured or discolored. Tooth gaps can also be closed. Unlike veneers, which require laboratory work, bonding is done in the dental office. Prices are cheaper than private care in the UK for pretty much every treatment so it’s worth getting all the work you need while you have the chance.
