Your Smile Deserves The Best!

In fact, Turkey is one of the world's top health tourism destination. Turkey has been a popular destination for medical tourists from European countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Germany, England, the Netherlands, Romania, Bulgaria, and other countries as well as the Middle East, USA. and Latin America.

Turkey is popular for many reasons and one of the reasons is that Turkey is available to many countries in the world without the need for a visa. This reason alone makes the country even more popular with patients from all over the world. The quality of medical care is very high and at the same time, the cost of medical services in Turkey is much lower than in Europe or the USA.

The reasons patients come to Turkey for surgery are:

• Visa-free entry
• Short flight distances from Europe, North Africa, and the West of Asia.
• Affordable prices – much lower than their own country.

The following procedures may be included in aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry for your teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw, which may also include orthodontics (braces) and prosthodontics (dentures).

• 1. Dental material addition: By asking your cosmetic dentist to add dental material to your gums or teeth, you can have a megawatt grin to compete with Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt's. Gum grafts, porcelain veneers or laminates, crowns or caps, bonding, and gum augmentation can all be ordered separately for your teeth and gums.
• 2. Dental material may be removed in order to expose more teeth if you have a gummy grin. The same holds true if you or your dentist think your teeth are excessively big. Gum removal is referred to as a gingivectomy. The removal and scaling of enamel are referred to as Enameloplasty. Bonding and tooth contouring may be provided at the same appointment in some dental facilities.
• 3. Non-invasive Aesthetic Techniques to Enhance Your Smile: There are aesthetic procedures that can improve your smile without changing the shape of your teeth, gums, or other dental components. This entails gum depigmentation to achieve the right gum colour, laser whitening or bleaching of your teeth's enamel, and other operations.
• 4. Teeth that have been properly straightened through methods like wearing braces or retainers, often known as orthodontic dentistry, should enhance your overbite, underbite, or horse-like teeth. Since your jaw, chin, and cheeks have seen such drastic changes, this will then result in an improvement in the way your face looks.

When it comes to performing dental procedures and dental implants Turkey is a world-class leader. Every year thousands of patients travel to Turkey to get treated by a Turkish dentist to get that perfect smile. Additionally, many prefer regular dental examinations to ensure their oral health is well-maintained.

World-renowned dentists in Turkey are the core and the most powerful factor behind this multi-billion-dollar dental industry.

In Turkey, regular dental clinics as well as cosmetic dental clinics are medically qualified to be legally licensed. In addition to this, they must adhere to the rules of independent and government-owned organizations to maintain their operational status.

The Turkish Dental Association (TDA) hosts international conferences on a regular basis to discuss the latest advancements and techniques in dentistry. Students at certain universities and clinics in Turkey are awarded accreditation from organizations such as the American Dental Association (ADA) and they must sign international protocols to adhere to international standards of dental care.

Many dentists in Turkey belong to international associations and meet the standards established by WHO and ADA. These associations also include those of the International Team for Implantology (ITI) and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI)

Along with the rest of Europe, Turkey began to study dental sciences during the 19th and 20th centuries, based on Western standards, particularly those of more modern European countries. In the post-war period, society faced several shortages in the medical fields and a spirit of encouragement from the people and the government to pursue medical sciences became the norm for a long time. This resulted in the best of the top minds of the youth choosing to pursue medical studies and dentistry. Over time these fields became one of the most developed areas across the nation due to their long-running history, governed by leaders in their fields and offering high-quality treatment.

Rigorous Education
In Turkey, only those who consistently get top marks on their tests are admitted to the Faculty of Dentistry making this one of the toughest subjects to learn. In Turkey, the dental education process is five years long. The training for the student begins with what is known as the pre-clinic phase during their 3^rd year. During their training under their supervision as clinical interns, they can practice various treatment methods. The students work in various specialties such as surgical or in the field of pedodontics as well as treatments for veneers, root canal treatments, and dental crowns.

Students are required to take an exam after every course and should a student fail to pass even one class some dental colleges require their students to take a second exam of the whole year. After graduation from the Faculty of Dentistry, all candidates who would like to become specialists must take another exam and that is a standardized test called “DUS”. Based on the candidate's specialization they are required to finish a residency in clinical practice for up to 4 years. During the specialization period, candidates are required to carry out certain procedures such as implant surgery or any other procedure within the dental department for children

When we look at the education part of their professional career it is very demanding and the highest standards are demanded.

Unmatched Practical Experience
Due to the huge number of cases they have to deal with, dentists in Turkey gain a vast amount of knowledge relatively quickly. Just like in many countries in Europe the candidates begin their practice in the 3^rd year of university, however, the amount of procedures they undergo in Turkey is greater than what is considered the norm in other European countries. This is mainly due to a large number of dental cases Turkey hosts. For this reason, many European students in dentistry choose to take a course in Turkey for their Erasmus Exchange year to test their theoretical knowledge.

Therefore, with their rigorous training and with their hands-on knowledge of the field, dentists and dental professionals in Turkey have a certain degree of expertise that makes patients feel secure and comfortable in their capabilities.

Dentists in Turkey are expected to stay up-to-date with the ever-changing field of dentistry due to the sheer size of this business. You will find the best dental clinics in Turkey use top-of-the-line technology including 3D/CT scanning, digital x-rays, and computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology. Utilizing the latest technology and materials requires continuous learning and improvement in the method of use.

Dentists in Turkey are typically bilingual and communicate easily in English. This is another way for dentists to establish trust through their high level of interaction with the patients. The patient can discuss their dental issues directly with the dentist, rather than going through an intermediary, and the dentist can guide the patient through their dental treatment in greater detail. This will result in a pleasant visit to the dental clinic.

In the event, the dentist and the patient don't have the same dialect the dental clinic typically provides a translator for the patient. For example, patients who don't speak Turkish or English.

Patients coming to Turkey to seek dental care make significant savings. Dental treatments in Turkey are much cheaper than clinics in Western Europe, North America, and Australia. Patients wonder why the prices are much cheaper in Turkey and sometimes they may think lower prices for dental care mean lower quality of care. However, that is not the case in Turkey as Turkey is a country that meets EU standards. Let us now look at some of the reasons that explain why dental care in Turkey at one of our clinics is more affordable for patients from developed countries.

Clinic Operational Costs are Low
The main reason is that the overall operational costs, including laboratory costs and dentist fees, are much lower in Turkey compared to countries like the UK or the USA. It is estimated that dentist prices in Turkey are up to 70% less compared to Western Europe and the USA. The numbers fluctuate, obviously, but in general, the costs are far more manageable resulting in the cost-savings trickling directly down to the patients who don't have to pay as much as in many other countries.

Also, if you compare the prices in Europe and the USA, the dentists in those countries will have significantly higher rates due to the currency they are operating under and because the dental schools in those countries are more expensive. Additionally, dentistry is a large part of Turkey's economy and Turkey has some of the best dental schools.

The overall cost of dental care is cheaper in Turkey and this means patients end up getting the procedures done at much lower rates. Another factor that plays a part in the lower prices is the opportunity to benefit from high exchange rates. So, if you want quality dental work and to save money and at the same time have a holiday then Turkey should be your go-to destination.

Turkey's tourism sector is booming as travelling to Turkey is much cheaper compared to, say, Spain, Italy and even Hungary. All the needs of a tourist, such as accommodation and food are comparatively much lower in Turkey. For example, it is possible to stay in a 5-star hotel around £20 per night and you can eat at local restaurant for less than £10. The accommodation options range from budget to luxury so you can find the best accommodation that fits your needs.

As for eating it is possible to eat well very cheaply in Turkey thanks to the large variety of cheap restaurants and eating places everywhere. The public transportation system as well as the local taxis are very cheap for tourists.

Free Services
To bring your overall costs down even further many dental clinics provide free services such as free airport transfers, and transportation from hotel to the clinic for your appointments. Additionally, the initial consultation with a dentist specialist will be provided free of charge. In other countries the first diagnosis could cost you hundreds of pounds or dollars, however, clinics in Turkey facilitate this service at no charge to you.

Diagnostic tools such as panoramic x-rays and 3D tomography scans are not always necessary but dentists in countries like the USA charge a lot if these technologies are needed. However, in Turkey, the clinics generally don't charge if an x-ray or a 3D scan is needed.

Cost Comparison: 70% Savings

Procedure              Turkey              USA/UK

Veneers                $110 - 350        $600-$2500

Dental Crowns     $130 - 260        $1100 - $1500

Dental Implants  $400 - 700        $3000 - 4500

It is not possible to estimate the cost of your dental treatment in Turkey without understanding the specific dental treatment required. However, what we can say for sure is that dental care in Turkey is much cheaper than in most Western countries, so you can definitely expect to pay a fraction of the price for similar treatment in your country.

Turkey should be high on your list of potential destinations if you are looking for high-quality and affordable dental care. Turkey has a long history of providing excellent dental care to patients from all over the world who come To Turkey to cut their costs to a fraction of the original amount in their country and at the same time to take a holiday!

As a general guide, the majority of cosmetic treatments can be completed within one week requiring 3 or maybe 4 dental appointments. However, based on your personal circumstances and the dental procedure you require you will be advised how long to travel for the treatment.

It is possible to place dental implants during a 3-day visit and other cosmetic dentistry procedures such as Crowns or Veneers can be completed in 4-5 days.

Other procedures such as Teeth Whitening, Root Canal Treatment, and Fillings can be completed in one appointment.
