Dental Treatments in Türkiye

Which treatment do you actually need?

Most patients arrive with a symptom rather than a treatment name, so it is worth reading the categories below in that order.

If teeth are missing. One missing tooth is usually a single implant with a crown. Several missing in a row can be implants or a bridge, depending on the bone. A whole arch missing is All-on-4 or All-on-6 if you want fixed teeth, or an implant-retained overdenture if you would rather have something removable that costs less. An implant needs three to four months to integrate, which is why implant cases mean two trips to Ankara.

If teeth are present but you dislike how they look. Colour alone is whitening. Small chips, gaps and edge shape are composite bonding, done in a single visit with no drilling. Shape and colour together, across the front teeth, are veneers. Teeth that are heavily filled, root-treated or structurally weak need crowns rather than veneers, because a veneer needs sound enamel underneath it to bond to. If you are not sure which applies, smile design is the process that decides — you see the result on your own face before anything is prepared.

If teeth are crooked. Clear aligners or fixed appliances. This is the one category that suits travelling patients least well, because it needs regular review; we will say so at the enquiry stage rather than after you have booked a flight.

If something hurts, or snoring is the problem. Root canal treatment saves a tooth that would otherwise be extracted, and it is almost always the better option. Snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea can be treated with a mandibular advancement appliance; severe apnoea cannot, and we will tell you that before you travel.

Every treatment below shows how many days it needs in Ankara. If your case spans more than one category, send your records and we will build the sequence for you — the order matters, and whitening almost always comes before veneers rather than after.
