Turkey has become a leading destination for dental tourism due to several key advantages. Firstly, the cost of dental treatments is significantly lower (often 50-70% less) compared to countries like the UK, USA, Canada, and Western Europe, without compromising on quality. Secondly, Turkish dental clinics, especially those catering to international patients like IzyDent, are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and adhere to high international standards. Thirdly, Turkish dentists are highly qualified and experienced, many having trained internationally. Finally, Turkey offers a unique opportunity to combine high-quality dental care with a memorable travel experience, thanks to its rich culture, history, and renowned hospitality.

Yes, absolutely. At IzyDent, we offer comprehensive dental tourism packages that include assistance with travel planning and accommodation. Our dedicated patient coordinators can help you find suitable flights and book accommodation at partner hotels near our clinic, often at preferential rates. We also provide complimentary airport transfers (pickup and drop-off) for our international patients. Our goal is to make your entire journey as smooth and stress-free as possible, allowing you to focus on your treatment and enjoy your time in Antalya.

Yes, English is widely spoken by our entire team, including dentists, patient coordinators, and support staff. We understand the importance of clear communication for international patients. Your dedicated patient coordinator will be fluent in English and will assist you throughout your journey, ensuring you understand every aspect of your treatment plan and feel comfortable asking questions. We also have staff members who speak other languages, such as German, French, Arabic, and Russian. Please let us know your language preference when you contact us.

The required length of stay depends on the type and complexity of your dental treatment. For cosmetic procedures like veneers or crowns, a stay of 5-7 days is typically sufficient. Teeth whitening can often be done in a single visit. For dental implants, the process usually involves two visits. The first visit for implant placement typically requires a stay of 3-5 days. After a healing period of 3-6 months, a second visit of 5-7 days is needed for placing the final crowns or bridges. For complex cases like All-on-4, the initial stay might be around 7-10 days. Your personalized treatment plan will include a detailed timeline and recommended length of stay.

IzyDent offers a comprehensive range of dental treatments, specializing in cosmetic and restorative dentistry for international patients. Our key services include: Dental Implants (including All-on-4/All-on-6), Hollywood Smile Makeovers, Porcelain Veneers (E-max, Zirconia), Dental Crowns & Bridges (Zirconia, E-max, PFM), Teeth Whitening (Laser/Office Whitening), Gum Contouring (Gingivectomy), Root Canal Treatment, Orthodontics (limited options, please inquire), Dentures, and General Dentistry (fillings, extractions, cleaning). We utilize the latest technology and high-quality materials for all procedures.

We prioritize patient comfort and utilize effective pain management techniques. Most dental procedures are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the treatment. For more complex procedures like implant surgery or for patients with dental anxiety, we offer sedation options (such as IV sedation or conscious sedation) administered by qualified anesthesiologists. You might experience some mild discomfort or soreness after certain procedures (like implant placement or extractions), but this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers prescribed by your dentist. We provide detailed post-operative instructions to minimize discomfort and promote healing.

We use only internationally recognized and certified high-quality materials and brands. For dental implants, we primarily work with globally renowned brands such as Straumann (Switzerland), Nobel Biocare (Switzerland/Sweden), and reputable Turkish brands known for their quality and reliability, offering different price points. For veneers and crowns, we use premium materials like E-max (Ivoclar Vivadent) and Zirconia (from leading manufacturers). We believe in transparency and will discuss the specific brands and materials recommended for your case during your consultation, explaining the benefits of each option.

Patients can typically save between 50% and 70% on their dental treatments at IzyDent compared to prices in the UK, Western Europe, USA, Canada, and Australia. The exact savings depend on the specific treatment and the prices in your home country. For example, a single dental implant with a crown might cost £3,000-£4,000 in the UK, whereas in Turkey, it could be around £800-£1,500. Similarly, porcelain veneers might cost £800-£1,200 per tooth in the UK/USA, compared to £250-£400 per tooth in Turkey. These significant cost savings are primarily due to lower operational costs and living expenses in Turkey, not a compromise on quality.

We believe in complete transparency regarding pricing. After your initial consultation (which includes examination and necessary X-rays/scans), we provide a detailed, all-inclusive treatment plan outlining the costs for each procedure. This quote typically covers the dental treatment itself, anesthesia, laboratory fees, temporary restorations (if needed), and post-operative check-ups during your stay. Our packages often include airport transfers and sometimes accommodation assistance. Costs not typically included are flights, personal expenses, meals, and optional tours. We ensure you understand exactly what is included in your quote before you commit to treatment.

We accept various payment methods for your convenience. You can pay via cash (Turkish Lira, Euro, US Dollar, British Pound), major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard), or bank transfer. Please note that payments made by credit card may incur a small processing fee imposed by the bank. We typically require a deposit to secure your appointment booking, with the remaining balance payable during your visit as treatment progresses. Your patient coordinator will provide detailed information about payment schedules and options.

Yes, dental treatment at reputable clinics in Turkey, like IzyDent, is very safe. We adhere to strict international standards of hygiene and sterilization, often exceeding local requirements. Our clinic uses advanced sterilization equipment (autoclaves) and follows rigorous protocols to prevent cross-contamination. Our dentists are highly qualified and experienced, and we use certified, high-quality materials from trusted global brands. Turkey has a well-regulated healthcare system, and clinics catering to international patients are regularly inspected. We prioritize patient safety and well-being above all else.

Our dental team consists of highly qualified and experienced specialists in various fields of dentistry, including implantology, cosmetic dentistry, prosthodontics, and oral surgery. All our dentists are graduates of reputable Turkish or international universities and are registered with the Turkish Dental Association. Many have pursued postgraduate training and certifications abroad (e.g., in the USA, Germany, UK) and regularly attend international conferences and workshops to stay updated with the latest advancements. You can find detailed profiles and credentials of our dental team on our About Us page.

Yes, we stand behind the quality of our work and offer guarantees on many of our treatments. For example, dental implants typically come with a lifetime guarantee (for the implant fixture itself), while crowns, bridges, and veneers usually have a guarantee period of 5 years or more, provided that patients follow proper oral hygiene practices and attend regular check-ups. The specific terms and duration of the guarantee depend on the treatment and materials used and will be clearly outlined in your treatment plan. We are committed to ensuring the long-term success and satisfaction of our patients.

We provide comprehensive aftercare support even after you return home. Your patient coordinator will remain your point of contact for any questions or concerns. If you experience any issues related to the treatment performed at our clinic, please contact us immediately. We can often provide guidance remotely or liaise with a local dentist if necessary.

Absolutely! Many of our patients take advantage of their trip to Antalya to explore the city’s rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning sights. Depending on your treatment schedule, there will likely be free days between appointments.
