For tooth-replacement surgery, see the separate dental implants section.

Cosmetic & restorative treatments

Porcelain veneers

Thin ceramic facings bonded to the front of a tooth to change colour and shape. How they work, longevity and care.

Composite veneers

Tooth-coloured resin shaped directly onto the tooth in one visit — a lower-cost, repairable alternative to porcelain.

E-max veneers

Lithium-disilicate ceramic that balances strength and a natural, translucent look. How it compares to other ceramics.

Hollywood smile

What the marketing term really involves — veneers or crowns, on how many teeth — and what to check before agreeing.

Smile design & makeover

How digital smile design previews the result, and how a makeover combines several treatments into one plan.

Dental crowns

Caps that restore damaged teeth. Zirconia, E-max and metal-ceramic compared, plus procedure and aftercare.

Dental bridges

Fixed replacements for missing teeth, and how a bridge compares with a single dental implant.

Teeth whitening

How professional bleaching works, in-office versus take-home, safety, sensitivity and how long results last.

Dentures — full & partial

Removable tooth replacement — full, partial, flexible and implant-retained overdentures compared.

Root canal treatment

Saving an infected tooth: the procedure, pain and aftercare, and why a crown often follows.

Invisalign & clear aligners

How removable aligners straighten teeth, treatment time, and the logistics of orthodontics from abroad.

Looking for implants?

Dental implants — including single implants, All-on-4 and All-on-6 full-arch solutions — are covered in their own dedicated section because they involve surgery and a different treatment timeline. See the dental implants guide and implant cost in Turkey.

Costs and choosing a clinic

Every treatment page shows indicative guide price bands. For fuller pricing see veneers cost and crowns & bridges cost. Before committing to any treatment, read how to choose a clinic, the safety section, and compare providers in the Istanbul clinic comparison.

Medical & regulatory note. General information only — not medical advice, diagnosis, or endorsement of any clinic. Dental treatment carries risks and outcomes vary between individuals. Consult a qualified dentist and verify a clinic’s registration and accreditation directly before deciding.
