Request My Private Case ReviewAn online review is preliminary. Final suitability, treatment and costs are confirmed after examination in Istanbul.
What to expect from IST Smile Experts
A useful treatment plan answers more than “How much?” It explains what your teeth need, why the proposed approach is appropriate and what alternatives remain available. Our published clinical standards set out how assessment, consent and documentation guide care.
Clinical decisions before cosmetic promises
The IST Smile Experts Clinical Team considers your teeth, gums, bite, medical history and goals. Healthy tooth structure is preserved where the case allows. Treatment may be changed or postponed if the findings make the original plan unsuitable.
Materials named in your plan
Ask for the proposed ceramic or implant system by name, alongside the reason for choosing it. This makes your options easier to compare and supports future maintenance. A material brand alone does not determine the outcome.
Costs you can review before agreeing
Your itemised plan sets out treatment quantities, visits, inclusions, exclusions and applicable warranty terms. If examination changes the recommendation, discuss the revised scope and price before treatment starts.
A plan for after you return home
Before travelling, clarify routine check-ups, aftercare contact details and how complications would be assessed. Read independent patient feedback alongside clinical information, not as a promise of the same result for everyone.
Learn more about IST Smile Experts and the Clinical Team. Ask who will provide your care and discuss their professional registration, experience and role in your treatment.
Find the right treatment direction
You do not need to choose a material or a fixed number of teeth before contacting us. The first decision is whether your concern calls for cosmetic improvement, restoration or tooth replacement. The dedicated guides below explain each treatment in more detail.
E-Max veneers
For suitable teeth, thin ceramic veneers can improve visible shape and colour. Gum health, enamel, bite and expectations matter. Most veneer treatment involves irreversible enamel removal; no-prep treatment is not suitable for everyone.
Explore E-Max veneer suitability or compare veneer packages.
Zirconium crowns
Crowns provide more extensive tooth coverage when the tooth needs it. The reason for a crown should be explained tooth by tooth. A cosmetic concern alone does not make a full crown the most conservative option.
Dental implants
Implants may replace missing teeth in suitable patients. Planning considers bone, gums, medical history and the final restoration. The written plan should distinguish the implant fixture, abutment and crown or bridge.
Smile makeovers
A smile makeover is a personalised combination of treatments, not a standard set of crowns. When appropriate, a try-in mock-up helps you discuss shape and proportions before irreversible preparation.
Considering a full arch? All-on-4 and All-on-6 care normally follows two visits. Temporary fixed teeth may be fitted at Visit 1 when clinically suitable. The final bridge follows about 3 to 6 months of healing, subject to assessment. CBCT findings, bone volume, implant distribution, grafting needs and prosthetic design determine suitability.
Compare the complete plan, not only the headline price
Dental treatment cost depends on the number of teeth or implants, material choice, preparatory care and the number of visits. Use our current dental price list for initial budgeting and package overview to compare treatment formats. Published figures do not replace your personal quotation.

Turn your questions into a clear starting plan
Tell us your main dental concern and preferred travel dates. Ask for a preliminary treatment direction, likely visit schedule and itemised estimate, with the points that still need an in-person assessment clearly identified.
Ask About My Options and BudgetYour journey with our Istanbul dental clinic
- Start with a private discussion. Explain what you want to improve and which treatments you have had. The team can explain how to share existing records for a preliminary review.
- Confirm the findings in person. The dentist examines your mouth and selects imaging when indicated. CBCT is not automatically required for every cosmetic case. Existing images and lower-exposure options are considered where appropriate.
- Review options and give informed consent. Discuss benefits, limitations, risks, treatment quantities, costs and alternatives. For suitable cosmetic cases, a diagnostic try-in mock-up previews shape and proportions. It is separate from trying in the finished restorations before bonding.
- Complete the agreed stages and plan follow-up. Fit, bite and care instructions are checked as appropriate to the treatment. Healing can require additional time or visits. Confirm your follow-up arrangements before returning home.
Dental clinic in Istanbul: your questions answered
How do I choose a dental clinic in Istanbul?
Check who will assess your case, why each treatment is recommended, which materials will be used and what follow-up is available. Ask for an itemised written plan with alternatives, risks, visits, exclusions and warranty conditions. Independent reviews and patient photographs add context, but do not replace clinical assessment.
Can I receive a treatment plan before travelling?
Yes. You can request a preliminary review using your dental concerns, photographs and existing dental records. The team can discuss possible options, an estimated budget and a provisional schedule. Final suitability and pricing require an in-person examination and any imaging your case needs.
Do all patients need a CBCT scan?
No. The dentist selects imaging after reviewing your history, existing images and clinical findings. CBCT may be needed for implant planning or another specific question, but it is not a routine requirement for every veneer or crown case.
Will veneers require my teeth to be reduced for crowns?
Veneers and crowns are different treatments. A veneer covers mainly the front of a tooth; a crown covers substantially more of it. Preparation depends on your teeth, bite and goals. Most veneer treatment involves irreversible enamel removal. A crown should have a clinical reason, not be the default for a cosmetic change.
Can I preview my proposed smile before treatment?
When suitable, a try-in mock-up placed over your teeth lets you discuss shape and proportions before irreversible preparation. This is a diagnostic preview, not the final ceramic restoration. A separate try-in checks the finished restorations before bonding or cementation.
Can full-arch implant treatment be completed in one visit?
Full-arch care normally involves two visits. Temporary fixed teeth may be fitted at Visit 1 when implant stability and your clinical condition allow. The final bridge is usually fitted after about 3 to 6 months of healing. CBCT findings, bone volume, implant distribution, grafting needs and bridge design determine your plan.
Are hotels, transfers and extra procedures included?
Inclusions depend on the package and your written quotation. Confirm hotel nights, transfers, diagnostic costs, temporary teeth and final restorations before booking. Extractions, root canal treatment or grafting may change the cost. Flights, insurance, extra accommodation and follow-up at home should be budgeted separately unless expressly included.
What happens if I need care after returning home?
You receive aftercare instructions and contact details for the coordination team. Agree on routine check-ups, local dental care and any return visit before travelling. Ask for the applicable warranty conditions, exclusions and responsibility for additional costs in writing. Remote advice cannot replace an examination or urgent local care.
