IST Smile Experts is a private oral and dental polyclinic in Istanbul. The clinic provides cosmetic, restorative and implant dentistry for local and international patients, with treatment planning based on examination, imaging, oral health, bite and the patient’s goals.

Yes. The clinic coordinates dental treatment for patients travelling from the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and other regions. Depending on the confirmed plan, coordination may include treatment scheduling, hotel accommodation, VIP transfers and language support.

No dental procedure is completely risk-free. IST Smile Experts reduces avoidable risk through clinical assessment, appropriate radiography, sterilisation protocols, treatment-specific planning and written aftercare. The team also delays or declines treatment when active disease, medical risk or unrealistic timing could compromise the result.

The dentist evaluates the teeth, gums, bone, bite, existing dental work, medical history, medications and expectations. Photographs can support a preliminary review, but the final decision may require panoramic imaging, CBCT, intraoral scanning or other diagnostics at the clinic.

Yes. The clinical team may delay or decline elective treatment when the risk outweighs the expected benefit. Examples include uncontrolled gum disease, uncontrolled diabetes, active infection, insufficient diagnostic information, heavy smoking without risk control or a requested timeline that does not respect healing.

Treatment options include E-Max veneers, zirconium crowns, smile makeovers, composite bonding, professional whitening, dental bridges, root canal treatment and selected orthodontic care. The dentist recommends the least invasive suitable option rather than automatically placing veneers or crowns.

E-Max veneers mainly cover the visible front surface of suitable teeth and focus on cosmetic improvement with adhesive bonding. Zirconium crowns surround substantially more of the tooth and may suit teeth that need greater structural restoration or full coverage. The condition of each tooth should determine the choice.

The amount varies by tooth and case. In carefully selected minimal-preparation cases, the dentist may limit reduction to approximately 0.3 to 0.4 mm in specific enamel areas. Alignment, colour change, existing restorations, bite and final ceramic thickness can require a different approach.

Depending on the treatment, available systems include Ivoclar IPS e.max ceramics, premium zirconia, 3M restorative materials, Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Medigma implant options, and Fläsh whitening technology. The written treatment plan should identify the material or implant system selected for the individual case.

Yes, when the clinical workflow allows a design or try-in stage. The dentist checks fit, proportions, shade, speech and bite, while the patient reviews the agreed appearance before final bonding or cementation. Clinical safety and material limitations still guide the final decision.

IST Smile Experts places established titanium implant systems and does not place zirconia implants. Titanium offers extensive clinical documentation and a broad range of restorative components. The dentist selects the appropriate system after reviewing bone anatomy, bite, medical factors and the planned restoration.

All-on-4 supports a full arch on four implants, while All-on-6 uses six implants when anatomy and restorative planning allow it. More implants do not automatically mean a better plan. CBCT findings, bone distribution, arch width, bite forces and prosthetic design determine which option offers the appropriate support.

Many implant cases require two visits. During the first visit, the dentist places the implants and provides the planned temporary solution when suitable. After approximately three to four months of healing, the patient returns for the final crown or fixed bridge. Grafting or complex anatomy can change this timeline.

Implant planning commonly requires three-dimensional CBCT imaging to evaluate bone volume, nerves, sinuses and implant position. If you already have a recent scan, the team can review it provisionally. Otherwise, the clinic can complete the required panoramic imaging or CBCT during the clinical visit.

Possibly. The team first needs the implant brand, model and component information, along with current imaging and a clinical assessment. Compatibility, implant position, bone condition, soft tissue and mechanical stability determine whether the existing implants can support the proposed restoration.

The final cost depends on the diagnosis, number of teeth, selected material or implant system, laboratory stages and any preparatory treatment. Review the current dental price guide and request a personalised written quotation based on your records and clinical needs.

The written quotation should list the planned procedures, materials, unit count, hotel or transfer inclusions, exclusions and payment terms. If the in-clinic examination reveals an additional need, the team explains the reason and price before starting that treatment. A remote quotation remains provisional until the clinical assessment.

The clinic uses EUR as its base currency and can accept cash payments in EUR, GBP or USD according to the confirmed payment terms. Card payments add a 15% bank processing fee, so please confirm card availability before the appointment. The written quotation records the agreed payment method.

IST Smile Experts provides a 10-year written warranty for eligible E-Max veneers and zirconium crowns, plus lifetime implant coverage under the clinic’s written implant warranty. Every warranty remains subject to its maintenance requirements, clinical conditions and exclusions.

No. A warranty defines specific coverage under written terms; it cannot guarantee biological healing or eliminate every complication. Gum health, oral hygiene, smoking, medical conditions, bite forces, trauma and routine maintenance all influence long-term outcomes.

Most international veneer and crown cases require approximately five to seven days. The exact schedule depends on the number of teeth, oral health, laboratory stages, try-in appointments and additional procedures. Wait for the provisional clinical timeline before booking non-refundable travel.

Selected cosmetic and implant packages can include hotel accommodation, breakfast and VIP airport and clinic transfers. Cosmetic packages commonly plan around six hotel nights. However, the written quotation must confirm the hotel, number of nights, transfer schedule, inclusions and additional-night charges.

Yes, IST Smile Experts can provide scheduled treatment appointments on Saturdays. The clinical team confirms the exact appointment sequence before arrival because laboratory stages, treatment type and the patient’s flight schedule can affect availability.

Many patients plan light sightseeing around cosmetic appointments. However, surgery, swelling, medication or post-operative instructions may limit activity. Follow the dentist’s advice, keep every clinical appointment available and avoid planning demanding activities immediately after implant surgery.

The clinic provides English and Arabic patient coordination. It can also arrange French-language interpretation when requested in advance. Confirm language support before travel so the team can coordinate the appropriate person for consultations and important treatment discussions.

Send five clear dental photographs, a panoramic X-ray or CBCT if available, your full name and age, relevant medical conditions, previous surgeries, current medication, height and weight, and your preferred travel month. This information helps the clinical team prepare a provisional direction before you travel.

No. The online review can provide a provisional recommendation, estimated cost and likely timeline. The dentist confirms the final diagnosis and tooth-by-tooth plan only after examining the teeth, gums, bite and imaging in person.

The dentist uses local anaesthesia when the procedure requires it, which controls pain during treatment. Temporary sensitivity, soreness or swelling can occur afterward, depending on the procedure. The team provides medication and aftercare guidance based on the patient’s medical history and treatment.

The clinic provides written aftercare instructions and remote communication for treatment-related questions. Patients should also maintain routine care with a local dentist and seek urgent in-person treatment when symptoms require it. Keep your treatment report, material details, implant information and final imaging for future care.

Contact IST Smile Experts through WhatsApp or the consultation form and send the requested records. The team aims to respond to contact-form enquiries within two business days; WhatsApp is the faster fallback for urgent scheduling. Confirm the plan and travel dates before sending flight tickets to secure the appointment.
