Dental care planned around you, from first visit to follow-up

For adults with healthy teeth and gums, a check-up every six months is usually recommended. With gum disease, a tendency to tooth decay, smoking or conditions such as diabetes, the dentist may ask to see you more often. The interval depends on your individual risk level.

Yes. The early stages of tooth decay and gum disease usually cause no pain, so they are only noticed during an examination and, where needed, on an X-ray. Pain is often a sign that the problem has already progressed.

Not for every procedure. For dental implants, root canal treatment, removal of impacted teeth and advanced gum treatment, however, the jawbone and root structure need to be imaged. In these cases a panoramic X-ray or a three-dimensional CT scan (CBCT) is requested.

Most dental procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia, and pain is not expected during the procedure itself. Once the anaesthetic wears off, mild sensitivity or pain may occur; how strong it is depends on the procedure and on the person.

It depends on the procedure. Fillings and scaling are usually completed in a single visit; root canal treatment takes one or two visits, while implant treatment, including healing time, can take several months. The exact duration is set out in the treatment plan drawn up after the examination.

The Turkish Regulation on Advertising and Information in Health Services does not allow healthcare providers to publish treatment fees for promotional purposes. In addition, every treatment plan is individual; fees can only be discussed after an examination and, if needed, a radiological assessment.

Yes. Children can be assessed for preventive care, treatment of tooth decay and irregularly positioned teeth. The first orthodontic assessment should ideally be carried out during the period when milk teeth and permanent teeth are present together.
