Cosmetic Dentistry has become more popular in recent years, with more affordable and high-quality procedures being made accessible to all walks of life. This has become especially true in the dentistry practices of Turkey which have sparked many tourists to consider it as their go-to country for medical and leisure travel needs.

I put together a guide for you to find out more about what to expect in terms of cosmetic dentistry when you visit Turkey. While you’re here you can also download our complete before and after catalog, it’s free!

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on enhancing the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums, and smile. Unlike traditional dentistry, which primarily deals with oral health and the treatment of dental diseases, cosmetic dentistry primarily concentrates on improving the aesthetic aspects of the mouth.

Quick Cosmetic Procedures to Undergo While on Your Stay in Turkey

Teeth Whitening and Dental Bonding are two options for anyone interested in a quick fix for the complexion and overall feel of their teeth. Teeth whitening uses chemicals to alter the colour of your teeth and can be done within the first consultation with your dentist. You can walk out with visible brighter teeth the same day!

Dental Bonding is also quite a fast procedure, though the time needed for this procedure is dependent on how many teeth need to be done. Ranging anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, you may need to return to the dentist’s office a few times to get bonding done on more teeth.

Another fast and simple cosmetic dental procedure is teeth cleaning, which only takes a few minutes and can instantly improve the overall complexion of your teeth while removing buildup on them.

What to Look out for When Considering a Cosmetic Dentist in Turkey

The most difficult part of the cosmetic dental process is looking for the right dental practice to suit your needs. As there are many search results online for dental practices, it would be wise to first research them and make sure that they are trusted dental practitioners, are fully licensed and have a good track record with great reviews under their belt.

Comparing different clinics and what they have to offer in terms of dental procedures may give some insight into the experience level and quality you can expect from a dentist as well. Be sure to also research whether or not the dental practitioner you are interested in using for your procedure is fully qualified and has a few years of experience behind them to be on the safe side.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Turkey: Is It Safe?

The Turkish government has implemented stringent regulations and policies to ensure the quality and safety of cosmetic dental procedures. These measures aim to protect patients and maintain the reputation of the Turkish dental industry.

The Ministry of Health in Turkey has established comprehensive guidelines and standards that all dental practitioners must adhere to when performing cosmetic dentistry procedures. These guidelines cover crucial aspects such as sterilization protocols, infection control measures, and the use of approved materials and equipment. By enforcing these regulations, the government aims to safeguard patient health and prevent any potential risks associated with cosmetic dental treatments.

In addition to these regulations, the Turkish Dental Association (TDA) plays a crucial role in shaping the cosmetic dentistry industry. The TDA sets professional standards, provides continuing education opportunities, and promotes ethical practices among its members. IdealofMeD’s dentists are members of the TDA, they are required to adhere to a strict code of conduct, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care.
