Tooth Fillings (Amalgam & Composite) in Istanbul, Turkey

Good question. Unfortunately, many patients who travel for their treatment face unethical practices in clinics they prefer such as getting bullied about surprise charges by clinics.

The plan and price we share with you are carefully prepared based on the photos, X-rays, or details and your expectations that you send us before your trip. When you arrive, we simply confirm everything in person with an examination before beginning your treatment.

Sometimes, however, a small detail that could not be seen in the photos or x-rays may show up during the clinic examination. For example, this might be the need to reinforce your bone tissue with grafting and sinus lifting procedure. Unlike most clinics that deal with international patients, the pricing and the possibility of these details are transparently shared with you in your treatment plan.

If that happens, we will explain it clearly, show you the issue, and discuss all the options with you before making any changes. Nothing is ever done without your agreement.

Your treatment plan and price will stay the same unless we discover something new during your check-up. Even then, we’ll decide together with you about your options before moving forward with any treatments.

Our clinic also helps arrange trusted transportation and accommodation options to make sure you feel comfortable and secure during your stay.

Unfortunately yes, it can. Gum problems often mean there is a build-up of bacteria and tartar under the gums. These bacteria release odors when they feed on the food particles left inside your mouth, which can lead to persistent bad breath. Infections or gum disease can make this even stronger.

The good news is that with proper treatment and good oral care, it will improve quickly. Regular dental cleanings, brushing, flossing, and treating any gum issues are the key to keeping your breath fresh.

A deep cleaning (also called scaling) removes tartar and plaque from above and just below the gumline. It’s usually enough when gum problems are mild and there isn’t too much damage yet.

Curettage, on the other hand, is needed when gum disease has reached an advanced stage. In this treatment, the dentist cleans much deeper under the gums, removing infected tissue and bacteria from the pockets that have formed around the teeth. This helps the gums heal and reattach more firmly to the teeth.

Both treatments are used to clean the teeth and gums, but they are chosen for different stages of gum disease. If the patient has gum disease, these procedures need to be completed before further treatments can take place.

A flap operation is a type of gum treatment used when regular cleaning is no longer enough. In this procedure, your periodontologist gently lifts the gum tissue to clean deep areas around the tooth roots, removing bacteria and tartar that can’t be reached otherwise. After cleaning, the gum is placed back so it can heal in a healthier position.

This treatment is usually needed in advanced gum disease, especially when deep “pockets” have formed between the teeth and gums. If left untreated, these pockets can cause ongoing infection, loose teeth that swings in your mouth, and even tooth loss.

The effects of whitening are not permanent, but with good care they can last quite a while. On average, most patients enjoy their brighter smile for a year. How long it lasts also heavily depends on your habits. For example, drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking can make the teeth darken again more quickly.

Regular brushing, routine dental cleanings, and avoiding too many staining foods or drinks will help keep the results for longer. Some patients also choose a small “touch-up” session once in a while to maintain their ideal shade.

The short answer is yes. If a tooth infection is left untreated for a long time, it can spread to the surrounding bone. The infection slowly damages the bone tissue that supports your tooth, and over time this may lead to bone loss. This is one of the reasons why infected teeth can eventually become loose or need to be removed and replaced with an implant.

The good news is that if the infection is treated early — with procedures like a root canal, proper cleaning, or sometimes antibiotics — bone loss can usually be prevented. That’s why it’s very important not to ignore pain, swelling, or sensitivity in your teeth.

An untreated infection can cause bone loss, but if your treatment is done in a timely manner, your bone and teeth can be protected.

Yes, it is possible to cover a tooth with gold or add a decorative piece, but it’s not something we recommend for long-term use. While gold is strong and safe, jewelry-style caps are usually chosen for looks rather than health. They don’t always fit as securely as regular crowns, which means food and bacteria can get trapped, leading to problems like cavities or gum issues.

If you’re interested in this type of design, it can be arranged as a special request.

While teeth can be covered with gold or jewelry, but regular crowns are healthier and safer for everyday use, so protecting your oral health will always be our top priority.

Not always. A filling is enough when the decay is only on the surface or “middle” part of the tooth. But if the decay has gone very deep and reached the nerve of the tooth, a root canal is needed to clean out the infection and save the tooth.

In other words, a filling repairs the “outside damage,” while a root canal is only required if the “inside nerve” is affected. We will take an X-ray and check carefully to decide which treatment is best.

A tooth with a filling only needs a root canal if the decay has reached the nerve. Otherwise, the filling alone is enough.

After a root canal, the inside of your tooth is cleaned and sealed, but the outside still needs to be protected. The procedure leaves the tooth weaker and more fragile than its original state. A filling or crown is placed on top to close the opening and give the tooth strength again, so it doesn’t break or get reinfected.

Think of the root canal as fixing the “inside” of the tooth, while the filling or crown protects the “outside” so you can chew and smile normally. So yes, a filling (or sometimes a crown) is still needed after a root canal to keep the tooth strong and healthy.

Wisdom teeth are the very last teeth to come in, usually in your late teens or early twenties. By that time, most people’s jaws don’t have enough space left for them to grow in properly. Because of this, wisdom teeth often come in at the wrong angle, stay partly under the gum, or push against the other teeth. This can cause pain, swelling, infection, or even damage to nearby teeth.

It’s not that wisdom teeth are “useless” — if they grow in straight and healthy, they can work just like your other teeth. But in most cases, they don’t have the space they need, so keeping them can lead to problems later on. That’s why dentists often recommend removing them before they cause bigger issues.

Wisdom teeth are usually taken out not because they are extra, but because there’s rarely enough room for them to grow and stay in the mouth safely.

Postponing dental treatment is possible, but it is not the safest choice. Dental health issues tend to present themselves without major symptoms and are progressive. Small problems like cavities or gum issues often start out painless. But over time, they can grow and lead to bigger issues such as infections, tooth loss, then bone loss, or the need for more complex treatments.

If your situation isn’t urgent, a short delay may not cause harm. However, the longer you wait, the higher the risk that the problem becomes more serious and costly to fix. More delay means more chances for your oral and dental health to get worse.

It’s best not to delay dental treatment. If you have concerns about timing, consult your dentist. Together you can make a plan that fits your needs.
