Irina Sacuka2024-03-30Came to put 6 dental implants and 26 teeth crowns. Got great experience and high service and the most important beautiful smile. I have communicated with many different clinics in Istanbul and Antalya, examined reviews in different sources, compared prices before made my choice. Finally decided on Dentares Smile Clinic. From the very beginning and till final stage Russian speaking manager Svetlana was in contact with me online and offline in communication with clinic doctor. No problem with language understanding. All communication before was in Whatsapp, replies were prompt. I havent had 3D Xrey so treatment plan was made based on my photos. I was warned that possibly there will be corrections on place when I will arrive, I was prepared. Finally price was a bit higher than I was informed because there were more manipulations made. Treatment process was devided into 2 stages- in my first visit was examination, development of treatment plan and implant installation. Price quote included transfer for whole period of stay, 3 nights in the hotel with breakfast, all examination works, needed treatment and implants. Timing was always observed, I was informed about my schedule ahead and could always plan my time effectively. For first visit I came for 5 days and covered additionally price for 2 nights at hotel, but I do recommend to come for first visit for 5 working days as 3 days seems lack of time to do all the work. They give to choose 3 hotels, the one I have chosen was very good and comfortable. All recommendations, needed medicines were received. Next my visit happened after 3 months when I came to finish treatment and put crowns on implants. I came for 7 full days, hotel in the price quote was for 5 days, so I covered it additionally. As well here I do recommend to plan 7 days instead of 5 and if you have even possibility to plan some days more, do it as you will be able to check if all the crowns fit well and you are comfortable. I'm happy with the color chosen of crowns and all the process It is already 2 months over after the work was done, at this time everything is good and I enjoy my new smile. Thank you! Svetlana Sacuka

Andy H2024-03-22Last summer, in desperate need of a new smile, I decided to investigate dental tourism. Having heard a few horror stories about Turkey teeth I did a bit of research and came across the Dentares Smile website. It appeared to be well laid out informative and very professional with a clear pricing structure, so I decided to get in contact with the clinic. The first person I spoke with was Melody in sales. She had a relaxed easy charm about her and after several WhatsApp video calls I was sold. I was then sent over a draft treatment plan and after confirming my flights my first visit to Antalya was arranged for September. Upon my arrival in Antalya on 6 Sep I was picked up from the airport by Dentares’ driver and taken to the hotel included in the cost of my treatment. The standard of accommodation was excellent. The next day I was picked up in the morning and driven to clinic where I was warmly greeted by one of the lovely young receptionists. After a friendly chat with the head honcho Dt. Öyküm Dilek to firm up my treatment plan, I was introduced to the lovely Seçil the practice manager who took the payment for my first round of treatment then introduced me to Svetlana, Dentares’ patient relations 😎 representative who informed me that treatment would begin on Saturday afternoon. It was then back to my hotel to relax and enjoy their pool and the wonderful weather for a couple of days. On Saturday, I was driven to the clinic to have the Straumann implants put in. The most painful part of the procedure for me were the injections. The implantation process itself was uncomfortable rather than painful. Unfortunately, Dt. Özkan my implantologist determined that my bone structure wasn’t strong enough (most likely due to my age) for immediate loading of crowns onto the implants and I would have to wait another 3-6 months for my bone to ossify around the implants before this could take place. So, after sunning myself for a few more days it was back to the UK to eat lots of ice cream and gurn at my friends and family over the festive season. I arrived in Antalya for my second round of treatment on Sunday 3 March. On Monday morning it was time to meet Dt. Özkan again to surgically expose the implants. Again, the most painful part of the process were the injections. In the afternoon it time for my first appointment with Dt. Seçil Azizoğlu the aesthetic dentist. After another round of painful injections my remaining lower teeth were ground down to accept the veneers that were to be placed on them. This was where we ran into the only significant issue during my entire time with Dentares. After my lower teeth had been worked on the bleeding from my gums just wouldn’t clot, again probably due to my age, and my blood pressure being higher than normal after a couple of hours in the chair. After waiting an hour or so for the bleeding to stop it was decided that it would be for the best to continue my treatment on Wednesday. On Wednesday impressions were taken, and after discussing the choices for colour and shape of my new teeth with Svetlana and Dt. Seçil, they were sent off to the Dentares’ lab to make the zirconia implant crowns and veneers. On Thursday it was time for my first fitting. After my new teeth were worked on in situ by Dt. Seçil for a couple of hours (the lady is a perfectionist) they were taken out again and shipped back to the lab for minor adjustments and polishing. On Friday it was time for my second and final fitting. In they went and after another hour or so of checking, grinding, and further checking by the awesome Dt. Azizoğlu it was time to look in the mirror. Wow, just wow. Carey Grant, eat your heart out 😁 On Saturday, after one last visit to the clinic to sign paperwork and say my goodbyes I was driven to the airport by my friendly chauffeur Ziya to fly back to the UK for a new and better life. So, would I recommend Dentares Smile Clinic? 100% Thank you so very much, folks 🙏 Hope to see you all again one day 🖖🙂
Devlet Butaev2024-03-08После переезда я искал ортодонта, который бы продолжил начатое в России лечение. Очень рад, что нашел эту клинику. Врач очень вдумчивый и нашел оптимальное решение, что было непросто, пришлось креативить:) в итоге успешно закончил лечение. Друзьям рекомендую эту клинику и по другим вопросам с зубами, очень удобно, что можно всё обсудить на ресепшен со Светланой на русском. Все друзья тоже остались довольны. Поэтому рекомендую от души:)

Dentares Smile Clinic offers modern composite fillings that are cost effective and aesthetic. It is the primary concern of patients to ensure that their smile isn’t impacted by unsightly metal fillings. Amalgam is a traditional metal restoration technique for fillings and inlays/onlays. Due to modern materials and techniques, amalgam is a thing of the past. Our composite filling material is coloured to match the natural tooth colour. It’s important to integrate restorations in the most natural way at Dentares. As opposed to other restoration methods, composite materials can be applied for immediate results.
Dental fillings in Turkey combine a resin with glass powder to produce a long-lasting durable filling to protect the natural tooth from decay. Bacteria and food particles can penetrate the tooth’s enamel and over time invade the dentin and pulp of the tooth slowly compromising the integrity of the tooth. This can be incredibly painful depending on the advancement of decay. So, the dentist removes infected tissue and replaces it with an aesthetic composite resin. Dental fillings are generally used on small areas of decay. If a patient presents with advanced decay, then an inlay, onlay or dental crown may be a more appropriate treatment.
Fillings are durable enough to be appropriate for anterior and posterior (front & back) teeth. However, greater attention is given to the anterior region to ensure that the colour and shape matches to the naturality of the treated tooth. Composite resins have a porosity of 1-2% which means they are not immune to discolouration over time. For this reason, anterior fillings may need to be replaced more frequently than posterior fillings. If there are multiple affected areas or the decay is large, then a dental crown or veneer may be more appropriate for aesthetic reasons.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Dental Implants in Turkey
Who is suitable for Dental Filling?
Patients with decay in small areas above the gingiva (gum) line are suitable for dental filling treatment. Dentin is the tooth pulp under the enamel layer and surrounding the tooth nerve canal. Pain is experienced when decay affects the enamel and dentin of the tooth. Once the decay has reached the nerve canal, doctors can suggest having a root treatment firstly to stop sensitivity before covering with a filling. A root treated tooth can change colour over time and the integrity is compromised. So in these conditions, a dental crown is a more appropriate treatment.
Dental fillings are an appropriate treatment for children and adults. All dentists can apply a dental filling but for a more appropriate service, caries treatment can be completed by a paediatric dentist (doctor specialising in children’s oral treatments).
How is Dental Filling in Turkey performed?
Dental fillings in Turkey are easily treated within one appointment. Local anaesthesia is applied to keep the patient relaxed and pain-free during dental filling treatment. Barrier materials are placed over the neighbouring teeth to avoid approximal collateral damage. The dentist uses specialised burs to remove decayed enamel and dentin.
Composite resin is mixed with ceramic or glass dust to provide durability and applied to the treatment area in small amounts. Each small amount is pressed into place and smoothed over to remove air pockets then cured by an ultraviolet light. Curing hardens the resin and happens within a few seconds so applying filling material can be completed within a few minutes. The final layer is textured to resemble a natural tooth. Articulating paper strips are used to highlight high contact areas in the functionality of the built up composite filling. Higher areas will disrupt the functionality so the dentist can reduce the size until perfect functionality is achieved.
Dental Filling Types
There are 4 types of materials used to create dental fillings. These are as follows:
- Amalgam – is a silver alloy that includes zinc, mercury and other metals and is the traditional filling material before resins and composite materials were introduced to dentistry. Despite attention to the mercury in amalgam material, it was ruled safe to use. However, it does provide an obvious unsightly aesthetic.
- Composite – is a colour-matching resin material that is easily moldable and hardened by light curing. Composite resin is the most common filling material in dental fillings used today. The life time is between 5 and 10 years.
- Ceramic – porcelain material is durable and cosmetic in application but is not cost-effective.
- Glass ionomer – fillings are a combination of glass and acrylic plastic usually used in paediatric treatments. These release fluoride into the tooth believed to protect the patient from further decay.
What is better: a dental filling or a crown?
The appropriate treatment for a cavity depends on the degree of compromised integrity to the tooth. If a tooth has multiple cavities or a cavity reaches the inner root nerve canal, then a crown would be appropriate. In terms of aesthetic, a dental crown has higher quality durability and aesthetic than a filling. However, there is more tooth preparation required for crown treatment. So the patient should weigh these risks first.
How long does a filling last?
Dentares Smile Clinic in Turkey uses glass infused composite fillings for added aesthetic and durability that can last between 5-10 years. Provided the patient adopts frequent oral hygiene techniques and clinic check-ups.
When is the filling changed?
The dental filling can be changed when there is chipping, breakage, pain, or structural damage to the restoration and or tooth. When a dental filling reaches 2 to 3 points of a tooth, the treatment required is then known as a dental inlay/onlay. For more information about inlays/onlays, head to our Dental inlays/onlays page here.
