Dental treatment in Istanbul: the complete visitor's guide

Thinking about getting your dental work done in Istanbul? You are far from alone. Over the past few years, Istanbul has become one of the world's leading destinations for dental care and smile makeovers, drawing thousands of patients every year from Europe, the Gulf, and across the Arab world in search of high quality treatment at fair prices. At Dental Royal Clinic in the historic Fatih district, your treatment is overseen by Dr. Mohamed Ali Atabey and Dr. Bilal Azazy, both with extensive experience in dental implants, zircon crowns, and Hollywood smile makeovers.

Why choose Istanbul for dental treatment

Istanbul brings together three things that rarely come together in one place: clinical quality that matches the best clinics in Europe, doctors with deep experience and international training, and costs that are significantly lower than Europe or the Gulf, often by half or more, without compromising on materials or standards. On top of that, Istanbul is a historic, world-famous city, so your treatment trip doubles as a chance to explore some of the most iconic landmarks on earth.

How to plan your dental trip

The first and most important step is reaching out to us in advance on WhatsApp at +90 538 522 42 59 and sending clear photos of your teeth, along with a panoramic X-ray if you already have one from your current dentist. Our medical team reviews your case remotely and prepares an initial treatment plan outlining the procedures needed, the expected duration, and an estimated cost, all before you book your flight, so you arrive in Istanbul already knowing exactly what to expect.

Treatment duration depends on the procedure. Dental implants usually require two separate visits, spaced a few months apart to allow the bone to heal before the crown is fitted, though in many cases immediate loading is possible in a single visit if your jaw condition allows it. A Hollywood smile is typically completed within 3 to 7 days, while zircon crowns generally take a few days to measure, manufacture, and fit.

Your treatment journey at Dental Royal Clinic, day by day

On your first day, you will come to the clinic for a full clinical examination and any necessary X-rays, and we will review the treatment plan prepared in advance, adjusting it if needed based on the in-person examination. Over the following days, the actual procedures begin, whether that is implant placement, crown fitting, or preparing your Hollywood smile, always with your comfort and proper anaesthesia in mind. Before you leave, we carry out a final check to make sure everything is progressing well, and we give you clear aftercare instructions along with a follow-up appointment if a second visit is required.

Location and getting around

Dental Royal Clinic is located in the heart of historic Fatih, at Akşemsettin Mah. Hüsrevpaşa Sk. Pınar Apt No: 42, Fatih/İstanbul, just a short distance from Istanbul's most famous landmarks, including Sultanahmet and Hagia Sophia. Whether you are staying in Fatih itself or in a hotel near the old city, reaching the clinic is easy by taxi or public transport.

Language support

Our medical and administrative team speaks Arabic, Turkish, and English fluently, so language will never be a barrier during your consultation or treatment. Every step will be explained to you in your own language, so you feel fully informed and at ease.

Transparent pricing

At Dental Royal Clinic, we believe in complete pricing transparency, with no surprises or hidden fees. Dental implants start from $250 per implant, zircon crowns start from $100, root canal treatment starts from $100, and laser fillings start from just $70. You will always receive a detailed price breakdown before treatment begins.

Combine treatment with tourism

Since your stay will likely span several days, why not make the most of your time between appointments? You can walk to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar, or take a relaxing stroll along the Bosphorus. Your treatment trip can easily become an enjoyable holiday as well.

Follow-up after you return home

Our care for you does not end when you leave Istanbul. Our medical team remains available to you on WhatsApp to answer any questions, monitor your recovery, and coordinate any follow-up visit you may need later, such as fitting a final crown onto a healed implant.
