About us
Practical guides for people thinking about dental treatment in Turkey, written in plain English.
What this site is
Turkey Dental Tourism publishes guides for people outside Turkey who are considering dental treatment there, most often visitors from the UK, Ireland, the rest of Europe and the United States. We explain how common treatments work, how to compare clinics and quotes, how to plan the trip and how to look after your teeth once you are home.
What this site is not
We are not a dental clinic. We do not examine patients, provide treatment, take bookings or handle payments, and nothing on this site is a personal treatment plan. Only a dentist who has examined you and seen your X-rays can tell you which treatment is right for you.
The clinic we recommend
Our editors recommend one clinic: VDC Dental Clinic in Antalya. Some guides mention it by name, and a single link to its website appears at the bottom of every page. You do not need to use it to get value from our guides. The questions in our guide to choosing a dental clinic in Turkey apply to any clinic you are considering.
Who writes the guides
The guides are written and kept up to date by the Turkey Dental Tourism Editorial Team. How we research, write and update them is set out in our editorial policy.
