The Dental Treatment Process in Turkey: Step by Step

One of the most common concerns for patients considering dental treatment in Turkey is not knowing what to expect. From first contact to final result, the journey involves multiple steps — but with the right clinic, the entire process is smooth, well-organised, and fully supported. Here is the complete step-by-step guide to dental treatment at TakiDent in Antalya.

Step 1: Online Consultation (Before You Travel)

Your journey begins from home. Contact TakiDent via the online form, WhatsApp (+90 501 519 5040), or email to request a free consultation. You will be asked to:

• Describe your dental concerns and goals
• Submit recent photographs of your teeth (front smile, side profile, close-up)
• Send any existing dental X-rays or OPG scans if available

Within 24 hours, a patient coordinator and dentist will review your case and provide an initial assessment including a cost indication and recommended treatment plan.

Step 2: Free X-Ray Review and Treatment Plan

Based on your photographs and any existing scans, TakiDent prepares a written treatment plan with itemised costings. This is completely free and carries no obligation. If you need a new OPG panoramic X-ray or 3D CBCT scan (required for implant planning), this will be performed free of charge on your arrival day in Antalya.

Step 3: Confirming and Booking

Once you are happy with the treatment plan, your patient coordinator helps you finalise dates, suggests accommodation options near the clinic, and coordinates your arrival transfer from Antalya Airport. No deposit is required for standard consultations — payment is made in Antalya after your arrival assessment confirms the plan.

Step 4: Travel to Antalya

Direct flights to Antalya International Airport operate from 30+ European cities, including major UK, German, Dutch, and Scandinavian airports. TakiDent's clinic is just 8–10 minutes from the airport terminal — one of the most convenient clinic locations in Turkey. Detailed travel guidance is provided by your coordinator in advance.

Step 5: Arrival Transfer

TakiDent provides free airport transfer for qualifying treatment packages. A driver meets you at arrivals holding a TakiDent sign and takes you directly to your hotel or clinic. No need to navigate taxis or public transport after a long flight.

Step 6: Day 1 — Clinical Examination and Diagnostics

Your first clinical day begins with a comprehensive examination including digital X-rays or CBCT scan (3D), intra-oral photographs, and a detailed discussion with your treating dentist. The Digital Smile Design preview (for veneer and smile makeover patients) is also created on this day. The final treatment plan and exact costs are confirmed before any procedures begin.

Step 7: Treatment Sessions

Treatment is scheduled across your stay to make maximum efficient use of your time in Antalya. A typical schedule:

• Veneers (10 teeth): Day 1 preparation and temporaries, Day 3–4 fitting of final veneers
• Single implant: Day 1 placement surgery, follow-up X-ray before departure
• All-on-4: Day 1 surgery and immediate provisional teeth, Day 4–5 check-up and final adjustments
• Full smile makeover: Multiple sessions spread across 5–10 days depending on complexity

Between sessions you are free to rest at your hotel, explore Antalya, or enjoy the beach. Your coordinator is available by WhatsApp throughout.

Step 8: Follow-Up Before Departure

Before you fly home, a final clinical check is performed to confirm fit, bite, and aesthetics. Any minor adjustments are made. You receive a complete written care plan, prescription if needed, and all clinical records in digital format.

Step 9: Remote Aftercare

Treatment does not end when you leave Antalya. TakiDent provides ongoing remote aftercare via WhatsApp and video consultation. For implant patients, a follow-up review at 3 months and 6 months is recommended — this can be done remotely using photos and X-rays from your local dentist, which TakiDent reviews and responds to free of charge.
