Turkey Teeth – General

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

“Turkey teeth” is an informal term used to describe cosmetic dental treatments performed in Turkey — usually veneers, crowns, or full-mouth smile restorations, sometimes combined with implants. It’s not a medical phrase, but a trend-based expression.
At EU Smiles™, we prioritise natural, face-focused smile design and use minimal-prep techniques whenever suitable, ensuring healthy, long-lasting and aesthetic results.

Yes — when your treatment is performed in a certified Dental Centre that follows strict sterilisation standards, uses advanced imaging, and employs experienced specialists, the process is very safe.
At EU Smiles™, all procedures are carried out in our accredited Dental Centre — a higher level of certification than a standard clinic — and we support you with UK-based consultations and full aftercare to ensure a smooth, safe treatment journey.

The process is straightforward and fully planned in advance:

  • Consultation & scans — either in the UK or remotely.

  • Digital Smile Design — a preview of how your new smile will look.

  • Preparation & temporaries — only if required for your treatment.

  • Laboratory production — custom Emax or zirconia restorations made in our on-site lab.

  • Fitting & bite adjustments — ensuring comfort, function, and a natural-looking result.

Veneers & Crowns:
Most “Turkey teeth” treatments use high-quality dental ceramics such as Emax (lithium disilicate) or zirconia, chosen for their durability, natural translucency, and long-lasting aesthetics.

Implants:
Dental implants are made from medical-grade titanium, which integrates safely with the bone. The visible tooth on top is typically crafted from ceramic or zirconia for a strong and natural-looking finish.

Prices vary depending on your treatment plan, but dental procedures in Turkey are generally 50–70% more affordable than typical European costs.

Here are approximate guide prices:

  • Veneers: £200–£300 per tooth

  • Crowns: £200–£350 per tooth

  • Single implant: £400–£600

  • All-on-4 full arch: from around £3,000

After your assessment, you’ll receive a clear, fixed, and transparent treatment quote tailored to your needs.

  • Major cost advantages compared to most European countries

  • Highly equipped dental centres with skilled cosmetic and implant specialists

  • Faster treatment times thanks to on-site dental laboratories

  • Convenient dental holiday packages, including hotel accommodation and private transfers

Your final smile can be tailored to any style — from natural shades like A1–A2 to brighter Hollywood tones such as BL1–BL2.
We customise every detail, including translucency, surface texture, and tooth shape, ensuring the result matches your facial features, lip line, and skin tone.
You can explore different styles in our Before & After Gallery.

Safety, Materials & Options

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

No — not when they’re planned and carried out correctly. At EU Smiles™, we prioritise minimal-prep or no-prep techniques whenever appropriate, ensuring your natural enamel is preserved as much as possible for a healthy, long-lasting foundation.

  • Emax (lithium disilicate): Used for veneers and crowns, offering natural translucency and highly aesthetic results.

  • Zirconia: Preferred for crowns and bridges when maximum strength, durability and stability are needed.

  • Titanium implants: Medical-grade titanium posts placed in the bone, finished with ceramic or zirconia crowns for a natural-looking tooth replacement.

Emax:
Offers the highest level of natural translucency, making it ideal for veneers and crowns on front teeth where aesthetics matter most.

Zirconia:
Much stronger and highly durable, which makes it the preferred choice for back teeth, bridges, and cases that require extra load-bearing strength.

Composite bonding is a more budget-friendly option, but it can stain more easily, is less durable, and typically needs more frequent maintenance.

Porcelain veneers (Emax), on the other hand, offer longer-lasting results, maintain their shine and shape over time, and require far less upkeep — making them the more durable and aesthetic choice.

Yes — the choice is entirely yours. During Digital Smile Design, we show you Natural, Balanced, and Hollywood-style options. From there, we tailor the shade, shape, and brightness to complement your lower teeth, facial features, and skin tone for a harmonious final result.

Process & Timing

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Veneers & crowns:
Most patients complete their smile makeover within 5–7 days.

Implants:
The surgical visit usually takes just a few days. After healing (typically 3–6 months), you return for your final teeth to be fitted.

  • For implants and All-on-4/6 treatments, two visits are usually required — the first for surgery, and the second after the healing period for the final teeth.
    For veneers and crowns, one trip is typically enough.

Absolutely — many patients choose to travel with a partner, friend, or family member, and they’re more than welcome to join you throughout your stay.

Comfort, Anxiety & Sedation

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Absolutely. We take extra care with anxious patients by offering extended, unhurried appointments, clear pause signals, gentle numbing gels, calming headphones, and reassuring step-by-step guidance throughout your treatment.

  • Yes. When clinically appropriate, we can provide oral or IV sedation. Before recommending any method, we carefully review your medical history to ensure the safest and most comfortable option for your treatment.

Your comfort is our priority. We use strong topical gels followed by modern local anaesthesia, and we only begin treatment once you confirm that the area feels fully numb.

Aftercare, Longevity & Guarantees

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

With proper care, veneers and crowns can last 15 years or even longer. To maximise their lifespan, avoid biting hard objects and consider using a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth at night.

  • Dental implants can last 30 years or more when supported by healthy gums, good oral hygiene, and regular dental check-ups. Proper maintenance is key to ensuring they remain stable and functional long term.

Our Dental Centre warranty fully covers your treatment (the detailed terms will be included in your personalised quote). You’ll also receive ongoing aftercare support from the EU Smiles team while you’re back in Europe.

Suitability & Medical

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Yes—veneers are ideal for improving chips, gaps, worn edges, uneven shapes, mild crowding, and discolouration. At EU Smiles, we always prioritise minimal-prep or no-prep veneers whenever your enamel thickness and bite alignment allow, keeping your natural teeth as healthy and untouched as possible.

  • You can still be a suitable candidate. At EU Smiles, we design your veneers, crowns, or implants with reinforced strength if you grind or clench. After treatment, we also provide a custom nightguard to protect your new smile long-term.

Yes. At EU Smiles, gum health always comes first. If any signs of gum disease are present, we complete the necessary periodontal treatments before starting cosmetic or restorative procedures to ensure long-lasting, safe results.

  • No, We do not.
