Over the last decade, Turkey has become one of the world’s most popular destinations for cosmetic dentistry — often called the “Turkey teeth” phenomenon. But why exactly are so many people from the UK choosing Turkey for their smile makeovers?
This article breaks down the key reasons behind the rise of dental tourism in Turkey — from affordability and quality to modern clinics, experienced dentists, and all-inclusive treatment packages.
If you’re considering veneers, crowns, or dental implants abroad, here’s everything you need to know about why patients choose Turkey — and Agagsia Dental.
Why Turkey Is So Popular for Dental Work
The primary reason UK patients travel to Turkey is simple: affordable, high-quality dental treatment.
At Agagsia Dental, the same premium veneers or dental implants that could cost up to £1,000 per tooth in the UK are available from just £250 — using the same European-standard materials.
But price isn’t the only factor. Turkey offers:
- Shorter waiting times
- Complete smile makeovers in under a week
- All-inclusive packages including accommodation and transfers
For many, that means a dream holiday and a new smile in one trip.
Is It Just About the Price?
No — it’s also about technology and expertise.
Modern Turkish clinics like Agagsia Dental invest in the latest dental innovations:
- CAD/CAM design systems for digital precision
- 3D scanning and digital smile design
- Premium E-max and zirconia materials for natural results
Patients often find the technical quality and attention to detail to be equal or superior to private practices in London or Manchester.
How Good Is the Quality in Turkish Dental Clinics?
The quality of dental care in Turkey may surprise you. Top clinics like Agagsia Dental meet international standards, operate under ISO-certified hygiene protocols, and use state-of-the-art technology.
Our clinic is equipped with:
- Digital X-rays and 3D smile design systems
- In-house dental laboratory for faster, precise restorations
- Highly trained aesthetic dentists who design each smile individually
Each restoration is custom-made to match your face, skin tone, and personality — ensuring a natural, confident smile.
Are Turkish Dentists Properly Qualified?
Absolutely. Turkish dentists are among the most highly trained professionals in Europe.
To qualify, they must:
- Complete a five-year dental degree at leading universities such as Istanbul or Hacettepe University
- Gain years of hands-on clinical experience
- Undertake continuous professional education accredited by the Turkish Dental Association
At Agagsia Dental, every dentist is fully licensed, English-speaking, and specialised in cosmetic and restorative dentistry.
Our team combines artistry and precision — blending science, aesthetics, and digital technology to create smiles that last.
Hygiene and Safety Standards
One of the biggest concerns UK patients have when going abroad for treatment is hygiene.
At Agagsia Dental, we maintain the same safety and sterilisation standards you’d expect in the UK, following World Health Organization (WHO) and EU guidelines.
Our strict infection-control measures include:
- Single-use PPE and disposable tools for every patient
- Hospital-grade autoclave sterilisation between procedures
- Daily deep cleaning and air purification
- Regular clinic audits to ensure compliance
Your comfort and safety are always our top priority.
Do You Really “Get What You Pay For”
Yes — and sometimes even more.
The savings come not from lower quality, but from economic advantages in Turkey, including:
- Lower operational and staff costs
- Direct access to dental material manufacturers
- Government support for medical tourism
- Streamlined workflows with in-house labs
At Agagsia Dental, you’ll receive premium materials, a personalised treatment plan, and transparent pricing — all backed by international quality standards.
