How much do dental treatments cost in Turkey?

Turkey is typically 50–70% cheaper than the UK, US or Western Europe. For example, a zirconium crown costs around £120–180 in Istanbul versus £500–900 in the UK, and a single dental implant around £350–600 versus £2,000–3,500 — without compromising on materials or expertise.

Why is dental treatment in Turkey so much cheaper?

Lower operating costs, favourable currency and strong competition — not lower standards. Leading Istanbul clinics use the same premium implant brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare), CAD/CAM technology and in-house labs as Western clinics.

Is it safe to get dental work done in Turkey?

Yes, when you choose an accredited clinic with qualified dentists, certified materials and a clear guarantee. EsteGo follows international hygiene and quality standards and provides documented treatment planning on prosthetics and implants.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for dental treatment?

Veneers and crowns usually take 5–7 days. Implants are done in two stages: a 3–5 day first visit for placement, then a short second visit 3–4 months later for the permanent teeth. Whitening or simple fillings can be completed in a single day.

Which is better, veneers or crowns?

Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth for cosmetic improvement with minimal preparation. Crowns cover the whole tooth and are used when more strength or coverage is needed. Your dentist recommends the right option after assessment.

What is a Hollywood Smile?

A Hollywood Smile is a complete smile makeover, usually combining veneers or crowns, gum contouring and whitening to create a bright, symmetrical, natural-looking smile tailored to your face.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacement after 10–15 years of normal wear.

Do dental implants hurt?

No. Implant placement is performed under local anaesthesia and is painless. Mild swelling or tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal and managed with simple painkillers.

What materials do you use for crowns and veneers?

We use premium zirconium, E-max (lithium disilicate) and porcelain laminate veneers produced in a modern dental lab for natural translucency, strength and longevity.

Is there a guarantee on dental treatment?

Yes. EsteGo provides documented treatment planning on implants and prosthetics, backed by certified materials and experienced specialists.

Can I combine dental treatment with a holiday?

Absolutely. Istanbul is a world-class destination and our all-inclusive packages include hotel and VIP transfers, so you can recover comfortably and enjoy the city between appointments.

What is the All-on-4 technique?

All-on-4 replaces a full arch of missing teeth on just four implants, giving fixed, natural-looking teeth — often in a much shorter timeframe than traditional implant methods.

How do I know which treatment I need?

Send us photos for a free online assessment, or book a consultation. Our dentists evaluate your teeth, gums and goals, then prepare a personalised treatment and pricing plan.

Does Turkey use the same implant brands as the UK?

Yes. Reputable Istanbul clinics use globally certified brands such as Straumann, Nobel Biocare and MegaGen — the same systems used worldwide.

Rhinoplasty

Aesthetic and functional nose reshaping.

💬 WhatsApp All Treatments

A rhinoplasty reshapes the nose while preserving breathing – the final result appears only after up to a year.

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose harmoniously and can correct breathing problems — one of the most requested procedures.

Open or closed

Both techniques depending on the case. After previous surgery, see revision rhinoplasty.

Natural profile

Planned around your facial proportions.

Form and function belong together

A rhinoplasty changes the shape of the nose – hump, tip, width or length. A good rhinoplasty always considers function too: the nose must remain freely breathable. Operating on aesthetics alone can impair breathing, so a functional correction (e.g. of the septum) is often planned alongside.

Open and closed technique

In the closed technique the incisions are inside the nose (no visible scar); in the open technique a small incision on the columella allows better visibility for complex cases. Which technique suits depends on the findings, not on a trend – an experienced surgeon explains the choice.

Realistic expectations: the revision rate

The nose is one of the most demanding regions. Even in good hands the revision rate is about 3% after a first operation – and considerably higher (around 11%) after a second. The final result appears only after up to a year or longer, because the swelling settles slowly, especially at the tip.

Healing

A splint is worn for about a week; bruising around the eyes and swelling settle over 1–2 weeks, the fine swelling over months. Sport, glasses resting on the bridge and strong sun are avoided for a time. See revision rhinoplasty and cosmetic surgery in Turkey.

Even in good hands the revision rate is about 3% (first operation), around 11% after a second – “perfect” promises are unrealistic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a rhinoplasty do?

It changes the shape of the nose – hump, tip, width or length – while considering function so the nose stays freely breathable. A functional correction of the septum is often planned alongside.

How often is a second operation needed?

The nose is demanding: even in good hands the revision rate is about 3% after a first operation and around 11% after a second. The final result appears only after up to a year.

When will I see the final result?

Only after up to a year or longer, because swelling settles slowly, especially at the tip. A splint is worn for about a week, bruising settles over 1–2 weeks.

What rhinoplasty can and cannot change

Rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage framework of the nose. It is planned around facial proportions and, where relevant, around how well you breathe.

A surgical plan begins with what bothers you: a dorsal hump, a drooping or wide tip, asymmetry, or difficulty breathing through one side. Photographs, a physical examination of the septum and internal valves, and in some cases imaging are used to decide what is technically achievable.

Skin thickness sets real limits. Thick skin hides fine definition and tends to swell longer; thin skin shows every small irregularity. A realistic plan works with the anatomy you have rather than copying another person's nose.

Techniques your surgeon may discuss

Open rhinoplasty

A small incision across the columella gives direct access to tip structures. Preferred for complex tip work and revisions; leaves a fine scar that usually fades.

Closed rhinoplasty

All incisions are inside the nostrils. Suited to selected cases with limited tip work; no external scar.

Preservation rhinoplasty

The natural dorsal line is lowered rather than removed and rebuilt. Not suitable for every hump shape.

Septorhinoplasty

Combines shape correction with septal surgery when a deviated septum restricts airflow.

Revision rhinoplasty

Second or later operations on scarred tissue, often requiring cartilage grafts from the septum, ear or rib. More demanding and less predictable than a first operation.

Non-surgical shaping

Injectable filler can camouflage small contour irregularities. It adds volume, cannot reduce a nose, is temporary, and carries vascular risks that require an experienced injector.

The process step by step

1. Consultation

Examination, photographs and discussion of what you want changed. Breathing is assessed separately from appearance.

2. Pre-operative checks

Blood tests and anaesthetic assessment. Blood thinners, some supplements and smoking are stopped in advance on medical advice.

3. Surgery

Performed under general anaesthesia in a hospital or licensed surgical facility.

4. First week

A splint and possibly internal silicone sheets are worn. Swelling and bruising around the eyes peak in the first days.

5. Splint removal

Usually around one week, decided by the surgeon. The nose looks swollen at this stage; this is expected.

6. Follow-up

Reviews over the following months. Fine definition continues to appear gradually, especially at the tip.

Recovery: a realistic timeline

Most visible bruising settles within two weeks, and many people return to desk work after ten to fourteen days. Contact sports, heavy lifting and anything that risks a blow to the nose are avoided for several weeks, as advised by the surgeon.

Swelling resolves slowly. The general shape becomes clear over the first months, while the final refinement of the tip can take a year or longer, particularly with thick skin or after revision surgery. Patience is part of the treatment.

Risks and limitations

Rhinoplasty is surgery and carries risks: bleeding, infection, reaction to anaesthesia, prolonged swelling, numbness, asymmetry, breathing changes and visible or palpable irregularities. A proportion of patients worldwide need a revision procedure.

No surgeon can guarantee a specific result. Ask your surgeon to explain the expected outcome, the known risks and what a revision would involve before you consent, and make sure you receive this in writing in a language you understand.

If you are travelling from abroad

Plan the stay around the follow-up

Splint removal and the first review happen in the days after surgery. Build your travel dates around them rather than the operation alone.

Flying

Air travel is normally postponed until the surgeon confirms it is safe. Do not book a tight return.

Aftercare at home

Agree in advance how follow-up will continue remotely and who you contact if a problem appears after you return.

Documents

Ask for your operative note and discharge instructions in writing; a doctor in your own country may need them.

Frequently asked questions

Is rhinoplasty painful?

The operation is done under general anaesthesia. Afterwards most people describe pressure and congestion rather than sharp pain, controlled with prescribed medication.

Will there be a visible scar?

In closed rhinoplasty there is no external scar. In open rhinoplasty a small scar on the columella usually becomes difficult to see over time.

Can rhinoplasty improve my breathing?

When airflow is limited by a deviated septum or a collapsed internal valve, these can be corrected in the same operation. Breathing problems caused by allergy are treated medically, not surgically.

How long before I can fly home?

Your surgeon decides based on your recovery. Plan for a stay of several days after surgery rather than leaving immediately.
