On this issue, Turkey, which hosts people from all over the world, especially from Europe, is featured with top-qualified service and low costs.

Oral and Dental Health Clinics

Dental health service in Turkey is commonly supported by ‘’Oral and Dental Health’’ clinics (Agiz ve Dis Sagligi in Turkish). You can get an appointment by calling, internet, and personal application.

Oral and dental health is provided to people who have private insurance from contractual public and private hospitals in addition to general health insurance for foreigners who stay in Turkey for more than a year. However, people should certainly pay attention to what their insurances contain exactly while they are making a deal with an insurance company.

Private Clinics
