Best Dental Clinics in Turkey in 2026: Treatments, Technology and Comparison

Updated: September 24, 2026

Turkey remains one of the popular destinations for dental tourism, especially for implants, veneers, crowns and full dental rehabilitation.

But clinics can differ significantly in the format of work, team composition, available procedures, diagnostics, technologies and support of international patients.

Short answer: there is no universally "best" dental clinic. The choice depends on the specific case, the condition of the teeth and gums, the amount of bone tissue, the treatment required and whether additional procedures are required, such as bone grafting or sinus lifting.

In this article, Medikout compares five dental providers in Turkey:

Acıbadem, Medicana, Este in Turkey, DentSpa and Elit Istanbul Dental.

This is not a rating of clinics. We compare the available information on treatment areas, technologies and work format so that it is easier for the patient to understand the difference between the options.

A brief comparison

How we compared clinics

For this material, we took into account:

• confirmed dental directions;
• implantation and complete rehabilitation of the dentition;
• availability of surgical stomatology;
• bone plastic and sinus lifting;
• orthopedic and aesthetic dentistry;
• digital diagnostics and planning;
• information about doctors and the dental team;
• work with international patients.

We checked information about specific clinics first of all on their official resources. Medical explanations are supplemented by scientific sources.

Location: Istanbul

Format: dentistry and medical tourism

Este in Turkey works with international patients and has a separate dental department.

Among the available procedures:

• dental implantation;
• veneers;
• crowns;
• complete rehabilitation of the dentition;
• All-on-4;
• All-on-6;
• professional whitening;
• aligners;
• aesthetic dentistry;
• Digital Smile Design.

Features Este in Turkey

This format is more focused on patients who come for treatment from other countries.

Therefore, in addition to the dental part, the organization of the process plays an important role:

• remote primary assessment;
• communication with the patient before the trip;
• planning visits;
• support during treatment;
• aftercare after returning home.

For implantation, it is especially important to clarify in advance how many stages of treatment are necessary. Permanent orthotic construction after implant placement cannot always be completed in one short visit.

Location: Istanbul

Format: specialized dental clinic

DentSpa focuses directly on dental treatment and combines implantology, restorative and aesthetic dentistry.

Among the directions of the clinic:

• dental implants;
• All-on-4;
• complete rehabilitation;
• crowns;
• veneers;
• aesthetic dentistry;
• orthodontics;
• endodontics

Digital dentistry

One of the notable features of DentSpa is its emphasis on the digital process of manufacturing restorations.

In working with crowns, the clinic describes the use of digital scanning and CAD/CAM technologies, and among the materials used are E-max, zirconium and other ceramic restorations.

Such a digital workflow allows you to obtain a digital model of the teeth and plan the shape of the future restoration even before its manufacture.

Features DentSpa

DentSpa may be of interest to patients considering:

• implantation;
• All-on-4/6;
• E-max;
• zirconium restorations;
• complex aesthetic rehabilitation of a smile.

Location: Istanbul and other cities of Turkey

Format: a large multidisciplinary medical network

Acıbadem has a separate direction Oral and Dental Health, which works with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the teeth, gums, oral cavity and jaws.

On the official page of Acıbadem, the following dental directions are indicated:

• oral and maxillofacial surgery;
• implantology;
• endodontics;
• aesthetic dentistry;
• orthodontics;
• periodontology;
• prosthetics;
• children's dentistry.

Porcelain and laminate restorations are also available, and zirconium is used for bridges and veneers. (Acıbadem Sağlık Grubu)

Features Acıbadem

The main difference Acıbadem is dentistry works within a large medical system.

This may be important for patients who need:

• complex surgical procedures;
• treatment under general anesthesia;
• several dental specialists;
• treatment against the background of other diseases;
• comprehensive diagnostics.

The official website of Acıbadem also states that if necessary, dental surgical procedures can be performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. (Acıbadem Sağlık Grubu)

Location: Istanbul and other cities of Turkey

Format: multidisciplinary network of hospitals

Medicana also has a separate direction Oral and Dental Health.

Dental offices operate in various network locations, including Medicana International Beylikdüzü, Bahçelievler, Kadıköy, Ataşehir, Ataköy, Zincirlikuyu, International İzmir and others. (Medicana)

Medicana dental offices are staffed by dentists, dental technicians, prosthodontists, radiologists and other medical personnel. (Medicana)

What areas are represented

Medicana works with a variety of dental concerns including:

• implantology;
• endodontics;
• orthopedic dentistry;
• aesthetic dentistry;
• gum treatment;
• surgical procedures;
• prosthetics

The composition of the team depends on the specific Medicana location, so before treatment it is important to clarify not only the name of the network, but also the specific hospital and doctor. (Medicana)

Features Medicana

Medicana can be a convenient option for patients who need more than just aesthetic treatment, but a comprehensive approach within a large medical structure.

Location: Istanbul

Format: specialized dental clinic

Elit Istanbul Dental operates as a dental clinic and offers both restorative and aesthetic treatment.

The main directions include:

• dental implants;
• zirconium crowns;
• porcelain restorations;
• veneers;
• whitening;
• canal treatment;
• surgical dentistry;
• aesthetic rehabilitation.

On the official website, the clinic separately describes the use of implants to replace missing teeth with the subsequent installation of an orthopedic structure.

Features Elit Istanbul Dental

Unlike Acıbadem or Medicana, this is not a large general medical network, but a specialized dental clinic.

This format may be convenient for patients seeking treatment specifically focused on:

• implantation;
• crowns;
• veneers;
• aesthetic dentistry;
• restoring smiles.

The name of the clinic in itself does not determine how suitable it is for a particular patient.

Before starting treatment, you should clarify:

• who exactly will conduct the procedure;
• what is the doctor's specialty;
• what is the diagnosis;
• what treatment alternatives exist;
• what material will be used;
• which brand of implants is used;
• whether additional surgery is required;
• how many visits will be required;
• what postoperative support is provided.

For implantation

Before installing implants, you need to evaluate:

• volume and quality of bone tissue;
• gum condition;
• location of anatomical structures;
• bite;
• general medical history.

CBCT can be used for three-dimensional planning in implantology. Systematic reviews show that modern low-dose CBCT protocols can provide sufficient measurement accuracy for implant planning if the protocol is properly selected for the clinical task. (PubMed)

For veneers and crowns

First, you need to determine whether the patient needs a veneer or a crown.

In some cases, an alternative may be:

• composite bonding;
• orthodontic treatment;
• whitening;
• another type of restoration.

The choice also depends on the condition of the enamel, bite, gums and the presence of bruxism.

A 2025 scientific systematic review showed high long-term survival rates for ceramic veneers, particularly lithium disilicate, although results depend on the material, clinical situation, and treatment protocol. (PubMed)

It is worth checking the clinic more carefully if it:

• guarantees an ideal result for all patients;
• recommends complex treatment only by photo;
• does not name the doctor;
• does not ask about medical history;
• does not explain alternatives;
• recommends tooth extraction without justification;
• does not specify the material of restorations;
• does not name the brand of implants;
• does not provide a written treatment plan;
• does not explain possible risks and additional procedures.

Medikout is not a clinic. The platform helps to find relevant treatment options depending on the specific case.

The following may be considered for selection:

• the patient's problem;
• the number of missing or damaged teeth;
• the need for implantation;
• the need for veneers or crowns;
• available x-rays or CBCT;
• desired direction of treatment;
• budget;
• terms

Take the Medikout quiz, describe your case and get options for clinics that fit your needs.

Do all the clinics in this material really have a dental direction?

Yes. Acıbadem has a separate Oral and Dental Health division, and Medicana has a network of dental departments in its hospitals. (Acıbadem Sağlık Grubu)

Este in Turkey, DentSpa and Elit Istanbul Dental work with dental procedures as a separate area.

Which clinic is the best?

There is no universal answer. Some criteria may be important for a complex surgical case, others for veneers, and bone condition, surgeon's specialization and orthopedic plan for full implantation.

Is it possible to choose a clinic based only on a photo of the teeth?

Photo can help at the initial stage, but it is often not enough for complex treatment. Implantation may require an X-ray or CBCT to assess bone tissue and anatomy. (PubMed)

What is better — a large medical network or an individual dental clinic?

Neither format is automatically better. Large medical networks can be convenient for complex cases and multidisciplinary treatment. Specialized dental clinics may be more focused on specific dental procedures.
