For patients travelling to Istanbul

One dentist.Yours, from start to finish.

MSG Dent is not a clinic with a coordinator, a sales team and whichever dentist is free on the day. It is one dentist in Mecidiyeköy, Istanbul, who plans your treatment, does it himself, and is still the person answering when you are back home.

We do not publish a price list, because a price list for teeth is a guess about a mouth nobody has looked at. Send us what your teeth actually look like and you will get the opposite: an itemised plan, the materials named, the number of days, and the price for your case.

Your details go into a WhatsApp message. Attach the three photographs in the chat — they go straight to the dentist, not to a call centre.

Before you book a flight

Fifteen minutes with the dentist, on video, in your timezone.

Not with an advisor. With the person who will be holding the instruments. Ask the awkward questions — how much tooth comes off, what happens if it fails, why this and not that. It costs nothing and most people book flights afterwards, not before.

The honest part

You have read the “Turkey teeth” stories.
Here is what actually goes wrong.

Almost every one of those cases shares a single cause: healthy teeth ground down to pegs for crowns, when veneers — or nothing at all — would have been the right answer. It happens in high-volume clinics working to a package price, where the fastest treatment is the most profitable one and nobody sees you twice.

That is a business model, not a country. And it is the opposite of how this practice is built.

  • 01
    The least the case allows.If a veneer will do it, you do not get a crown. If whitening and two composites will do it, you do not get ten veneers. We will talk you out of work you have come here to buy — and we will lose the booking sometimes.
  • 02
    You see your own prepared teeth.Photographs of the preparation, before anything is fitted over it. If a clinic will not show you that, there is a reason.
  • 03
    The same face, every appointment.One dentist means the plan cannot get lost between people. It also means we cannot take twelve patients a day, which is precisely the point.
  • 04
    One dentist is not the same as alone.Complex surgery, orthodontics and gum treatment are planned together with the relevant specialist, and our aesthetic work goes to the same dental technician every time — which is why the shade matches from one visit to the next. What does not change is who is responsible for the whole thing.
  • 05
    No pressure in the chair.Nobody upgrades your plan on day two. What was written is what happens; if anything must change, you hear the reason and the price before it does.

Step two · the calendar

How many days
do I actually need?

The most common question, and the one most clinics answer with whatever number sounds convenient. Here are the real schedules — including the trips that need two visits, which is the answer nobody wants to give.

Total stay5–6 days
TravelOne trip
What it coversPorcelain laminate veneers, full smile design
  1. Day 1

    Examination, X-rays, photographs

    We agree the shape, length and shade of your teeth together. Nothing is prepared before you have seen and approved the plan.

  2. Day 2

    Preparation and digital scan

    Teeth are prepared conservatively and temporaries are fitted the same day. You leave with teeth, never without.

  3. Day 3

    Rest day

    Your temporaries are the rehearsal. Live with them, eat with them, photograph them — then tell us what to change.

    Yours
  4. Day 4

    Try-in

    The finished veneers are tried in unglazed. Shade, length and midline are checked in daylight, with your face, not on a model.

  5. Day 5

    Bonding

    Final bonding and bite adjustment. Photographs and written aftercare in English.

  6. Day 6

    Check and fly home

    A short morning check. You are free to fly the same day.

These are the schedules we actually run, not the shortest ones possible. Your own plan may be a day shorter or longer — it is written out before you book a flight.

What goes in your mouth

Cheap work is cheap
because of what is inside it.

The country a crown was made in tells you nothing. The block it was milled from, the system the implant belongs to and how much tooth was removed to fit it tell you everything — so those are the things we put in writing.

What goes in your mouth

These are the systems we work with.

Not a wall of logos — the reason each one is here. Your written plan names the exact system used in your case before you fly.

  • Implant systemSwitzerlandOne of the most extensively documented implant systems in the literature. Components are available worldwide, which matters when you fly home.
  • Implant systemSouth KoreaOne of the highest-volume implant systems in the world. A wide range of diameters and lengths makes it easier to choose the size the bone actually allows.
  • Implant systemUSA / South KoreaOsstem’s US arm — same connection geometry, FDA-cleared manufacturing. The surface treatment targets early osseointegration.
  • Implant systemTürkiyeMade in Türkiye. Components and technical support are sourced locally, so replacement parts never involve a wait.
  • Zirconia & ceramicsJapanZirconia and ceramic blocks. Their graded translucency keeps the natural opacity near the gum line, where restorations most often look artificial.
  • 01

    The brand is named in your plan

    Before you fly, your written plan states which implant system, which zirconia block and which ceramic will be used in your mouth. If it is not written down, do not accept it — from us or from anyone else.

  • 02

    Minimal preparation, always

    The images you have seen of tiny grey stumps are the result of crowns fitted where veneers would have done. We prepare the least the case allows and we show you the photographs of your own prepared teeth.

  • 03

    One dentist, from first photo to last check

    No coordinator hands you to a dentist you meet on the day. The person who plans your case is the person who does it.

  • 04

    Your records leave with you

    X-rays, photographs, the exact materials used and your aftercare — as files, in English, so any dentist in your country can pick up from where we left off.

The question everybody is really asking

“And if something
goes wrong at home?”

It is the reason people hesitate, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a reassuring tone of voice. Here is ours.

MSG DENTTreatment plan
Every plan we send contains, in writing:
  1. 01Your diagnosis, in plain English
  2. 02Each item of treatment, with quantities
  3. 03The brand of every material used
  4. 04The warranty period, item by item
  5. 05Appointments, and the days you must be here
  6. 06The itemised price, and the total
  7. 07What is not included

Nothing is added to this later. If your mouth turns out to need something else, you get a revised plan — and the choice to say no.

Ask for the written terms

  • In writing, before you pay

    The warranty period for every crown, veneer and implant is written on your treatment plan. Not promised on a call.

  • If something fails, we remake it

    Where a restoration fails through no fault of use, it is remade at our cost. Your flight is yours; the dentistry is ours.

  • Problems you can solve at home

    Small issues — a loose temporary, a high bite — are often fixable locally. We speak to your local dentist directly and send the technical details, so you are not flying back for a five-minute adjustment.

  • We answer after you land

    The same WhatsApp thread you started with stays open. You are not passed to an aftercare department.

Questions

Asked plainly,
answered the same way.

Including the ones that lose us bookings. If a question you have is not here, ask it on WhatsApp — you will get an answer from the dentist, not a brochure.

Why is dentistry in Istanbul less expensive than at home?
Rent, salaries, lab costs and taxes are lower in Turkey — the same reasons a coffee costs less here. The implant systems and ceramics are the same products sold in London or Berlin, at the same import prices. What changes is everything around them. Be careful of the opposite claim: a price far below other Istanbul clinics usually means a cheaper material, a rushed appointment, or a dentist you will meet once.
I have seen the “Turkey teeth” stories. How is this different?
Those cases are real and most share one cause: healthy teeth ground down for crowns when veneers or nothing at all would have been right, usually in a high-volume clinic working to a package price. We are a single-dentist practice. We prepare the minimum the case allows, we photograph your prepared teeth and show them to you, and if a treatment you have asked for is wrong for your mouth we will say so and lose the booking. That is the whole difference, and it is not marketing — you can check it in the photographs of your own teeth.
Why do you not publish prices?
Because a price list for teeth is a guess. Two people asking for “veneers” can need very different work — one needs eight veneers, the other needs a root canal, gum treatment and four. Publishing a number attracts the first question and then disappoints. Send us photographs instead; you will get a written plan with an itemised price for your mouth, usually within 24 hours, with no obligation.
How do I know the plan will not change once I arrive?
The plan is made from your photographs and, if you have them, your X-rays. On day one we examine you and take our own images. If something changes, you are told before any work starts, with the reason and the revised price — and you can walk away. Nothing is prepared or drilled the same hour you arrive.
Do you speak English?
Yes. Your consultation, your plan and your aftercare are all in English, with the dentist directly — not relayed through a translator.
Can we talk before I book a flight?
Yes, and you should. A 15-minute video call with the dentist, at a time that suits your timezone, costs nothing. Most people book flights afterwards, not before.
What if something goes wrong after I get home?
Message the same WhatsApp thread. Small adjustments are often best done by a local dentist, and we will send them your records and speak to them directly. Where a restoration fails, it is remade — the terms are written on your plan before you agree to anything.
Is it safe to have this much treatment in one trip?
Sometimes, and sometimes not. Whitening and veneers compress well into a week. Implants do not — bone needs three to four months to integrate, and any clinic offering you finished implant teeth in five days is doing something you should ask hard questions about. Where a case needs two trips, we will tell you that before you book, even though it is the answer that loses bookings.
What should I send you?
Three photographs taken on your phone: a natural smile, a wide smile showing the teeth apart, and one of the upper teeth from slightly below. If you have a recent panoramic X-ray (OPG), send that too. That is enough to plan from.
Do you help with hotels and transfers?
We suggest hotels within walking distance and we will arrange an airport transfer if you want one. We take no commission on either, and you are free to book your own — the price of your treatment does not change.
