Dentistry FAQ

How safe is cosmetic dentistry?

While general dentistry offers preventative or restorative dental treatments that restore function as well as appearance, cosmetic dentistry specifically aims to improve the appearance of the teeth and the beauty of the smile.

Getting cosmetic dental procedures from anywhere other than a qualified dentist and a fully equipped clinic creates a significant level of risk for side effects and undesired results.

As long as the treatment is done correctly by a qualified dentist the risks are minimal and cosmetic dentistry procedures are perfectly safe.

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

With the advances in technology and dental procedure techniques, cosmetic dentistry is mostly pain-free. Thanks to the sedation administered the patient feels no discomfort during their cosmetic dentistry procedure, although in some cases there might be slight discomfort after the procedure, the patient will be provided with painkillers to help manage the discomfort.

What are permanent fake teeth called?

Dental crowns are fixed prosthetics, tooth-shaped caps that are permanently cemented onto the natural teeth or on top of dental implants with the purpose of covering a damaged or chipped tooth. Dental implants are inserted directly into the jaw and act as a base for dental crowns.

How long do veneers last?

Veneers last approximately 10 to 15 years if certain habits like grinding the teeth or chewing on pen tips are avoided.

What are the most famous cosmetic dentistry procedures?

Most common cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, dental crowns, dental implants, and composite bonding.

How long do cosmetic teeth last?

This would depend on the type of the prosthetic applied during the cosmetic dental procedure. Teeth whitening lasts up to 3 years, composite bonding lasts up to 10 years and dental crowns last 10 to 15, while dental laminates last 5 to 15 years as long as they are well taken care of.

What is the difference between dentures and cosmetic dentures?

Dentures are prosthetic teeth supported by a plastic base that blends in with the gums. They can be manufactured using different types of materials, which can affect their appearance. Cosmetic dentures use specialized materials to replace missing teeth and restore function all while improving the aesthetics of the smile.

Dianne Latina reviewed Dr Soner and Medical team

I recently had the opportunity to be treated by Dr. Soner and the entire team at Yaşam hospital, and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of care I received. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, ensuring that my check-in process was smooth. Dr. Soner took the time to listen to all of my concerns, thoroughly explained my diagnosis, and discussed my treatment options in detail. The nursing team was equally exceptional — they were compassionate and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Communication was clear, and I always felt well-informed about my treatment plan. Additionally, the clinic itself was clean, modern, and well-organized, which added to my overall positive experience. I also appreciated how the team worked collaboratively to ensure the best possible outcome for my care. They were proactive, professional, and genuinely invested in my health. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Soner and the medical team at Yaşam hospital to anyone seeking quality healthcare. They exceeded my expectations in every way. I thank each and everyone of you and will miss the level of friendship and respect that was shown both for myself and my daughter .

Alison Mc Bryde reviewed Excellent service and after care 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have had my gastric bypass over 2 years ago, and all I can say is that their service is impeccable and excellent! The way you are threatened starting from the coordinator, the surgeon, the nurses, translator, driver, and all the team involved, and the way they take care of you and they always answer any questions you might have is GREAT!!! 😊 Also the after care service of which is very important is excellent!! They guide you according about everything from self care to daily nutrition. Even after the operation they keep in contact with you as regards how you are doing and feeling and also to check your blood tests. Their dietitian team especially Dietitian Rachel is very helpful and will answer any questions you might have. She will gladly help you with a meal plan to follow after surgery depending on your stage, and even after years you had the operation just in case you are off track and you gain back a few kilos, she will gladly help you get back on track with suggestions and meal plan, and always replies to any queries at any time ❤️ lovely staff always there to help. Can't suggest them enough 😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Miss Katie Ford reviewed OUTSTANDING, AMAZING.

All I can say about bookingsurgery.com is WOW WOW WOW. From the very start to the end my experience has been seamless. I had the typical Mum body, sagging breasts from breastfeeding and hanging belly. I was so miserable and insecure. I knew I wanted this done and knew I had to travel alone from the UK which worried me and every single 'what if' entered my head. I found bookingsurgery.com off Google and my journey with them from booking to flying home was seamless. I under took a breast lift, implants, tummy tuck and lipo suction 'The Mummy Makeover ' Everyone were so professional and caring and they all went above and beyond for me. My coordinator was Rossie, who was amazing. Such a lovely, friendly and caring person. She came to meet me on my arrival and came to say goodbye at the end - she was only ever a whatsapp away. Rossie even said to contacy her about any concerns at home or for further aftercare. My Consultant was Dr Omer and he knew exactly what my desired outcome was, I left everything in his hands and he was spot on, he is truly a magician. Dr Omer personally came to see me himself always with a smile even to change dressings etc which instantly put my mind at ease. Honestly, every single thing and person during my experience have been outstanding and I will only return home a better person for myself and my family! I am a changed woman. From the bottom of my heart, thankyou thankyou thankyou!

Carly reviewed Second time using this company for my…

Second time using this company for my Gastric Sleeve in Turkey, 5* care from the moment the driver picked me up and dropped me back off again. Hospital staff 10/10. Would definitely use again

customer reviewed The best service ever - miles better than the UK!

So my partner and I went for some treatments last week. David Turker is our coordinator. I was staying at Optimed and had Dr Ahmet for an arm lift. I also had one tooth implant at the dental clinic in the city. My partner has a hair transplant and consultation for new teeth. The hospital was immaculately clean and the nurses lovely and so helpful even though they mostly didn’t speak English. There was a translator there in situ 24/7. Nothing was too much trouble for the translators. We decided instead of staying in a hotel my partner would stay in the hospital with me. This meant some running about the city for the translators but they took it in their stride. I’ve had 8 operations in my 65 years in the UK with the NHS and this hospital and nurses were 4 times better in every way. They treated you with respect unlike here where they often treat you like a child! The dental clinic was out of this world in terms of cleanliness and the modern latest equipment plus the female surgeon who did my implant spoke English but the translator was there anyway. She was quick and effective and I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing. Compare this to me having 2 implants with a dental surgeon in Scotland. I paid £12,000 for 2. In Istanbul I paid £435 plus my service was second to none and no messing about. My partner had to have extra ozone treatment as he couldn’t stop smoking so it was affecting the blood circulation on his head. They gave him 3 treatments plus on the last night transferred us to the Lionel, a 5 star hotel nearer his clinic to facilitate his treatment before we went to the airport. We paid no extra for all of this. BookingSurgery. One of our translators came with us right up to the security part in the airport carrying our luggage. I felt that each step of the way I was in good hands. I run two businesses and have a governmental job which means I’m used to being in charge. Here I gave over complete control to others because I had complete trust in them. It was great to know they could instruct me and everything would be perfect. We gave our 8 translators $200 tip to share as I don’t think they get paid a lot but they were so lovely. We will both be returning for teeth work and I’ll probably have a face and neck lift with Dr Ahmet. I think the only reason the UK media spread negative reports of bad experiences in Turkey is because they shame the UK in terms of pricing and professionalism. So here it’s £6,000 per tooth implant and there it’s £435! They’re making a profit at that so imagine how we’re being ripped off in the UK paying thousands because we have no choice. The NHS won’t give us implants even though we’ve paid into the system since the age of 16. PS I didn’t have weighr loss surgery but lost the weight myself over several years. So just needed Booking Surgery to sort out saggy arms. So you can still have plastic surgery without having to lose stones and stones. So absolutely well done Booking Surgery. You’re fabulous.

Lee Calder reviewed Booking Surgery has changed my life.

Today my time with Booking surgery came to an end. I cannot put into words how great my experience has been. It has been faultless from Booking the initial surgery which was a Gastric sleeve to leaving today. My surgeon Dr Katar has done an amazing job along with all his colleagues. Rachel the nutritionist gives so much detail into how to make your surgery a success and get the results wanted. I was on floor 5 and everyone of the staff gave 100%. The translators were amazing and got any answers to questions they wasnt sure of. The NHS in the UK could learn alot from coming over here and seeing how it's done. I can't thank them enough and I am looking forward to my fresh start.
