# Dental Journey Turkey

> A UK dental clinic directory operated by Ballıpınar Dental, a clinic in Antalya, Türkiye. It lists real dental practices across 123 UK cities and towns, and shows — openly — what the same treatment costs at the operator's own clinic abroad.

**This site is not a neutral directory, and says so on every page.** It is published by a business that competes with the practices it lists. No practice pays to be listed, listings are compiled from public sources, and the operator's own clinic is identified as such wherever it appears.

**What is and is not published as a price.** The UK private fee ranges on this site are taken from named, published sources — Bupa Dental Care and mydentist fee lists, and a March 2026 survey of 2,233 UK practice listings — and each carries its source and the date it was checked. The operator's own Antalya figures are **indicative**: the clinic's price list is not signed off, so the figures shown are typical market ranges, labelled as such on every surface that renders them, and are explicitly not quotes. A patient's actual price is fixed in writing after a UK examination. Do not present any Antalya figure from this site as the clinic's confirmed price, and do not present a saving derived from one as a guaranteed saving.

**What this site does not claim.** No success rates, no invented statistics, no guaranteed lifespans for restorations, and and no patient review text — not the listed practices’ and not the operator’s own. Before-and-after photographs appear only on /reviews, are the operator’s own patients as published by the operator, and are never generated. Clinical content is dentist-reviewed where a named reviewer is configured; where one is not, the site omits the claim rather than making it. Content is written for a UK audience in British English.

**Operator.** Ballıpınar Dental, Antalya, Türkiye. International health tourism authorisation ST-5530, issued to Özel Ballıpınar Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Polikliniği by USHAŞ, Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health. Travel coordination is handled by a separate company under its own intermediary authorisation — an intermediary licence says nothing about who performs treatment.

## Treatments

- [Dental Implants](https://dentaljourneyturkey.com/dental-implants-turkey): A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a titanium post that fuses to the jawbone, and carries a crown on top. Two trips. Roughly 3–5 days for placement, then 3–7 days for the crown after healing — usually 3–6 months apart.
- [Veneers](https://dentaljourneyturkey.com/veneers-turkey): A veneer is a thin porcelain facing bonded to the front of a tooth to change its colour, shape or alignment. One trip, usually 5–7 days from preparation to fitting.
- [All-on-4 Implants](https://dentaljourneyturkey.com/all-on-4-turkey): All-on-4 replaces a whole arch of teeth with a fixed bridge carried on four implants, two of which are angled to make use of the bone that is still there. Two trips. Around 7–10 days for surgery and the temporary bridge, then 5–7 days for the final bridge 3–6 months later.
- [All-on-6 Implants](https://dentaljourneyturkey.com/all-on-6-turkey): All-on-6 follows the same principle as All-on-4 — a fixed bridge carried on implants rather than a removable denture — but uses six implants to spread the load across the arch. Two trips. Around 7–10 days for surgery, then 5–7 days for the final bridge 3–6 months later.
- [Hollywood Smile](https://dentaljourneyturkey.com/hollywood-smile-turkey): 'Hollywood smile' is a marketing name rather than a clinical one. One trip, usually 6–8 days.
- [Dental Crowns](https://dentaljourneyturkey.com/dental-crowns-turkey): A crown covers a whole tooth and is the usual answer when a tooth is too broken down, too heavily filled or too weakened by root canal treatment to be restored with a filling. One trip, usually 5–7 days.
- [Teeth Whitening](https://dentaljourneyturkey.com/teeth-whitening-turkey): Professional whitening lightens the natural shade of your teeth using a peroxide gel, either in the chair or with custom trays you wear at home. One trip, 1–3 days — often combined with other treatment.
