At LD Klinik it depends entirely on how many teeth are treated and in what material. A monolithic zirconium crown is £165 per tooth, an E.max crown or laminate veneer is £210 per tooth, and professional whitening with cleaning is £250 for the course. A common ten-unit upper smile makeover therefore sits between £1,650 and £2,100 in treatment costs. Implant-supported work starts at £390 per implant with abutment. Your written quotation is itemised per tooth and fixed before you book a flight.

Safety depends on the clinic, not the country. The elements that make it safe are an in-person examination before the plan is finalised, imaging where surgery is involved, documented implant and ceramic brands, temporaries between stages, a try-in before final cementation, and a written guarantee. The cases that went badly and reached the media generally failed on the first of those — the plan was agreed from photographs rather than after an examination.

Five to seven days for a veneer or crown case, completed in a single visit. If implants are part of the plan, you need two visits of five to seven days each, separated by three to six months of healing at home. Anyone offering a final, permanent full-arch implant result in a single week is compressing a stage that should not be compressed.

A veneer is a thin ceramic facing bonded to the front surface of the tooth, removing very little tooth structure. A crown covers the whole tooth and requires it to be reshaped all round. Veneers suit healthy teeth with shade, chip or small gap complaints. Crowns are appropriate for heavily filled, root-treated, worn or badly rotated teeth. The choice is clinical, not cosmetic, and it is irreversible in the case of crowns.

Most people show six to ten upper teeth when smiling, which is why those numbers are most common. Wider smiles reveal the premolars, which is where sixteen and twenty-unit plans come from. The correct number is the point at which the ceramic ends and your natural teeth continue without a visible colour step — determined at your examination, on your own smile line.

That is a design decision, not a material limitation. The very white, very uniform look comes from choosing a bright shade with flat, identical tooth shapes. Natural results use slight length variation, translucency at the edges and a shade matched to your face and age. At LD Klinik the design is agreed with you on screen before any tooth is prepared, and you wear temporaries in that shape before the final ceramics are made.

Preparation and fitting are carried out under local anaesthetic, so the appointments themselves are not painful. Mild sensitivity to hot and cold is normal for a few days after preparation and while wearing temporaries, and settles once the final ceramics are bonded. Surgical procedures such as extractions and implant placement involve more post-operative soreness, managed with standard painkillers. Sedation is available where anxiety is a factor.

With good oral hygiene, regular check-ups and a night guard if you grind, well-fitted ceramic restorations commonly last ten to fifteen years and often longer. What shortens their life is gum disease, decay at the margins, and grinding. LD Klinik provides a 5-year written guarantee on implants and prosthetics; the guarantee document sets out precisely what is covered and what is excluded.

Contact the clinic first — most issues are minor and can be assessed from photographs, and many adjustments can be carried out by a local dentist with our instructions. Where a restoration is covered by the guarantee and needs remaking, that is arranged with us directly. Establish this process in writing before treatment, with any clinic, so that you know who to contact and what is covered before you need it.

Partly. The first two to three days are the clinically busy ones and are not a good time for excursions, sun exposure or alcohol. The back half of the week is lighter and most patients use it to see Antalya. Plan any significant sightseeing for after the final fitting rather than between stages.

Yes, and it is worth saying at the enquiry stage rather than on arrival, so the appointments can be paced accordingly. Longer consultation time, staged appointments and sedation are all available. Sedation is charged at £390 per hour and is agreed in advance as part of your written quotation.

The difference is operating cost, not material cost. Clinical salaries, premises, laboratory work and insurance are substantially lower in Türkiye, while the ceramics and implant systems are bought from the same international manufacturers. The saving is real, but it should never be the only reason to choose a clinic — compare the plan, the materials, the guarantee and the aftercare route before comparing the price.
