    My Experience at Dentalays I wanted to take time to write a thorough review of my Dentalays journey, since significant dental work is a major decision and naturally, I had plenty of nerves and questions before proceeding. From day one, communication with Dentalays proved excellent. Prior to arrival, I discussed my treatment plan and was able to get answers about what was entailed. Having a clear vision of what I wanted from my new smile mattered greatly to me, particularly since I desired the final outcome to appear natural rather than overly artificial. Upon arriving at Dentalays, I had a consultation where the dentist could thoroughly assess everything and we discussed the procedure in person. My treatment included 24 zirconia crowns, bridges, gum contouring and extraction of some remaining baby teeth. Before the permanent work was installed, temporary teeth were placed using composite bonding on my existing teeth. These weren't exact copies of my final crowns; they were temporary composite restorations placed over my original teeth while the permanent crowns and bridges were being prepared. This provided me with something temporary to live with during the treatment period and let the dentist evaluate the overall look before proceeding to the permanent work. The procedure itself was a significant undertaking, but I felt supported throughout. The team were friendly, professional and prepared to answer my questions, which was particularly comforting when you're undergoing such extensive dental work. The airport and hotel transfers were also well organized, making the journey between the airport, hotel and clinic easy. Having that aspect of the trip arranged eliminated considerable stress. When the permanent crowns and bridges were installed, I was very pleased with the overall look. The shape, alignment and colour met my expectations, and I'm particularly glad that the outcome doesn't look overly artificial. Naturally there was an adjustment period after. I experienced some sensitivity after the procedure and my gums required time to adjust, which I anticipated after having so much work done. I've also had to learn to care for the crowns and bridges properly, including proper flossing and using a water flosser. On the whole, I'm very satisfied with my Dentalays journey. Having major dental work done abroad can seem intimidating, but I felt supported every step of the way. The team were friendly, the procedure was well coordinated and, most importantly, I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I'd suggest Dentalays to anyone considering treatment, though I'd also advise doing thorough research, asking lots of questions and being very explicit with the dentist about what result you want. For me, this has been a transformative experience, and I'm really satisfied with my new smile.

    Had a wonderful time at Dental Ays for my veneer work. First I had X-rays followed by an extremely comprehensive evaluation with expert 'before' photos. I chose my procedure and it took place in 4 stages involving tooth preparation and tone/look selection, test fit then placement, and then bite correction retainer placement/ 'after' photos. The staff and facility deserve only praise. Relaxing waiting sections, spotless and contemporary clinical areas. The staff all are fluent in multiple languages. All procedures are clarified and you feel completely at ease. The hotel we booked was the Marmara. It was beginning season so remained peaceful and serene. The bedroom and facilities were wonderful. The property, featuring an elevator through rocks to a small beach, is absolutely stunning. Transfers happen consistently on schedule. Comfortable and something you don't have to manage. Teeth (in my view) look Wonderful. Quite natural. I got many questions about what design I wanted and they made them precisely how I requested them To. You pay at your initial evaluation. I settled via debit card with zero additional costs. Message on WhatsApp is the preferred contact option and it performs effectively. Support stays active, inquiries get answered promptly. I would absolutely suggest Dental ays.

    I went alone to Dentalays in Antalya for Emax laminate veneers, and from beginning to end I got reassurance at every point. From my initial contact with Joseph while still in England, through to my last conversation with him before departure, he was helpful, truthful, reassuring, and continuously willing to help with my concerns. My coordinator, Ehsaan, was wonderful. He guided me through each phase of the procedure, making certain I comprehended precisely what was happening and making me feel secure throughout. We had some lovely conversations as well, which added a personal touch and made everything feel more relaxed. The whole team at the clinic were exceptional, so professional and kind, from the dental hygienist to the dental nurses and all others involved. Dr Ayça was remarkable. She is incredibly devoted and fully grasped the appearance I aimed for. After the first try-on, I felt the veneers seemed somewhat white since I wanted my teeth to seem as natural as possible. Without delay, they went back to the laboratory. When I tried them the next day, they were absolutely ideal, precisely what I'd envisioned. I got emotional, and Dr Ayça did too. I was thrilled and relieved. She is an absolute perfectionist and talented at her craft. My teeth appear wonderful and, critically, natural!! just what I wanted!! Since I got back, I've gotten many wonderful comments. Individuals have remarked on how natural my teeth appear and mentioned they'd never know I had veneers, which is the compliment I treasured most. I appreciate everyone at Dentalays for such a rewarding journey. I'm so appreciative and couldn't be happier with how my smile looks.

    My experience at Dentalays

    I came by myself to Dentalays in Antalya for Emax laminate veneers, and from first moment to last I received support at each stage. From my opening discussions with Joseph while I was still in the UK, right to my parting conversation with him before going home, he was practical, genuine, calming, and constantly prepared to support with my inquiries. My facilitator, Ehsaan, was delightful. He led me through all phases of the operation, checking I was crystal clear about precisely what was happening and enabling me to stay relaxed throughout. We also enjoyed some really positive talks as well, which added a more individual dimension and helped everything feel more serene. The whole facility team proved exceptional, incredibly competent and welcoming, including the dental professional to the dental aides and all people engaged. Dr Ayça was extraordinary. She is remarkably enthusiastic and absolutely recognized the appearance I was pursuing. At the test placement, I thought the veneers looked a little light because I intended my teeth to have a natural tone. Immediately, they were returned to the workshop. When I examined them the subsequent day, they were completely ideal, entirely what I imagined. I grew quite moved, and Dr Ayça got emotional as well. I was incredibly glad and content. She is a true perfectionist and remarkably talented at her specialty. My teeth appear incredible and, significantly, natural!! precisely the way I wanted!! Ever since coming home, I've gotten quite a few positive messages. Individuals have told me how genuine my teeth appear and stated they'd never detect I'd had veneers, which is the greatest feedback I'd hope for. I'm so grateful to all at Dentalays for such a fantastic time. I'm deeply appreciative and truly couldn't be happier with my smile.

    Im very happy with my new shiny smile, thank you Dentalays Antalya

    I would suggest Dentalays following my journey at the Antalya location March 23-30, 2026. I performed extensive investigation before making contact. My preliminary message inquiry January 2026, excellent response and "absolutely" method to my question, accompanied by an itemized invoice for the operation/dental makeover. Small installment paid in GBP reserved the dates and the recommended operation. I obtained emax veneers and crowns. I'm satisfied with the outcome, i experience happy and self-assured with a gleaming grin, which was extremely crooked previously, with surfaces broken, weakened and aching through extended Bruxism, daily damage and wear. The fee of the procedure group is reasonable, just a percentage of the UK cost - i spent below 5k which covered everything, housing, travel from airport, and dentist consultations. The therapy by itself in UK is calculated near 35k! I got 11 Emax veneers 6 Emax layer crowns and 2 replacement crowns on previous implants, Masseter Botox, retainer, couple fillings, laser alignment to gums and more. My Medical Professional Dr Yonja and her wonderful nursing partner were both considerate, stabilizing, attentive, gifted, extremely considerate, excellent interaction and gave effort to guarantee that I realized the aesthetic I was looking for. Regarding the veneers, including tone, profile, proportions, the appearance and alignment which seemed more difficult than expected. This meant sending the veneers back to the workshop for modifications twice. Nothing posed difficulty to reach the ideal finish, both useful and optical. Regrettably modifications need scheduling and I was concerned about completing the final set all completed on the final occasion, I returned that nighttime. Ultimately it concluded effectively, done punctually simply a very demanding final occasion which left me tired, before the commute away. Still the results are fantastic and well worth it, absolutely satisfied. The practice is excellent. Pleasant, courteous encouraging team, a peaceful modern clean setting. My guidance if I were to do it once more, I wouldn't travel by myself. The treatments involved substantial, controlled injury of the mouth and face, with inevitable soreness, puffiness, and irritation. The practice supplied everything I wanted to decrease this, rinse, treatment, and so on but I'd have appreciated having an ally for backing, contact and encouragement. In hindsight I imagine one or two extra evenings in Antalya in my scenario as well. What i believe would enhance the journey.... the paperwork. Completing, authorization, physical background, legal protections and so forth, if they might be delivered and finished prior to coming, would strengthen the initial occasion experience. It seemed pressed and something chaotic/overwhelming to complete them all on the initial occasion at the clinic.

    Dentalays

    So after researching the Internet for nearly a year we've chosen Dentalays,do to very positive reviews.And I'm so happy we did because people in here are Professionals at the highest level.You will always get an advice on which option is better for you not for their pocket..What amazed me the most was their honesty.Instead of selling me the most expensive work(usually it works that way,business is business)they've made a plan for me that cost me the price of 4 or 5 fillings back in Ireland,and I've got veneer for 6 of my teeth+2implants.And that tells you a lot about their attitude towards their clients.Every single procedure,doesn't matter how small or big it is explained to you in plain English, not medical terms.Their focus to detail is exceptional,had to send my veneer back to the lab because my doctor saw a little tiny gap(i thought it was perfect fit).Came back after few hours the same day and the job was finished.The transfer from and to clinic is always on time,really comfy.If you wanna go shoping after the treatment there is no problem either,you don't need a taxi,tell the place and you're there in no time.So my experience is nothing less than 10/10.For all the people like myself lost in the "sea" of dental clinics and confused which one to choose i can say only one thing,go to Dentalays,they will go above and beyond to make you happy!

What is General & Oral Surgery?

General & Oral Surgery is the branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of your overall oral health. It encompasses a vast range of procedures, from preventative care like Teeth Cleaning to restorative procedures like a Dental Filling, and more complex treatments like Root Canal therapy or Surgical Tooth Extraction. This pillar is the foundation upon which all cosmetic dentistry is built—we must ensure your mouth is healthy before we make it beautiful.

Our General & Surgical Services

We offer a comprehensive range of treatments to restore and maintain your oral health:

Restorative Dentistry (Repairing Teeth)

  • Dental Filling / Composite Filling: Used to treat cavities (decay). We remove the decayed portion and fill the space with a tooth-coloured, durable Composite Filling.
  • Inlay & Onlay Restorations: For decay that is too large for a simple filling, these lab-made ceramic restorations provide a stronger, more durable solution.
  • Tooth Fracture Treatment: A range of solutions, from bonding to crowns, to repair cracked, chipped, or broken teeth and restore their structure.1
  • Composite Bonding: Minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures often completed in one visit. Composite Bonding repairs small chips or gaps with resin. Composite Veneers use the same material, skillfully layered over the entire tooth surface to create a new smile.

Oral Surgery & Endodontics (Health & Removal)

  • Surgical Tooth Extraction: For complex removals, such as impacted wisdom teeth or teeth broken below the gum line. Our oral surgeons make this procedure fast and painless.
  • Root Canal Treatment: A procedure to save a badly infected tooth. We remove the infected nerve from inside the tooth, clean the canals, and seal it, eliminating pain and saving the tooth from extraction.
  • Gum Graft Surgery: A surgical procedure to correct gum recession. A thin piece of tissue is taken (usually from the palate) and placed over the exposed root to protect it and improve gum health.

Preventative & Therapeutic Treatments

  • Teeth Cleaning (Scaling & Polishing): The cornerstone of dental health. Our hygienists use advanced ultrasonic scalers to remove hardened plaque (tartar) and polish away surface stains.
  • Teeth Grinding Treatment (Bruxism) / Gum Shield: For patients who clench or grind their teeth (Bruxism), we create a custom-fitted night guard (Gum Shield) to protect teeth from wear and fracture.2
  • Laser Gum Treatment: A non-surgical, minimally-invasive procedure to treat gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis).3 The laser removes bacteria and infected tissue with minimal discomfort and fast healing.

Functional Aesthetics

  • Masseter Botox (Chewing Muscle Botox): A highly effective therapeutic treatment for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism). We inject Botox into the large chewing muscles (masseters) to relax them, which relieves jaw pain, headaches, and clenching.4 As a secondary benefit, it can also create a slimmer, more contoured jawline.

The Treatment Process in Turkey: Step-by-Step

Our process for general surgery is focused on efficiency, safety, and comfort:

  1. Consultation & Diagnosis (Visit 1)

    We conduct a thorough examination, including 3D CBCT scans or digital X-rays, to accurately diagnose the problem (e.g., an infected nerve for a Root Canal or an impacted wisdom tooth for Surgical Tooth Extraction).

  2. Anaesthesia & Procedure

    We apply a powerful local anaesthetic to ensure the entire area is completely numb. Our specialist (an endodontist for root canals, an oral surgeon for extractions) then performs the procedure efficiently and painlessly.

  3. Aftercare & Recovery

    We provide you with all necessary medications (like antibiotics or pain relief) and clear aftercare instructions. For most procedures, you can resume normal activities the same or the next day.

Why Choose Dentalays for Your Dental Surgery in Antalya?

  • In-House Specialists: We are not just a cosmetic clinic. We have a full team of specialists under one roof, including an Endodontist (Root Canal specialist), an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, and Periodontists (gum specialists).
  • Advanced Technology: We use 3D CBCT scanners for precise surgical planning, digital X-rays, and advanced Laser Gum Treatment technology for minimally invasive, fast-healing procedures.
  • Absolute Sterilization: Your safety is our highest priority. Our surgical instruments and operatories adhere to the strictest international sterilization protocols.
  • Holistic Planning: We perform these foundational treatments as the first step of a Smile Makeover. We ensure your mouth is perfectly healthy before we begin any cosmetic work.
  • Affordability: We provide access to critical and specialized care, like Gum Graft Surgery or Masseter Botox, at prices that are highly competitive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much does a root canal cost in Turkey?

The root canal cost Turkey is very affordable, typically ranging from €150 to €300, depending on which tooth it is (molars have more canals and cost more).

Is surgical tooth extraction painful?

No. The procedure is done under strong local anaesthesia, so you will feel no pain, only some pressure. We provide medication to manage any post-operative discomfort.

What is Masseter Botox used for?

It is a highly effective treatment for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism). It relaxes the main chewing muscle to stop clenching, relieve jaw pain, and prevent tooth damage. It also has a cosmetic effect of slimming the jaw.

How long does it take to get a dental filling?

A standard Composite Filling is a one-visit procedure that usually takes 30-60 minutes.5

What's the difference between a Filling and an Inlay/Onlay?

A Dental Filling (or Composite Filling) is a soft material placed directly into the cavity and hardened in your mouth.6 An Inlay & Onlay Restoration is a larger, custom-made piece of solid porcelain or ceramic made in our lab and then bonded to the tooth, making it much stronger for large cavities.

What is Gum Graft Surgery?

This is a surgical procedure to treat gum recession (where the gum has pulled away from the tooth). A small piece of tissue is moved to cover the exposed root, protecting it from decay and sensitivity.

What is Laser Gum Treatment?

This is a minimally invasive treatment for gum disease. A dental laser is used to remove bacteria and infected tissue from under the gum line without cutting or stitches, allowing for faster, more comfortable healing.7

I grind my teeth. What is the treatment?

Teeth Grinding Treatment (Bruxism) typically involves two steps: 1) A custom-made Gum Shield (night guard) to protect your teeth at night. 2) Masseter Botox to help relax the overactive muscles that cause the grinding.8

What's the difference: Composite Filling vs. Composite Bonding?

They use the same tooth-coloured resin material. A Composite Filling is a restorative procedure used to fill a cavity caused by decay.9 Composite Bonding is a cosmetic procedure used to add material to a healthy tooth to fix chips or small gaps.10

How often should I get my Teeth Cleaning?

We recommend a professional Teeth Cleaning (Scaling & Polishing) every 6 months to prevent gum disease and cavities.
