    Amazing Service

    My experience with Dentalays has been truly amazing and life-changing. From the very beginning, they were extremely attentive to every detail. They were honest about the treatments I really needed according to my condition, and everything that was planned was followed exactly as explained. The service was always excellent: punctual, professional, and very caring. Of course, I had fears — especially about the final results and about pain. I was also very scared of removing my wisdom teeth because I thought I would be swollen for days, but when Dentalays did it, I had no swelling at all. All my concerns and requirements were carefully listened to and respected, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. The entire staff is incredibly kind, from the drivers who assist you every day, to the clinic manager. Special thanks to my doctor for her patience and professionalism, and to the translator who accompanied me to most of my appointments and always answered all my questions and requests with kindness and dedication. I am truly very grateful to him. I am extremely happy with the final result. I spent a long time dreaming of having a smile like the one I have now, and thanks to Dentalays, it became reality. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering dental treatment in Turkey. Thank you for giving me back my confidence and my smile.

    Dental treatment at Dentalays.

    Hi. I’m Giga and I have just completed my dental journey with Dentals Antalya. Being from the UK my decision to have my dental treatment so far from home was not an easy decision to make. After careful consideration I decided to put my trust in Dentalays. In June 2025 my journey began. Every stage of my journey was seamless and professional. I arrived at the clinic and was made to feel so special and valued as a customer by all of the Team. After a series of tests a treatment plan was put together for me. We agreed on the best treatments for me. I had to have a number of extractions and implants fitted. All done with care and professionalism. I then had to fly home with temporary teeth for 4 months to give time for my implants to settle and heal. The 4 months soon passed completely trouble free. I returned to the clinic on 13/10/2025 for the completion of my treatments. Today 18/10/2025 my dental treatments are now all completed. I am now the proud owner of a beautiful full set of new teeth. This has been my dream since childhood. So a massive Thankyou to all the team at Dentalays for making my dream come true. Five star all the way.

    After 3 years of extensive research to find the best dental clinic in turkey Dentalays to me always stood out from the rest of the clinics I looked at. I was especially attracted to this clinic because of the natural beautiful smiles that they create I think there work speaks for itself it’s simply outstanding. I made contact with the clinic and Mya was just amazing and such a pleasure to deal with I knew I was going to be in the best hands. I booked my flight and beautiful Mya arranged everything else from transport and 5* accommodation. I arrived at Antalya airport and transport was waiting for me I was then taken to the clinic and was greeted by the wonderful team. After an X-ray and dental examination it was obvious that my case was extremely complex. I had teeth extracted,bone graft and sinus lift,implants and crowns it was completely painless the whole experience was so smooth from start to finish each and every doctor that was part of my treatment was just amazing they have a really amazing team they are passionate about what they do and this shines through with the work they produce . I returned six months later as implants need time to heal and fuse. My treatment was completed on my second visit and I could not be happier with the final results. I highly recommend Dentalays if I could give 10 stars to this amazing clinic and team then I would as they deserve it they are just amazing. Thank you Dentalays for restoring my confidence and giving me the most beautiful smile imaginable you are simply the best I am eternally grateful.

    Hello, I'm not sure where to begin. Following lots of investigating, my sibling chose to visit the Dentalays clinic. A long-standing dream for me was to have my smile corrected, yet I lacked the bravery to make it happen. My brother went to Turkey to look at a couple clinics and picked Dentalays. I took his recommendation and got in contact with the clinic. The first encounter went smoothly. We video conferenced and it seemed like I had recognized the employees forever. I felt welcomed immediately, directed by video and I immediately had a positive response about it. I instantly experienced such great care. After that we began preparations. Organization, booking flights, everything. Upon landing at the clinic, it felt like visiting old friends. Everyone, absolutely EVERYONE, is so genuinely kind. Every step was arranged carefully and the work began. All the medical professionals and helpers perform brilliantly. All procedures were skillful, without pain and extraordinary. I'm amazed at having found this clinic and to have gotten my teeth corrected there. I'd repeat it every time. A huge THANKS to EVERYONE! You're fantastic. Dr. Fatih - you possess a caring spirit! Thanks greatly for ALL! Dr. Tansu - enormous THANKS! I invested considerable time with you, you gave me the most stunning smile. FANTASTIC. You're amazing! THANKS!

You're so understanding, rest comes easily throughout your appointments. I was so at comfort with you! You're remarkable! THANKS! Dr. Baris - tooth removal and 4 replacements in sixty minutes. After I went strolling in Lara all evening. Without pain! Hard to think! Highly professional. THANKS! Simply an ENORMOUS THANKS to everyone! YOU'RE ALL, EACH AND EVERY ONE, THE BEST! MANY THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! Osmani - consistently looked out for me. You're outstanding. Always good perspective. Many thanks to you as well! Alisa - my treasure, THANKS for all.

You're such a wonderful, amazing and the most caring individual! You've become a portion of my household. Actually! I instantly take you into my HEART! I love you! You mean everything! From start to finish! A fantastic effort from all! Only the outstanding clinic in Lara! Nearly twelve months after my process, all has recovered superbly and zero complications or suffering.

You won't regret! Regrettably you're only able to provide 5 stars, but you're worthy of an infinite amount of stars! I adore you all! THANKS!

    Outstanding dental facility—the finest I've encountered. Elegant and spotless environment. Affordable pricing. Incredibly fair rates. Underwent wisdom tooth extraction and invisalign here. Remarkably skilled and considerate staff. Money-driven they're not—they offer honest guidance instead. If it's unnecessary, they'll let you know. I'd confidently refer anyone to this place. Once terrified of dental work, that's changed now. Grateful to Fatih 🫡

    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.

What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction removes a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. We always try to save natural teeth, but extraction is sometimes necessary to maintain your overall oral health.

Common reasons for a tooth extraction include:

  • Severe decay: A cavity has damaged the tooth too much for it to be saved with a filling or root canal.
  • Infection: An abscess or severe gum disease has compromised the tooth and the surrounding bone.
  • Trauma: An injury has severely broken or fractured the tooth.
  • Crowding (orthodontics): A tooth may be removed to create space for other teeth to align properly with braces.
  • Impacted teeth: A tooth, most commonly a wisdom tooth, is trapped under the gum and cannot erupt.

Types of Tooth Extraction: Simple vs. Surgical

The two main types of tooth extraction are simple and surgical. The type you need depends on the tooth's condition and how visible it is.

Simple Tooth Extraction

A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is fully visible above the gumline. The dentist uses an elevator to loosen the tooth, then forceps to remove it. The procedure is performed quickly under local anaesthesia.

Surgical Tooth Extraction

A surgical extraction is more complex and is needed when a tooth is difficult to access, such as when it is broken off at the gumline or impacted (stuck beneath the gum). An oral surgeon makes a small incision in the gum to access the tooth. In some cases, the tooth may need to be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal, or a small amount of bone may need to be removed. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and IV sedation is available for anxious patients.

The Tooth Extraction Procedure in Turkey: Step by Step

Here is what to expect during a tooth extraction at our clinic.

  1. Consultation and 3D X-Ray

    We take a high-definition X-ray (CBCT scan) to view the tooth's roots, check for infection, and determine the exact position of any impacted teeth.

  2. Anaesthesia

    We numb the area with a strong local anaesthetic. You will feel pressure but no pain. We also offer sedation options for your comfort.

  3. The Extraction

    • For a simple extraction, the surgeon gently loosens and removes the tooth.
    • For a surgical extraction, the surgeon makes a precise incision, removes the tooth, and cleans the area.
  4. Stitches

    If an incision is made, dissolvable stitches are placed. They disappear on their own as you heal.

  5. Recovery

    You will bite on a gauze pad to help form a blood clot. We will also provide aftercare instructions and medication.

Wisdom Tooth Removal in Turkey

Wisdom tooth removal is the most common type of surgical extraction. Wisdom teeth, also called "third molars," are the last teeth to erupt and often cause problems because there isn't enough space for them. They may become impacted, grow sideways, or cause pain, infection, and damage to neighbouring teeth. We specialize in removing problematic wisdom teeth safely and comfortably, and the cost in Turkey is exceptionally low.

Tooth Extraction Aftercare: Preventing Dry Socket

Proper tooth extraction aftercare supports healing. The main goal is to protect the blood clot that forms in the socket and acts as a natural bandage.

If the blood clot is dislodged, it can cause a painful condition called dry socket, in which the bone and nerves are exposed.

To help prevent dry socket and support healing:

  • DO NOT smoke for at least 72 hours.
  • DO NOT drink through a straw. The suction can dislodge the clot.
  • DO NOT spit forcefully or rinse your mouth aggressively.
  • DO eat soft foods (yogurt, soup, smoothies) for the first few days.
  • DO gently rinse with warm salt water after the first 24 hours.
  • DO rest and avoid strenuous activity for 2-3 days.

Extraction for Dental Implants: The First Step

Tooth extraction is often the first step in a full smile restoration. If you plan to get a dental implant, the extraction site needs careful consideration.

In some cases, we can place an implant immediately, at the same time as the extraction. In other cases, we may place a bone graft in the empty socket during the extraction. This helps preserve the jawbone's height and width, creating a strong foundation for a future implant.

  • Advanced Diagnostics: Our 3D CBCT scans help us plan complex surgical extractions with precision and avoid nerves and sinuses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is a tooth extraction painful?

No. The procedure itself is completely pain-free because you are fully numbed with local anaesthesia. You will feel pressure but no pain. We also offer sedation. Afterwards, you may have manageable soreness for a few days, which is easily controlled with the painkillers we provide.

2. How much does wisdom tooth removal cost in Turkey?

Wisdom tooth removal in Turkey costs significantly less than in the UK or USA. A single surgical removal can cost over £500 in the UK, while our prices are typically 80-90% less, making treatment highly affordable.

3. What is a dry socket?

A dry socket is a painful complication that can occur if the blood clot in the extraction site is dislodged, for example, by smoking, using a straw, or spitting. This exposes the bone and nerves. Following our aftercare instructions helps prevent it.

4. How long do I need to stay in Turkey for an extraction?

After a simple extraction, you can often fly home the next day. For a complex surgical extraction, such as removal of impacted wisdom teeth, we recommend staying for 3 to 5 days so we can monitor your initial healing.

5. Can I get a dental implant at the same time as my extraction?

Sometimes. This is called "immediate implant placement" and may be possible if there is no active infection and sufficient bone. If not, we will often place a bone graft during the extraction to prepare the site for an implant in a few months.
