Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about medical treatment in Turkey.

✈️Travel & Planning

Do I need a visa to travel to Turkey for treatment?
Most EU citizens can enter Turkey visa-free for up to 90 days. Citizens of the UK, US, Canada, and Australia can obtain an e-Visa online before departure. Check the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for your specific country.
How long should I stay in Turkey for my treatment?
It depends on the treatment. Dental veneers typically require 5-7 days, hair transplants 3-4 days, and gastric sleeve surgery 7-10 days. We recommend adding 2-3 extra days for follow-up appointments and recovery.
Is airport transfer included?
Most clinics in our network offer complimentary airport pickup and drop-off as part of their treatment packages. This is confirmed before you travel.

🏥Clinics & Quality

How do you select and verify clinics?
Every clinic undergoes a strict vetting process: we verify international accreditations (JCI, ISO), visit the facility, review surgeon credentials and patient outcomes, and collect real patient feedback. Only clinics that pass all criteria are listed.
What if something goes wrong after I return home?
All clinics in our network provide aftercare guarantees. You will receive a detailed aftercare plan, direct contact with your treating doctor, and most clinics offer free corrective treatment if complications arise within the warranty period.
Are the dentists and surgeons qualified?
Yes. All practitioners at our partner clinics are licensed, board-certified specialists with years of experience. Many have trained internationally and are members of professional associations like the ISAPS, ITI, or ISHRS.

💰Costs & Payments

Why is treatment in Turkey so much cheaper?
Lower cost of living, government incentives for medical tourism, high competition among clinics, and favorable exchange rates all contribute. This does not mean lower quality — many Turkish clinics use the same materials and technology as top European clinics.
Are there hidden costs I should be aware of?
We require all clinics to provide fully transparent, all-inclusive quotes. Your quote should include treatment, materials, hotel, transfers, and follow-up appointments. We always ask clinics to specify exactly what is and isn't included.
Can I pay in installments?
Some clinics offer financing options or installment plans. Payment methods typically include bank transfer, credit card, and sometimes in-clinic payment upon arrival. Ask about payment options when requesting your quote.

🩺Treatments & Recovery

What dental treatments are most popular in Turkey?
Dental veneers (porcelain and E-max), dental implants, All-on-4/All-on-6 full mouth restorations, dental crowns, and Hollywood Smile makeovers are the most requested procedures. Turkey is also known for affordable teeth whitening packages.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies by treatment. Dental veneers: immediate results, mild sensitivity for 1-2 weeks. Hair transplant: social recovery in 7-10 days, full results in 12-18 months. Gastric sleeve: 2-3 weeks before returning to work, ongoing dietary adjustment.
