Is a root canal painful?
With modern local anaesthesia the treatment itself feels similar to a filling. Mild sensitivity for a few days is normal.
It hurts a lot but I'm scared, will there be an injection?
Yes, local anesthesia is applied before the procedure. You won't feel anything.
My tooth hurts but I don't want it extracted, is there another solution?
Yes, we have a high chance of saving the tooth with root canal treatment. The first examination is free
Which makes more sense, root canal treatment or extraction?
If the tooth can be saved, root canal treatment is always better. If you contact us, we'll tell you what's suitable for you.
Is root canal treatment necessary or is filling sufficient?
Root canal is needed for cavities that reach the nerve. The decision becomes clear after examination.
I have hot and cold sensitivity, does this mean I need a root canal?
Hot-cold sensitivity may indicate nerve damage. An examination is required for clear information.
What should I do for severe toothache that starts at night?
If the night pain is throbbing, root canal treatment may be needed. You can make an appointment by contacting us early in the morning.
My tooth is broken, what should I do?
Keep the broken tooth, don't force the area and apply to the clinic immediately.
Is it a problem to delay treating a painful tooth?
Yes, the infection can spread and swelling can occur. Don't delay.
Are cheap dental clinics in Turkey a risk?
A very low price often means cheaper materials, no diagnosis or unnecessary treatment. Ask for material brands, the dentist's name and a written plan — quality and affordability can go together.
Is the quote fixed?
Yes. What we agree in writing before treatment is what you pay — no hidden costs.
Is it safe to get dental treatment in Turkey?
Yes, when you choose a licensed clinic with experienced dentists and certified materials. Ask for the dentist's credentials, the brands of implants and crowns, and a written treatment plan before you travel.
How much does dental treatment in Istanbul cost?
Very affordable compared with Western Europe — with the same materials and techniques. We do not publish one-size-fits-all prices: call us or send photos on WhatsApp and you receive a fixed written quote before treatment starts.

Treatment is done under local anaesthesia, so you feel pressure but not pain. The dentist explains each step before starting, and you can ask for a break at any time.

Are the reviews and photos on this site real?
Yes. Our reviews are on Google with their source, and the photos show our own clinic, team and patients (shared with their consent).
