International Plus Istanbul

International Plus runs a dedicated dental division inside a larger multi speciality medical centre, so the treatment list is broad. Implant work covers single implants, implant supported bridges, full arch All on 4 and All on 6 restorations, mini implants, zygomatic implants and Toronto style fixed bridges. On the cosmetic side there are E.max and porcelain veneers, zirconia crowns, full Hollywood Smile makeovers and teeth whitening. The clinic also handles root canal treatment, gum and periodontal care, and oral and maxillofacial surgery, which means complex cases needing bone grafting or sinus work can be managed in the same building. Because the centre also offers hair transplantation, aesthetic surgery and other specialities, some patients combine dental treatment with a second procedure on a single trip.

International Plus does not publish a fixed price list. It quotes an all inclusive package after a free assessment of your photos and x rays, and that quote is meant to cover the dental work, hotel, airport transfers and an interpreter. As a rough guide to the Istanbul market, published clinic price guides put a single implant with its crown in the region of USD 600 to 1,200, and porcelain or E.max veneers around USD 250 to 500 per tooth, against roughly USD 2,000 to 4,000 and USD 1,200 to 2,500 for the same work in the UK, United States or Australia. Savings on a full case typically land in the 45 to 75 percent range once flights and accommodation are counted. These figures are indicative only, and only the clinic's written quote applies to you.

The centre lists authorisation from the Turkish Ministry of Health, which every clinic treating international patients in Turkey is required to hold, along with Health Turkiye certification for medical tourism providers. It also states ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 27001 for information security and ISO 10002:2018 for complaint handling. Individual dentists are described as holding credentials tied to bodies such as the ADA, AACD, ITI, EAO and TAOMS. SmileJet lists these as published by the clinic and does not independently audit them, so it is reasonable to ask the coordinator for copies of the current licence and for your named dentist's registration before you pay a deposit. Any clinic comfortable with its paperwork will send it without fuss.

Language support is one of the areas International Plus leans on hardest. The coordination team states it works in 27 languages, with English, Arabic, French, German, Russian and Spanish among the most commonly requested, and a personal interpreter is included in the standard treatment package rather than charged as an extra. In practice one coordinator handles your messages before travel, meets you on arrival and sits in on consultations, so consent forms and treatment options are explained in a language you read comfortably. If your language is less commonly requested, confirm interpreter availability for your exact travel dates at the time you book, since cover depends on who is rostered that week.

Plan on five to seven days for most cases. A veneer or crown based smile makeover is usually completed inside that window, with impressions and digital design early in the week and the final fit at the end. Implant patients follow a two visit pattern: five to seven days for surgery, with temporary teeth fitted the same day where the case allows, then a shorter return of three to four days about three months later once the implants have integrated. Book your flight home at least a day after the final appointment so there is room for an adjustment. The centre sits in the Halkali area of Kucukcekmece on the European side of Istanbul, around thirty to forty minutes from Istanbul Airport depending on traffic.

International Plus names Straumann, Nobel Biocare, MegaGen, Bego and Nucleoss as the implant systems it works with. Straumann and Nobel Biocare are premium Swiss and Swedish brands with long clinical track records and global service networks. MegaGen, Bego and Nucleoss sit further down the price scale, and Nucleoss is Turkish made, which is part of why Istanbul packages can be priced the way they are. Brand matters most for what happens later: if a crown or abutment needs replacing years from now, a dentist at home has to identify the system to order matching parts. Ask which brand your quote is based on, whether a different system changes the price, and make sure you leave with the implant passport recording the exact fixture and lot number.

In most cases yes. The clinic quotes five to seven days for a veneer or crown based Hollywood Smile, which is possible because restorations are made in an in house laboratory rather than sent out, and because the design is agreed digitally before any preparation starts. The usual sequence is consultation and scanning on day one, a digital preview of the proposed smile, preparation and temporaries mid week, then try in and final cementation at the end. Two things extend that timeline: untreated gum disease or decay that has to be dealt with first, and any case involving implants, where the bone needs around three months to integrate before the final teeth go in. A pre travel assessment from your photos and x rays will flag either issue early.

Treatment planning runs on 3D imaging for implant positioning and 3D facial scanning for smile design, so a proposed result can be shown on screen before anything is prepared. Restorations are produced in the centre's own laboratory, which is what allows the short single visit timelines and same day adjustments to shade or shape. For surgery, the dental division has access to a full operating environment, so demanding cases such as zygomatic implants, sinus lifts and larger bone grafts can be handled rather than referred elsewhere. The wider difference is the hospital grade setting: because International Plus is a multi speciality medical centre, patients with conditions such as diabetes or a cardiac history have medical support in the same building during dental surgery.

The clinic issues international warranty certificates for its restorations and passes on the manufacturer warranties that come with the implant systems, and your coordinator remains the contact point for follow up questions after you travel. Because the length and scope of a guarantee is where medical travel most often goes wrong, get the specifics in writing before you commit: how many years each crown, veneer and implant is covered for, what voids the cover, whether a remake is free, and who pays for flights and accommodation if you have to return. Also arrange a check up with a dentist at home within a few months, and keep your treatment plan, x rays and implant passport, since a local dentist cannot safely work on your case without them.

Start by sending clear photos of your teeth, front on and from each side, plus any recent panoramic x ray or CBCT scan if you have one. The clinic reviews these at no charge and returns a treatment plan with an all inclusive price and a day by day timeline, usually covering the dental work, hotel, airport transfers and interpreter. Message the SmileJet team on WhatsApp or Messenger from this page and we will pass your details across and follow up with the clinic on your behalf. Ask for the quote itemised so you can see what each implant, crown or veneer costs, what is excluded, such as bone grafting that may only be confirmed once you are in the chair, and how long the price is held.
