How many crowns do you need?
Gum treatment encompasses a range of procedures designed to treat gum disease (periodontal disease) and restore gum health. The most common starting point is deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, which removes tartar and bacteria from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to help gums reattach to the teeth. For more advanced cases, surgical options may be needed. Gum grafting takes tissue from the roof of the mouth (or uses donor tissue) to cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession. Gingivectomy removes excess or diseased gum tissue to reduce pocket depths where bacteria collect. Flap surgery lifts the gums to access and clean deep tartar deposits, then repositions them snugly around the teeth. Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth. Untreated gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes complications, and other systemic health issues. Treatment abroad often appeals to patients who need extensive work that would require multiple costly appointments at home.

You'll typically need to stay 3-5 days (up to 7 for surgical procedures) in Turkey. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gum line. Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) goes below the gum line to remove bacteria and tartar from the tooth roots, treating the underlying gum disease.
Local anaesthetic is used, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some tenderness and sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal. Over-the-counter painkillers are usually sufficient.
Early gum disease (gingivitis) is fully reversible with proper treatment and hygiene. Advanced periodontitis can be managed and controlled but not completely reversed. The goal is to stop progression and maintain what you have.
Istanbul has the most clinics and the widest choice — best for complex cases and patients who want multiple options. Antalya is popular for patients combining treatment with a beach holiday, with purpose-built resort-style clinics. Izmir is quieter and often slightly cheaper. All three cities have excellent dental infrastructure and qualified specialists.
Crowns and veneers: 5–7 days. Dental implants: 7–10 days. All-on-4 full arch: 7–10 days for the first trip. Root canals and extractions: 2–4 days. Complex cases involving bone grafts typically require two separate trips 3–6 months apart. Clinics provide a personalised day-by-day schedule based on your treatment plan.
