About This Treatment

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.

Duration

1-2 hours for deep cleaning; surgical procedures 1-3 hours

Stay Required

3-5 days (up to 7 for surgical procedures)

Visits

1 visit (1-3 appointments depending on treatment scope)

Materials

Ultrasonic scalers (EMS, Cavitron), Hand curettes (Gracey, Hu-Friedy), Collagen membranes (for grafting)

Typically Included

  • Comprehensive periodontal examination
  • Full-mouth X-rays or panoramic scan
  • Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
  • Local anaesthetic for comfort
  • Post-treatment care instructions
  • Follow-up appointment to assess healing

Not Usually Included

  • Surgical gum procedures if needed (gingivectomy, grafting — quoted separately)
  • Flights and travel insurance
  • Ongoing maintenance cleanings at home

Good Candidates

  • Patients with bleeding, swollen, or receding gums
  • Those diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontitis
  • People with deep gum pockets (4mm or more)
  • Patients with exposed tooth roots from gum recession
  • Anyone needing gum treatment before implants or other restorations

Risks & Considerations

  • Gum sensitivity and mild discomfort for a few days after deep cleaning
  • Teeth may feel more sensitive to temperature as gums heal and recede slightly
  • Surgical procedures carry a small risk of infection if aftercare is not followed
  • Gum disease management is ongoing — treatment abroad addresses current disease but maintenance continues at home

Should I Get a Dental Assessment Before Booking Abroad?

Yes. Getting a dental assessment before booking treatment abroad is the single most important step to avoid surprises, overpaying, or choosing the wrong clinic. A proper assessment maps your exact dental needs so clinics can prepare for your case in advance — rather than diagnosing everything after you arrive.

Without an assessment, most dental tourism patients receive a rough quote based on a single X-ray or a brief WhatsApp conversation. Treatment plans then change on arrival when the clinic discovers additional work is needed — leading to unexpected costs, extended stays, or rushed procedures.

  • Know your treatment needs before comparing clinic prices
  • Avoid bait-and-switch pricing — your case is documented upfront
  • Clinics receive your full case file before you arrive, so they can plan properly
  • Reduce risk of complications from rushed or poorly planned procedures

MyDentalFly's free dental assessment takes 5 minutes. You mark your teeth, answer health questions, and upload photos or X-rays. Our clinical team reviews everything and generates your personalised Dental Health Report with real clinic prices — before you commit to anything.

What Is a Dental Health Report?

A Dental Health Report (DHR) is a free preliminary treatment plan generated from an interactive dental assessment. You mark which teeth have issues on a visual dental chart, answer health and lifestyle questions, and optionally upload a photo for AI smile analysis. The report maps your symptoms to recommended treatments with estimated costs and matched clinics.

What's included in a Dental Health Report:

  • Interactive dental chart with marked teeth and symptoms
  • Recommended treatments based on your specific conditions
  • Estimated costs in your local currency (GBP, USD, EUR, AED)
  • Matched clinics with real prices for your treatment plan
  • Savings comparison versus home country prices
  • Flags for potential extras (bone grafts, sinus lifts) if applicable

Unlike a clinic quote — which is typically based on a single X-ray and a brief conversation — a Dental Health Report captures your full dental picture before any clinic sees your case. This means clinics can provide accurate treatment plans rather than adjusting prices after you arrive.

How to Compare Dental Clinics Abroad

Most dental tourism patients contact 3 to 10 clinics individually, receive quotes in different formats, and struggle to compare them. A structured clinic comparison tool lets you view up to 3 clinics side by side — comparing prices, materials, guarantees, and included services on equal terms.

What to compare when choosing a dental clinic abroad:

  1. Treatment prices — per-tooth costs, not just package totals
  2. Materials and brands — e.g. Nobel Biocare vs generic implants, zirconia vs porcelain crowns
  3. Guarantees — length of warranty and what it covers
  4. What's included — CT scans, temporary teeth, hotel transfers, aftercare
  5. Clinic credentials — accreditations, dentist qualifications, patient reviews
  6. Treatment timeline — number of visits required, total days needed abroad

MyDentalFly is the only platform that lets you compare up to 3 clinics side by side — with real treatment plans, verified pricing, and clinical assessments reviewed before you fly. No other dental tourism site offers this.

What Happens Before You Arrive at the Clinic?

With most dental tourism agencies, very little happens before arrival. You receive a quote, book a flight, and the clinic takes X-rays and creates a treatment plan on your first day. This means the clinic is diagnosing, planning, and treating in the same short visit — which is why complications and patient dissatisfaction occur.

A better approach is pre-arrival case preparation. Before you travel, the clinic receives your complete case file: dental chart, health questionnaire, photos, and preliminary treatment plan. The clinic reviews your case, confirms the treatment plan, and is fully prepared when you walk through the door. This means:

  • No wasted time on arrival — the clinic already knows your case
  • Fewer treatment plan changes after you've already committed
  • The right materials and lab work ordered in advance
  • A dedicated point of contact who knows your situation

With MyDentalFly, your clinic receives your full dental profile before you arrive — dental chart, health assessment, photos, and X-rays. Your treatment plan is confirmed with real pricing. No surprises on Day 1.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do gum treatment cost in Turkey?

Gum Treatment in Turkey typically cost £50-£120 per treatment. This is significantly less than the UK average of £300.

Is Turkey safe for gum treatment?

Yes. Turkey is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.

How long do I need to stay in Turkey for gum treatment?

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.

What is the difference between a regular cleaning and deep cleaning?

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.

Is deep cleaning painful?

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.

Can gum disease be cured?

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.

Which Turkish city is best for dental treatment?

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.

How long do I need to stay in Turkey for dental treatment?

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.
