Tooth Fillings in Turkey: Cost, Procedure & Patient Reviews
A tooth filling repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay, wear or minor fracture, restoring its shape, function and appearance. At Amazing Smile Turkey, all fillings are tooth-coloured white composite — the same resin material used in UK NHS and private dentistry — fitted at £80 per filling, compared with £80-£200 privately in the UK.
Why composite over amalgam
White composite fillings are the modern standard for tooth restoration, having largely replaced silver amalgam in cosmetic and private dentistry across the UK, Ireland and Europe. Composite is a mixture of resin and finely ground ceramic or glass particles that bonds chemically to the tooth structure, which means less healthy tooth tissue needs to be removed than with traditional amalgam, which relies on mechanical retention in an undercut preparation. Composite matches the natural colour of the tooth so precisely that well-placed fillings are invisible in normal conversation and photographs. It also insulates the tooth against temperature changes more effectively than metal amalgam. Amazing Smile Turkey uses premium composite brands from established European suppliers for all restorations, and each filling is placed, shaped and polished in the same appointment, with a bite check to ensure the restoration does not interfere with the opposing teeth.
Tooth Fillings Before & After in Turkey
Who needs composite fillings
Composite fillings are suitable for treating cavities caused by dental decay in any tooth, replacing worn, cracked or chipped enamel, repairing minor fractures from trauma or biting on hard objects, and replacing old amalgam fillings that have begun to leak, corrode or cause aesthetic concerns. Small to medium-sized cavities and chips in visible front teeth are ideal candidates for composite, as the material can be sculpted and layered to mimic the translucency and texture of natural enamel extremely closely. Very large cavities, particularly in heavily loaded back teeth, may be better treated with a ceramic inlay or onlay for greater strength, or a crown if more than half the tooth structure is affected. Your dentist at Amazing Smile Turkey will assess each tooth individually and recommend the most durable and aesthetic option based on the size of the defect and the chewing forces involved.
How composite filling treatment works
Composite filling treatment at Amazing Smile Turkey starts with a clinical and X-ray assessment to identify all areas of decay and map the extent of each cavity. Local anaesthesia is used for any filling that is close to the nerve, making the procedure completely painless. The decay is removed with a dental handpiece or air abrasion, and the cavity walls are etched and treated with a bonding agent to maximise the adhesion of the composite. The composite is then placed in thin increments, each hardened with a blue LED curing light for 20-40 seconds, until the restoration is built up to the correct height and anatomy. Final shaping with fine burs and polishing wheels brings the composite to a smooth, natural-looking surface. Bite paper is used to check the occlusion before you leave; any high spots are adjusted immediately. Most fillings take 20-40 minutes per tooth.

My journey started with a meeting with Oj and Can in Belfast. Everything was organized incredibly smoothly! ✨ Upon arriving in Turkey, driver Kadir greeted me with a big smile and great warmth. He drove me from the hotel to the clinic and back every time – always on time, smiling and friendly 😊 At the clinic, I received a warm welcome from Can and Oj. I also met Batu, who always welcomed me and saw me off – a very friendly guy! I got to know the entire team and I can honestly say that I was treated like a friend, or even like a family member ❤️ A huge thank you to my wonderful dentist Gamze and nurse Humeyra! 🙏 Gamze is an outstanding specialist in her field. She works until she achieves perfection – and that perfection is my new smile! 😁✨ Big respect to the clinic owner for putting together such an amazing and warm team. I highly recommend Amazing Smile Turkey to anyone who needs a new smile or even the smallest dental treatment! 💯
Amazing service from day 1. Very caring and great communication throughout. Onur is there 24/7 to help with any problems at all and always explains in good detail. Best service in Antalya and amazing results. Would highly recommend 5*+
Initially, My wife and I had a meeting in Leeds. We found Onur and the team very friendly and knowledgeable. She was advised that 'all on 6 was the best option for top and crowns to match for bottom. Everything was explained and the price was affordable(20k cheaper than uk) so we arranged our first visit. On arrival, we were picked up at airport and taken to our hotel. We were given pick up times and were always picked up on time. Treatment started the following day, impressions were taken and some teeth extracted. Bone grafting and sinus lift were necessary. This process was pain free thanks to injections, pain killers were prescribed for her comfort over the next few days. We returned for implants and crowns to be fixed. Time was taken to reassure her throughout the whole process and the whole team were very friendly and approachable the whole time. Onur was available and willing to talk and explain everything during the whole process. The price given at initial meeting in Leeds didn't change, which I know isn't the case at some of the other dentists in Turkey. She now does have an amazing, natural looking smile and is enjoying eating things she hasn't been able to for some time. We were left feeling like friends rather than clients. Would 100% recommend Amazing Smile Turkey.
From start to finish the service was second to none really professional company looked after us really well more than happy with my new teeth we had the pleasure of having Onur as our representative he treated us like family brought us every where we needed to go the doctors were top class service would highly recommend🦷🇹🇷
Onur very helpful, the service was very professional
So much care took in my opinion the best dentist I have ever been to ! And would quite happily come back for check ups. Lovely hotel and met so many nice people.
How long composite fillings last
Well-placed composite fillings in low-to-medium load positions last an average of 7-10 years before they may need refreshing or replacing, though many last considerably longer with good oral hygiene. Back molar fillings, which bear the highest biting forces, may wear slightly faster than front-tooth restorations. Composite does not conduct electricity or temperature as dramatically as amalgam, which improves comfort, but it can absorb staining from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking over time — particularly at the margins. Regular polishing during check-up appointments helps maintain the surface texture and shade. Large cavities occupying more than one third of the biting surface are better treated with a ceramic inlay for greater longevity, and your dentist at Amazing Smile Turkey will advise if this applies to any of your teeth at the assessment stage.
