Frequently asked questions
How much do tooth fillings cost in Turkey?
White composite fillings at Amazing Smile Turkey cost £80 per filling, regardless of size. This compares with £80-£200 per filling privately in the UK, making Turkey particularly cost-effective for patients who need multiple fillings in one trip.
Are fillings in Turkey safe?
Yes — composite fillings use the same internationally regulated resin materials as UK dentistry. Amazing Smile Turkey uses premium European composite brands and performs all restorations under full dental supervision with sterilised instruments.
How long do composite fillings last?
White composite fillings last an average of 7-10 years in normal use. Back molar fillings under high bite force may wear slightly sooner; very large cavities may be better treated with a ceramic inlay for greater longevity.
Do fillings hurt?
No — composite fillings are placed under local anaesthetic when needed, making the procedure painless. Small surface fillings with no nerve involvement may not need anaesthetic at all. Any post-treatment sensitivity is mild and temporary.
Can I replace my old silver amalgam fillings in Turkey?
Yes — many patients combine their dental trip with replacing old amalgam fillings with white composite. This is a straightforward procedure and multiple fillings can be replaced in a single 1-2 day visit.
How many fillings can I have in one trip?
Multiple fillings can be treated in a single visit or spread across a short 1-2 day stay in Antalya. Your treatment plan will outline the number of appointments needed based on the extent of the work.
Will my fillings match my teeth?
Yes — composite is shade-matched to your natural tooth colour using a shade guide. Well-placed composite fillings are virtually invisible in photographs and daily life.
When should I choose a crown instead of a filling?
A crown is recommended when more than half the tooth structure is lost to decay or fracture, when a tooth has had root canal treatment, or when a filling would leave walls too thin to support normal chewing. Your dentist will advise at assessment.
How long after a filling can I eat?
With composite fillings, you can eat as soon as the anaesthetic wears off (1-2 hours). Composite sets hard immediately under the curing light, unlike old amalgam which needed 24 hours to harden fully.
What is included in the UK patient package?
The filling package includes the composite restorations, local anaesthesia, a pre-filling professional clean, consultations and X-rays. Airport transfers and hotel accommodation are included when combined with other treatments.
