FAQ

  • How much will I save?
  • Savings will be anywhere between 50-70% compared to the costs in CANADA, USA, EU and UK.
  • How is it possible to save 50-70% on treatment at HTT Medical Group ?
  • Treatment is provided in Izmir, Turkey, where property costs are lower and dentist salary levels are more competitive than in the EU, UK, US and Canada, all of which translates into bigger savings for our patients. But just because dental salaries are more competitive in Turkey doesn’t mean that our dental specialists don’t rival their EU, UK, US and Canada counterparts in terms of quality and performance.
  • We are a large practice, so we buy dental equipment and supplies in large amounts. Dental product suppliers are happy to give us discounts that we can then forward on to our patients.
  • We purchase only the best in terms of dental equipment, but we don’t shell out on unnecessary frills. That’s why you won’t find talking dental chairs and Persian rugs in our center. What  you will find is a high-tech, modern and comfortable environment.
  • We don’t spend big sums on unnecessary marketing. Most of our clients find us by word-of-mouth or through agents.
  • We mean to be green. We do our best to be sustainable, not just environmentally, but also economically and socially.
  • How much money can I save? Can you give an example?

Let’s take a typical case. Let’s say your dentist in Canada tells you that you need 12 crowns or units of bridgework at $800 per unit. That’s a whopping $9,600. But with HTT Medical Group in Izmir, that would cost just $3,000. If you were to add even 10% to that to cover any unforeseen extras, that would still total just $3,300. Anyway you cut it, that represents huge savings of over $6,300 on the Canadian price. 

  • How can I pay for my treatment?

You can pay in cash in Canadian Dollars (CAD), US dollars ($), Euros (€), British pounds (GBP), Turkish Liras (TL) or by any major credit card such as Visa or MasterCard. HTT Medical Group does not charge any commission for transactions by credit card.

  • How long do I have to stay in Turkey?

Usually for a week. Some treatments may require more time, in which case the patient may be advised to stay for roughly 10 days. Treatments that might require extra time include fixed-detachable case and implant construction (including a second operation and construction), but this is usually only necessary for additional treatments in Turkey. One week is normally more than enough for most crown and bridge work. Implants require an eight- or nine-day stay (if stitches are removed in Izmir), with a return visit lasting around six days, about four to six months after initial treatment.

  • What kind of treatments can be completed in one week?

One week is enough time if treatments are planned and performed by expert hands. Barring any complications, our expert dentists can complete full set crowns/veneers, implants and some fillings. Such treatment however, also depends on the amount of inflammation in the mouth cavity and how the patient reacts to treatment. Patients will receive a treatment plan after their first consultation with the dentist.

Note: In the event that a tooth is extracted but extra work is still required, additional treatment will only be conducted after sufficient recovery time for the patient.

  • Do the clinic’s doctors and assistants speak English?

Our assistants speak several languages, including English,French, Dutch and German. If you need translators, our authorized translators will assist you.

  • What are your guarantee policies?

We provide a written guarantee for inlays, crowns, bridges (3 years), full and partial dentures (2 years), fixed-detachable case and implants (10 years/ Lifetime), fillings (1 year). Naturally, the guarantee is only valid at HTT Medical Group and if the work is conducted there in the form of an annual check-up. Please click the Guarantee link for more information.

  • What kind of materials are used for dental treatments in Turkey?

HTT Medical Group in Turkey uses the same materials as in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, USA, Canada and other highly developed countries. Please click the Brands link to see some of the brands that we use in our clinic.

  • What happens if I’m allergic to certain kinds of metal?

The most frequent metal allergies occur from nickel and palladium. However, these two metals have not been used in dental treatments for the past seven years. However, if you are allergic to other metals, please inform your dentist. The most common alternative is bio-gold (BIOCCLUS 4 by Degussa, Germany).

BIOCCLUS 4 includes 85.8% gold (Au), 0.5% zinc (Zn), 11.0% platinum (Pt), 0.3% tantalum (Ta), 1.7% indium (In) and 0.7% rhodium (Rh).

  • I have amalgam fillings and I’d like to have them removed. Can I get that done in Turkey as well?

Yes. The Clean-Up-System, which is common in Europe, US and Canada is used at our clinic in Turkey as it is the most effective method on the market. After the removal of the amalgam filling, there are various treatment options available: depending on the size of the cavity, a new light-hardened filling, inlay or crown can be made.

  • I’d like to preserve the body of the tooth but I need a crown. What should I do?

In such a case, golden crowns with a porcelain cover are the most logical solution. We use BIOCCLUS 4-gold-alloy by Degussa.

  • Do I need any special insurance?

You will be covered by HTT Medical Group Circle of Guarantee which is FIX at home FIX at abroad.

Please let us know if you want to read of Guarantee Terms and Conditions.

  • I have a chronic medical condition. Will it be a problem if I come to Turkey?

Not necessarily. Still, depending on your type of illness, it is recommended that you consult your doctor to request a letter stating your medical condition before embarking upon dental treatment with us. It is crucial that our dentists are informed about any illnesses, medication and other relevant details as soon as possible, so that we can offer you the safest and most suitable treatment.

Medical tourism is the term given for individuals seeking treatment abroad. This also includes the leisure aspects typically associated with travel and tourism. Medical tourism is a very old concept, but only recently have more and more people started to take advantage of this popular alternative for health care needs.

There are many reasons to travel abroad for medical procedures. The core factors are:

Cost savings High quality care Minimum waiting lists Opportunity to combine surgery with vacation time Specialty treatments Opportunity to see a new country

Main reson is the balance betweenTurkish Lira to Euro, Dollar, Sterlin and some other currencies. Turkey has a lot to offer to medical tourists. The cost of treatment is a large factor, but more important is the quality of care – devoted and experienced specialists are the heart of medical tourism in Turkey. The country attracts millions of tourists every year to see the beauty we have to offer including the best preserved and intact medieval city in Turkey,Izmir. Medical tourists now have the opportunity to see Turkey from one more angle  – from inside the operating theater.

The cost of medical care in Turkey is primarily impacted by the lower cost of living and lower physician fees. Turkish hospitals and clinics use the same high quality diagnostic and surgical equipment as the hospitals overseas do.

First of all, As HTT Medical Group, we are in health travel since 1984.
