Dental treatment guidance and coordination platform
Dental Anchor helps international patients prepare for dental treatment in Istanbul. We organise your case, explain what a treatment plan is actually proposing, and publish the framework we use to judge a clinic — so you can apply it yourself, to us or to anyone else.
Before launch. Preliminary planning and guidance are available now. The first clinics we work with are being confirmed, and case review by a partner dentist begins once they are.
Dental Anchor is not a dental clinic. Clinical assessments, diagnoses and treatments are provided by licensed partner clinics and dentists in Türkiye.

Preliminary plan
You do not need to know the name of a procedure. Tell us what you notice — a gap, a loose denture, a tooth that keeps breaking — and we will set out the directions worth discussing and what a dentist would need to see next.
Takes a few minutes. No diagnosis, no obligation, and you see your preliminary pathway before we ask for contact details.
Step 2 · Affected area
Select individual teeth, a whole arch, or tell us you are unsure. The full map is keyboard accessible and works alongside a plain list of regions.
Where people start
Whether it is a single gap or several, the options depend on the bone available, the neighbouring teeth and what you want long term.
May involveDental Implants,Dental Bridges,Full-Mouth Implants
Fixed options exist for people who find removable dentures difficult, though suitability varies considerably from person to person.
May involveFull-Mouth Implants,Dentures
Teeth that are broken, worn or repeatedly repaired may be restorable, or may be better replaced. That decision needs an examination.
May involveCrowns,Root Canal Treatment,Tooth Extraction
Changing how front teeth look can involve removing tooth structure that does not grow back, so it is worth understanding the alternatives first — whitening and bonding remove none of it.
May involveTeeth Whitening,Composite Bonding,Veneers
Gum disease is the reason cosmetic and implant work fails. It is treated first, because everything else is built on top of it.
May involveGum Treatment
When several concerns overlap, treatment is usually planned across the whole mouth rather than tooth by tooth.
May involveSmile Makeover,Full-Mouth Implants
How it works
You describe your situation in your own words and share whatever records you already have.
We set out the treatment directions that may be relevant, and — just as importantly — what a dentist would still need to see.
Your organised case file goes to the clinic. This is the point where clinical judgement enters the process.
The clinic sets out what it proposes, what it includes, what it excludes and what it costs.
Scheduling, timings and what to expect on each visit, so nothing about the trip is a surprise.
Aftercare questions do not stop when you land back home, so neither does the line of communication.
Our standards
Dental Anchor works with one carefully selected clinic per treatment area rather than a directory. That only means something if the selection is rigorous, so here is what we check.
See Our Selection StandardsTravelling for treatment
Case organisation
Your photographs, records and priorities collected into one file the clinic can actually work from.
Communication
One named advisor who keeps questions moving in both directions, rather than a shared inbox.
Appointment coordination
Scheduling arranged around your treatment sequence and the time you have available.
Travel and accommodation guidance
Practical guidance on timing, distances and what to plan for. Guidance, not booking.
Aftercare communication
A route back to the clinic once you are home, and someone to escalate to if answers stall.
Flights
Booked by you. Dental Anchor does not arrange or sell travel.
Accommodation and transfers
Arranged by you or, where offered, by the clinic. We will tell you clearly which applies.
Translation during treatment
Provided by the clinic where available. Confirmed before you travel, not assumed.

Choosing a clinic
The checks you can make yourself before committing to a clinic in Istanbul — Ministry of Health licensing, the health tourism authorisation most patients have never heard of, dental chamber registration, and what a straight answer looks like.

Costs and quotes
A quote missing the right line items is not a cheaper quote. What a complete written treatment plan from an Istanbul clinic should set out — including currency, exclusions and what a package price hides.

Common questions
A preliminary plan costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It simply gives you a clearer picture of the options and the questions worth asking next.
