What Are Turkey Teeth?
Turkey Teeth is a term used to describe procedures done in Turkey for patients.
The dental treatments are generally dental veneers or dental crowns. But, it covers all the procedures that you come for.
Dental services are affordable, and generally good quality in Turkey.
What Does the Trend ‘’Turkey Teeth’’ Mean?
The trend has emerged in social media highlighting failed dental treatments in Turkey.
These issues are often due to excessive tooth filing, harsh tooth reduction, invasive treatments, or post-treatment complications.
Many social media users have shared their disappointing experiences with dental procedures in Turkey. These dissatisfying results led to the term ‘’Turkey Teeth’’ gaining popularity, especially on TikTok. It has even become a slang term in the UK, symbolizing inferior dental work.
Why Are Turkey Teeth So White?
We enhance the brightness and whiteness of your teeth. But, this is not a standard of high whiteness. We decide according to the color shade scale.
We determine the appropriate shade for dental veneers, crowns, implants and other dental procedures.
At Dentfix, we use a color shade scale that ranges from the lightest shades of white to darker tones, ensuring a natural-looking result.

Are Turkey Teeth Safe?
Yes, turkey teeth are safe in our clinic.
The main priority that patients should do is checking clinics. You should ensure that the clinic is guaranteed, hygienic, and has well-experienced dentists.
Please make sure you search your clinic well to prevent disappointing results.
The Dentfix clinic guarantees to provide you with hygienic and safe procedures.
Are Turkey Teeth Good Quality?
Turkey teeth are good quality depending on the brands clinics use and their labs.
The main features you should first look at are the quality of brands and labs.
We have Nova Dental Laboratory which has advanced technology and is hygienic. We make crowns, veneers, and dentures in our lab for the best dental care, whether temporary or permanent. We use renowned brands and high-quality materials for dental procedures.
Do Turkey Teeth Look Fake?
The teeth done in Turkey can look natural when performed by an expert dentist in a quality clinic.
Our dentist designs your teeth in Nova Lab with a color shade scale to choose the right teeth color for your mouth. So, your teeth appear not fake, but natural.
How to Differentiate Veneers and Crowns
Some patients may be disappointed by misinformation and practices.
When a patient gets dental care in Turkey, they can expect a procedure that keeps their teeth looking natural. They may also consider more affordable and faster options for crowns.
Veneers are thin porcelain layers applied only to the front surface of the tooth after lightly shaving it, providing a natural look and excellent cosmetic results, but they are more expensive than crowns due to the fine workmanship required.
Crowns, on the other hand, cover the entire tooth, require more extensive shaving, and are cheaper and quicker to complete since they involve less intricate work. Crowns can be made from various materials, such as Zirconia, which appears as a white gloss on X-rays.
How to Make Sure You Get the Right Treatment
Before your primary treatment plan is prepared, we will ask you for an X-Ray image of your teeth.
We examine your X-ray to create a detailed plan and prevent surprises. We also review any past treatments you’ve had.
Asking the clinic for X-ray images will help you. If your teeth look white and shiny on the X-ray, this indicates that metal-containing crowns such as zirconia have been applied to your teeth. Laminates, on the other hand, show the natural structure of the tooth on X-rays because they do not contain metal.
As a second step, review and approve your treatment plan in detail before you go to the clinic. If there are any changes to the treatment plan after you arrive at the clinic, the clinic should let you know. This way you will not encounter any unwanted surprises.
Here are some X-Ray images of procedures:

The turkey teeth trend which has gone viral, especially on TikTok, indicates that people regret turkey teeth. Excessive filing and wrong treatments are the main reasons for the bad results. Veneers and crowns require tooth shaving, but doing so can also cause bad results.
Here are some satisfaction videos from our patients:
Are Dentists in Turkey Regulated?
Yes, the Turkish Dental Association and the Ministry of Health oversee dentists in Turkey.
All practicing dentists in Turkey also must comply with stringent standards. They must regularly update their skills through continuous education and professional development programs.
Dentfix Clinic is a certified institution, boasting well-trained and seasoned dentists. They comply with stringent standards and clinics also maintain high levels of hygiene, safety, and quality in our services.

How Long Will Procedures Last?
The lifespan of the result depends on the type of treatment and how well patients maintain their dental hygiene.
Veneers and crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or even more with the right care. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene practices are important for the life of the procedure.

Dentfix changed my smile for good. Hi. Just want to take opportunity to say thanks to Dentfix Turkey for giving me my confidence and smile back, special thanks to Nurcan Kaya, words can’t describe how professional and perfectionist you are, and thanks also to Siyavus Abbaskuluzade for good work done. I came to Turkey so anxious not knowing what to expect, did six implants and crowns, I feel so great now without no pain atm or anything. I will always recommend Dentfix to anyone planning to get dental implants or crowns.
Karl Illich
Best experience ever at a dental clinic I’ve ever had. Doctor Ali is just a professional dentist and did a great job. He doesn’t stop his work until it’s perfect enough for him and for the patients, even it’s already closing the clinic. Also, his priority was to feel no pain and how I said before, he’s a perfectionist in my eyes 👌 My translator mister Tamer was always with me and did a great job too. He is very friendly and helpful. Always knows how to cal me down when I felt a bit scared. I really thank you all the whole team from Dentfix clinic. I just can recommend this clinic and all the services like the accommodation, hotel pick-up and airport transfer, what it was all included in a really good price.
Patricia Philbert
Expert dentistry at Dentfix.
I had the honor of having the friendliest, most compassionate, professional people I ‘ve ever met to assist me with my dental issues. I might be the only person on earth who plans to return to Dentfix just to see the staff. Service was just as awsome and my new smile is even more fabolous than I anticipated.
- The brands are also important. Here are the brands that we use:
- The communication skills will give a hint about the clinic.
- The availability is important to reach out to them for every question. We will be with you 24/7.
- You should research certificates and the medical team. We have the best team in the dentfix clinic.
- Dental treatments in Turkey are affordable, but extremely low prices can be a red flag. Be cautious about your clinic’s affiliates, brands they use, and the quality of the materials they use.
