AST

Is AST a registered dental clinic?

Among the 2,700+ Turkish dental practices in our directory, AST is listed in Turkey as a verified business listing. We confirm only the fields a public record can support: its name, phone number and website. For anything a record cannot support — clinical outcomes, pricing, guarantees — this page shows you how to verify it yourself, step by step.

How do you research a Turkish dental clinic when its city is not listed?

This clinic's public business record does not confirm which Turkish city it operates in, so we list it with a country-level location rather than guessing. That is not a red flag in itself — Google Business records are frequently incomplete — but it does mean your first step is simple: use the clinic's website or phone number to confirm exactly where it is and where treatment would take place.

Once you know the location, the standard checks apply as they would anywhere in Turkey: Ministry of Health registration, a named and licensed treating dentist, a written itemised treatment plan, and a guarantee you can enforce from the UK. Be extra careful with any clinic that is vague about its physical address — legitimate practices state theirs plainly.

What does a proper written treatment guarantee look like?

A meaningful guarantee from a dental clinic abroad is written, itemised and enforceable — not a verbal reassurance in a consultation room. It should state exactly what is covered (implant fixture, prosthetic work, or both), for how long, what excludes cover (smoking, missed hygiene visits, unopposed teeth), and — critically for UK patients — how a problem is handled remotely: does the clinic fund corrective work locally, cover your return travel, or neither? Established clinics answer these questions in the contract itself. If a clinic resists putting its guarantee in writing before you pay a deposit, that tells you more than any review score could.

How should you compare quotes from different Turkish clinics?

Headline prices from Turkish clinics are only comparable once you force them into the same shape. Insist that every quote is itemised: implant brand and model, abutment type, crown or bridge material, the number of appointments and trips required, and whether extras such as extractions, temporary teeth, bone grafting and sedation are included or billed separately. A quote that looks 30% cheaper often simply omits the temporaries and the graft. Getting two or three itemised quotes — anonymously, through a platform such as Offerqo, if you prefer not to hand out your phone number — turns a marketing exercise into a genuine comparison.

How long do you need to stay in Turkey for common treatments?

Trip length is fixed by biology and laboratory time, so treat it as a planning constraint rather than a negotiable extra. Veneers and crowns typically need five to seven days in one visit — preparation, laboratory fabrication, fitting and adjustment. Implants almost always need two trips: around two to five days for placement, then, after three to six months of healing, a second visit of five to seven days for the final restoration. Full-arch cases follow the same two-trip pattern, often with a fixed temporary bridge in between. A clinic promising permanent implant teeth in a single short visit is compressing steps that exist for clinical reasons — ask it to justify exactly how.
