DentaTur explains all you need to know about Turkey Teeth

All you must know about Turkey Teeth: The latest dental treatment trend

Published: Mon 3 Apr 2023, 8:55 AM

Turkey Teeth is one of the latest trends in dental treatment that has gained worldwide traction, especially on social media. People from across the world, especially the UK, go to Turkey for the treatment. In this article, DentaTur, an Antalya-based dental clinic, has explained what 'Turkey Teeth' is along with its benefits and disadvantages.

From the first time you meet someone, their bright and confident smile gives a better impression of the person. Investing in a good dental treatment to enhance your smile always makes sense. That's because you only have one chance to make a great first impression.

However, some people would go to any extent to get the ideal smile. These people include those who spend a lot of money on expensive dental treatments. They even leave their home and visit countries like Turkey where they can get the best dental treatment which is affordable.

Nowadays, it is very common to see a social media celebrity gleaming brightly with similarly dazzling teeth done in Turkey. Reality TV personalities such as former 'Love Island' contestants Jack Fincham and Katie Price have also played a key role in popularising the Turkey Teeth trend. Initially fuelled by just decreasing pricing, the trend is currently continuing to rise in a variety of ways. People really like how quickly their smiles may be transformed with the Turkey Teeth treatment. However, not everyone had a happy ending with the treatment. Some dental procedures and smile makeovers have led to regret and disappointment.

If you are one of those individuals who want to acquire the perfect smile by going through the treatment, you must first understand what Turkey Teeth is, as well as its benefits and disadvantages.

What exactly is Turkey Teeth?

Turkey teeth is a fad in which individuals fly to Turkey to acquire crowns, which requires shaving the teeth to over 70 per cent to get that ideal smile at a considerably lower cost than similar dental operations in nations such as the UK.

However, the term 'Turkey Teeth' is most typically used sarcastically to describe a negative experience with dental treatment in Turkey.

In truth, Turkey Teeth is a dental procedure that involves filing down a person's natural tooth and then placing crowns or veneers on top.

When you undergo the treatment, your teeth are generally extremely white and completely square in form.

Though many millennials desire Turkey teeth, the phrase is used cynically, meaning that patients forego their natural and healthy teeth in order to obtain false but attractive ones.

Extreme tooth filing, forceful tooth reduction, invasive therapies, or problems are to blame.

The word originated on social media platforms such as TikTok, where users shared their stories.

Turkey Teeth's pros and cons

The term 'Dental tourism' refers to the practice of travelling to a foreign nation to have a dental operation performed. Turkey is one of the greatest destinations to visit for dental care. Many people, particularly in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, have had remarkable success with their dental surgeries at a far lower cost. The cost of Turkish cosmetic dentistry is substantially lower and can be as low as one-fifth of the cost of dental operations in the UK. Social media influencers are particularly interested in having their smiles transformed.

TikTok will reveal several influencers who have had cosmetic dentistry in Turkey if you search for the tag Turkey teeth.

However, Turkey Teeth has various drawbacks. BBC News conducted a survey of 1,000 UK dentists, 597 of whom stated that they have treated patients who had difficulties after visiting Turkey for dental procedures. While some people choose veneers, which entail filing a tiny portion of the tooth, the majority opt for crowns, which require the removal of over 70 per cent of the teeth.

The disadvantages include:

  • Pain that is intense and lasts a long time
  • Nerves that are exposed are vulnerable to infections
  • Teeth decay
  • Teeth that are too sensitive make eating and communicating difficult
  • Inadequately fitting veneers (or crowns) cause sensitivity, plaque, and gum disease
  • Veneers (or crowns) that are not properly blended come off
  • If left untreated, gum infection can spread to the sinuses and possibly the bones
