Frequently Asked Questions About Treatment in Istanbul
Eva Smile & Aesthetics coordinates dental and plastic surgery journeys for international patients. These concise answers explain treatment planning, travel, costs, safety, recovery and aftercare before you request a personalised clinical assessment.
The short answer
Every treatment plan, price, stay length and recovery timeline must be personalised. Online information can help you prepare questions, but only a licensed treating professional who has reviewed the required clinical information can confirm suitability and recommendations.
01
Planning your treatment
How do I begin treatment planning with Eva Smile & Aesthetics?
Start by sharing your goals, relevant health history, current medicines and clear photos; dental cases may also require recent X-rays. A coordinator can then arrange a clinician review, but the final plan is confirmed only after the required medical or dental assessment.
Can my suitability be confirmed from photos alone?
No. Photos can support a preliminary review, but they cannot replace a clinical examination, diagnostic imaging or tests when those are needed. A licensed treating professional must confirm whether a procedure is appropriate for you.
Can the proposed treatment plan change after I arrive?
Yes. An in-person examination or new test result may show that the safest or most suitable option differs from the preliminary plan. Any material change should be explained before you consent to treatment.
How is a personalised treatment quote prepared?
A quote is based on the proposed procedure, clinical complexity, materials or techniques, facility requirements and expected care pathway. Ask for the price, inclusions, exclusions and payment terms in writing before booking travel.
02
Travel and scheduling
How long should I stay in Istanbul for treatment?
There is no single stay length for every patient. The required time depends on the procedure, appointments, healing checks and your clinician's advice, so confirm your itinerary only after receiving a personalised plan.
When can I fly home after treatment?
Fly only when your treating clinician says it is appropriate. The timing varies with the procedure, anaesthesia, recovery and individual risk factors, and your return journey may need specific precautions.
Are flights, accommodation and airport transfers included?
Package inclusions vary. Request written confirmation of whether flights, hotel nights, clinic transfers, airport transfers, companion costs and extra nights are included or charged separately.
Do I need a visa to travel to Türkiye?
Entry requirements depend on your nationality, passport and travel dates. Check the official Turkish government and your own government's travel guidance before paying for non-refundable travel.
03
Safety, recovery and aftercare
Are dental and plastic surgery procedures risk-free?
No medical or dental procedure is risk-free. Appropriate screening, qualified professionals, suitable facilities and clear aftercare can reduce risk, but they cannot remove it; discuss benefits, alternatives and possible complications before consenting.
What health information should I disclose before treatment?
Disclose your medical conditions, previous procedures, allergies, medicines, supplements, smoking or nicotine use, pregnancy status and any past problems with anaesthesia or healing. Complete information helps the clinical team assess risk more accurately.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies by procedure and by person. Your clinician should explain the expected stages, activity limits, wound or oral care, medicines, follow-up schedule and when you may return to work, exercise and travel.
What aftercare is needed when I return home?
Follow the written instructions and scheduled follow-ups provided by your treating team. Contact them promptly about unexpected or worsening symptoms, and use local urgent or emergency medical services when immediate assessment is needed.
Are treatment results guaranteed?
No ethical medical provider can guarantee a specific outcome. Results and healing vary, so ask what outcome is realistic, how progress will be assessed and what the policy is if additional treatment is considered.
04
Dental treatment questions
What assessment is needed before dental implants?
Dental implants normally require an oral examination and appropriate imaging to assess the teeth, gums, bite and available bone. The dentist will also review your health history and factors that may affect healing before recommending treatment.
Are dental veneers suitable for everyone?
No. Veneers may not be appropriate when there is untreated decay, active gum disease, significant bite problems or insufficient healthy tooth structure. A dentist should explain suitable alternatives and how much tooth preparation is proposed.
Will I receive temporary teeth during treatment?
Temporary restorations are available in some treatment plans but not every case. Confirm before travelling whether temporaries are planned, how long they are expected to be used and what care restrictions apply.
05
Plastic surgery questions
Can a plastic surgery diagnosis be completed online?
No. An online consultation can support preliminary planning, but it cannot replace an in-person examination and any required tests. The surgeon must confirm the diagnosis, procedure and consent plan before surgery.
Can several plastic surgery procedures be combined?
Sometimes, but only when the surgeon considers the combined plan appropriate for your health, procedure duration and recovery. A safer recommendation may be to stage procedures separately or decline a requested combination.
06
Costs, coordination and next steps
What should be included in a written treatment quote?
The quote should clearly identify the planned treatment and list included and excluded costs. Ask about consultations, tests, facility and anaesthesia fees, medicines, garments or dental temporaries, accommodation, transfers, aftercare and the policy for changes or cancellations.
Does health insurance cover treatment in Türkiye?
Coverage varies and is often limited for elective cosmetic care. Ask your insurer directly about overseas treatment, required authorisation, exclusions and whether complications or follow-up care at home are covered.
What is Eva Smile & Aesthetics' role?
Eva Smile & Aesthetics provides treatment coordination for international patients in Istanbul. Clinical diagnoses, consent decisions and treatment recommendations remain the responsibility of the licensed professionals who assess and treat you.
