Understand the treatment before you agree to it
Every treatment page here says what the procedure involves, how many visits it usually takes and what its limits are — so the conversation in the chair starts from an informed question.

Frequently asked questions
Where does Dt. Cebrail Sağlam practise?
In Alanya, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, in the Antalya province. Alanya has a large resident population of expatriates alongside seasonal visitors, so appointments are commonly held in English as well as Turkish.
What treatments are covered on this site?
Eight areas of general and cosmetic dentistry: cosmetic work such as veneers and composite bonding, oral surgery including implants, crowns and bridges, orthodontics, root canal treatment, gum treatment, preventive check-ups and everyday restorative care. Each has its own page explaining what the treatment involves.
Do I need a referral to book a dental appointment in Turkey?
No. Dental care in Turkey is accessed directly — you contact the practice and book. Bring any recent X-rays or treatment records you have; they save time and sometimes save a repeat scan.
How many visits will my treatment take?
It depends entirely on the treatment. A hygiene visit or a simple filling is usually one appointment. Veneers, crowns and bridges normally take two to three, because the laboratory work happens between visits. Implants are spread over months, since the bone needs time to heal around the implant. Each treatment page gives the usual range.
Is treatment carried out in English?
Alanya’s patient population is international and consultations are routinely held in English. If you would prefer another language, say so when you get in touch so it can be arranged in advance.
What happens at a first appointment?
An examination and, where needed, an X-ray, followed by an explanation of what was found and which options exist. Nothing irreversible is done at a first visit unless you are in pain and want it dealt with straight away.
