Periapical X-ray in MRV Dental
About the clinic
MRV Dental in Antalya, Turkey, offers digital periapical X-rays to examine a tooth and nearby bone. Its digital sensor emits up to 80% less radiation than classic film-based systems.
The image shows the tooth’s crown and root, surrounding bone, and local infections or lesions. The scan can check for deep cavities, root infections, abscesses, cysts, tumors, fractures, trauma, and root-tip lesions. It may also be used to follow root canal treatment.
Unlike a panoramic X-ray, a periapical image covers one tooth or a small local area, not the whole jaw. The scan usually takes 30 seconds, and the full procedure takes about one minute. The image appears on screen instantly.
No special preparation is needed, and a lead apron is worn. The outpatient scan needs no anesthesia and causes no pain. It is used for children when needed. During pregnancy, it is taken only when strictly necessary, with a lead apron. Imaging is not done at every examination; it is used when indicated by clinical assessment.
MRV Dental is authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Health for International Health Tourism under HealthTürkiye, authorization no. ST-6225. Patients can request this diagnostic through Bookimed.

MRV Dental: more details about the clinic
MRV Dental is a private dental clinic established in 2023 in Antalya, Turkey. The clinic occupies a 1,250 m² facility in the Kepez district. It spans five floors and operates as a multi-specialty center. The facility has eight fully equipped treatment units, including surgical rooms and a dedicated pediatric dental clinic.
Accreditations and Standards
The clinic is authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Health for International Health Tourism services. This includes HealthTürkiye authorization, so the facility meets national standards for treating patients from abroad. The medical team consists of six doctors who consult in English, German, Russian, Arabic, and Turkish.
Dental Implantology and Rehabilitation
The clinic reports a 95% success rate for dental implant procedures. Specialists use metal-free options such as the Z Systems 100% ceramic implant system. They also offer Straumann PURE ceramic implants for patients with metal sensitivities. For full-arch tooth loss, the clinic provides several solutions:
- All-on-4: Uses 4 implants to support a full bridge without bone grafting.
- All-on-6: Uses 6 implants for increased stability in the upper or lower arch.
- Zygoma implants: Anchored in the cheekbone for patients with severe bone loss.
- Same-day implants: Placement of temporary teeth within 48–72 hours of surgery.
Surgeons like Dr. Merve Akalin Karataş plan these procedures using 3D tomography. Final restorations are typically crafted from monolithic zirconia or porcelain-fused-zirconia.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Smile Design
The clinic uses Digital Smile Design (DSD) to create 3D previews of treatment results. Patients can see their future smile before any procedure begins. Cosmetic services include Hollywood Smile makeovers and E-max veneers. The team also performs Cosmetic Bonding – a chairside technique that reshapes teeth with custom-shaded resin in 2–3 days.
Oral Surgery and Pediatric Care
The Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery department is headed by Dr. Anıl Çomruk. He graduated with honors from Hacettepe University. The surgical team manages several complex conditions:
- Jaw cyst removal: Complete excision of lesions with their capsule.
- Sinus lifting: Elevating the sinus floor to create space for implants.
- Impacted tooth extraction: Surgical removal of teeth stuck beneath the gum line.
- Bone grafting: Building up jaw bone density for future restorations.
A separate pediatric unit provides preventive care for children. Services include fissure sealants and fluoride applications. The clinic uses child-friendly communication to ease dental anxiety during treatments like children's root canals.
Diagnostic Technology
The radiology department uses digital imaging to ensure treatment accuracy. Available equipment includes:
- 3D Dental Tomography (CBCT) for surgical and implant planning.
- Panoramic and Periapical X-rays for general dental assessments.
- DIAGNOcam for detecting early-stage tooth decay without radiation.
- Florida Probe – a computer-based system for precise gum disease diagnosis.
- CEREC Omnicam for high-resolution 3D digital impressions.
The lab uses CAD/CAM milling machines to create ceramic restorations with a precise fit.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides all-inclusive support for international travelers. Patients receive VIP airport transfers in comfortable vehicles. Accommodation is arranged at partner 4-star hotels. Multilingual patient coordinators provide translation and assistance throughout the stay. The facility includes a tea and coffee lounge, a playroom for children, and a 350 m² social area.
