The cost of a smile makeover in Turkey typically ranges from $2,300 to $3,200. Pricing depends on the treatment plan—such as the number of veneers or crowns, the material used (zirconia, E-max, composite), and the dentist’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $22,500 (according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry). This means a smile makeover in Turkey can be about 88% less than in the U.S.
Turkish clinics usually include the initial consultation, digital smile design, X-rays, anesthesia, tooth preparation, placement of veneers or crowns, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the procedure itself, with separate charges for diagnostics, anesthesia, and aftercare. Always confirm what each clinic’s package includes before booking.

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.
As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.
In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
