YOUR TREATMENT GUIDE
Understand Why Surgery Is Being Considered
Surgical dentistry covers different procedures with different purposes. Start by identifying the problem being addressed, then ask how the proposed procedure fits the wider treatment plan and the care you will need after it.
01
A defined purpose
Ask what the procedure is intended to achieve and how that follows from the assessment.
02
The right sequence
Keep the surgical stage separate from any later implant or restoration appointments.
03
A recovery plan
Agree the instructions, review arrangements and contact route before the appointment.
Start With the Reason for Surgery
Ask the treating clinician what the assessment has found, why a procedure is being considered and which alternatives may be relevant. A surgical treatment should have an explained purpose in the overall plan, not simply appear as an extra line in a package.
If more than one procedure is proposed, ask about the sequence and how each stage affects the next. Clarify the clinician responsible, the consent discussion and the information you will receive before and after treatment.
Sinus Lift Surgery
Sinus augmentation concerns the upper back jaw where the position of the sinus and available bone can affect implant planning. A clinician may consider a procedure to create more bone in that area. Suitability, technique and timing require an individual assessment.
Bone Grafting and Ridge Augmentation
Ridge modification can address an area of insufficient bone. The clinician should explain the proposed graft material, why it is being considered and whether it changes the implant schedule. The fact that grafting is offered does not mean every implant patient needs it.
Complex Extractions
Some extractions require a surgical approach. Discuss the position of the tooth, the reason for removal and the relevant risks, including infection or injury to nearby structures. Ask what alternatives are relevant and which postoperative instructions apply to the actual procedure.
Planning and Imaging
The clinic has CBCT 3D imaging and an intraoral scanner. Ask which investigations are needed for your case, how they support the proposed treatment and what findings could change the plan.
How Much Does Surgical Dentistry Cost in Turkey?
Ask for a written quotation that describes the proposed treatment rather than comparing a price without its scope. The document should identify the work included, the materials or implant systems where relevant, investigations, temporary and final stages, the proposed visits and the aftercare arrangements.
Separate treatment costs from travel, accommodation and transfers. Ask which services are included, which are optional and what happens if the examination changes the plan. A lower headline amount is not enough to establish that two quotations cover the same care.
How Many Visits and How Long in Istanbul?
Discuss the clinical sequence before making travel commitments. Ask which stages happen on the first visit, what must be reviewed before a later stage and what would happen if the schedule needs to change.
Your plan should distinguish appointment time from the total stay and identify any later visit. Request a clear explanation of the assumptions behind the proposed dates. The general six-step journey is a guide to coordination, not a fixed clinical timetable.
Aftercare, Records and Written Terms
Ask which checks are planned before you leave Istanbul, which records you will receive and whom you should contact after travelling home. Medico Clinic has active aftercare partners in London and Pennsylvania. Confirm whether a named partner is relevant to your case and how appointments will be arranged.
Discuss the difference between planned follow-up, unexpected problems and any written warranty. The location of a partner does not establish free or unlimited services. Keep a copy of the agreed plan and ask for any unclear responsibilities or costs to be explained.
The Team Involved in Your Treatment
Visit the doctors hub to see the named members of the Medico Clinic team. Ask who will assess your case, perform each stage and coordinate your follow-up.
Give Each Procedure a Clear Purpose
A wider dental plan may include a surgical step before restorative work. Ask which finding makes the procedure relevant, what it is intended to achieve and how it changes the next stage. The explanation should relate to the area being treated.
If several surgical procedures are proposed, have them described separately. An extraction, a graft and a gum procedure should not disappear inside one broad package line. Understanding each purpose makes it easier to ask about alternatives, sequence and costs.
Preparation and Consent Belong to the Treating Team
Ask for the clinical explanation and preparation instructions from the team responsible for your case. Share health information and medicines through the approved clinical process, and clarify any uncertainty before the appointment.
A general website guide can introduce the questions but cannot set your personal surgical instructions. The consent discussion should address the proposed procedure, relevant risks, alternatives and what might lead to a change in the plan.
Surgery and Restoration Need a Coordinated Schedule
Ask how the surgical and restorative stages fit together and who will review readiness for the next step. If the treatment is staged across visits, the plan should identify the purpose of each appointment and the findings needed before travel dates are confirmed.
Keep additional procedures visible in the quotation. If an examination changes the extent of work, request a revised description of the treatment, schedule and cost before deciding.
Plan the Handover Around the Actual Procedure
Before leaving the clinic, obtain the agreed review arrangements and individual aftercare instructions. Ask who is responsible for a concern during the Istanbul stay and how the contact route changes after you travel home.
If a partner is involved in follow-up, confirm the records needed and the limits of the agreed service. The fact that a location is an aftercare partner does not specify every surgical review or additional treatment it can provide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does every implant patient need bone grafting?
No universal requirement is established here. Ask the clinician what the assessment shows and why any preparatory procedure is being proposed.
Can surgery and implants happen on the same visit?
The sequence depends on the individual assessment and approved protocol. Do not assume a same-visit plan from a general treatment description.
Which surgical treatments are listed by Medico?
Medico Clinic’s surgical dentistry includes sinus lifts, bone grafting, complex extractions and gum surgery.
What should the quotation include?
Ask for each proposed procedure, investigations, materials, clinical stages, visits and follow-up terms to be identified, with any possible changes explained.
How do I arrange aftercare?
Confirm the appropriate clinician, written instructions, contact route and any partner involvement before treatment and before departure.

Different Procedures, Different Planning Questions
| Decision | What to clarify | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Tooth removal | The reason for extraction and any options for retaining the tooth. | The extraction decision should be clear in its own right. |
| Bone preparation | The finding behind a graft or sinus procedure. | Additional surgery should have a defined role in the plan. |
| Gum treatment | The exact procedure and the reason it is being considered. | Appearance concerns and clinical problems may need different approaches. |
| Combined treatment | Which stages are dependent on recovery and reassessment. | The sequence can affect your appointments and travel. |
Your Recovery Planning Checklist
- Written instructions specific to the actual procedure and the contact to use if symptoms concern you.
- The date, location and purpose of the first review, including any arrangements for sutures.
- A clear answer about travel timing from the treating surgeon before you confirm your itinerary.
- A treatment summary and a separate schedule for any later implant or restorative stage.
General information to help you prepare for a dental consultation. Your diagnosis, options and treatment plan require an individual clinical assessment.
