Good Look Clinic
The cost of a composite filling in Turkey typically ranges from $100 to $200. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the dentist’s experience, and the number of teeth treated. In the United States, the average cost is $400 (per ADA). This means composite fillings in Turkey are about 50% less than in the U.S.
In Turkey, the price usually covers the initial consultation, pre-op assessment, local anesthesia, the composite material, post-op instructions, a follow-up visit, and a personalized treatment plan with English-speaking staff. In the U.S., the base price often includes just the filling, with separate charges for exams, anesthesia, and follow-ups. Always confirm what’s included at your chosen clinic.

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.
