Istanbul, Turkey — 2 to 4 Days, One Visit

Root Canal Treatment in Turkey

Keeping Your Own Tooth Is Still Better Than the Best Replacement for It.

The treatment with the worst reputation in dentistry, and the least deserved. Done properly — under a rubber dam, under magnification, with the canal system actually cleaned rather than rushed — it is comfortable, it takes two to four days, and it saves a tooth that would otherwise come out. From €100.

The Treatment

What a Root Canal Actually Is

It is not a procedure done to a tooth so much as a cleaning of the space inside it. The soft tissue in the middle of the tooth has died or become inflamed; it is removed, the narrow canal system left behind is disinfected and shaped, and the space is sealed so bacteria cannot re-enter. The tooth stays where it is, in your jaw, doing its job.

Root Canal Treatment

The tooth is numbed and isolated behind a rubber dam — the sheet that seals it off from saliva, and the strongest predictor of whether the treatment holds. The pulp is removed and the canal system cleaned, shaped and disinfected under magnification. Molars often have four canals, sometimes five, and a missed one is the commonest reason a root canal fails. The system is then sealed and the tooth rebuilt.

Needed when

The pulp inside the tooth is irreversibly inflamed or has died — from deep decay, a fracture, repeated fillings or trauma. Often with pain or swelling, but not always.

What it costs · Typical timeline

Quoted per tooth: a front incisor with one canal and a lower molar with four are not the same treatment. The crown that protects it afterwards starts from €150.

  • Rubber dam on every case — not optional, not sometimes
  • Canals located and cleaned under magnification
  • A crown or onlay afterwards — root-treated teeth fracture unprotected
  • Retreatment considered before extraction
  • An honest answer when the tooth cannot be kept

Dt. Ömer Reşat Gültek

Implant Dentistry

Born in Bandırma in 1995, Dr Ömer Reşat Gültek studied at İnegöl Mediha Hayri Çelik Science High School before turning to dentistry — and he still thinks like a materials scientist. Which ceramic, which technique, which protocol for this particular tooth: those are the questions he takes seriously, and they are why his root canal treatments hold. What patients mention, though, is the manner. He explains as he works, he does not rush, and a single filling gets the same attention as a full arch.

Cost Transparency

Root Canal Cost in Turkey, With or Without a CrownCosts Less Than Replacing It.

Root canal treatment is €100 per tooth, and retreating an earlier canal is €90. If the tooth needs a crown afterwards, a zirconia crown adds €150, making €250 for a fully restored back tooth. Compare that combined figure with typical costs abroad, shown below, before your plan is confirmed.

Root canal treatment and retreatment are quoted per tooth after an X-ray. Crown and implant rows are our starting prices in euro; UK, German and US figures are indicative, not quotes. Replacing a tooth means an implant and a crown, not one or the other. A post and core is quoted separately.

Why Turkey

Is It Worth Having a Root Canal in Turkey?

If you are already coming for other work, or if the alternative you have been offered at home is extraction, then yes. If you are in pain right now, see someone locally today — we will say that plainly rather than have you fly with an abscess. The test of a clinic here is the same as anywhere: rubber dam, magnification, and a willingness to attempt saving the tooth.

Unmatched Case Volume

Difficult canals found daily rather than occasionally is how endodontics gets good.

Root Canal Pathway

Saving the Tooth From the Inside

Root canal treatment removes infection so the tooth can stay — and usually leads to a crown.

  1. Diagnosis

    Heat, Biting and X-Ray

    Lingering sensitivity or pain on biting, confirmed on X-ray, points to a root canal.

  2. Cleaning

    Canals Shaped and Disinfected

    Fine files follow each root to its tip, irrigants flush out bacteria, and gutta-percha fills the space — if infection is heavy, medication sits inside for a week first.

  3. Rebuild

    Crown to Prevent Fracture

    A root-treated tooth becomes brittle, so a crown usually follows during the same stay.

  4. Follow-Up

    A Later X-Ray

    Mild tenderness fades within days; a follow-up image confirms healing.

Root Canal Treatment FAQs

Root Canal Treatment: Saving an Infected Tooth

How root canal treatment works, why it often leads to a crown, and what recovery looks like.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp, the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels, from inside a tooth. The canals are then cleaned, disinfected, shaped and sealed, which stops the infection and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted.

Root canal treatment is usually needed when decay or a crack reaches the pulp. Typical signs include lingering sensitivity to heat or cold, pain when biting, swelling of the gum, or an infection visible on an X-ray, although some infected teeth cause no symptoms at all.

Keeping your natural tooth is generally preferable when it can be saved, as it maintains your bite and avoids the need for an implant or bridge. Extraction may be advised if the tooth is too badly damaged to restore after root canal treatment.

What Comes Before and After

A root canal rarely stands alone: the tooth needs protecting afterwards, and where it cannot be kept, replacing. Each of those treatments has its own page with the materials, the timeline and the price set out in full.
