Second Opinion at Antalya Dental Hospital, Turkey
Second Opinion: What Are They, Benefits and Cost
Has dental treatment ever taken you by surprise?
Our Second Opinion Program (SOP) is open to anyone who wishes to have an alternative, honest, and open discussion about a given treatment plan.
Second opinions are valuable when it comes to making decisions that can potentially save you time, effort, or money.
It is only natural that we ask friends and family for their second opinion on almost anything – be it a new restaurant, summer camp for our kids, or even family holidays.
The same applies to our oral health.
Why get a second opinion?
The truth is, there will always be a difference when it comes to treatment proposals and costs. It is important to understand that every dentist is different. We all have unique backgrounds, trainings, and interests. With all these in mind, we believe that it is our responsibility to cut through the confusion and re-establish trust in our profession.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Health
FAQs
Our FAQs are the most commonly-asked questions put to our Dental Helpline over the last year. If you have a question for us, you can ask our Dental Helpline by telephone or email.

Toothache can strike at any time of the day or night, and the pain can become debilitating if not treated quickly. If the cause of the pain is related to the root canal this can make your pain worse at night, since blood pressure in the jaw increases when reclining.
Our Advice: Contact us straight away to arrange an immediate visit. Take painkillers (if required, as prescribed by your doctor). Try to remain in a sitting position.
There are various types of x-ray. Some show one or two teeth and their roots, while others can take pictures of several teeth at once. The most common x-rays are small ones, which are taken regularly to keep a check on the condition of the teeth and gums.
These show a few teeth at a time, but include the roots and surrounding areas. There are large x-rays that show the whole mouth, including all the teeth and the bone structure that supports the teeth. These are called panoramic x-rays.
There are also medium-sized x-rays, which show either one jaw at a time, or one side of the face. There are also electronic ‘imaging’ systems in use today. These use electronic probes instead of x-ray films and the picture is transmitted directly onto a screen.
Book appointments at a time of day when you feel at your best, and when you do not have any other commitments to worry about. Allow plenty of time so that you can get to the practice in a relaxed frame of mind – arriving in a rush will only make you feel more nervous. It is usually best to have something to eat before you go, so there is no chance of you feeling faint while you are in the chair.
A mouthguard will help protect you against broken and damaged teeth, and even a broken or dislocated jaw.
It is important to wear a professionally made mouthguard whenever you play any sport that involves contact or moving objects.
Ask your dental team about a mouthguard. It is a small price to pay for peace of mind.
