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.

When you and your dentist are happy with the fit and appearance of the new crown, it will be fixed in place with special dental cement or adhesive. The cement forms a seal to hold the crown in place.
Your dental health can suffer during your pregnancy. It is also important to look after both your and your baby’s dental health in the early months of your baby’s life to help make sure you both have healthy mouths in the future. There may also be a link between good gum health and good birth outcomes: for example, you may be less likely to have your baby early if you have healthy gums.
The type of treatment depends on the amount of damage to the tooth. Ask your dental team what is the best treatment for you:
- Bonding: This is when a plastic resin is used to fill the crack. It can easily repair a small chip off the biting edge of the tooth. Bonding can restore the shape of the tooth.
- Cosmetic contouring: This is done when the chip is very small. The rough edges of the tooth are rounded and polished to blend away the crack.
- Veneers: These are ideal when there is still a fair amount of tooth remaining, because they are long lasting and need the least amount of tooth removing first. A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain or plastic material made to fit over the front surface of the tooth. Click here for more information about veneers.
- Crowns: These are used for a tooth that is not suitable for a veneer. A crown fits over what is left of the tooth, making it strong and giving it the appearance of a natural tooth. If the nerve has been damaged and becomes infected you may need to have root canal treatment first. This involves removing all infection from the root canal. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any further infections. The tooth would then be fitted with a crown to give it extra support.
Your baby should start teething at around 6 months old and will continue until all 20 baby teeth come through. At around 6 years old, the adult teeth will begin to appear. This will continue until all the adult teeth, except the wisdom teeth, have come through at around 14 years old.
