Location & Getting There

City: Eskişehir, in northwestern Turkey, is a lively, student-friendly city with trams and a compact center.

• Fastest route from Istanbul or Ankara: Turkey’s YHT high-speed train takes about 2 hours 50 minutes to 3 hours 10 minutes from Istanbul, and about 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes from Ankara.
• Airports: Eskişehir Hasan Polatkan Airport (AOE) has limited or seasonal routes. Many visitors fly to Istanbul Airport (IST), Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), or Ankara Esenboğa Airport (ESB), then take the YHT. Zafer Airport (KZR) is another regional option, about 1.5–2 hours by road.
• Local transport: Licensed taxis, trams, and buses are convenient. Hotels or clinic staff can arrange pickups.

Patient Experience

• Time-efficient plans: Many single crowns and veneers can be completed in about 1–3 days. Implant cases often follow a two-visit plan, with surgery first and final teeth after healing.
• Clear estimates: Written treatment plans explain materials and timelines in everyday language.
• Comfort & follow-up: IV sedation is available when appropriate, and post-op checks can be scheduled around trains and flights.
