If you’re finding it tricky to receive affordable yet basic dental work, like fillings, back home in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, it might be time to take advantage of the lower prices abroad while enjoying a fab holiday to Alanya in Turkey.

Dental fillings here in Alanya, Turkey are around a third of the price you’ll pay at home, and while that might not add up to huge savings, every little helps, especially given the fact you’ll be skipping the long waiting lists to see an NHS dentist back home.

Private dental care in the UK and those sky-high prices are simply not an option for most of us, particularly families who are faced with dental bills of a few hundred, or even a few thousand, every year for everyday dentistry.

For a family of four, routine check-ups with scaling and a few fillings can easily add up to four figures, making it all the more cost-effective to see a dentist while on holiday in Turkey.

Fillings are generally required to restore the anatomy of a tooth that has been damaged due to decay or trauma.

Direct fillings are used in cases where the filling material needs to be placed directly onto the tooth; these can be made from:

• Composite resin
• Resin Ionomer
• Amalgam
• Glass Ionomer

Indirect fillings, normally made in a dental laboratory, are cemented onto or into the crack in a tooth; these can be made from:

• Ceramic (porcelain)
• Gold Alloy
• Base metal Alloy

• Dental veneers
• Diagnostic tests, such as CT scanning
• Scaling
• Nightguards
• Professional cleaning, polishing and scaling
• Laser teeth whitening
