Dentsun

Patients from Edinburgh are increasingly choosing Antalya, Turkey for their Oral Surgery needs. At Dentsun Dental Center, we understand the unique concerns of international patients and have streamlined our process to make your dental journey seamless — from initial consultation to treatment completion and follow-up care.

An apicoectomy removes the tip of a tooth's root along with infected tissue when a root canal alone cannot resolve the infection. It saves the tooth by eliminating the source of infection.

Procedure Steps

  1. 1Pre-surgical imaging
  2. 2Local anesthesia
  3. 3Root tip removal and retrograde filling
  4. 4Suturing
Recovery Time:1-2 weeks
Average Cost:$500-$1,500

Patients traveling from Edinburgh for Apicoectomy often find that the total cost of treatment plus travel and accommodation in Antalya is still substantially less than the treatment cost alone in their home country. With Dentsun Dental Center's dedicated patient coordination team, the entire process is smooth and stress-free from your first enquiry to your follow-up care.
