Will UK Dentists Work On Turkey Teeth?

In certain circumstances, Yorkshire Dental Suite will treat patients who have had Turkey Teeth or dental treatment abroad. Contact us today.

Many UK dentists will not treat Turkey Teeth. This is because they will then become liable for any future issues that arise. If you have had dental work abroad and find yourself in need of tooth repairs or replacements, you may need to fly back to Turkey for treatment.

Will the NHS work on Turkey Teeth?

Both private and NHS dentists have the right to turn down treatment. While the NHS provides help when deemed a medical necessity, this does not cover botched cosmetic work that has been carried out abroad.

Some clinics, like Yorkshire Dental Suite, can treat Turkey Teeth. However, your treatment options may be limited depending on the condition of your teeth. If the damage is too extreme, there is a possibility that you will be faced with more extreme procedures, such as tooth extraction or dental implants.

The reality of Turkey Teeth

Will UK dentists work on Turkey Teeth? Rarely - and that’s not the only risk of having your teeth done abroad.

In the BBC documentary: ‘Turkey Teeth: Bargain Smiles Or Big Mistake?’, it was found that many clinics in Turkey recommended having treatments that were not needed, leading to healthy teeth being permanently altered. Many patients also received poorly made, ill-fitting veneers, leading to infections, swelling, pain and even tooth removals.

Another finding from the documentary was that information about the long-term commitment of certain treatments were omitted. For example, many patients were unaware that veneers need to be renewed, and didn’t realise the continuous maintenance required to upkeep their smile.

So, while a low-cost dental treatment and nice holiday abroad may seem tempting, just take a moment to consider if the risks are worth it.
