Ever Questioned Where You Should Really Go for Dental Treatment Abroad?
Turkey has become one of the most searched destinations for dental tourism. But when the treatment is complex, the destination should not be chosen only by price, trends or social media promises. Your smile, your bite, your bone structure and your long-term oral health deserve a plan that is precise, realistic and built around you. That is why many international patients choose Lisbon.
Our team has completed over 1,500 Teeth in 1 Day cases and works with high-aesthetic ceramic solutions, including 100% zirconia restorations, designed for strength, function and facial harmony.

Because dentistry should enhance, not erase individuality.
Before Choosing Turkey, Ask the Right Questions
Ask Us About Your CaseWhen comparing dental treatment abroad, price should never be the only deciding factor. Before choosing any destination, ask yourself:
- Who will be responsible for my treatment plan?
- Will my case be digitally planned?
- What materials will be used?
- What happens if I need to return?
- Will the result suit my face, or will it look generic?
- Is the clinic controlling the full process?
- Will I receive proper support before and after treatment?
At Le Art Clinic, we believe complex dental treatment should be planned with transparency, precision and long-term responsibility.
What is Teeth In 1 Day?
Teeth in 1 Day is an advanced oral rehabilitation surgery that allows the patient to receive fixed teeth within 24 hours. In simple terms, this protocol consists of:
- Removal of diseased teeth and structures that can no longer be preserved.
- Placement of dental implants during the same surgical session.
- Fixation of a fixed provisional prosthesis on the same day, restoring immediate function and aesthetics.
This innovative technique provides immediate results, significantly reducing waiting times and the discomfort associated with traditional implant rehabilitation methods.
Who is Teeth in 1 Day suitable for?
This treatment is ideal for people with:
Uncomfortable or unstable removable dentures.
Difficulty chewing and smiling with confidence.
Facial ageing or loss of soft tissue support.
Multiple missing teeth or severely compromised teeth, looking for a fixed and definitive solution.
- Previous separate treatments that never truly resolved the problem.
- A preference for an integrated treatment plan designed to reduce travel, overall treatment time and uncertainty.
What is Aesthetic Dentistry with Ceramic Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin layers of ceramic or composite resin applied to the teeth to improve their appearance. They are an ideal solution for correcting aesthetic imperfections such as discolouration, misalignment, small fractures or gaps between teeth, creating a more harmonious and natural-looking smile.
Types of Dental Veneers
Ceramic VeneersComposite Resin Veneers
Who are dental veneers suitable for?
Dental veneers are ideal for:
Immediate correction of colour, shape, minor rotations and gaps
A natural appearance with high durability
A minimally invasive procedure
Immediate resultLess down timeAesthetics and function from day one.
Precise Digital Planning for Safer Surgery
3D tomography allows us to study the anatomy, bone structure and sensitive areas in detail before any clinical decision is made. In treatments such as dental implants, full-mouth rehabilitation and complex cases, this helps us plan with greater accuracy and perform procedures with increased safety.
More complete diagnosis than 2D imaging
More precise planning for implantology and oral rehabilitation
Greater predictability in complex cases
Support for safer clinical decisions
3D CBCT scan & digital planning
Surgical Room & Sedation
For complex procedures, the right environment matters. Our clinic includes a medical-grade surgical setting, with sedation available when clinically indicated.
Environment prepared for surgical procedures
Greater comfort for patients with anxiety
Dedicated team support and structured protocols
Surgical suite & sedation
Less Pain, Greater Comfort
In the surgical suite, intravenous medication allows for more effective control of pain and anxiety, with less need for oral medication and reduced gastric impact.

In-House Laboratory
We use a complete digital workflow — from intraoral scanning to 3D software planning and the production of dental restorations in our own in-house laboratory, integrated within the clinic.
This workflow is essential for immediate loading treatments, such as Teeth in 1 Day, as well as advanced Aesthetic Dentistry cases, including ceramic veneers.
With direct communication between the clinical team and the laboratory, we can adjust aesthetics and function in real time. All of this translates into:
- Less waiting time and fewer appointments
- Greater precision and predictability
- More durable dental structures
- Better aesthetic control in advanced rehabilitations
In-house digital dental laboratory
We Make Your Trip Easier
Travelling for dental treatment can feel overwhelming. That is why we support international patients beyond the clinical appointment.
Our team can help you understand the process, organise your schedule and prepare for your visit to Lisbon.
Not satisfied with treatment at another clinic?
Many of our patients come to Le Art Clinic after having treatment at other clinics, in Portugal or abroad, and feeling that the result did not meet their expectations.
We may be able to help if:
- You have had dental implants or Teeth in 1 Day treatment and still experience discomfort, difficulty chewing or insecurity when smiling.
- You are unhappy with the aesthetics: colour, shape, size or alignment of your teeth/prosthesis.
- You feel you did not receive clear explanations about what was done or about the available correction options.
During the assessment consultation, we analyse your case carefully, explain what is happening and present realistic options for improvement or rehabilitation.
