How your journey with NIVA care unfolds

We make it as simple and personal as possible. Your journey begins at home — before you even have to travel.

  1. You send us your imaging

    For sound advice, recent X-rays (RX) of your teeth are needed — no older than one year. You also take a few photos yourself with your phone.

  2. Video call with the treating specialist

    Based on your photos, we schedule a video call with the specialist. This gives you direct, expert advice from your own familiar surroundings.

  3. A tailored treatment plan, with no obligation

    Based on your imaging and the conversation, the specialist draws up a treatment plan with a transparent price. Entirely without obligation.

  4. A personal conversation with Nico

    Nico calmly goes through everything with you — the plan, the price and all your questions — so you can decide with peace of mind.

  5. Full guidance from A to Z

    Do you decide to go ahead? Then Nico takes care of everything: he books your hotel, arranges local transport and provides a fixed contact who accompanies you personally in Istanbul.

Our dental specialties

Your treatment takes place in a modern, university dental hospital in Istanbul that NIVA care works with. Seven main dental disciplines come together there under one roof, supported by digital dentistry and a team of university-trained specialists (professors and lecturers). Whatever your situation calls for — from a simple filling to a full Smile Design — the right specialist is on site.

01

Aesthetic dentistry & Smile Design

Aesthetic dentistry focuses on a beautiful, natural and healthy smile. With a Smile Design, your smile is fully designed to measure — matching your face, your lips and your personality. A bright smile does not only improve how you look, it often gives your confidence a real lift as well.

What can you come to us for?

  • Smile Design: a complete design of your new smile, visualised digitally beforehand
  • Veneers: thin porcelain shells for an even, white row of teeth
  • Whitening: lightening your teeth safely and professionally
  • Hollywood Smile: a complete transformation with veneers and/or crowns
  • Aesthetic corrections of discoloured, chipped or crooked teeth

Our expertise & focus areas

Thanks to digital dentistry you see a simulation of your result in advance (digital smile design), so you know exactly what to expect. The veneers and crowns are made precisely with modern technology, for a natural result that never looks artificial. Smile Design is multidisciplinary: prosthodontists, restorative specialists and, where needed, orthodontists and periodontists work together on one harmonious end result.

02

Implantology (dental implants)

A dental implant is an artificial titanium root placed in the jawbone, which serves as a solid base for a new tooth, crown or bridge. Implants are the most durable solution for one or more missing teeth — they feel and function like real teeth, so you can eat, talk and laugh without a second thought.

What can you come to us for?

  • Replacing one missing tooth with an implant and crown
  • Replacing several teeth with implant-supported bridges
  • All-on-4 / All-on-6: a complete, fixed row of teeth on four or six implants
  • Bone augmentation when there is too little jawbone
  • Replacing a loose denture with a fixed solution

Our expertise & focus areas

With 3D X-ray (CBCT) and digital planning, every implant is placed precisely and safely. Because of the academic setting of the university hospital, more complex cases — such as limited bone volume — are treated expertly too. Implantology is teamwork: the maxillofacial surgeon places the implant, while the prosthodontist finishes the crown, bridge or denture on top of it.

03

Prosthetic dentistry

Prosthetic dentistry replaces missing or damaged teeth with crowns, bridges or prostheses. The goal: to fully restore your chewing function, your speech and your smile, with a natural, comfortable result.

What can you come to us for?

  • Crowns: a protective cap that fully restores a damaged tooth
  • Bridges: a fixed solution to fill the gap of one or more teeth
  • Removable prostheses (full or partial dentures)
  • Implant-supported prostheses for a firm, stable fit
  • Restoration of a worn or broken dentition

Our expertise & focus areas

Crowns and bridges are made with modern, digital techniques for a precise fit and a natural colour. High-quality materials such as porcelain and zirconium are used, for a strong and aesthetic result. The prosthodontist works closely with the dental technician and, for implants, with the maxillofacial surgeon, so that shape, function and aesthetics match perfectly.

04

Endodontics (root canal treatment)

Endodontics treats the inside of the tooth: the nerve and the root canal. When the nerve is inflamed or infected — often because of a deep cavity — a root canal treatment can save your own tooth and take the pain away. That way you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it.

What can you come to us for?

  • Root canal treatment for an inflamed or dead nerve
  • Persistent toothache or pain with heat, cold or pressure
  • An abscess or inflammation at the root tip
  • Retreatment of an earlier, unsuccessful root canal

Our expertise & focus areas

With modern equipment and magnification, the treatment is carried out precisely and as comfortably as possible. The goal is always to keep the tooth: saving your own tooth is almost always better than pulling it. The endodontist works with the restorative dentist, who rebuilds the tooth neatly afterwards with a filling or a crown.

05

Periodontology (gum treatment)

Periodontology focuses on the gums and the supporting tissue around your teeth. Healthy gums are the basis of healthy teeth: inflamed or receding gums can, if left untreated, lead to loose teeth and even tooth loss. Treating it in time protects your smile in the long run.

What can you come to us for?

  • Bleeding or inflamed gums (gingivitis)
  • Periodontitis: advanced inflammation with breakdown of supporting tissue
  • Receding gums and sensitive tooth necks
  • Professional cleaning and removal of tartar
  • Gum corrections for a healthier smile line

Our expertise & focus areas

A healthy mouth is often the precondition for other treatments, such as implants or veneers. Your gums are therefore thoroughly assessed and treated before an aesthetic procedure. The periodontist works with dental hygienists and, where needed, the implantologist and prosthodontist.

06

Orthodontics (teeth straightening)

Orthodontics corrects the position of the teeth and jaws. Crooked teeth or a bad bite are not only an aesthetic issue — they can also make brushing harder. With braces or clear aligners, you get a straight, functional set of teeth.

What can you come to us for?

  • Crooked or rotated teeth that are out of place
  • A bad bite (overbite, underbite or crossbite)
  • Clear aligners for a discreet correction
  • Fixed braces (brackets) for more complex corrections
  • Teeth straightening for adults and children alike

Our expertise & focus areas

With digital scans and 3D planning, your treatment path is mapped out precisely in advance. The orthodontist coordinates with the general dentist and, for aesthetic journeys, with the Smile Design team.

07

Restorative dentistry

Restorative dentistry repairs teeth damaged by cavities (caries), wear or a fracture. The goal is to preserve your own tooth as much as possible and make it strong, healthy and beautiful again — often with an invisible, colour-matched filling.

What can you come to us for?

  • Fillings for cavities, in a natural tooth colour (composite)
  • Repair of chipped or worn teeth
  • Aesthetic corrections of shape and colour
  • Treatment of sensitive teeth

Our expertise & focus areas

Modern, tooth-coloured materials are used for fillings that are barely distinguishable from your own tooth. The emphasis is on preservation: remove as little as possible, keep as much as possible. The restorative dentist works closely with the endodontist (for root canal treatments) and the prosthodontist (for larger restorations).

08

Paediatric dentistry (pedodontics)

Paediatric dentistry specialises in oral care for children. A positive first experience lays the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth — without fear. The approach is patient, child-friendly and reassuring.

What can you come to us for?

  • Check-ups and prevention from a young age
  • Fillings in milk teeth and permanent teeth
  • Fluoride treatments and sealants against cavities
  • Support for dental anxiety in a child-friendly environment

Our expertise & focus areas

The children's dentist is trained to put children at ease and to approach the treatment playfully and step by step. Early follow-up helps to prevent problems or to treat them in time. The pedodontist works with the orthodontist (for timely dental correction) and with the general dentist.

09

Oral and maxillofacial surgery

This department handles surgical procedures of the mouth and jaw — from extracting a wisdom tooth to more complex jaw corrections. Thanks to experienced surgeons and modern techniques, these procedures are carried out safely and comfortably.

What can you come to us for?

  • Extracting wisdom teeth, even when crooked or impacted
  • Placing dental implants and bone augmentation
  • Jaw corrections (orthognathic surgery) for a misaligned jaw
  • Treatment of cysts, inflammations or jaw injuries

Our expertise & focus areas

With 3D imaging (CBCT), procedures are planned precisely in advance. The academic setting of the university hospital ensures expert care, even for more complex surgery. The maxillofacial surgeon works with the oral and maxillofacial radiology department (for imaging and diagnosis), the implantologist and the prosthodontist: genuinely multidisciplinary care.

10

Oral and maxillofacial radiology (diagnostics)

Good treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. The oral and maxillofacial radiology department produces precise X-ray and 3D images (such as CBCT) of your teeth and jaw, so every plan is based on a complete and reliable picture.

What can you come to us for?

  • Diagnosis of hidden cavities, inflammations or bone loss
  • Planning of implants and surgical procedures
  • Monitoring of your oral and jaw health

Our expertise & focus areas

For a first, no-obligation opinion, recent X-rays (RX) and a few phone photos are enough. All further imaging is done on site, during your treatment in Istanbul.
