Bachelor in Dentistry

Tuition is 4,100 USD per year.

Dentistry is the branch of healthcare concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and oral cavity. Early coursework typically covers anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and microbiology, providing the scientific basis for later clinical study, which includes subjects such as oral pathology, periodontology, restorative dentistry, oral surgery, and orthodontics. Students usually progress from preclinical laboratory training, where they practice procedures on models, to supervised clinical practice treating patients under faculty guidance. Programs also typically cover radiography, dental materials, and preventive care, reflecting the mix of manual skill and scientific knowledge dentistry requires. Graduates go on to practice as general dentists, often after completing licensing requirements, or pursue further specialization in fields such as orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, or pediatric dentistry. Others move into dental research, public health dentistry, or academic teaching roles. This bachelor's degree in Dentistry is offered by Ankara University, in the city of Ankara, Turkey. The program is taught in English and runs for 5 years, reflecting the extended combination of scientific coursework and clinical training the field requires. Delivering the program in English allows international students to complete a full dentistry curriculum at a Turkish university without first needing Turkish-language proficiency.
