Bachelor in Dentistry

Tuition fees are 5,000 USD per year.

Dentistry prepares students to diagnose and treat conditions of the teeth, gums, and oral structures through a curriculum that begins with basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology, and microbiology before progressing into dental-specific subjects including oral pathology, periodontology, orthodontics, and restorative dentistry. Students build practical skills through laboratory work with dental models and instruments, followed by supervised clinical training in which they treat patients under faculty supervision, covering procedures such as fillings, extractions, and preventive care. The program develops both technical manual skills and clinical judgment needed to manage patient care from diagnosis through treatment. Graduates typically go on to licensure and practice as dentists in private clinics, hospitals, or public health settings, and some pursue further specialization in areas such as orthodontics or oral surgery. This is a 5 year bachelor's degree taught in English at Istanbul Okan University in İstanbul, Turkey, reflecting the extended clinical training required in dental education.
