Bachelor in Dentistry

Dentistry is a clinical field concerned with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, jaw, and oral cavity. A dentistry program typically opens with foundational sciences such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and histology, before progressing into specialized dental subjects including oral pathology, periodontology, restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics, and pediatric dentistry. Clinical training is a core component, giving students hands-on experience with patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment procedures under supervision. Graduates of dentistry programs typically go on to practice as general dentists, pursue specialization through further study in fields like orthodontics or oral surgery, work in public health settings, or move into academic and research roles. This 5 years bachelor's program is delivered in English at Biruni University in İstanbul, Turkey, allowing international students to complete clinical dental training without requiring prior fluency in Turkish. Biruni University is located in İstanbul, giving students access to a large patient population and clinical training environment as part of their studies. Programs of this length combine preclinical theoretical coursework in the early years with progressively more clinical, patient-facing training in later years, culminating in supervised clinical practice. International students considering dental education abroad often weigh the language of instruction, the length of clinical training, and the university's teaching hospital or clinic facilities, all of which shape the quality and depth of hands-on experience gained during the degree.
