About the Program

Dentistry trains students to diagnose, treat, and prevent conditions affecting teeth, gums, and the broader oral cavity, combining scientific study with extensive clinical practice. Early coursework covers anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and oral biology, building understanding of how oral health connects to overall health. Students then progress through preclinical training in restorative techniques, radiology, and dental materials before moving into supervised clinical work, treating patients under faculty guidance across areas such as endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery, and orthodontics. The clinical component is central to the degree, since dentistry is a hands-on profession requiring precision, manual skill, and sound clinical judgment developed through repeated supervised practice. Coursework also addresses patient communication, ethics, and practice management, preparing graduates for the interpersonal and administrative sides of running or joining a dental practice. Graduates typically become licensed dental practitioners, with many pursuing further specialization in areas like oral surgery or orthodontics after completing the core degree. This program is offered at Istinye University in Istanbul, Turkey, taught in English, as a 5 year bachelor's degree, reflecting the extended clinical training dentistry requires compared to many other undergraduate fields. Istanbul's large population and established hospital and clinical network provide students with a broad range of patient cases during their supervised training. The English-language format is aimed at students seeking an internationally oriented dental education. Across the five years, the program moves students from foundational science through preclinical skills to supervised clinical practice, building the competence expected of a practicing dentist.
