Bachelor in Dentistry

Dentistry covers the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and oral cavity, combining biomedical sciences with clinical training in restorative, surgical, and preventive dental care. Coursework typically begins with anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry before progressing into clinical dentistry, covering areas such as oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics, supported by supervised clinical practice. Graduates become licensed dentists working in private practice, hospitals, or public health settings, and may pursue further specialization through postgraduate training. This bachelor program runs for 5 years in English at Ankara Medipol University in Ankara, Turkey. The extended five-year structure reflects the combination of preclinical science coursework and hands-on clinical training required for dental practice. The English-medium instruction is intended to support students seeking to practice or pursue further specialization internationally as well as within Turkey. Ankara, as a major Turkish city with several medical institutions, provides a relevant clinical training environment for dental education.
