Bachelor in Dentistry

Dentistry is the branch of healthcare focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and oral cavity. The curriculum combines basic sciences such as anatomy, histology, and microbiology with dental-specific subjects including oral pathology, periodontology, orthodontics, and restorative dentistry. Students progress from preclinical simulation work to supervised clinical practice, treating patients under the guidance of experienced faculty. Training also covers radiography, dental materials, and the use of specialized instruments and equipment used in general and specialist dental practice. Graduates are prepared to work in private dental clinics, hospital dental departments, public health services, or to pursue further specialization through postgraduate study. This bachelor's program runs for 5 years and is taught in English at Istanbul Medipol University in İstanbul, Turkey. The program benefits from the university's affiliated clinical facilities, giving students consistent exposure to real patient cases. Studying dentistry in İstanbul places students in a large urban setting with a substantial patient population, supporting a broad range of clinical experience during training.
