Bachelor in Dentistry

Dentistry prepares students for clinical practice in oral health, covering the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting teeth, gums, and the surrounding structures of the mouth. The curriculum typically begins with foundational sciences such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and microbiology before progressing into dental-specific subjects including oral pathology, radiology, restorative dentistry, periodontics, and oral surgery. Clinical training forms a substantial part of the later years, with students treating patients under supervision to develop practical skills in diagnosis and treatment planning. Graduates become licensed dentists working in private practice, hospital dental departments, or public health settings, and some pursue further specialization in areas such as orthodontics or oral surgery. This bachelor's program runs 5 years and is taught in English at Istanbul Nişantaşı University in İstanbul, Turkey. The extended five-year structure reflects the combination of scientific foundation and extensive clinical training required for dental practice. Studying in İstanbul gives students access to a large patient population and varied clinical case exposure within a major metropolitan healthcare system. The English-medium format supports international students pursuing a dental qualification with a globally applicable scientific foundation, progressing from preclinical sciences to hands-on clinical rotations by the end of the program.
