In their words

Quoted word for word from public reviews

The doctors explained everything very well. My case was a little complicated, and they honestly told me some of the treatment I had asked for wasn’t needed. They did everything to explain what was necessary and what was not. All the equipment is up to date.

★★★★★
Kamila M. · Kazakhstan

I’ve just come out of surgery for seven implants in the lower jaw and everything went perfectly. I was very stressed, and the surgeon and his assistant were extremely patient. They don’t take risks; they’re true professionals. For anyone who is afraid, I recommend this clinic 100%.

★★★★★
Stéphane N. · France

After my All-on-6 implants I had to return, and the team organised my second visit beautifully. My dentist’s English was excellent, so there was no need for a translator. The new clinic is very well organised and clean, with truly professional staff. Very happy with my choice.

★★★★★
Kalina Y. · United Kingdom

From the first impression, outstanding. A reception gleaming with cleanliness, and a team that was professional and always friendly. The result was sensational. The philosophy of this clinic is more than sound. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

★★★★★
Timo G. · Germany

Going abroad for treatment is always complicated. I hesitated, I was anxious, but in the end I’m delighted. So meticulous, so precise, so invested in their work. My dream of having a beautiful smile again came true. I recommend this clinic more than warmly.

★★★★★
Kra K. · France

Very professional, caring and humble staff. They provide the best service to make sure you feel valued and in good hands.

★★★★★
Pegah R. · Iran

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the time you dedicated and for the exceptional result. I recommend them with complete confidence.

★★★★★
Moise M. · Romania

A spotlessly clean clinic. After a bad experience years ago I had a serious dental phobia, and thanks to my dentist I overcame it. Genuinely skilled dentists who truly understand how a nervous patient feels.

UK aftercare

Aftercare you can walk into, not just an email address

Meet a UK partner dentist for a pre-examination and have your treatment plan confirmed before you book a single flight.

After you're home

Feel something that needs attention? You are seen in person at one of eight UK partner treatment centres, resolved quickly, close to home.

Questions & answers

Everything patients ask before they fly

Real questions from patients we've met, and clear answers, from safety and aftercare to travel and cost.

Safety & trust
Is dental treatment in Turkey safe?
Yes, when you choose a licensed clinic with qualified dentists and proper protocols. Risk is set by the provider, not the country. A licensed Istanbul polyclinic works under Ministry of Health supervision to international standards.
Is your clinic licensed and inspected?
A fully licensed oral and dental health polyclinic in Istanbul, with Ministry of Health facility licence, international health-tourism authorisation and operating permit, all shown on this site.
Are your dentists qualified?
Surgeons, prosthodontists and aesthetic specialists with decades of combined experience; the dentist who plans your treatment performs it.
Are the implant and material brands genuine?
Yes. Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Ivoclar and GC. The brand and batch of what we place is documented for you.
How do you handle sterilisation and infection control?
Strict sterilisation and single-use protocols in line with international standards; instruments are sterilised and traceable.detail to confirm
Do events in the wider region affect treatment in Istanbul?
Istanbul sits over 1,000 km from any regional conflict zone, and daily life continues with a normal European rhythm. Your treatment and travel are unaffected.
Before you decide
Do you provide a 3D CBCT scan, including bone density?
Yes. Every implant patient receives a full CBCT scan before treatment. The surgeon assesses bone volume, quality, anatomy and suitability.
What if the scan shows implants may not succeed?
Patient safety comes first. If a treatment isn't suitable or predictable, we discuss alternatives and never proceed with something not in your best interest.
Will I get a written plan before I travel?
Yes. A written plan with treatment, cost and what's included, confirmed at your pre-consultation and finalised after the in-person exam and CBCT in Istanbul.
Can I have a video consultation first?
Yes. Sharing recent X-rays or photos lets our team give early guidance before you commit to travel.
Could my plan change once I'm examined?
Any change is discussed and agreed with you before anything proceeds, never applied silently.
The treatment
Titanium or zirconia implants?
We offer both; titanium is the most widely used and researched system worldwide. The best option is decided with you based on your case.to confirm
Is implant surgery painful?
Placement is under local anaesthesia and shouldn't be painful; the first days may bring mild swelling, well managed with medication. More on implants →
How do you confirm healing before final teeth?
Healing typically takes 3 to 6 months; implants are then checked clinically and radiographically to confirm they've integrated and are stable.timing to confirm
Is there an age limit?
No upper age limit. Suitability is set by bone structure and general health, not age. More →
Do I always need a bone graft?
No. Your CBCT shows what's possible; where bone is lacking, grafting or a sinus lift can rebuild it. More →
Travel & logistics
How many days and how many visits?
Implants are usually planned over two trips; veneers often in one visit of about 5 to 7 days. Your schedule is set after examination. Travel guide →days to confirm
Can I stay longer if I prefer?
Of course. Many patients choose a longer stay, and we're happy to arrange it.
What's included: hotel, transfers, interpreter?
One coordinator handles airport pickup, a hotel near the clinic, private transfers and an interpreter at every appointment.
When can I fly after surgery?
Short flights are usually fine soon after routine placement; after a sinus lift your dentist advises a waiting time. We plan flights around your treatment.
Aftercare & continuity
What if I have a problem after I return home?
You're seen in person at one of eight UK partner treatment centres, resolved quickly, close to home.
Is there a pre-consultation in my own country?
Yes. Meet a UK partner dentist for a pre-examination and confirm your plan before booking a flight.
How is follow-up done after I go home?
Your dentist stays reachable, remote photo check-ins can be arranged, and in-person review is available through the UK partner network.
I have another condition (e.g. arthritis), is healing discomfort normal?
Some conditions can make you more sensitive while healing, which doesn't necessarily mean a problem. Follow your aftercare; if pain worsens or you develop swelling or fever, contact us or a local dentist.
Guarantee, insurance & price
Do you provide a written guarantee?
Yes. Your treatment is covered by a written guarantee on the work we carry out.term & scope to confirm
Is my treatment insured?
Yes. Your treatment is protected by insurance.scope to confirm
Is the price fixed, any hidden costs?
The price you're quoted is the price you pay: agreed in writing before you fly, no add-ons at the chair, no surprises at checkout.
How much can I save?
International patients often save significantly versus UK/EU prices for equivalent work.figure to confirm
How and when do I pay?
Payment terms are set out in your written plan before treatment.terms to confirm
