Ruslan's Need for Comprehensive Dental Work

Ruslan's dental restoration journey started with a crucial realization—he needed extensive dental work. It was daunting. The medical, financial, and emotional implications were significant. At home, high costs and long wait times added to his anxiety. He also knew how his compromised smile impacted his self-esteem and social interactions. Finally, he was ready to take the first step.

It wasn't just about aesthetics; it was about his quality of life. Driven to reclaim his confidence, Ruslan turned to the internet to explore other options.

Pavlo Joins the Adventure?

"I brought a friend along, and we both cashed in."

Making firm decisions inspires others, especially when a great deal is part of the equation.

Motivated by Ruslan's decision, Pavlo, his close friend, also opted to explore dental treatment options for himself. 

Bookimed Crafts Personalized Dental Plans

Ruslan navigated the possibilities of receiving care abroad.  Inspired by positive dental implants in Turkey reviews and dental success stories, Ruslan reached out to Bookimed, which is renowned for its effective dental referral program.

"I received a message about the referral program and sent my personal link to a friend - and BOOM. We jetted off to Izmir."

Turkey welcomes around 2 million health tourists yearly and the number continues to grow. A considerable number of dental tourists are from Europe and the Middle East.

Once Ruslan came across Bookimed's medical tourism affiliate program - he immediately thought of his friend Pavlo, who was also planning a dental transformation. Then, their joint journey began.

Bookimed was crucial in aligning Ruslan and Pavlo's treatment plans with their needs. For Ruslan, the plan included extensive work: extractions, 12 Neodent implants, and, later on, crown placement. For Pavlo, the focus was on upper jaw implants. 

A tailored approach ensures that both friends receive optimal care per their specific dental conditions during the same timeframe.

"That's right - we got paid for getting our teeth done! It's like a dental vacation that puts money in your pocket."

With Bookimed's Referral Program, Ruslanreferred his friend Pavlo, who booked a €2,970 procedure. Ruslan earned 5% of Pavlo's bill—€155—while Pavlo received a €100 discount on his treatment.

To join, use a friend's referral link, book a procedure over $1,000, and complete it. Ruslan earned $100 cashback, credited directly to his bank account after payment. After your treatment, you can refer others and earn more rewards.

The best dental affiliate programs, like the one offered by Bookimed, provide an easy way to generate income while promoting trusted dental services and a wide range of other medical treatments.

Journey to Izmir: A Shared Expedition

"If you're thinking about any procedure, why go alone when you can bring a friend and both win?"

Ruslan and Pavlo's trip to Izmir was meticulously planned. They were provided with comfortable accommodations in a 4-star hotel. This ensured a relaxing and pleasant stay.

The program also managed all their transport needs. It included airport-to-hotel and hotel-to-clinic transfers. This seamless logistics support allowed friends to focus on their treatment. They did not have to worry about navigating a foreign city. 

On top of everything, having each other's company made the experience much easier and more comforting. 

Treatment at WestDent Clinic

At WestDent Clinic, both friends underwent their dental procedures. Ruslan's comprehensive treatment aimed to restore his dental function and aesthetics, while Pavlo's procedure focused on enhancing his upper jaw with high-quality implants. Their experiences at WestDent added to the clinic's reputation for dental implant success and patient satisfaction.

I am very grateful to Bookimed for their help in choosing a clinic in Turkey. It was very important for me to be able to get help, advice and just human support. Special thanks to the doctor-coordinator named Olga. For her accompaniment, for advice, for the opportunity to discuss all the risks and fears, for the opportunity to just chat. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Thanks to West Dental. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail. The meeting at the airport, the interpreter, the staff, the check-in at the hotel. Thank you to the doctors who have golden hands, the interpreter - psychologist, all the staff of the clinic. I still passed the first stage, but very difficult, the installation of 6 implants.
