Tanfer Clinic: more details about the clinic

Turkey, Istanbul
Tanfer Clinic is a private dental facility in Istanbul. Founded in 1981 by Dr. Nihat Tanfer, the clinic operates from a three-story building in the Nişantaşı district. The facility includes seven specialized dental units and a dedicated surgery room. A team of seven dental surgeons covers oral, maxillofacial, and aesthetic specialties.

Specialized Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

The clinic has performed dental implant treatments since 1985. Specialists focus on complex cases involving jaw bone loss. In 2012, Tanfer Clinic introduced Osteobioregeneration (Box Technique) to Turkey. This guided bone regenerative method reconstructs lost jaw bone to support future implants.

For patients with complete tooth loss, the surgical team performs the All-on-Four technique. This method secures a full dental prosthesis on four implants placed at specific angles. Patients typically arrive in the morning and receive temporary fixed teeth by evening. Permanent prostheses follow after a three-month recovery period.

The surgical department also treats jaw cysts that originate from teeth or bone. Surgeons remove the entire cyst – not just the tooth – to prevent regrowth within the jawbone. The department handles impacted teeth and complex extractions as well.

Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry

Tanfer Clinic reports a 98% success rate for root canal treatments. This procedure removes damaged pulp and fills the canal with artificial material. If tooth structure is weak, specialists use inlay fillings or crowns to restore function. The clinic has offered porcelain and zirconium crowns since 1990.

Aesthetic procedures include laminate veneers and zirconia restorations. The clinic uses CEREC technology for same-day dental aesthetics. This system creates digital diagnostic models and scans to produce precise restorations in a single visit. Pediatric dentistry is available for children aged 0–13.

Diagnostic and Treatment Technologies

The clinic uses digital tools for accurate treatment planning. Cerec Omnicam scanning creates 3D digital models of the patient's mouth, replacing traditional physical molds. Specialists use the DIAGNOcam system to detect decay without X-ray radiation. For surgical planning, panoramic dental radiography visualizes the entire jaw and tooth structure.

Services for International Patients

The clinic coordinates all logistics for patients traveling from abroad. A representative meets patients at the airport and provides private transportation to the medical center. The team arranges accommodations through partner hotels and assists with check-in. Ambulance transportation can be arranged if medical needs require it.

Support during the stay includes:

  • Translation assistance in English, Russian, Arabic, and German
  • A local mobile phone for 24-hour contact with the clinic
  • Private transfers between the hotel and medical appointments
  • Daily check-ins during the recuperation period
  • Reliable child care services and special dietary menus

The clinic also provides mobility aids such as wheelchairs, crutches, and baby carriages. Staff can assist with local tour and excursion arrangements upon request.

I went to Istanbul for a hair transplant this past February. On my way there I felt a horrible toothache in the aircraft, when I landed I had started searching for a dental clinic. I found Tanfer and sent them an e-mail since it was Sunday and they were closed. On Monday morning their response was there waiting for me. I have had an amazing experience with them so far. I've had several procedures, one emergency root canal and several implants. I did not have much time so they were all done in one day. I am coming back this November to finish the treatment. Mr.Kurtuluş was my point of contact, and he was knowledgeable, very friendly and professional, as were Dr Camile, Dr Zeynep and Dr Çiğdem. The owner himself Dr Nihat Tanfer came to shake my hand while I was laying in the dentist chair, which I thought was most courteous. I'll be writing another review upon the completion of my treatment, but so far they are a five star in my book for outstanding services and professionalism

Visited Tanfer Clinic recently and got top quality service and a great price for the treatment I wish to receive. Having spoken to the surgeon it is clear to see that they are well experienced and know what is needed to be done.

Disappointing Experience at Tanfer Dental Clinic I had a highly frustrating and painful experience at Tanfer dental clinic, Istanbul. After spending over €7,500 for dental implants and crowns, the results were poor, and I encountered multiple complications, including pain, bleeding, and ill-fitting crowns. Despite repeated visits, the issues are still not resolved and I was often blamed for the issues. What was even more disappointing was the unprofessional behavior from some “professionals” at this clinic. When I tried to discuss my ongoing issues, I was met with condescending treatment and a complete lack of empathy. Ultimately, I feel betrayed by the clinic’s lack of care and accountability. I would strongly advise others to avoid Tanfer Dental clinic. The experience has been emotionally and financially draining, and I deeply regret choosing this clinic.

I went to this office over the course of a year. Implants to left upper with extractions, crowns to 2 front upper teeth. Two root canals and crowns to left lower teeth. One thing, over the course of almost a year I noticed is the high rate in turnover of dentists. Some of the dentists I liked and some were terrible. The crowns to the top front upper teeth were done twice. The first time, they were not sealed properly & I felt sensitivity to cold when drinking. She dropped one crown on the floor & it cracked, so she put an unpolished crown in and the color started to change. I complained many times and eventually a dentist listened to me. I really liked this man. He did one of my root canals & crowns & after redid the front crowns. Around the same time, I noticed the material of the implants starting to degrade. It began to feel rough against my tongue.The first time, they hammered it off & sent it to the lab & polished it. It's happening again, so I will leave it and I am resigned to the fact I will have to have the crown piece of the implants replaced. You get what you pay for. This is anywhere in Turkey. If you are quoted a cheap price for crowns, you get cheap, so don't think you are getting this fantastic deal if it's too good to be true. As I said earlier, I liked some dentists in this office & others I didn't. The man I really liked convinced me to get implants to my right lower jaw. He and his wife both worked there. I trusted him and he said his wife had years of experience. I didn't like my experience during the first implants, this is why I was hesitant. I said yes & paid the first portion of the payment of $870. Later I was supposed to pay for the actual crowns themselves. When I came back to get the second root canal, a few days later, he & his wife were gone & had both quit. This horrified me because I didn't want a particular dentist to work on me anymore. I asked for my money back for the implants not yet started after thinking on it for a bit. It happened to fall on a monday when I asked. The man who took my Whatsapp messages was very prompt in answering my messages & keeping me updated on the return of my money. He said I would get my money back, but no day was given when. I then threatened to come down there and not leave until I got my money, so finally on a thursday, I was told by the nice fellow from Egypt to come. After sitting for an hour and a half, I went to the 4th floor walking around trying to find someone. A lady took me to the 3rd floor. Then Sofi (not sure her role in the clinic except to smile and tell you that you look good) came up to me & told me how she was instrumental in getting my money back for me. Sofi is the type of woman, once she gets your payment from you, she will barely acknowledge you after. Not that I really care. Haha. Actually, I find it a little amusing she thinks she is convincing. Then she gives me an envelope with 3200 lira, which was about $200 less than the $870 I gave her. Wow! I was so angry. Believe me, they don't want lira from their patients, so why do they give me lira back? She was trying to steal money from me. After saying this to her, among other things, she said she would be back. Later she comes with $870 and two forms for me to sign. One saying I am requesting my money & I have received it and the other was in Turkish, so I have no idea what it said. After she gives me MY money back, she turns all sweet & asks me why I didn't want the work done. Anyways, I sure wondered why she didn't give me papers to sign when she gave me the Turkish lira. Seems to me, when someone spends thousands of dollars at their business, they should not try to steal from them after. Would I recommend this office? No. Finally, upgrade from the basic crown so you hopefully won't feel roughness later. (Is the material degrading?) I really don't know.Update October 25 2018. One corner of a crown over my implant is crumbling. I don't eat hard food. All the crowns are rough. The material is very weak. I will have to pay again for more. 😾😡
