Braces for teens in Ankara: Best Clinics and Costs 2026

I decided to seek treatment with dentist Ela Cabuk after reading reviews so I'm hoping this review will help in the same way for another undecided person in making a sound choice,. I found her expertise professionalism and compassion to ones needs a true relief. I had receding gums on my top four front teeth and the roots were exposed, my own thought were to just get 4 on 4 but Ela found the perfect solution in restoring and firming my four front teeth without going to the extreme. I would recommend her any day, I could not fault my treatment or my outcome.

I recently returned from my second trip to WestDent Clinic in Izmir, Turkey. In September 2025 I had full mouth extractions, 12 Zirconia implants placed (6 upper jaw, 6 lower jaw), gums stitched over the implants to help Osseointegration of the implants. I returned in January 2026 for the final stage treatment and the installation of 24 Zirconium crowns. This involved the implants being revealed. The healing caps of the implants being removed and temporary abutments fitted so impressions could be taken of my gums, upper and lower jaws. This is so the implants will fit perfectly when my new teeth had been designed with the aid of C.A.D. The abutments were then removed and healing caps replaced onto the implants. Next day my permanent abutments were installed and I was given some temporary teeth which placed onto my abutments, and could be removed. They were made of a foul tasting material called PMMA. But it gave a good idea of the final results, even though they were a greyish colour. The final day my permanent teeth were checked rigourously for bite adjustment, gaps, spacing, alignment etc, before being placed permanently. My second visit was a five day stay, and involved visiting the Clinic each day, and a couple of longer days towards the end. But I am extremely pleased with the final results and have had so many great reactions and comments about my new teeth, especially how natural and real they look. But I have to say big Thanks to my medical coordinator at Bookimed, Dr Kora. By booking my trip to WestDent Clinic in Izmir through Bookimed, it completely removed the added stress of having to organise all of the logistics of the trip on my own. Dr Kora was extremely helpful and efficient in helping to organise and arrange everything with the Clinic on my behalf. Also answering any questions or concerns I may have had at any point, over the two trips. For which I am extremely grateful!

I categorically do not recommend this clinic. My experience of installing 17 Emax veneers, 8 zirconia crowns, and 3 implants turned into a disaster due to professional negligence and misleading information. From the first day I arrived at the clinic, there was complete disorganization! 1. DECEPTION IN THE OFFER AND IN REALITY: The offer featured a doctor with 14 years of experience and an American PhD, prominently displayed in their advertising. In reality, the treatment was performed by a 27-year-old doctor (a recent graduate). I only found this out after my healthy teeth had been fully filed down. The clinic uses the names of experienced doctors to attract clients, effectively placing them in the hands of inexperienced staff. The experience of the doctor was a key factor in choosing this clinic. I didn't want to be biased and decided to give the doctor a chance, which turned out to be a huge mistake. They promise one warranty on veneers and crowns in the offer but change the warranty terms in practice, citing administrative changes. 2. INSTALLATION OF VENEERS AND CROWNS ON THE DAY OF DEPARTURE WITHOUT POSSIBILITY OF CORRECTION: I was kept in a hotel for five days with filed teeth and then decided to install the veneers and crowns on the day of departure, 4-5 hours before the flight. Out of my total of 8 days there, the installation was scheduled on the day of departure. Veneer fitting was promised every day, and on the day of fitting, after being kept in the dark until 6:00 PM, I was informed it would also occur on the day of departure, leading to a truly horrifying result. 3. COORDINATORS: The coordinators displayed completely unprofessional behavior. They deviated from the initial offer with Bookimed, refusing both clinic-to-hotel transportation and doctor substitutions. They didn't even know who the doctor listed in the official offer was. Coordinator Ivan, instead of addressing issues, persistently defended his position, ignoring all errors, promises, and clinic operations. Before my arrival, I inquired several times whether the clinic had its own laboratory to ensure corrections would only take a couple of hours. I was assured everything would be quick. In the end, I was held at the hotel for 5 out of 8 days with filed-down teeth, and the installation was scheduled 4 hours before the flight. There were no promised daily fittings until achieving complete satisfaction. A total lack of customer orientation was evident. Instead of answering questions about timelines, specifics, and doctors, the coordinator vehemently asserted, "You will like the result." This cannot be called professionalism. 4. COST IN THE OFFER AND IN REALITY: The offer quotes one cost of treatment, but in reality, they added approximately €1000 or more. Again, no one can answer questions about why this happened, as they will tell you they have nothing to do with the offer. And you’re already there, set on receiving treatment. 5. COMPLAINTS: At the Panorama hotel, I also met 4 women in a state of shock from the treatment results and the behavior of the staff. One filed an official complaint against the clinic with the French consulate. Another cried at breakfast. Two other women were there not for the first time, having returned to correct the initial work. We are all in contact for an official complaint on the clinic to the Ministry of Health in Turkey, France, Germany, and other associations to initiate a license review for this clinic. 6. RESULT: The result is absolutely horrifying! The crown on the front tooth is drastically different from the veneers, despite being paid for as a veneer. I decided to install 11 crowns on completely healthy teeth after orthodontic treatment solely to ensure that the veneer color would not differ from my natural teeth. In reality, the front teeth are different colors. There is a gap between the teeth, although I mentioned and warned about this. The doctor filled the gaps with a filling, which fell out the day I returned home. A veneer on the molar broke after just one week. The teeth were inadequately long—despite requests and wishes. The doctor decided to file them down, thereby ruining the veneers. Consequently, there are no incisors or the desired transparency, which both the coordinator and the doctor had sworn to provide before starting work. 7. SECOND VISIT: The doctor themselves immediately confirmed the need to correct the work on the second visit. I had to demand written confirmation from the clinic that they would fix the work, as the clinic inspires zero trust whatsoever. I will definitely leave a review after the second visit. Depending on the second visit, I will consider whether to join the collective statement against the clinic. 8. DOCUMENTATION AND BLACKMAIL: Initially, there was an agreement with the coordinator that documentation was needed for the insurance company of my country of residence. I was assured that all documents would be completed at the request of the insurance company. However, the initial document from the clinic was incorrectly issued—not only not according to international standards but also simply missing the mention of bridges. Coordinator Ivan refused to correct errors in the insurance documents (where bridges were not indicated), demanding in return that I remove my review on Bookimed. Working "in exchange" and covering up their errors instead of correcting them represents the pinnacle of unprofessionalism. This was the last straw for leaving a review here. I didn't want to leave a review, hoping they would improve the service by the second visit. But blackmailing with documents on the condition of removing negative ratings is a direct violation of medical ethics and the law. 9. REVIEW: Those affected by the clinic's actions, please contact this number +4917622093381. I will add you to the group with other patients who are preparing an official appeal to the authorities.

Thanks to Bookimed, my first trip was very quick and efficient. Everything was handled very professionally and promptly, with answers to all my questions, as well as coordination of the flight and the timeline of the process itself. My first impression of the clinic was very positive, and the price difference was only due to the lack of sufficient information about the actual condition of my teeth. However, after a 3D scan at the clinic, these issues were promptly resolved on-site, with full respect for my wishes. I am currently using a temporary (artificial) upper jaw, which, by the way, their specialists made very quickly and with absolute quality - I started using it just a week later, when the gum swelling subsided a little, and on the second day, I stopped removing it because it fits very well and does not bother me at all. I hope to continue having only positive experiences in the future. However, there is one more visit to the clinic ahead to complete the entire process.

We had a crown and a filling done promptly at the clinic. The coordinator Valeria was very helpful and advised with everything I asked her about and translated everything to the doctor promptly. The cost was the same as agreed. I have already contacted Bookimed many times and they always help me with appointments and treatments

Bookimed was so helpful and extremely nice. Everything they told me was to the detail accurate. I was very nervous about this because we’d never traveled that far before, just so many unknowns. But from the minute we were picked up from the airport we felt completely comfortable. Even with the language barrier, there were tons of laughs, smiles and hugs. It was an experience my husband and I will never forget!!

Very well-organized system: arrival, transfer, interpreter, communication with medical staff. The medical team, after reviewing my situation, developed the best treatment plan for me. And the stay at the RAMADA hotel was at ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟

I recently had one dental implant and one crown done at this clinic, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! From the initial consultation to the final fitting, the entire process was smooth, professional, and surprisingly comfortable. The dentist took the time to explain everything clearly — the implant procedure, healing timeline, and how the crown would match my natural teeth perfectly. There was minimal discomfort during both treatments (the local anesthesia worked brilliantly, and recovery was quicker than I expected). No major pain afterward, just some mild soreness that ibuprofen handled easily. The crown looks completely natural — color, shape, and fit are spot on, and I can't even tell it's not my original tooth. The implant feels rock-solid and has given me back full confidence when chewing and smiling. The whole team was friendly, attentive, and made me feel at ease every step of the way. The clinic is clean, modern, and well-organized. If you're considering implants or crowns, I highly recommend this place — they deliver excellent quality work without any unnecessary stress.

We wish the clinic every success and prosperity, and we are extremely grateful to you and your colleagues for the initial consultation. A special thank you to Dr Imad! He is a true professional! He is very attentive and professional in his work! The team is wonderful. The administrator is top notch. The transfer service picked us up and dropped us off. The hotel accommodation was very good. Thank you again for the warm welcome! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Good luck to you ❤️‍🔥❗️

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the team at Westdent Clinic for their excellent work and care! I had zirconium crowns placed on my upper jaw - the result exceeded all expectations. The work of the doctors is real professionalism, care and striving for perfection. I am especially grateful to the doctors who treated me - thanks to you I now have a beautiful and natural smile and a complete sense of comfort. A huge thank you to the interpreters and all the staff at the clinic for their support, attention and help every step of the way. I never felt alone for a minute - everything was explained in an easy-to-understand way and I was accompanied during all the procedures. Special thanks for organising the transfer: we were met at the airport, taken to the clinic every day and brought back to the hotel - everything was organised clearly, conveniently and without delays. Our stay in a cosy hotel near the clinic was very comfortable: clean rooms, caring staff and an atmosphere in which we could really relax and recover after the procedures. I would also like to thank the Bookimed team, especially Stanislav, who helped us to find a suitable clinic professionally and quickly Thank you to the whole Westdent team for your skill, care and sincere attitude to patients! I will gladly recommend your clinic to anyone looking for quality and reliable dental treatment.

My wife and I visited the clinic in December 2025. The trip was planned together with manager Ekaterina. All the agreed conditions (transport from the airport, translation, schedule of doctor visits, hotel accommodation, etc.) were fulfilled with great precision. We also really enjoyed working with the coordinator in Istanbul, Ivan. The clinic's doctors are young but very competent, use good modern equipment, and are attentive. We also liked the technical staff, who were all very attentive and polite. Our overall impression of the clinic is very positive. The hotel is within walking distance, so there is no need to use transport.

I was in Antalya for the first step and the care provided by the coordinator Eldar was really perfect. all transfers were punctual and comfortable. eldar was always at my side and did everything to make me feel comfortable. the treatment was surprisingly quick and precise. although I had a local anaesthetic, it was almost painless.The orthodontist must have been an expert.I was given all the medication and instructions.Although the whole thing was quite hard,I would always have my treatment done there again.Now the healing phase follows,then I can say exactly about the result.I am convinced that I will have a radiant smile.

Thanks to all the medical staff at the clinic and medical coordinator Ivan Nikolaev. I am very satisfied with the treatment and service I received. This was my first visit to the clinic, and I plan to continue treatment in May. I recommend the clinic to my friends and acquaintances.
