Such an unparalleled, all-encompassing service is unthinkable in Germany!
My rather unexpected decision to have two implants fitted at the age of 76 was immediately put into action by Dentist Gürkan! He gave me excellent advice, then examined my jawbone using an X-ray, and after a further 45 minutes, the two implants were professionally and perfectly in place! His very, very friendly manner and steady hand made this procedure a truly memorable experience! My thanks also go to the entire team: the surgical assistant, the reception staff, as well as the German interpreter and the member of staff who drove me from the office to the Dent-Helen-Clinic and, after the treatment, to the nearest cash machine, and looked after me. Such an unparalleled, all-encompassing service is unthinkable in Germany! Thank you very much for this positive experience and for continuing to keep your patients happy! I am already very much looking forward to returning to complete the treatment in a few months’ time!
Best regards from Holger, aka Biker Bruno

I am very grateful
After a disappointing dental experience elsewhere, I was nervous. Bookimed was a credible service that handled the search, connecting me with WestDent Clinic. The dentist was honest about the tooth preparation needed for my full mouth restoration and explained the color and shape options for the zirconia veneers, matching my preferences perfectly. The staff were gracious and helped me choose my treatment without the pressure I’d felt before. I am very grateful. The wait times after arriving could be improved, but it was a small issue. There were no surprise expenses, and they provided a clear aftercare guide.
After a disappointing experience with dental work in Istanbul, I was nervous about trying again. Fortunately, I found Bookimed, a credible service that handled the search for me so I didn’t feel overwhelmed or risk another bad outcome. Tatiana was extremely helpful and connected me with WestDent Clinic.
The excellent experience continued at WestDent. The dentist and staff were gracious and helped me choose the best treatment for my needs, without the pressure I’d felt before. I’m very grateful for their friendly, welcoming, and professional care.
I highly recommend both Bookimed and WestDent Clinic.
The wait times after arriving could be improved, though I understand some waiting is to be expected. Overall, it was a great experience.

The service was amazing, right from the first communication
The doctor tells you what he is doing, and he did a great job very efficiently. This was true of the whole process. The service was amazing, right from the first communication. They always messaged well in advance to let you know what time your appointment is scheduled for, and when the transfer will be there, with the name of the driver and vehicle number plate. All staff were super welcoming, friendly and professional. Recovery is going well. My gums already look pink and healthy. I am still being very careful with everything, and my speech is adjusting to the new mini implants.

I would recommend her any day
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 felt truly cared for
I was very anxious about possible discomfort after the procedure, but the entire process was carried out with great care. The staff and surgeon continuously reassured me and explained everything clearly, which was extremely important to me. Healing is progressing well. Of course, it's still too early to assess how the abutment feels while chewing, but at this stage, everything seems correct. Although I wasn't informed about the specific brand of the implant, I fully trusted the doctor's choice, as his professionalism was evident. I felt truly cared for.

What really stood out was the speed and efficiency of the doctors and staff; I genuinely did not expect that
If you are considering getting dental implants, I wanted to share a bit about my process. What really stood out was the speed and efficiency of the doctors and staff; I genuinely did not expect that. I received three or four of the Straumann brand implants. I am still in the early stages of healing, and so far, I'm feeling about as expected. The care was solid. Just be aware that you will need to cover some small additional costs yourself, like post-operative medications such as antibiotics, as well as your own lunch and dinner.

The doctor matched the color perfectly to my preferences
I remember discussing the shade for my new smile, and what really stood out was how the doctor matched the color perfectly to my preferences. I opted for a full mouth restoration with E-max pressed ceramic veneers, and the outcome feels right. Everyone was supportive. Now in the early stages of healing, everything is progressing about as expected, which is a relief. It’s also very reassuring that the clinic has stayed in touch to check on my progress since I've been home. The care was consistent.

A very good experience at this clinic
A very good experience at this clinic. The coordinator was very responsive and the quote sent was detailed; everything was smooth from the first contact. The clinic is superb and the staff are professional. My surgeon was honest, showing me the CT scan to explain the plan for both my upper and lower jaws, my bone quality, and all the risks involved. I'm feeling better than expected. The procedure used Osstem implants, and I can confirm there were no additional expenses beyond the quote.
