Crestal sinus lift in Istanbul — get 3 top clinic matches with costs

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 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.

My biggest worry going into this was the sensitivity afterwards. I was prepared for significant discomfort, but it was much more manageable than expected and has since disappeared completely. The results are very clear and objective. My teeth are visibly 4-5 shades whiter, and the color is perfectly uniform across my entire smile, with no patchiness at all. It’s a definite improvement. I am also tracking the color, and so far, the shade has held steady without any relapse. The whole process was handled professionally by the surgeon and staff in a modern clinic environment. I would absolutely direct others to this clinic.

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!

If you're considering veneers, I would absolutely point you toward this clinic. My biggest worry was whether they would look and feel natural, but that concern is gone. The surgeon and staff were wonderful. I received over ten zirconia veneers, and the color is a perfect blend with my other teeth. It's still early, but I've had no sensitivity to hot or cold drinks, and my bite feels completely perfect. Everything just feels right. The care I received from everyone involved made the whole process feel manageable and positive.

I want to sincerely thank Winnington at Bookimed for the exceptional support he provided during my dental treatment (4 implants) journey in Istanbul. What truly stood out was how Winnington completely transformed a very stressful situation into a successful and fully satisfying experience. I only had a 3-day stay in Istanbul after a long 9.5 hrs flight from Canada, initially I had an appointment arranged with another clinic that I honestly did not feel comfortable moving forward with. At that point, the situation became very stressful because of the limited time I had available and the fear of wasting the entire trip without receiving the treatment I urgently needed. This is where Winnington went far above and beyond. Understanding the urgency and pressure I was under, he acted incredibly fast and managed to arrange a new appointment for me with Memorial Hospital on extremely short notice. Thanks entirely to his efforts, coordination, and persistence, I was able to secure an appointment almost immediately despite the tight timeline. That single action completely changed the outcome of my trip. The experience at Memorial Hospital was outstanding from start to finish, I left extremely satisfied with both the care and the results. Throughout the entire process, Winnington stayed in constant communication, followed up regularly, helped clarify pricing and logistics, handled concerns professionally, and genuinely made me feel supported during a very stressful moment. What impressed me most was not only his professionalism, but his ability to deliver solutions under pressure and truly advocate for the patient. Without his quick actions and dedication, my trip could have easily turned into a disappointing experience. I highly recommend Bookimed (big shout out to Winnington) to anyone considering medical treatment abroad. His support, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference for me, and I am sincerely grateful for everything he did.

I had mentally prepared myself for a difficult recovery, but I was genuinely surprised at how manageable it all turned out to be. The areas where eight to ten strategic implants were placed are barely noticeable in my jaw. Of course, the process is still ongoing — I’m on a soft diet for now, but that’s a minor detail compared to how I feel overall. The surgeon and the entire team were very professional and attentive. For anyone considering a similar procedure, I can say that my experience at this clinic was a positive one.

My biggest fear was that my new smile would look obviously artificial, but the team here really listened. They have a true eye for detail. The surgeon and the entire staff were so supportive from the first consultation, which made the whole process feel manageable and clear. I felt comfortable. It’s still early in my recovery, and the biggest challenge right now is being patient and avoiding hard foods while everything settles. The care I received at the clinic was consistent and professional, and I'm very pleased with the outcome so far.

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!!

My main concern was the potential for lingering tooth sensitivity, so I was incredibly relieved that the feeling is now completely gone. The results are noticeable—my teeth are about 4 to 5 shades whiter, and the new color is holding steady. The surgeon and staff were professional and earned their high marks. The whitening is mostly even across all my teeth, which is good, though not perfectly uniform, explaining my 8/10 recommendation. Overall, it was a very straightforward process with a solid outcome.

I was very lucky with the dentist and the clinic staff; the whole experience was very comfortable. The result is noticeable yet natural—my teeth are now 2–3 shades lighter. And I’m glad that I have absolutely no sensitivity to cold drinks. The hardest part after the whitening treatment turned out to be avoiding foods that stain; that takes discipline. My main advice to anyone planning to have the procedure: be prepared not to eat foods that stain your teeth for a while, and even take a toothbrush and toothpaste with you to restaurants so you can maintain the whiteness straight away.

My biggest concern was whether the bridge would look natural. Fortunately, the colour matched my natural teeth very closely, so that’s all fine. I had a zirconia bridge fitted over 5–6 teeth. The clinic staff were very caring; I’d like to give them a special thank you. However, I would have liked a better rapport with the surgeon; I was left with the feeling that not everything had been fully discussed. I am currently getting used to it. The main difficulty is sensitivity when chewing, and I am still getting used to my new bite. Overall, the result is good, although the process itself was not ideal.

What worried me most was the recovery period and whether I would be able to speak and eat normally. My fears were unfounded. It’s only been 15 days since my All-on-4 implants were fitted, and I’m already feeling great. The temporary bridge feels stable and comfortable, and I can chew normally, which was a pleasant surprise so soon after the operation. My speech is perfectly clear; I haven’t had any problems at all. I had the MIS implant system fitted, and the gums around them look healthy and pink and are healing well. I am very grateful to the team for their work.

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

I had several dental crowns fitted at this clinic and the experience has been very positive. One of my biggest concerns was how my bite would feel afterwards, and I can say that it feels completely natural when chewing. That was key for me. I’ve also been very pleased with the aesthetic result. The colour is very natural and doesn’t look artificial at all. I felt well looked after throughout the whole process. I’d like to thank Dr Tuğçe Bigiş for her professionalism and kindness, as well as the interpreter (María, a Madrid native now living in Izmir), the coordinator Natalia, and the rest of the team, who were very professional and clear in their explanations. At the moment, I’m still getting used to eating (avoiding hard, very cold or very hot foods), but that’s to be expected. I am very happy with the result. Thank you all.
