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 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 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
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 recently returned from my second visit to WestDent Clinic in Izmir, Turkey. The Clinic is staffed by warm and welcoming people. You are treated well, and the Clinic itself is clean and hygienic.
I honestly can't say that there was anything I didn't like. I felt like I was treated well during both visits and the level of professionalism and care was very good. Obviously having dental implants involves a significant amount of dental work to be done, but I felt it was done as well as possible.

Excellent service provided by Bookimed. I am especially grateful for the help and assistance I received at all stages by the amazing Dr Kora! Always polite, friendly and ready to help.

Everything just feels right
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.

His support, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference for me, and I am sincerely grateful for everything he did
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 was genuinely surprised at how manageable it all turned out to be
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.
The Russian-speaking coordinator organised absolutely everything: my appointments with the doctor, my stay at the hotel, transport, and looked after me perfectly both during and after the procedure. The doctor is a true professional, and the price for the services is very reasonable. I have consulted many doctors in different countries around the world, but these are the only ones I can recommend. Thank you, Mavidenta Clinic🥰

They have a true eye for detail
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.
I'm pleased with the All on 6 treatment. I had the first stage done three weeks ago. Now everything is slowly healing. I recommend the YEG clinic.

I was incredibly relieved that the feeling is now completely gone
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.
Smooth seamless process

The result is noticeable yet natural—my teeth are now 2–3 shades lighter
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.
Everything was great

The clinic staff were very caring; I’d like to give them a special thank you
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.

It was an experience my husband and I will never forget!!
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!!
About Bookimed service
I was very nervous about this trip and had tons of questions, so I’m sure at times I was driving the young lady that helped me crazy, but never did she make me feel that way. She always answered me in a timely fashion. She would even call the dentist office with questions I had and she would let me know right away what they had to say. I’m usually not a very trusting person, but she helped me know that even though we’d never met I could completely trust her. It was an experience of a lifetime, and I would definitely use them again.

It’s only been 15 days since my All-on-4 implants were fitted, and I’m already feeling great
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.

I am very happy with the result
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.
I have just finished my dental treatment at WestDent (Izmir) and my experience has been very positive. I would particularly like to commend Dr Tuğçe Bigiş for her professionalism and kindness, as well as María (the interpreter, a girl from Madrid now living in Izmir) and Natalia (the coordinator), who were instrumental throughout the process in ensuring everything went smoothly and was clear. The treatment wasn’t straightforward and there were moments of discomfort, but the team supported me every step of the way. The arrangements (hotel, transport, clinic) were very well organised. I’m very pleased with the aesthetic and functional results. Now comes the adjustment phase, but it was definitely worth it.
Overall, my experience was very positive. As for areas for improvement, the only thing I found a bit of a nuisance was the long waiting times at certain stages of the process. Otherwise, I was given all the necessary information and had an interpreter, which made communication much easier.

The surgeon and staff worked very professionally and seamlessly, creating a calm and reassuring atmosphere
If you’re considering getting a dental implant, I’d advise you first and foremost to prepare yourself for the recovery period. It’s now the second week since my operation, and I’m still avoiding chewing on that side so as not to put any strain on the area, and there’s still a slight redness around the gum. This is normal. I had a Straumann implant fitted. The organisation at the clinic was excellent, and the surgeon and staff worked very professionally and seamlessly, creating a calm and reassuring atmosphere. I have no complaints about their work. I am happy with my choice.
Excellent translators, professional doctors, and a caring approach to every patient
They didn’t provide a description of the implant, just the brand name. The payment receipt doesn’t list the prices for each service, only the total amount.

The improvement in the jowl area is simply striking
What I feared most was a long and painful recovery. I was worried that the swelling would last for months. But it’s only been 15 days since my deep SMAS facelift, and the swelling along my jawline is already minimal – it’s almost gone. The improvement in the jowl area is simply striking. My neck feels a little tight when I turn my head, but it’s quite bearable. The staff and my surgeon were very supportive. Perhaps the hardest part of the recovery was sleeping in an elevated position. My main advice for anyone considering this operation: be patient!

FAQ about Inlay/Onlay in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Which qualifications and certifications should I look for in a dentist who performs inlay/onlay procedures in Turkey?

Look for Turkish dentists with specialized training in restorative dentistry or prosthodontics. Qualified experts often hold a PhD or specialized residency certificate. Key credentials include membership in the Turkish Dental Association and clinics with International Health Tourism Authorization from the Ministry of Health.

  • Specialized titles: Look for Uzman Diş Hekimi or PhD titles in Restorative Dentistry.
  • Academic thesis focus: Dr. Erisa Olkun at My Nova clinic specialized in inlay/onlay burs.
  • International memberships: Membership in the American Dental Association or EDAD shows international standards.
  • Research background: Dr. Kübra Cantürk at İstinye Hospital has published research on CAD/CAM ceramics.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that top-tier Turkish dentists often transition from academic roles to clinical practice. For example, Dr. Erhan Firat was a professor at Ankara University for over 25 years. These practitioners often bring advanced research perspectives on material bonding and CAD/CAM accuracy, which are critical for the long-term success of indirect restorations.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize the importance of choosing a dentist who explains why an inlay is better than a crown. They notice when doctors use digital scans instead of manual molds. Realizing that the restoration fits perfectly without heavy bite adjustments brings the most relief after the procedure.

Which regulatory body monitors Turkish doctors treating international dental patients?

Turkish dentists treating international patients are primarily monitored by the Turkish Ministry of Health and the Turkish Dental Association. These bodies regulate clinic licensing and professional standards. Clinics must also hold an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate to legally serve foreign visitors.

  • Ministry of Health: Conducts safety audits and mandates strict hygiene protocols for all dental facilities.
  • Turkish Dental Association: Maintains the national registry and enforces ethical standards for practicing dentists.
  • International Authorization: Clinics must hold a specific certificate to offer services to international travelers.
  • Accreditation standards: Top clinics also maintain JCI or ISO certifications to demonstrate global quality.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Patient data shows that top-rated dentists often seek voluntary international memberships to supplement local oversight. For example, Dr. Erhan Firat at TWT Health Clinic is a member of the American Dental Association. Dr. Erisa Olkun at My Nova Clinic holds affiliations with the World Dental Federation and European Foundation for Quality Management. These extra credentials often signal a higher commitment to international clinical protocols.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that formal oversight is robust but emphasize verifying specific clinic licenses before arrival. They often suggest confirming who performs the final bonding of inlay or onlay restorations. Many feel more secure when clinics provide clear written terms for follow-up care after they return home.

How many inlay/onlay cases per year does an experienced aesthetic dentist in Turkey typically handle?

Experienced aesthetic dentists in Turkey typically handle 50 to 100+ inlay/onlay cases per year. This volume significantly exceeds that of standard practitioners in other countries. Top specialists hold PhDs in restorative dentistry and maintain a strong focus on tooth-preserving ceramic restorations.

  • Academic expertise: Specialists like Dr. Mustafa Orkun Ertugrul hold PhDs specifically in restorative dentistry.
  • Specialized research: Dr. Erisa Olkun conducted her graduation thesis specifically on inlay and onlay restorations.
  • Digital integration: Leading clinics use CAD/CAM technology to design and mill ceramic pieces same-day.
  • Material science: Experts like Dr. Kubra Canturk publish research on bonding agents for CAD/CAM ceramics.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that the most qualified inlay/onlay specialists in Turkey often transition from academic roles to private practice. For example, Dr. Erhan Firat was a University Professor for over 5 years. Patients should prioritize doctors with PhDs in restorative dentistry over general cosmetic titles for these specific indirect restorations.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that these restorations are a routine weekly occurrence for Turkish experts rather than rare procedures. Those who received treatment emphasize the importance of precise bite adjustments to avoid high spots after returning home. Many were surprised by the speed of the lab coordination when using modern ceramic materials.

What is the average consultation fee to see an inlay/onlay specialist in Istanbul compared to other Turkish cities?

Dental consultation fees in Istanbul typically range from $50 to $150 for inlay and onlay specialists. Prices in hub cities like Antalya or Izmir are generally lower, often between $30 and $90. Many specialized clinics for international patients deduct this initial fee from the total treatment cost.

  • Specialist qualification: Standalone fees for restorative dentistry professors or prosthodontists usually command higher rates.
  • Regional variations: Antalya clinics often offer lower fees due to a highly competitive dental market.
  • Inclusions check: Standard fees may exclude digital X-rays or 3D imaging needed for custom restorations.
  • Package integration: Most clinics bundle diagnostics into total inlay prices, which range from $300 to $600.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that choosing specialists with academic backgrounds or PhDs in restorative dentistry, such as Assistant Professor Dr. Kubra Canturk at Istinye Dental Hospital, provides access to specific research-backed techniques in CAD/CAM ceramic bonding. This level of specialization is more common in Istanbul clinics, justifying the slightly higher standalone consultation rates compared to general practices in smaller cities.

Patient Consensus: Patients note it is important to confirm what the fee covers. Many mention that Istanbul clinics focused on international care sometimes charge more, but the treatment plans are very detailed. Patients often suggest asking for a remote quote before traveling to see if the session cost can be waived.

How can I verify patient-before-after images and reviews to confirm a dentist’s expertise in ceramic onlay work?

Identify top dental expertise in Turkey by examining clinical photo precision and technical review patterns. Quality ceramic onlays require seamless margin blending and natural anatomical replication. Verify these by checking for consistent lighting and detailed case histories that explain the restorative material choices.

  • Margin blending: Ensure the ceramic edge is invisible without dark lines or visible borders.
  • Anatomical detail: Look for realistic grooves and ridges rather than flat ceramic blocks.
  • Case history: Request pre-op, immediate post-op, and long-term follow-up photos for functional evidence.
  • Technical reviews: Prioritize feedback mentioning bite comfort and the absence of food traps.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that leading Turkish specialists often have academic backgrounds specifically focused on bonding technology. Dr. Erisa Olkun at My Nova Kusadasi Dental Clinic wrote a graduation thesis on burs used specifically for inlay and onlay restorations. Similarly, Assist. Prof. Dr. Kubra Canturk at Istinye Dental Hospital holds a PhD with research focused on the bond strength of CAD/CAM ceramics.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that looking at the 'beauty shot' isn't enough to judge a dentist. They note it is important to check if the new bite feels natural and if the gums stay pink and healthy months later. Many found that genuine reviews describe the specific steps of the bonding protocol rather than just general clinic friendliness.

What technologies and materials should I expect a top-end Turkish clinic to use for inlays/onlays?

Top Turkish clinics use CAD/CAM digital workflows and premium ceramics like lithium disilicate for precise inlays and onlays. Leading specialists like Dr. Erisa Olkun focus on conservative preservation using intraoral scanners. These systems replace messy physical molds with 3D digital impressions for a perfect marginal fit.

  • Digital scanning: Intraoral scanners from 3Shape or iTero capture precise thousands of 3D images.
  • Premium materials: High-strength lithium disilicate and multilayered zirconia provide lifelike translucency and durability.
  • Precision preparation: Doctors use dental microscopes to preserve healthy enamel during the shaping process.
  • Chairside milling: In-house milling machines allow for the creation of ceramic restorations in minutes.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Patient data shows a significant advantage when choosing doctors with academic research backgrounds in material science. For example, Dr. Kubra Canturk at İstinye Dental Hospital has published specific research on the bond strength of CAD/CAM ceramics. Selecting a specialist who studies these chemical bonds ensures the restoration remains securely fused for years.

Patient Consensus: Patients often mention their surprise at how quickly the digital scanning process finished compared to traditional trays. Many note that the use of rubber dams for moisture control made them feel more confident in the final bonding quality. They also value when doctors spend extra time adjusting the bite for natural movement.

Is language English sufficient at Turkish inlay/onlay clinics, or should I bring an interpreter?

English is sufficient at Turkish inlay/onlay clinics due to the prevalence of internationally trained dentists. Most specialists at facilities serving foreign patients speak fluent English. Bookimed manages all logistics, including professional translation services and dedicated patient coordinators, to ensure clear communication throughout your treatment.

  • Specialized researchers: Dr. Erisa Olkun wrote her graduation thesis specifically on inlay and onlay restorations.
  • Bilingual doctors: Specialists like Dr. Ugur Derdiyok and Dr. Hakan Kanisli offer direct English communication.
  • C1 Proficiency: Some practitioners, including Dr. Aydin Egem Yuvanc, hold C1-level English certifications for clinical accuracy.
  • Global training: Doctors such as Dr. Erhan Firat trained in the US, Switzerland, and Germany.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows a high concentration of multilingual expertise in İzmir and Istanbul. For example, Dr. Erisa Olkun at My Nova Kusadasi Dental Clinic is fluent in English, Italian, and Albanian. Patients seeking complex aesthetic restorations should prioritize clinics where the lead dentist has international memberships, like the American Dental Association.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that while dentists are usually fluent, communication with lab staff or front-desk personnel can be limited. Many recommend preparing written questions about material choices and shade selection before the chairside appointment.

What is the level of medicine in Turkey?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.
