New Patient Dental Examination Europe

I wanted to have a Hollywood Smile for a long time but never dared to have it done because couldn't trust most places. One of my friends recommended Cosmedica Dental. Gathered my courage and made an appointment. I am glad I did, they made a perfect Hollywood Smile for me in a wonderful way.

My experience at Perla took place between October 2023 and April 2024. The short story - I walked in with 1000 problems and walked out with a full set of teeth and a smile I no longer needed to be ashamed of. One of the best decisions I have ever made. If you are having doubts about Perla - don't. I honestly could not be happier. For the details read the long version. I waited a month from completition before writing and posting. We chose Perla Dental Centre after a long process of checking reviews and seeking advice. My wife went first and will write her own review but I was a far more serious case. All my life I have suffered with dental health and structural problems around my gums, teeth and jaw. Back in the 1970s I was in the hands of prehistoric dentistry - and they got almost everything wrong. It gave me a fear of dentists and with an additional low pain threshold, I am a difficult patient for dentists to deal with. Over the years my teeth fell apart. At one stage I went 15+ years without seeing a dentist. By the time I reached my 40s I had two partials - top and bottom - and when I hit my 50s the teeth the partials were resting on had begun to collapse. I would go to dentists in the UK and they would tell me I would soon need dentures. They didn't even bother offering me implants because the process was so expensive. I wanted to know because I did not want cheap dentures and having received 3 quotes I knew it was approximately £30,000. No way could I afford that. This led me to looking at Turkey as my way to a healthy mouth. So glad I did. The total journey from my first appointment to the final check up took six months and one day. The key surgery (extractions, 13 implants, sinus lift and bone graft) took place on a single day. It was performed by Onur Ademhan. Prior to surgery he warned me that because of loss of bone, and other structural problems he may need to fix me over two surgeries - but in the end his skillful hands managed to avoid that and he got it done in one. The extraction process and implant placement took place in a day. It wasn't pleasant - I had about 14 extractions and 13 implants - so I am not going to pretend it was comfortable. But it was handled with care, professionalism and a lot of after care. There were no problems. It is important to mention the 'after care'. From start to finish I felt like I was being looked after like family. You are put in the hands of what I suppose is a personal case manager. Mine was Thomas. He was incredible. He arranges everything about your care - from the airport pick up to the airport drop off. Appointments/ taxi to the clinic from the hotel / making sure you have the medication you need/ answering any questions. five star service all the way. Perla did offer me temporary teeth for the six month interval, but again, because of my own issues with dentists and gagging when foreign objects are placed in my mouth I chose to be without. The six month interval was not as bad as feared. After the first two weeks as the wounds healed, I was eating pretty well. I gained rather than lost weight (which is quite funny). You cannot eat foods that need proper chewing - but as I got used to the situation - I was pretty comfortable eating a range of foods. In addition - for the first time in decades, I had no infections, no pain, and no disease. My mouth was not just healing - and it may have been toothless, but it was healthy again. Six months almost to the day, I returned. They took a panoramic X-ray - and let me know the implants had all taken well. Upon my return I needed more prep work. They need to place healing caps on top of the implants. Then the measurement and testing begins. All of this was carried out by Dr Tahsin Dayaniclier. Again - the professionalism was first class. I went in several times as they prepared the final teeth for me. There was always advice and consultation throughout the process. The colour of the teeth, the shape, the size - all the time I was given advice from professionals. Never did I feel coerced or directed. They wanted to listen - but they also wanted to share their expertise. These guys wanted perfection. There was one unexpected visit - because they decided my gums needed cutting back. So I was handed to a gum / laser technician for additional work. It took an hour - and the injections meant I could not feel a thing. This was done because they are constantly trying to get the best result they can. And they don't cut corners. They even apologised to me in advance because they felt they may not be able to give me the perfect 100% straight jawline and smile. They knew my Jaw and bite was badly messed up - and they said they would do their best to make it look as good as they could. It was so unneccessary - they were clearly working to the highest professional standard and cannot be faulted. The result looks pefect to any normal person in the street. It just shows the high standards they set for themselves that it wasn't perfect enough for them. That second visit to Turkey lasted a week and a bit. I extended my stay for a few days (my choice) to give my mouth additional time between visits to heal. I think there were five visits to the clinic in total - including the final 'all okay' check up before I went home. Half way through that week they gave me temporary trial teeth to use. This was the first time in 6 months I had been able to chew. I could feel from what they had given me the fitting was right. Then finally there was a trial fitting. The look was great. And the following day I turned up to have them placed permanetly. The top was all one section, the bottom was split into two. I had teeth again. A couple of days later I flew home. It took a little while to get used to my new mouth (new mouth - new rules). But having had the teeth now for a month, I can honestly say I could not be happier. I have NEVER had a smile like this. And it is DECADES since I have been able to eat without pain, discomfort or food getting stuck in holes. I have never experienced such a clean full bite before. Sure the sensation is different because I no longer have any natural teeth to feel with - but even so, the deal is worth it. They also say you lose some strength in your bite - but I think that is deceiving. It is decades since I had a proper, strong bite - so the teeth I have now are far stronger and the bite more powerful than anything I have had for ages. It isn't just about the way it looks. I can eat anything with no discomfort. My mouth is healthy. It is a pleasure to eat again. All thanks to Perla. Thoroughly recommended without hesistation. And a special thank you to Thomas - I know I must have been tough - but he never faltered.... David

Thank you Sarah and Dr Cakir and all the staff for an excellent service. I’m super confident now.

What can I say about this clinic? Nothing short of excellent. Upon arriving in Turkey, I was met at the airport by a limousine—luxury is the word—and taken to my hotel, which was very comfortable. After relaxing, having something to eat, and resting for the remainder of the evening, I felt at ease. The next morning, I was picked up and taken to my first appointment, where I had my scans done. The treatment plan was explained to me in detail, including the cost, which matched what I had been informed of in the UK. I’ve now had my first and second appointments and have my temporary teeth fitted. I’m really pleased with them and am looking forward to returning in May to have my permanent teeth fitted, all being well. Once again, a big thank you to the team.

Great service, great communication, and really love my new teeth. Thank you so much Celebi Dental Clinic. I highly recommended.

I was so happy with everything during my time with Tour Medical. They couldn’t have done any more for me—such nice people who did a great job. I’m very happy with the outcome; it looks great!

I found my treatment at the clinic to be first class the nurses were lovely and very helpful. I could find no faults at all with the care they provided.

From the moment I arrived at the airport to the moment I left the clinic everything was more than amazing. Ontime, friendly, VIP transfers, friendly staff who listen to any concerns and try to help you in any way possible, to the amazing look of my new teeth, I cannot thank the Dent48 team enough the whole experience was more than I could of imagined!

We were on holiday in Croatia when a crown came undone. I looked online to find the dentist with the best reviews close to us and I walked into this clinic. To my surprise, I could be seen straight away. The crown was put back in. Very happy with the quick treatment.

My wife and myself both have visited and are undergoing treatment. May I say . The staff and treatment are fantastic. Dennis and Gabriel are top-drawer material. They make you feel so welcome and relaxed. The treatment is unrivalled, superb, couldn't ask for better. Please choose quality premium you will not be dissatisfied. Out of this world

It was my first time at HMC and honestly, I felt super comfortable from the moment I walked in. The place is clean, the staff is so kind, and the whole vibe made me feel at ease. Thank you for the great care!

It has been 8 years since I moved to Belgium and he is the first doctor I have fully trusted. Because he is very good at his job, very friendly and speaks English at the same time. The clinic is also very hygienic which was another criteria for me. To conclude, it was a pleasure meeting him and from now on, I will be his patient.

Brilliant, talented and skilful dentist with excellent assistance and team around her. Couldn't be more helpful. I am absolutely delighted with the result. Thank you so much.

I’m a UK citizen who travels to Kyiv regularly. I cannot fault the service and treatment received at this clinic. Totally professional and excellent. I had an implant to replace a broken tooth near the front of my teeth and the result is perfect. I’ll be back for all dental treatment from now on. Thank you

I have always been really, really nerveous going to the dentists. But havin spoken with Dr Laura on the phone and via email, regarding the implants I needed, plus lazer whiteing done at the same time. After a number of aborted trips due circumstances beyond my control. I got there Dr laura's very caring approach and advice, about the treatment I needed to have done, was outstanding. I could not even feel the injection to numb up my mouth being applied in fact by day 5 I didn't even have my gums numbed up a testiment to how caring the clinic is. Additionally the examination and x-rays showed I need a number of filling being replaced to inaddtion to the implant location on the left side of my mouth having an infection in the bone which Dr Laura showed my on the x-rays and what the process would be to correct them. So over 5 days I had two implants place as due to one of my front teeth growing at an angle there was not room to get two implants in the gap, but Dr Laura overcame that with one implant topped to a wide crown that looks like 2 teeth. While the other implant base needed to have a bone graft done on the base, together 8 fillings replaced with more natural white cement plus the lazer teeth whitening being done. Now I feel more confident in myself being able to smile more often. All the treatment I had was excellent value. In fact I have already recommend Dr Laura to one of my South Africian friends in the UK, who is also nerveous about going to a dentists. In early January 2025 I will be returning for part 2 of my treatment as I will need to have the implant on the left hand side of my mouth checked to, ensure the bone graft have bonded in satisfactorial and have the last two filling done behind the implant on the left had side, plus potentially having a full gum restoration carroied out too. I was amazed by the attention to detail of the clinic in its appearance being very modern with the latest equipment, drills that gently hum as they are water cooled, to deaden the sound, most of all every piece of dental equipment that goes on to the treatment table is in it's own sterlised wrapper. So once again thank you very much for all your care and attention, from yourself and your team. Dr Laura.

Wow, this was such a great experience. I never thought I’d say that about getting a molar extracted. I was travelling from Los Angeles to Rome to visit my son attending university. I asked my son to find me someone with great reviews and who could see the next day, I was in a lot of pain. Dr. Maltese saw me right on time the next day and assessed the situation. He agreed to perform the procedure that same day and he would move things around in his schedule to accommodate me. I came back later that afternoon for the procedure. Dr. Maltese was 100% professional and an incredibly nice man. He was very patient and explained what he was going to do in detail. What I liked is that during the procedure calmly checked in with me, giving updates about what’s been done, and what’s coming next. He wasn’t rushed but worked quickly to minimize the time I’d be uncomfortable. He was also as gentle as could be. He was extremely thorough. I almost want to go back to Rome twice a year for cleanings! Also, his staff was amazing and his office was impeccably clean. Thank you so much, Dr. Maltese!

I had an emergency appointment due to acute pain in my frontal teeth. The dentists reacted very quickly and were respectful and honest. I recommend this clinic.

Excellent thanks for your service 👍 I advise everyone to clinic
