Sedation for dental treatments Antalya

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

I had badly needed an implant for several years and then, every time I flossed my teeth, pieces of my molars started to break off. The final straw was when one of the four crowns in the front of my mouth finally broke. It had lasted 40 years so had done a good job but this made me decide that I really needed to sort out my teeth. Unable to afford the treatment needed in the UK, a colleague of my partner's highly recommended SDC so, with some trepidation, I chose to have my treatment in Turkey. I need not have worried! From my first contact with Merve, I was extremely impressed by her professional, speedy responses to my questions and excellent English. Nothing was too much trouble for them and all of my questions were carefully answered and each detail of my treatment plan explained. Clients are met at the airport and collected for appointments from their hotels for each treatment needed by their friendly driver. The clinic is immaculate with all of the very latest technology. All of the staff are expert at putting you at ease when you are feeling nervous. Nazife, my dentist, always explained clearly what she was going to work on during each appointment and gave me an idea of how long this would take. Pain-killing injections were very effective and I was able to listen to a couple of audiobooks on my headphones to while away the time! Nazife's attention to detail was fantastic and she works incredibly patiently and carefully. I am overjoyed with the end results and very grateful for everyone's hard work and considerate care.

I decided to start my dental implant treatment after the consultation in Norway at the end of November, and choosing Auraliss was honestly one of the best healthcare decisions I have ever made. From the very first consultation, done by Dr Eleny in Oslo, to our arrival in Antalya, everything was perfectly organised. The dental implant procedure was explained in detail, the clinic was extremely modern and clean, and the medical team made me feel completely safe. The implants were done pain-free, with no swelling, and my temporaries feel way better than expected. Looking forward to my next visit in April 2026 If you are looking for high-quality dental implants in Turkey, I highly recommend Auraliss.

After listening to friends who had their treatment at Dentatur, and spoke very highly about the whole experience, it was time for me to start looking into this for myself, from initially making contact to arriving and having my examination the experience far met my expectations, the price was extremely reasonable, my dentist was called Ozlem and she was not only very knowledgeable, she was kind and patient going at my pace and not feeling pressured, the whole experience was very positive. I can highly recommend Dentatur to anybody considering dental work. Paul H

I had a full mouth restoration at this clinic and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first video consultation, the doctors explained everything clearly and made me feel safe and confident about my decision to come to Antalya. The whole process was painless, fast, and completely professional. The team is so friendly, the clinic is modern and spotless, and the support with hotel and transfers made everything stress-free. What impressed me most was how natural my new smile looks – it’s perfectly matched to my face and feels just like real teeth.
