The service starts in the reception area. I was greeted with a smile and was provided very attentive care during check-in. Excellent customer service! The office is very modern-yet comfortable. During my treatment, after neglecting my dental health for years. Dr.Sabri and the team provided me with a thorough check-up and have helped me to get my dental health back on track. The team uses state of the art technology that provides a comprehensive view of your dental health. I completed teeth straightening and I have to say… I’m smiling a lot bigger these days!

Dental Implants  
Patients may need dental implants for a variety of reasons, including: To replace missing teeth: Dental implants can be used to replace one or multiple missing teeth, restoring the patient's ability to chew and speak properly, and improving their overall quality of life. To preserve facial structure: Dental implants can help preserve the patient's facial structure by preventing bone loss in the jaw, which can occur when a tooth is missing. To improve esthetics: Dental implants can improve the patient's smile by replacing missing teeth and creating a natural-looking appearance. To support dental bridges or dentures: Dental implants can be used to support dental bridges or dentures, making them more stable and comfortable for the patient. To improve self-esteem and confidence: Dental implants can improve the patient's self-esteem and confidence by replacing missing teeth and restoring a natural-looking smile. To improve overall oral health: Dental implants can improve overall oral health by preventing the shifting of remaining teeth and maintaining the proper spacing of teeth. To avoid negative effects on adjacent teeth: Dental implants do not affect the adjacent teeth, unlike bridges that require the reduction of healthy teeth. To avoid the need for removable dentures: dental implant-supported dentures can provide a more secure and stable solution, allowing patients to eat and talk without the worry of their dentures moving or falling out.
Veneers  
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite material that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of teeth. They are beneficial for dental patients because they can improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, stained, chipped, or misaligned. Veneers can also be used to close gaps between teeth or to make teeth appear longer. Additionally, veneers are durable and can last for many years with proper care. They are also resistant to staining and discolouration, making them a good option for people who want to maintain a bright and white smile. Overall, Veneers offer a conservative and esthetic solution for many dental issues.

All dentists are experts in their professionSado, Turkey, 20 10 23

I was looking for a dentist in Maltepe. But I was very afraid of implant treatment. I came to Istanbul Dental Academy on the recommendation of my friends. All the staff were very attentive and the doctor calmed me down very well before making the implant. They made my implant in 15 minutes and it was really light, I didn't even feel it. Since I was very satisfied with the implant treatment, I decided to have my other procedures done at Istanbul Dental Academy. I told them that I was not satisfied with my smile and they told me that they could make a smile design with zirconium crown. They are extremely fast because they have their own laboratory. They made my mouth full of zirconium crown within 4 days, allowing me to have a very beautiful smile. All dentists are experts in their profession. Compared to most quality places, their prices are quite affordable. I completed my root canal treatment, filling, implant treatment and zirconium crown treatments painlessly in this clinic. Thank you very much for your attention.

I will recommend this quality treatment to everyone around meVytautas, Lithuania, 07 01 23

Upon the advice of my friend who lives in Istanbul, I was treated at Dr Clinik Hospital for dental scaling and care. When the process is over I decide to do the Hollywood Smile operation as per the doctor's advice. I had little pain during the operation, but it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Now I understand the importance of teeth and how actors seem good because of their teeth. I am really thankful to this clinic dental for welcoming me greatly during that time. Normally I do not prefer to do comments but thank you very much for welcoming me so greatly and for making me feel valued. I will recommend this quality treatment to everyone around me. First of all, I want to thank Assistant Rabia and the whole team. I promise I won't forget to write a comment for you guys on Google reviews for this wonderful service I got at Dr Cinik Hospital. Thank you so much!

I am just back home after stage one of my dental implant journey. Dr. Karabey, his assistants and his staff were so kind, attentive and professional. The first procedure was complicated, but went very well and I experienced very little pain and swelling. Dr. Karabey explained the procedure and what I needed to do to look after my implants between now and when I return for the remainder of the procedure and the fitting of my teeth. My stay in Istanbul was quite comfortable and on my rest days, I was able to take in the sights of the beautiful city. I highly recommend Dr. Karabey's practice.

I know this can come across as an exaggeration but choosing Surgero to perform my nose job surgery in Istanbul genuinely changed my life! The pre and post-op care went above and beyond, with my comfort and understanding of the process being prioritised, making the surgery a very enjoyable and joyful experience. Dr. Tuna continued to highlight the importance of my responsibility in postoperative care which I'm definitely enjoying the benefits of! It has given me a huge confidence boost and I am now able to post photos on IG with different angles and in love with the shape of it when I look in the mirror. I am so grateful to pick Surgero for my rhinoplasty journey in Istanbul and strongly recommend!

I will definitely be backMichael, Australia, 07 09 22

I was in turkey on holiday from Australia and decided to look into having my front teeth fixed. I had a crown on one tooth, which was not perfectly matched in colour to the surrounding teeth, from a previously cracked tooth. I went and saw the team at denthill, in 2019. They were friendly, professional and extremely gracious and helpful. We went through some options and I opted to put veneers on the two front teeth to address my issues with colour matching. I also did zoom whitening, cleaning and fixed some receeding gums. Its now 2022, the work has stood the test of time and I'm extremely happy with the results! I had no hesitation in recommending denthill. I will definitely be back. If only to pop past and say hi to the lovely team there.

They were very flexible around my availabilityJenni, Finland, 30 08 22

Traveled to Istanbul from Finland to get my veneers done. I initially wanted 12 teeth doing but the specialists insisted I only needed 6 as the other teeth were perfectly healthy. He was not willing to damage them, which shows he cares about his patients and not the money. They were very flexible around my availability, which on more than one occasion meant having to stay way past closing time just so they could get the job done. Whilst having my veneers done they also did tooth whitening and fillings in which again they were very considerate in making sure not to cause me any pain from the rhinoplasty I had done the day previous. Overall they are very pleasant. Their method in dentistry is by far the best I have seen so far, with very natural results. I definitely recommend it.
