Dr Serdar was my surgeon and he was so nice and explained everything. For such a big procedure he made me feel very comfortable and was the best. Dr Bedir did my fillings and also he helped me feel relaxed and was excellent. Mr Mounaim was the most friendly and he explained everything so well. He was very informative and I would recommend him highly. I would want him when I return to help me!!! Thank you Dentspa. Everyone is sooo sooo nice and I will recommend to everyone. See you soon.

Sanae, my translator, is the epitome of kindness; she is very reassuring and highly professional. She accompanied me throughout the treatment, and I thank her. Dr. Serdar and Dr. Berkay are very professional and compassionate, and they explain very well what they are doing for the procedures and follow-up. I also thank them, and I need to return in 3 months for the final part of the treatment. Not to forget Reda, who managed all the administrative and financial aspects of my treatments while explaining the different possible solutions for my case. I would recommend Dentspa.

The team had a very big job their hands extracting wisdom teeth, doing the bone graft and then finally fitting the implants. Long process but thoroughly worth the wait, very happy with my new teeth 😁 Both Dr Serdar and Dr Madina are the best at what they do and my two friends Alper and Ahmet were by my side every step of the way, making me as comfortable as possible. Would highly recommend ! Ryan

Best Decision Ever Made

One of the Best choices of my life ! When I first heard about this I thought it was definitely too good to be true! But after taking a small leap of faith it has turned out to be one of the best choices I’ve ever made! Not only did I save approx. 90% of the cost everything I’ve had done , the Doctors, Advisors, and even the receptionists all have only made my journey through this exciting and truly a once in a lifetime opportunity! The Surgeon Dr. Serdar Yilmaz & Prosthodontist Dr. Medina were the absolute most wonderful and skilled people I’ve ever met. They took the time to explain every little step and made me feel like i was right at home. That’s exactly how I felt the whole experience, like I was graciously taken in as a part of their family. My Consultant Robert has become a trusted friend and everyone at Dent spa made me very sad to leave once everything was completed. As I informed them , they are stuck with me now lol and I’ll be back just to visit every few years . The hotel I stayed at (HOLIDAY INN Istanbul Şişli) , had amazing staff as well, they also became friends and cared for me when I was alone like I was family as well. Special Thanks to Omar for his amazing customer Service and support! If you are wondering if this place is legit like I was, it is !! Not one thing was hidden or not told to me, they made it so I was totally in charge of every single choice and step. Choosing Dent Spa is something I am proud to say is one of the better choices in my life.
