Amazing Dental Experience!
July 16, 2025
I’ve just come back from Istanbul after having major dental work done at Dentspa and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went Before booking, I did what I’m sure everyone does, I read a ton of their reviews. I noticed that while the vast majority were glowing, there were a few low-star ones that made me hesitate and I pinged back and forth for over a week while communicating with Alice. I had to do some serious thinking, but after taking the plunge and going on this journey (my partner came with me), I can confidently say those negative reviews don’t reflect the reality at all, and maybe come from people who don’t fully understand just how much effort, precision, and coordination goes into this process. The level of care and professionalism I experienced was above anything I’ve had in the UK (and I’ve had a lot of work carried out here over the past 15 years by private dentists and honestly nothing compares to the quality and attention to detail work that i’ve just had done on this first trip) From day one, Alice was super helpful and responsive. The treatment planning was clear, the communication was solid, and everything felt organised and transparent (I iterated on the treatment plan several times, I was listened to and also given solid advice) Once I arrived in Istanbul, it was next-level. The clinic is high-spec, spotless, and incredibly well-run. I had 5 Straumann implants (including a sinus lift surgery and bone grafts), 4 root canals (one of which was a complex remediation to fix a botched job from a UK dentist as he failed to find one of the 4 roots in a molar which then got infected and caused me a lot of pain, a failed filling on top and some seriously bad breath!), and then i had some crown work on my front 2 top teeth, and lower 4 front. The team stayed late to finish my root canals due to the complexity, and every specialist I saw clearly knew their craft. It’s rare to feel that level of trust in a medical setting, even when there was a slight language barrier at times, the team always managed to communicate clearly enough to make me sure i was making the right proactive decision Istanbul itself was just amazing, what a trip! Warm, friendly people, amazing food, and a stunning city. Everything from airport pickup / drop off, to post-surgery check-ups was handled smoothly. I felt completely supported the whole time I’ll be back in February for the final stage, and I’m actually looking forward to it (mainly as its non invasive and it will be just to get the final 5 x implant crowns fitted!), but this is something I never thought I’d say about any dental work cos i’ve always had a real fear of it If you’re unsure like I was, just go for it. I had many doubts, but after going through the whole process, I can say without hesitation that Dentspa are the real deal. The standard of care, the professionalism, the results, and at a cost that simply doesn’t compare to UK pricing. I’m genuinely glad I put my trust in them Need to send my thanks to Dr Sukran, Ahmet, Tugce, and the other specialists that helped me See you guys in Feb 2026 🙂

Great Experience at the Clinic
June 20, 2025
Hello, I want to share my experience at this clinic. We were welcomed by Reda and Sana, who spoke fluent French throughout our one-week stay. The care provided was of high quality; the facilities were clean. I had 17 veneers, 4 implants, and a tooth extraction, which was quite technical, but they proved to be highly capable. I recommend the surgeon Dr. Sükran, who was impressive for her execution speed. I felt nothing, and the results are fantastic. Thank you, Dent Spa.

Excellent Professional Team
May 13, 2025
My first visit attendee by; Dr Sukran and Dr Enes and Mr Mounaim. The team was very professional from explaining to me the procedures beforehand and being gentle during the procedures. The clinic gave a luxury courtesy pick and drop vehicle to my hotel which made it seemless for me to get to the clinic on time
