The dental tourism market in Turkey processes an estimated 250,000–350,000 international patients per year. Within that volume, the gap between a well-planned treatment and a poorly-planned one is not visible from clinic marketing or price comparisons alone — it only becomes apparent from clinical records. This service exists to close that information gap before you commit.
The clinic earns revenue from treating you. The dental tourism aggregator website earns a referral commission — typically 10–20% of your treatment cost — from whichever clinic you book with. The social media influencer received free treatment in exchange for posting. None of these parties are in a position to tell you that your proposed treatment plan is unnecessary, overpriced, or being done with substandard materials. Their income depends on you agreeing to proceed.
An independent consultation works differently because the consulting dentist has no financial relationship with any clinic. Dr. Taslidere charges a fixed fee paid by the patient. That fee is the same whether the review concludes that a treatment plan is excellent, whether it identifies serious problems, or whether it recommends against travelling at all. There is no commission structure, no referral agreement, and no incentive other than giving an accurate clinical assessment.
This is not a minor distinction. The dental tourism industry in Turkey handles an estimated 250,000–350,000 international patients per year. In an industry of that size, patient protection depends on patients having access to advice that is genuinely independent of the commercial chain. That is the gap this service fills.
A consultation review is a structured clinical assessment covering the specific elements most likely to determine whether your treatment succeeds or fails.
Not all dental implants are equivalent. Premium-tier implants from Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Astra Tech have published 10-year survival data typically above 95%. Mid-range implants from manufacturers such as Osstem and Megagen occupy an acceptable but less extensively documented tier. Unbranded or generic implants — common in the lowest-price segment of the Turkish market — have no meaningful published outcome data. Your treatment plan should specify the brand by name. If it does not, that omission is itself a concern worth investigating. See the dental implants guide for a full brand comparison.
A panoramic X-ray (OPG) is the minimum required before any implant treatment. A cone beam CT scan (CBCT) is necessary for cases involving multiple implants, All-on-4, or All-on-6, and for any situation where bone density or proximity to the maxillary sinus or inferior alveolar nerve requires precise mapping. Clinics that produce treatment plans without a CBCT for complex cases are either cutting costs or lacking the equipment. Dr. Taslidere reviews your imaging to confirm whether it is sufficient for the proposed treatment and whether the clinical interpretation appears correct.
For veneers, the distinction between Emax lithium disilicate, zirconia, and composite resin matters significantly for long-term aesthetics and durability. For All-on-4 and All-on-6 prosthetics, the difference between a temporary acrylic provisional and a final zirconia bridge affects both the treatment timeline and the total cost. Many treatment plan disputes arise because the material quoted was not the material delivered. Confirming what is specified — and whether it is appropriate — is a core part of every review.
Overtreatment is the most common clinical problem in dental tourism. The pattern is consistent: a patient with minor cosmetic concerns is quoted for 18–20 veneers when 8–10 would address the visible area. A patient who needs 3 implants is quoted for 6. A patient who could be treated conservatively with bonding is steered toward irreversible tooth preparation for crowns. The review assesses whether what you have been proposed is proportionate to what your clinical records actually show.
Clinic warranties for dental work in Turkey are only as useful as the clinic's willingness and ability to honour them after you return home. A warranty covering implant failure or veneer chipping is worthless if redeeming it requires flying back to Istanbul at your own expense. The review examines what the written warranty actually covers, what the exclusion conditions are, and whether the terms are realistic for an international patient.
The consultation is designed for patients who have a treatment plan in hand and need an independent clinical assessment before committing.
The most common patient profile is someone who has contacted one or more Turkish clinics, received a treatment plan with a total cost significantly lower than prices at home, and is trying to determine whether the plan is trustworthy before committing. The treatment is usually veneers, dental implants, All-on-4 or All-on-6, full-mouth rehabilitation, or a combination of crowns and implants. The total quoted cost is typically €3,000–€15,000, and the patient has not yet paid a deposit.
A second group are patients who have already had dental treatment in Turkey and are experiencing complications — failed implants, cracked veneers, bite misalignment, or persistent sensitivity. For these patients, a consultation provides an independent assessment of what went wrong, what remediation is needed, and what documentation should be gathered.
A third group are patients comparing treatment plans from multiple clinics — often in Istanbul, Antalya, and Izmir — who want help evaluating them on clinical merit rather than price alone.
Patients come primarily from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, the United States, Canada, and Australia. Read more on the About page and in the FAQ.

Common questions about the independent consultation process.
You send your X-rays, CBCT scan if available, photographs, and the written treatment plan from the Turkish clinic. Dr. Taslidere reviews all of this and produces a written report covering whether the proposed treatment is clinically necessary, whether materials and techniques meet European standards, whether the price is fair market value, and what questions you should ask before agreeing to anything. The core deliverable is a written second opinion you can read at your own pace.
A clinic giving you a second opinion still has a financial interest in treating you. Dr. Taslidere earns nothing if you proceed, nothing if you cancel. He has no referral agreements with any clinic in Turkey, receives no commissions, and does not direct patients toward specific providers. The assessment is based purely on your clinical records and what is appropriate for your situation.
Receiving a quote is exactly the right moment to seek a review. Before you pay a deposit or book flights, you should understand whether the treatment plan is correct for your situation, whether the materials specified are what they claim, and whether the price is fair. Most patients come at this stage — after receiving a quote but before committing.
Dental implants (including All-on-4 and All-on-6), porcelain veneers, zirconia crowns, dental bridges, composite bonding, full-mouth rehabilitation, and clear aligner treatment. If you are being quoted for any combination of these procedures and the total value is significant — typically €2,000 or more — an independent review is worthwhile.
That outcome is equally valuable. Patients who receive confirmation that their proposed treatment is clinically justified, fairly priced, and uses appropriate materials can travel with confidence. Not every review finds problems — and when the plan is sound, Dr. Taslidere says so clearly.
