How long is a typical dental stay in Istanbul for UK patients?
It depends on the treatment. Whitening or composite bonding: 2–3 days. Veneers or crowns: 5–7 days (two visits). Implants with delayed loading: first visit 3–4 days, second visit 5–6 days after 3–4 months. The detailed timeline is sent to you in writing before you book your flight.
Is the flight from the UK included?
Standard flights are not included, because fares vary by season and UK departure airport; your UK coordinator helps you book at the best fare. If a complication arises within our clinical responsibility, the return flight to Istanbul is at our cost, as set out in our written warranty (10 years implants, 5 years crowns and veneers, 2 years endodontics, 1 year soft-tissue).
Can I bring a companion?
Yes — and we recommend it for the more demanding cases such as All-on-4 or full-mouth rehabilitation. Our partner hotels offer twin and double rooms; the coordinator also organises a companion itinerary during your clinic visits.
Is the hotel walking distance from the clinic?
Yes. Our partner hotels in Nişantaşı are within 500 metres of the clinic on foot. On treatment days we still organise a dedicated hotel–clinic shuttle, so you do not need to think about transport — particularly after sedation or surgery.
Who meets me at the airport?
A dedicated driver from our logistics partner, with a name board, booked by your UK coordinator. The transfer is pre-paid: you do not handle cash or language. The coordinator sends the driver's details by WhatsApp 24 hours before arrival.
