Dental tourism works well when you pick a clinic the way you would pick a surgeon at home: credentials, diagnostics, a written plan and clear aftercare — not the lowest WhatsApp number. Use this checklist before you pay a deposit or book flights to Izmir.
Start with clinicians, not only clinic photos
Browse our doctor pages for Dt. Dilara Şentüfekci, Uzm. Dt. Sare Eröz Öztürk, Dt. Duygu Çifçi and Dt. Müzeyyen Kider — then ask how your case would be assigned.
- Named dentists with roles and focus areas on the site
- Specialist involvement when the case needs periodontics or surgery
- Willingness to explain who leads surgery vs prosthetic stages
Diagnostics you should expect
A quote without seeing bone or bite is only a conversation starter. Treat “guaranteed” prices before assessment as a red flag.
- Recent imaging — ideally CBCT for implants and full-arch plans
- Bite and gum assessment before irreversible prep
- A plan that can change after the in-clinic exam (and says so upfront)
Written plan, visits and aftercare
MSA Smile International lists UK and Germany support numbers on site and aims to reply to free consultations within 24 hours.
- Number of visits and what is temporary vs final
- Material and brand options explained in plain English
- Aftercare instructions once you are home in the UK, Ireland or Germany
- Official phone / WhatsApp channels — not random personal accounts
Red flags
Good clinics welcome careful questions. If something feels rushed, pause and compare at least one other reputable option.
- Pressure to pay large deposits the same day you first message
- No named clinician or no before/after context
- Promises that every implant case finishes in a long weekend
- Unwillingness to discuss complications or alternatives
