How cases are handled here
Every international case begins the same way: your photographs and radiographs are looked at before anyone talks about price or travel. If the records are not good enough to plan from, you are told what else is needed rather than given an estimate that will change later.
The written preliminary plan names which treatments are in play, which materials are under consideration, how many appointments to expect and how long you would be likely to need in Ankara — along with whatever still has to be confirmed at the examination. It exists so that you can take it away, think about it, and compare it with an opinion at home if you want to. The examination is where the plan becomes definite.
Where a case would be better treated at home — because it needs long-term monitoring, or because the travel makes the staging worse — that is said plainly. A practice that never declines anything is not being careful with you.
Small practice, full attention.
What makes treatment abroad difficult is rarely the price. It is not knowing what will actually happen. The rules below exist to remove that.
You deal with the person treating you
Your assessment, your plan and the running of your treatment sit with the same dentist. Nothing is delegated to a coordinator who has never seen your radiograph.
You know what to expect before the flight
You know which treatments are in play, how many appointments and the expected length of stay, in writing, before you commit to travelling. The plan and the cost become definite at the examination in Ankara, and anything that changes is explained rather than silently invoiced.
Your language throughout
Consultation, treatment plan, consent and aftercare instructions are available in German, English and Turkish. You should never have to consent to something you only half understood.
Three more reasons
The whole trip is coordinated
Once you decide to proceed, flights, accommodation, airport pick-up and appointment sequencing can be arranged as one itinerary.
Aftercare does not end at the airport
You leave with written aftercare instructions and a documented record of what was done, in a form your dentist at home can act on.
Honest limits
Some cases are better treated at home, and some are better treated in stages. You will be told which yours is before you book anything.
A complex case is never one step.
An implant case rarely ends at the implant. Surgical planning, the prosthetic design and the laboratory work all belong to the same plan. Sequencing them, and leaving the right gaps between them, is our job rather than yours.
Surgical planning
Whether there is enough bone, whether a graft is needed, what angle the fixture should sit at. Answered before treatment starts, not during it.
Implantology
The system, the position and the healing time are chosen for your case — not for whatever the practice is in the habit of using.
Prosthetic planning
How the restoration will look, and how you will chew on it, is settled before the implant goes in. Done the other way round, the result has to be forced.
The other areas a case can call forAesthetic planning, restorative work, and the laboratory side of a case.
Aesthetic dentistry
Shade, shape and smile line are judged against your face and your bite. The shade guide is the last thing anyone looks at.
Restorative and general treatment
Whether an aesthetic or implant result lasts usually depends on what has to be sorted out first. That goes into the plan at the start.
Working with the laboratory
Zirconia, glass ceramic and implant-supported work are planned together with the laboratory. The material is named in your treatment plan.
Who runs the sequence
Where a case needs several stages, putting them in the right order, talking to the laboratory and arranging the appointments around them is our work, not yours. You keep one point of contact: the dentist who planned the case. If you are travelling in, it also means the flight is booked around the treatment schedule rather than the other way round.
Scope of practice
Saliha Yıldırım practises dentistry: implantology, cosmetic, restorative and general dental treatment. Any future medical-aesthetic services offered through this site would be delivered by separate partner clinics and their own clinicians, and would be labelled as such on every page.
Start with the assessment.
Send your photographs and a short description of what is bothering you. You will receive a first assessment and, where possible, a written preliminary plan — before any question of travel comes up.
