That perfect set of pearly whites is something that almost everyone aspires to, with celebrity smiles lighting up the red carpets at high profile events and making us turn positively green with envy. But from crowns or implants to a full set of veneers, today, it’s easier than ever to get the sparkling smile you’ve always dreamed of, no matter how your teeth look currently – and the whole experience can be luxurious, seamless and hassle free.
Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in recent years, and there’s now no need to settle for any less than perfect. But while there are some excellent cosmetic dentists available to choose from here in the UK, a growing number of us are instead opting to travel abroad to Turkey to receive treatment. Is it the chance to combine a lavish sunshine holiday with their appointment? Perhaps in part – but there are several other reasons that jetting off to warmer climes is becoming a popular choice amongst those seeking dental treatment.
Superior packages, a high standard of services and greater availability are all big draws, and because Turkey is home to some of the very best dental professionals and clinics in the world, it’s perhaps little wonder that more UK patients are choosing it each year. And, with dental treatment becoming increasingly hard to come by on British soil following months of cancellations during the Covid-19 pandemic – when an estimated 43 million appointments were lost – and a lengthy backlog to be cleared as a result, the chance to jet off to Turkey for a faster turnaround is looking more appealing than ever.
State-of-the-art luxury dental clinic group Dentakay is one of the top dental clinics in Turkey, and having treated just 15 patients from the UK in the first year following the opening of its first clinic back in 2008, the numbers this year are expected to finish closer to 2,000. Proof, if you needed it, that flying to Turkey for a smile makeover is a trend that’s still on the rise.
Based in Istanbul – the nation’s cultural hub – and operated by some of the nation’s very finest dentists, the practice has become renowned for excellence over its 14 years of operation, has attracted some well-known clients from across the globe thanks to its glowing reputation, and has since opened several more clinics in the city to keep up with demand from both Turkish patients and medical tourists from across the globe. Due to the surging popularity in medical tourism from British shores in particular, it is also soon set to open its first consultation centre in London, where anyone considering travelling to Turkey for treatment can meet with Dentakay to have their case assessed before they fly.
Since the beginning, Dentakay has made giving its customers the luxury treatment a priority, which is likely another reason affluent UK customers are choosing the brand over other competitors in Turkey. And, while medical tourists can benefit from great prices in Turkey due to the weaker Turkish Lira compared with the British pound, many find they actually get more for their money, with the Dentakay group pulling out all the stops to inject a little opulence.
As well as offering fast access to world-class treatment, Dentakay provides a host of complimentary services, with hotel accommodation and a private luxury car and driver to transport you between the clinic, hotel and airport throughout your treatment both included. On that note, the clinics are also conveniently located close to the airport, which means the journey to and from is short – although some patients do choose to extend their stay in Turkey to immerse themselves in the fascinating culture, see some sights and soak up some rays during the warmer months.
Once inside one of the brand’s modern and sophisticated clinics, you can’t help but feel right at home, with a team of gentle yet experienced staff putting clients immediately at ease before waving their magic wands and bringing your dream smile to life. The aesthetics are designed to make you feel instantly relaxed and comfortable about the rest of the experience, and ultimately, getting your brand new smile.
Offering a full range of dental treatments ranging from teeth whitening to dental implants and crowns, orthodontics and even jaw surgery where required, there’s almost nothing that Dentakay’s cosmetic dentists can’t fix or improve.
The group provides a seamless service from start to finish, and its dedicated customer care team is on hand before and after treatment to check in with patients and ensure that everything has run smoothly. So, any concerns post treatment, they’ve always got their clients’ backs.
