Experience report on veneers treatment in Istanbul – Report from Saturday, October 31, 2015
In June, I had a consultation with Dr. Öztürk in Bern regarding dental treatment in Istanbul.
She recommended 8 ceramic veneers to me because I had dark discoloration on my jawbones due to an accident.
Dr. Öztürk had sterile instruments with her to examine my teeth very closely.
After much back and forth regarding scheduling and many questions, I spontaneously and at short notice (1 week before the appointment) decided to have the treatment in Turkey. I was thrilled that everything was perfectly organized despite the short notice!
Shortly after my confirmation, I received all the relevant information and documents for my trip.
When I arrived in Istanbul on Sunday evening, I was about 40 minutes late. The shuttle service waited for me even though other patients were still waiting in the vehicle.
The next morning I walked to the clinic as it was less than 5 minutes from the hotel.
I received a very warm welcome. Initially, I didn’t have an interpreter as she was with other patients. However, since the dentist spoke excellent English, this wasn’t a problem for me.
She explained the treatment process and the next steps to me precisely and patiently, and she took my wishes into account.
After my teeth were ground down and impressions were taken, I received a temporary crown, as the next appointment wasn’t until Wednesday.
So I had 2.5 days to explore Istanbul. Initially, I was afraid to travel to Istanbul alone as a woman, but this fear quickly subsided.
From the hotel, I often walked alone, for example to Taksim Square or the Cevahir shopping center. I had a city map with me so I could ask people for directions (everyone was very helpful, even though they only spoke Turkish :)). I never felt unsafe and got around very well.
On Wednesday and Thursday I had another fitting of the veneers, and in between I had plenty of time to visit the sights.
On Friday, the day finally arrived and the veneers were applied. I had a follow-up appointment on Saturday morning.
And the result is simply TOP!
I would book through MedicalTravel again anytime and have the treatment done by Dr. Öztürk in Istanbul, and I can recommend it to everyone!
Thank you so much for the uncomplicated and perfect service from MedicalTravel!
