Your first dental visit in Istanbul, hour by hour
From airport pickup to a written plan with prices, what actually happens on day one, with nothing skipped.
Arrival and transfer
A driver meets you inside the terminal with your name. The transfer to Şişli takes 40-60 minutes depending on which airport you flew into. Your coordinator messages you before you land and meets you at the clinic.
Imaging first, opinions second
A panoramic X-ray and, for implants, a 3D CT scan are taken before any discussion. Photographs and an intraoral scan follow. Only then does the dentist examine you, because an opinion formed before imaging is a guess.
The plan and the price
You get a written plan listing every unit, material and stage, with a total price and what it excludes. If it differs from the estimate given by photo, we explain exactly why, usually bone volume or a tooth that cannot be saved.
Starting the same day
Cleaning, extractions and preparation often begin the same afternoon if you agree. Nothing irreversible happens on day one without your written consent, and you are free to take the plan away and think.
The Ones People Actually Ask.
What if the plan is more expensive than the photo estimate?
You are under no obligation. We show you the scan and explain the difference; many patients proceed with a reduced plan instead.
