Smile Team Turkey Dental Clinic in Lara, Turkey

I just returned from my first trip to Smile Team clinic in Antalya two days ago and really need to write this review.

I live in NYC and here in US dental care is very good, but unfortunately it costs crazy amount of money to have done extensive work I needed to.

After most a year of very detailed research and considering different options I decided to go with Smile Team in Antalya.

I started my conversation on social media a was in touch with Natalie from the first hello until our arrival in Antalya. Natalie was very responsive, always answered my questions almost immediately and was very detailed oriented and positive in her responses. Thank you Natalie and I will talk to you soon our second trip by the end of this year.

After we arrived in Antalya we were greeted by the driver and he drove us to our hotel Pure Blanch. It is a small hotel, that caters mostly to dental tourists,mostly from UK.It is small, clean and offers free breakfast. The staff is friendly and eager to help with any questions.

The morning after our arrival, I was contacted by Smile Team front desk person Bahar, who explained to me how I will be notified about my appointments, how I meet the driver and everything else I needed. Thank you, Bahar. I really appreciate you.

The clinic is very high end, clean and uses state of the art equipment. At my arrival there I was really impressed.

I came to Antalya for pretty extensive procedure. I knew in advance there was a possibility of bone drafting and sinus lift surgery bilaterally ( on both sides ).

I also needed 10 extractions and 12 implants, All on six treatments on  both upper and lower jaws.

Pretty scary, huh?

Before you start your treatments They will introduce you to your personal case manager who will meet you every time you get to clinic, will be present with you to answer any questions etc.

My guy was EFE! What a nice young fella. He really took good care of me and was there for me all the time. EFE I thank you very much and can’t wait to see you and talk to you again in December. You’re the best!

My surgeon was Dr. Tolgahan. After my X-rays and tomography was taken, we discussed what would be the best treatment for me. I had 10 extractions, two sinus lifts, bone grafts in upper jaw and 12 implants ( six upper and six lower)

Dr. Tolgahan was able to do all of this in one almost 4 hours long surgery and I was done. No pain during, some swelling after, soreness post surgically, that’s all.

He is very skilled, experienced, highly educated dental surgeon. I can’t be more grateful he was the  one to do my procedure.

Thank you doc and see you soon!

I am very grateful for your dedication to you patients, your expertise, experience and skills. You really rock, doc!

Also I would like to thank his assistant BUSRA, who is very patient and friendly.

Because all my treatments require a bit longer time to heal, I can start my next and final round in 7-8 months. I seriously can not wait till December to see all these great people again.

Overall my entire experience with Smile Team exceed my expectations by at least 1000%. I only mentioned people I worked with and if I forgot anyone, please forgive me. They are all very good at what they do and you’ll feel like you’re  visiting your friends or family.

I appreciate every one of you guys and wish you all the best.

Thank you very much and see you soon in December. Can’t wait !

PS: Antalya is really very pretty and there is lot to do and see, so in between your treatments get ready for beautiful beaches, some historical sites, great Turkish food.  Turkish people  are very friendly and hospitality is great.

The greatest part of this journey for me was, getting my so needed treatments while enjoying myself and feeling like vacationing.

See you soon Smile Team. Best regards and you bet I will talk to everyone about you!

And if you’re reading this and are not sure still, just do it, you will not be sorry. I promise 

I will do follow up review after my second visit in December.
