How it works

We do the comparing. You make the decision.

Getting dental treatment in Turkey from the UK usually means messaging a dozen clinics, getting quotes you can’t compare, and hoping for the best. Here’s how we do it instead, step by step.

The four steps

  1. 1

    Tell us what you need · 2 minutes

    Fill in the short form, or message us on WhatsApp. Add photos or a recent X-ray if you have them. If you don't, that's fine: we'll tell you what clinics need to give you a real plan.

  2. 2

    We shortlist clinics and get plans · Reply within 24 hours

    We send your case only to vetted clinics in Istanbul and Antalya that do your treatment regularly, and ask the questions you'd want answered: who treats you, which implant brand or material, how many trips, and what's included.

  3. 3

    You compare written quotes side by side · Usually within a few days

    One comparison in GBP: treatment plan, materials, number of trips and days, warranty and remedial terms, and the total price. You see each clinic's name and the treating dentist before you decide.

  4. 4

    We stay with you, there and back home · Before, during and after

    Airport pick-up, appointments, a coordinator on WhatsApp throughout, your full records before you fly home, and check-ins one week, one month and six months after you get back.

What's in every quote we send you

Quotes from different clinics are only useful if you can compare them like for like. Every quote shows:

  • The clinic's name and the dentist who will treat you
  • The treatment plan, tooth by tooth
  • Materials and implant brands, named
  • Number of trips and days in Turkey for each
  • What's included: X-rays and scans, temporaries, hotel, transfers
  • The written warranty and remedial terms, including who pays for corrective work, flights and hotel
  • The total price in GBP

Your trip

Veneers and crowns usually take one trip of 5–10 days. Implants usually take two, with 3–6 months of healing at home in between. You’ll know the plan, and how long each trip takes, before you book.

  • Airport pick-up and transfers between your hotel and the clinic
  • A coordinator on WhatsApp, in English, for the whole trip
  • Someone to help with questions at the clinic, in Turkish
  • Your full records pack checked before you fly home

Once you're home

We check in one week, one month and six months after you get back. If anything doesn’t feel right in between, you message us and we take it up with the clinic for you.

What we don't do

  • We don’t treat you. Smile Advocates is a patient coordinator. Your treatment is carried out by an independent, licensed clinic, which is responsible for your clinical care.
  • We don’t charge you. Clinics pay us, and only if you go ahead. How we’re paid.
  • We don’t pressure you. No sales calls, no deadlines, no “today only” prices.
