- DentAkademi holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and is recognised in the GCR Global Top 10 Dental Clinics among 126,000 evaluated clinics worldwide.

You’ve been thinking about it for a while. Maybe you got a quote at home and the price stopped you. Maybe someone you know came back from Turkey with a smile you couldn’t stop looking at. Whatever brought you here — you’re asking the right question. This page exists to answer it honestly.
Travelling abroad for dental treatment feels like a big step. It isn’t — once you understand how it works. Thousands of patients from the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, the UAE, and North America make the journey to Istanbul every year. Most of them tell us the same thing after: “I wish I’d done this sooner.”
The hesitation is understandable. You’re trusting a clinic you’ve never visited, in a country you may not know well, with something that affects how you look, eat, and feel every day. So let’s address that directly.
DentAkademi in Numbers
Why Do Patients Travel to Istanbul for Dental Treatment?
Istanbul has become one of the world’s leading destinations for dental tourism, attracting patients from across Europe, the Gulf, North America, and beyond. The reasons are consistent across patient groups.
What Makes DentAkademi Different
13 Years of Clinical Experience
DentAkademi was founded in 2013 in Maltepe, Istanbul. What started as a 7-unit polyclinic has grown into one of Turkey’s largest dedicated dental health facilities — 2,500 m² of clinical space, 14 treatment rooms, 25 specialist dentists and surgeons, and more than 70,000 patients treated from 69 countries.
That number matters. Experience at this scale means our clinical team has encountered virtually every case complexity — straightforward cases and challenging ones, patients who are anxious, patients who’ve had failed treatment elsewhere, patients who haven’t seen a dentist in years.
Internationally Recognised Standards
DentAkademi holds ISO 9001:2015 certification — our clinical processes, sterilisation protocols, and patient safety standards are independently audited. We are recognised by GCR (Global Clinic Rating) as one of the Global Top 10 Dental Clinics, assessed among 126,000 clinics worldwide. These are verifiable, third-party assessments — not marketing claims.
The Implant Brands You Can Trust
We use Nobel Biocare, Straumann SLActive, Notch, and Implance implant systems — the same brands used in leading clinics across Europe and North America. CE-marked and FDA-cleared. Every implant comes with full documentation so your dentist at home can verify exactly what was placed. We do not use unbranded or low-cost implant systems. We never have.
A Team Built Around You
Every international patient is assigned a dedicated patient coordinator from the moment of first contact. Your coordinator speaks your language, answers your questions before and after treatment, arranges your airport transfer, and remains reachable by WhatsApp throughout your stay — and after you return home.

How Much Does Dental Treatment Cost in Istanbul?
The difference in cost isn’t because the quality is lower. It’s because operating costs, labour costs, and healthcare overheads in Turkey are structurally different from those in Western Europe. The materials are identical. The clinical protocols are equivalent. The outcome is the same — often better, because our team performs these procedures at far higher volume.

What Our Patients Say
“I needed 12 crowns and two implants. The quotes I got in the UK were completely out of reach. A colleague recommended DentAkademi. From the first message to the day I flew home, everything was handled. The work is exceptional. My dentist at home couldn’t believe the quality.”
“I was nervous about travelling alone for treatment. My coordinator messaged me every day before I arrived. When I got to the clinic, I felt completely at ease. The results are beyond what I expected.”
“Three years ago I got implants at DentAkademi. They still feel and look completely natural. I’ve since sent my sister and two friends. They all came back with the same result.”
