Why You Should Get Your Teeth Done in Turkey?

Of course, you can have your dental treatment in Turkey safely. Turkey, the fastest growing country in dental tourism, hosts 130 000 foreign dental tourists every year.

Because if the rights of ill-treated patients were to be protected, a formal complaint mechanism should have been implemented. If they had done so, the necessary compensation and treatment would have been provided for the victimized patient, and Turkey would have gotten rid of that kind of clinic.
Associating bad examples with the entire country would be a very wrong assessment.
Here are the honest comments of a Hungarian cosmetic dentist, Arshavi, for a youtube video;
“…..I have treated many patients from the UK who have received substandardly and messed up low-quality treatments in the UK. We have to completely redo things…hearing from my colleagues in the UK that they have to use cheaper types of implants as people can’t afford to pay….”
