I decided on Dental implants after years of gum problems due to a long-term medical condition. I chose Dentaliva after doing extensive research which included competitive costs, but more importantly … the result.
From the very beginning, my contact, Omer Gul was helpful and personable. Omer was my person on the phone from start, to finish and beyond. He was there at Harley Street for the consultation with Dr Omer Faruk Tani which was where my initial x-rays were taken and where Dr Faruk explained the process, result and included with using Dentaliva. The price included all transfers and hotel stays which include things like towels, toiletries, a hairdryer and a buffet style hot and cold breakfast, which at both hotels I stayed in was superb. The only extra you may need are extra charging plugs depending on the hotel.
On the first visit, the extractions, fillers and implants were performed by the surgeon Dr Babuccu and I’m not going to lie, it was intense. It does include hours in a Dentist chair, of course it does but Dr Babuccu put my mind at ease and explained the process throughout with patience and a calmness which was appreciated. I left Istanbul the first time with a set of Dentures and a timeline of five months to return after enough time for my gums to harden and heal.
The second and final visit was in a different part of Istanbul, and the Dentist there was Dr Ibrahim Talha Mese. He was the last of the Dentaliva team and the one to finally gave me my smile back after years of smiling small. There was more downtime on this visit which included picking colours and wearing temporary ‘screw in teeth’ to test for comfort. He was yet another lovely person and the last of the team to work on my mouth.
Internet in the hotels and the Dentist is brilliant, but if you want to explore Istanbul then I would recommend buying internet from an app like Airlo instead of the hotel to save money. Your own mobile internet is unlikely to work out there, and you will need it if you want to explore the area which I would definitely recommend. I would also recommend downloading some films etc before you go as the hotels only have one news channel in English which can become monotonous when you have watched the same thing several times.
All in all, everyone, including the dental Nurses and the transfer drivers made the whole experience easy and I can’t express how happy I am with the result. My teeth felt like mine as soon as they were put in and more importantly, they look natural. The cost was a fraction of what it would have cost in the UK and the result is phenomenal. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dentaliva to anyone who is thinking of having dental implants.
