Dental treatment in Istanbul, end of July 2019
I hadn’t planned to have dental treatment in Istanbul. But just before my departure, my friends cancelled and I flew alone. My teeth had always been a concern for me.

So, what to do with the time in Istanbul? I had already lived there for a whole month and had fallen in love with the city. The people are friendly, public transport works perfectly, and I find the city cleaner than Zurich.

So, I asked my Turkish friends for a recommendation. However, they couldn’t help me with German- or English-speaking doctors.

So, I googled it. First result: Swiss Center Dent. A detailed description and the contact MEDICALTRAVEL.CH. I made an inquiry – quick response and an appointment was scheduled.

I was taken aback when the dentist at Swiss Center Dent introduced herself in Swiss German. A state-of-the-art practice, a diligent DOCTOR who first addressed the medical requirements – this after such a thorough examination, which I had never experienced in Switzerland. My decision was made immediately. Later that same afternoon, we began the ‘restoration’. I also met the dental technician and experienced another boost of confidence. After 8 days, I left with a mouth that was almost fully repaired (in terms of time) – with the certainty that I could visit the practice in Zurich at any time.

Three weeks later, the final check-up took place there. Completely satisfied! Even more – happy. The doctor has immense professionalism, precision, and kindness. She also explains every step; you never feel left in the dark. And last but not least, at a price that’s absolutely top-notch. At the end of the treatment, the driver from Swiss Center Dent took me directly to the airport, where I happily began my journey home. A compliment to Turkish Airlines is also in order.
