Dentakay Antalya is the Antalya branch of an 8-clinic Turkish chain founded in 2009, offering full-arch implants, crowns, and cosmetic work with integrated hotel and transfer packages. The logistics infrastructure is strong for dental tourists, but documented complaints about cost increases after arrival, scheduling failures, and at least one allegation of unnecessary treatment recommendations warrant caution for high-value cases. The 0 verified reviews across a large volume and near-uniform 5-star pattern reduce confidence in the review dataset.

Mark Archdale submitted to SmileJet 2.0 out of 5
Was quoted just under £8000, £4013 on first visit remainder on second. Understandably we thought it might increase but after xrays went upto nearly £24000. We did ask if we would need more money for first visit and was told no. After being …

The treatment provided by the clinic was of a very high standard, and they ultimately left my mum extremely happy with her crowns. She initially wasn’t satisfied with the first results, but the team showed great patience and …

Ryan mcfarland submitted to SmileJet 5.0 out of 5
Very happy with the service and treatment provided. They picked us up from airport and dropped us at our hotel, then took us to and from the hotel for appointments. My teeth are perfect and would definitely recommend.

We were impressed by their attentiveness; they were involved throughout the entire process, from patient reception to the doctors' care.
Joe Dignam submitted to SmileJet 5.0 out of 5
Brilliant from start to finish. 1st visit was really a life changing experience I couldn’t be happier with the treatment I’ve had from dentakay. 5* all round
Sean Farrell submitted to SmileJet 1.0 out of 5
Just completed my second visit and satisfied of my final results. No I'm not because I didn't fill this in a member of Dentakay staff did. This is me I'm having problems with my implants and as much as I reach out for help I'm getting no help from Dentakay I know my implants on my left top are not taking I know this because on first visit two of my implants on my right top did not take so I know…

the feeling as I been here before and it's very uncomfortable just like now I'm weeks asking for help and not getting any. I was told to get an x-ray but they already know no Dentist will touch you in Ireland so I was asked to pick some were in England so I pick Nottingham and Birmingham but then I was told they can't get me a appointment?? And they will keep trying that won't help me. I also put a review on trust pilot and I was told to take in down or lose your guarantee. So im stuck in limbo my name is Shane farrell I'm 57 years old . I'm also have some problems with my bite I can only eat on my right side as the left is bigger we're I'm have problems.

If I could have given zero stars, I would have! A friend came twice, the second time due to extremely serious problems. The work done was appalling and could have caused serious damage without proper follow-up. Don't trust the positive reviews. It's common practice here to post fake reviews. I know, I live here. It's a real money-making machine, and the care is shameful. She was lucky to find a…

a dentist in France (it's rare) who will try to fix it for her because he felt sorry for her and is stunned by the damage. In short, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Stephen Gallagher submitted to SmileJet 4.0 out of 5
Early stages but asked to write now. Been good, don't be scared of joke teeth only for 24 hours, the semi permanent are better ! Full extraction so painful but hopefully getting better.
Lewis Watts submitted to SmileJet 5.0 out of 5
From the moment I landed in Antalya to the second I took off, my experience with Dentakay was genuinely outstanding in every way. I was treated with a level of care, organisation, and attention that made the whole journey feel effortless and reassuring. Every transfer, appointment, and step of the treatment plan was handled smoothly, and I always felt looked after and fully informed. It wasn’t…

t just dental treatment — it was a fully supported experience where you never feel left on your own. The clinic itself is state of the art — absolutely spotless, modern, and equipped with the latest technology, which immediately gave me confidence that I was in the best possible place. A special mention has to go to Dr Ozdemir, who has genuinely changed my life. His work and attention to detail made a huge difference to my smile and confidence, and I felt completely safe in his hands throughout the process. Also, huge credit to the root canal specialist Sevgi — honestly one of the best I’ve ever experienced. Calm, precise, and clearly highly skilled, she made a difficult procedure feel controlled and manageable from start to finish. Overall, the whole team made me feel looked after like royalty. From clinical excellence to patient care and hospitality, Dentakay exceeded expectations in every possible way. If you’re thinking about getting dental work done, Dentakay is where it’s at — I genuinely couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Great experience from start to finish. Very attentive and very very professional and staff so helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable. Pick ups and drop off have been superb also. The clinic is state of the art and amazingly clean... Thanks Dentakay dental clinic
Fanny Bindner submitted to SmileJet 5.0 out of 5
A life changing experience. Walking away from the first part of my treatment a different woman. Couldn’t fault any member of staff in Antalya. Too many names to remember. Only negative was the consultation in Ireland. A little more transparency about pricing options once in Turkey would have avoided the surprise of the rather considerable difference between the original quote and the final amount,…

nothing to do with the scan but the options between implants. So make sure to ask the right questions about different implants etc, and get EVERYTHING down on paper. But aside from that I couldn’t fault them and looking forward to finishing my treatment in September. Also great hotel in Antalya! Thank you.

Dear Sir or Madam, The only aspect of using Dentakay which left me with a “bad taste in my mouth” was the fact that their was a discrepancy in the cost of the initial visit in which I would have extractions and Implants inserted as discussed with Ellister, on my first visit after a marathon two hour discussion with Remi we managed to come to a trade off and reasonable agreement and after that I…

I cannot fault the whole process from start to the finish of my visit, I was very satisfied with the initial consultation with the implant Surgeon and the surgery was pain free with the following days to ready my temporary dentures was also very efficient and I am very pleased with the result for the three months I have to wait till I get my fixed crowns, patiently waiting and looking forward to the return trip

Wyn submitted to SmileJet 5.0 out of 5
I am happy with the outcome. It didn't hurt as much as I thought. They made sure the bite and everything is fine. I am happy with the staff and the accommodation too. I will recommend to friends and family.

Dan Tilley submitted to SmileJet 5.0 out of 5
I was extremely nervous about coming here on my own - but it is the best thing I have done in my life. From the moment you land at the airport you are so well looked after, everyone you meet is so kind and can’t do enough for you. Hotel is beautiful and transfers are all on time and they keep you well informed. I will 100% come back here once a year for check ups - I would recommend this place…

ace to anyone over a UK dentist. I never imagined my teeth would look as perfect as they do now. Also a huge thank you to Dr Deiz for putting up with me being the most anxious patient in the world - you are a miracle worker!!

Andy De Haan submitted to SmileJet 5.0 out of 5
This my third time attending Danakay, once again a super impressive service, clinical clean, efficient, professional with competitive rates throughout my experience. I would recommend Denakay to anyone if you're considering dental work. Andy
