#Implantdentaireturquie I would like to share my experience to warn others about the treatment I received from Dr. Halil Nihat Kara I had 4 dental implants placed and zirconia crowns installed on all my teeth in 2024. After few months, I returned to Istanbul to have crowns placed on the 4 implants. However, within just six months, a bridge of 4 crowns supported by 2 implants cracked. I had to fly…

fly back to Turkey again, where the doctor removed the damaged crowns and placed an additional implant. Now I am being told that I will need to return again in six months. All this time I cannot smile, laugh, even speak due to absence of teeth. I live and work in the United States, and all travel expenses—including flights, airport transfers, hotel stays, and food—are paid out of my own pocket. In addition, I have to take unpaid time off work for each trip. When I raised concerns, the doctor simply said, “it happens.” Meanwhile, the crowns on my other teeth are now chipping as well. At this point, I am afraid to return. I have asked for a refund for the remaining 5 crowns so I can seek treatment from another dentist, as I no longer trust this doctor. Instead of addressing my concerns professionally, the assistant/translator told me to “think positively,” suggesting that otherwise I might bring even worse consequences upon myself. This is highly unprofessional. Based on my experience, I strongly advise others to be cautious and think carefully before choosing this provider.
First of all, I want to mention that after several years of searching and making contacts, I was finally able to find Dr. Kara's practice, which answered all my questions and met all my requirements. The work is remarkable, the team is attentive, and the follow-up is professional. The results are immediate; the implants are original implants, and for any questions, you have Rassim, Dr. Kara, and…

nd his team available to reassure you through WhatsApp photos and phone calls. Honestly, an unforgettable experience... Dr. Kara's office is the ideal place to have your teeth redone and be created. Of course, you will find several offices that seem the same. But we always create a draft before the final product, and Dr. Kara's office is THE masterpiece. I searched for several years to be sure, and through my contacts, I found Dr. Kara and his team. Rassim is there to answer all your questions, and the follow-up is remarkable, both in person and remotely.
In January 2024, I went to this clinic and, frankly, I deeply regretted it! I had 15 zirconium dioxide crowns placed. On the first day, they ground down healthy teeth without pulpitis, then asked for a full prepayment. This request greatly confused me, and we agreed to pay part of the cost and the rest at the end of the service. Upon returning home three days later, the bridge on the right side…

broke. A couple of days later, aching pain began in the areas where the crowns were placed. Seven months have passed, and the pain in my teeth under the crowns still bothers me, along with numbness in my lower jaw. I do not recommend this clinic or Dr. Hali Kara; I got the impression that they were trying to make an easy buck by providing poor service.
This doctor is a genius; he can give anyone a beautiful smile! A humble and wise man, he has a solution for everything—the best dentist I've ever known 💔 …
I had six implants placed in France because my health insurance covered them. However, there was no reimbursement for the full prosthesis. So I got a quote in France for €6,800 and another in Turkey for €2,800. My husband had already been to Dr. Kara and was very satisfied, so I went to Turkey and I must say that I am delighted, both professionally and personally. A big thank you to the whole…

team.
The staff were very attentive and professional; I recommend them to all my friends and family for any type of dental care.
Everything was perfect. A super professional dentist, quick and efficient. The staff takes excellent care of you, and Rasim handles everything. A very warm welcome, well-organized, and a fantastic job done. I highly recommend them.
Extraordinary work. Efficiency. Warm welcome. A promise kept. Time is of the essence. Clean work. Wasim is a very good man. He's become almost like family. I highly recommend both the doctor and the translator. The doctor is very competent, smiling, and funny. And the young nurse was like a father to me, comforting and pampering me when I needed it, given my age. Honestly, nothing to say in any…

sense of the word. You have to experience it to believe it. I recommend this wonderful and very, very good team. You can go without hesitation.
Thank you to Dr. Kara, Rasim, the assistants, and the rest of the team, who are truly attentive, professional, and competent. The work was meticulous, and the results were excellent.
I highly recommend Dr. Halil Nihat Kara if you're considering implants. The work is perfect, on par with dentists in France. The welcome is warm, and Rasim, the interpreter/coordinator, is fantastic; he took care of everything (hotel, transportation, etc.). As for the price, it's almost 50% cheaper than in France. Istanbul is a beautiful city, and you feel safe. You'll have time to explore the…

Thank you to Dr. Kara and his entire team; thanks to them, I can smile, eat, and live normally again. The welcome we received was exceptional. He's a magician! A huge thank you to Rasim, who accompanied us throughout this entire journey.
Honestly, I really appreciate their perfection, cleanliness, and attentiveness. They listen to the patient and are impeccable. I highly recommend them.
After years of hesitation due to the wide range of options available, I finally chose Dr. Kara Halil's practice for my dental surgery. I went to Dr. Kara's office in September 2024 to have 11 implants placed on my upper and lower teeth, and then returned in February 2025 for the placement of 24 Emax zirconia crowns. Months after that last appointment, I'm back to leave a comment expressing my…

My father came in a few days ago to get dental implants. The results are incredible. He is more than satisfied with the welcome, the follow-up, and the staff's efficiency. He recommends this clinic 100%. Djamal L.
Hi I traveled from the United States from Chicago to get dental work done. I been trying on many different occasions trying get some implants and crowns done in the United States. only to find out that it was extremely expensive and out of my reach financially for me. at this point I ran into some advertisement about dental implants after about one month of extensive research. I had a lot of…

different ideas and pricing. it there was handful of places with each one telling a different story. and then I had seen some advertisement from Dr. kara about Straumann implants and zirconia crowns that they were two different types of straumann implants and when I started checking out all the quotes that I had received it were not for the originals straumanns which that Dr Kara was talking about at that point I made the best decision that I could make. I put a phone calling to talk to Dr kara I spoke to his assistant Rasim who is so helpful and explained to me that that Dr Kara was out of the country and will return Sunday. on Sunday evening I received a call from Dr. Kara who explained the whole process to me in a very simple manner. explained to me that it was pretty much pain-free gave me the true cost of it. nothing complactade gave me a few options at that time and gave me all the pricing in advance. I set my first appointment up sometime in May off this yearend booked my ticket to go to turkey. where I was picked up as promise at the air port taken to my hotel on that Sunday I was warmly greeted from transportation to hotel service that was provided by Dr kara. Rasim who is Dr Karas patient relation manager over seen the hole process and discussed everything is fine detail with me and made tracing out of the country so easy to do a big THANKS To Rasim for all he's support and work behind the seen he is blessing to have and a friend for life. as my consultation we made a simple plan on two visits.on the fist visit we did some distractions cleaned out some infections that were treated and some straumanns implant were put in 8 in total this was completely pain-free I could not believe how gentle this doctor was and how simple this process was. in 6 1/2 hours I was on my way back to my hote.l were Rasim had taken the time out to to order me some soup mashed potatoes that I had to ask for incredible service for a dental clinic. and incredible team that consist of five professional people that work from start to finish.a few day later I got my Final check up and was given clearance to go home. in which I was asked to return in 3 to 4 months to receive Zirconia crowns.this week was my second visit it took 3 trips to complete. the work was again pain free AMAZING. I stood a total of 10 days 3 add days just to make sure there was no problems.and there was none. I received a DREAM SMILE that I never thought was possible for a price that is un heard of. I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW APPRECIATIVE I AM OF THE WHOLE TEAM AT THIS CLINIC. again thanks for all that you did for me Robert Pauta
I am very satisfied with Dr. Kara's work; he is very professional. I was apprehensive, but the whole team was attentive and reassuring throughout the process. I would also like to thank Rasim for his wonderful work within this team.
Despite my lifelong fear of the dentist, Dr. Halil Nihat Kara and his team put me at ease and placed six Straumann implants and 27 zirconia crowns. I highly recommend this dental clinic for the quality of their implants. The welcome was warm and the staff very professional. The care was excellent from beginning to end. Furthermore, the nearby hotel was reasonably priced and comfortable, which made…

my stay even more enjoyable. Thank you to the entire team for their dedication and expertise!
I would like to thank Dr. Kara and his entire team, not forgetting Mr. Rassim, who is incredibly attentive to everyone. He is a very kind and professional person. As for Dr. Kara, he is simply a master of prosthetics; he finds a solution to every problem. I think I will even have my minor procedures done at his office. The trip is definitely worth it. Thank you again. SAMY

simply an artist🥰🥰🥰I will never forget you ❤❤❤
I underwent several dental implant procedures to replace missing teeth, with impeccable results. My wife had veneers fitted to give her a Hollywood smile, which turned out very well. Dr. Kara is very competent and well assisted by his dental assistant, Ms. Canan, as well as his French translator, Mr. Rasim, and his English translator, Ms. Canan. I highly recommend him without hesitation.
Could you please tell me the price for fitting all the teeth in an adult's mouth? I'd like to inquire for my husband, who can no longer eat with braces. Since his dentist fitted them, he eats very small amounts, and I'm worried about his health. Thank you.
