Overall score
Dentavie (drkundakcioglu.com) is a well-staffed multi-specialist clinic in Istanbul's Beyoglu district with credentialed dentists including a London-trained orthodontist and a Straumann-certified implantologist. Reviews are consistently positive with specific treatment outcomes and named staff, but all 50 are 5-star with zero verified, reducing authenticity confidence. Tourist infrastructure is solid with English support, WhatsApp, and accommodation coordination.
Authenticity
6/10All 50 reviews are 5-star, 0 verified. Named dentists (Samet, Meral Ece, Gulsah) match website. URL mismatch: listing links to drkundakcioglu.com but branded Dentavie -- possible rebrand.
Treatment quality
7/10Multiple reviews cite specific successful outcomes: veneers, implants, extractions, crowns, orthodontics. No failed work or rework complaints found across 50 reviews.
Cleanliness
8/10Multiple reviews describe clinic as 'immaculately clean', 'spotless', 'clean and hygienic'. No hygiene complaints found. Consistent across many independent reviews.
Team
7/10Dr. Abdulsamet Kundakcioglu (oral surgery, 15 yrs), Dr. Gulsah (ortho, trained London Royal College/Brussels), Dr. Meral Ece (aesthetic). Straumann provider, ITI and AAO certified.
Price value
7/10Bookimed shows implants from ~$350-$880. No price list on website -- contact required. Competitive for Istanbul market but transparency is limited for tourist planning.
Tourist suitability
7/10English-speaking doctor and Arabic-speaking staff confirmed. WhatsApp contact, video consultations, airport/hotel transfer, accommodation coordination (coordinator Majd named in review).
What comes up well
- Dr. Gulsah trained at London Royal College and Brussels
- Straumann official provider, ITI and AAO certified

Points to weigh
- All 50 reviews are 5-star with 0 verified -- uniform perfection raises authenticity concern
- Website URL on listing (drkundakcioglu.com) differs from Dentavie brand -- possible rebrand or profile confusion
- No price list on website -- tourists must contact clinic to get quotes

I needed some emergency treatment and they were very quick in offering me an appointment and the whole process went very smoothly. From reception staff to the dentist they were friendly, helpful, informative and professional.
This was my 2nd visit. First visit November 2025 2 February 2026. After extensive research I decided on choosing Dentavie based on good contact and follow up, good reviews and good pricing. I had some major dental work to be done and Dr. Dt. Abdulsamet Kundakçıoğlu the surgeon was great at recommending the best solution for my particular condition. The surgery was done without any issues…

successfully. Then Dr. Dt. Abdulsamet Kundakçıoğlu took care of the dentition work. I am very happy with the work that was done. Also the staff was great with personal attention to details. Communication in English was good and all my questions were answered. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Dentavie!
DO NOT COME HERE!! I am deeply disappointed with this dental clinic. I traveled internationally from the United States—twice—for my dental work: once for the initial appointment and again for the final procedure involving crowns and dental implants. Unfortunately, the entire experience felt rushed and impersonal. My appointments were rescheduled multiple times, and I was given very limited time…

me during each visit. The clinic was overcrowded, with patients constantly coming in and out, creating a hectic environment. Whenever I tried to ask questions or express concerns, I was brushed off with generic reassurances like “everything will be fine.” It was clear they were more focused on moving patients through quickly than providing attentive care. The most concerning issue is that the crown placed in April fell out by May. I mentioned feeling discomfort right after the procedure, but the staff dismissed it, saying it was normal and would resolve within a couple of days. It never did. When I contacted the clinic after the crown came out, their only response was to advise me to see a local dentist—despite knowing I had traveled internationally and could not return easily. What’s most upsetting is that this clinic seems to prioritize volume over quality. I spent a significant amount of money—not just on the dental work, but also on international flights, hotels, and transportation—with the expectation of receiving professional, lasting care. Instead, I’m left with a failed procedure and no real support.
I cannot recommend this clinic enough! I had composite bonding on my two front teeth purely for aesthetic reasons, and from the very first consultation I felt completely at ease. The dentist was incredibly thorough, assessing my bite, alignment, and overall suitability, and she was so realistic and honest about what could be achieved. She even demonstrated the potential result temporarily on my…

y tooth so I could make a fully informed decision, which I really appreciated. There was absolutely no upselling or pressure. I was given a clear price and that was it. This was such a refreshing contrast to other clinics who tried to tell me I’d need far more work than I wanted - 8 upper and 8 lower instead of just the 2 front which was insane. This clinic did none of that. The dentist really took her time and was meticulous, and the results speak for themselves. My teeth are flawless, natural-looking, and exactly what I wanted. The transparency, shape, and colour are perfect—you genuinely wouldn’t know they’re composite bonding. I’m absolutely thrilled with my smile. If I’m ever back in Istanbul, I’ll definitely return for polishing, knowing I’ll be treated honestly and ethically. A truly fantastic clinic. If you’re considering improving your smile, you’ll be in very safe hands here. Highly recommended!!
I am dealing with an ongoing dental problem, as a consequence of post cancer surgery and radiotherapy. My relationship and trust in my dental expert is crucial; not only does he do a wonderful technical job for me, but everything is explained with great patience and care, and empathy. I listen, question occasionally, but have complete trust band confidence in denstist Samet and his work, thanks.…

staff always lovely, and we are treated as 'old friends'
The İstanbul Dental Clinic Turkey was clean, bright with friendly receptionists. The Waiting Room was clean, bright and comfortable. I only waited a few minutes before being invited to see the dentist. The dentist was welcoming and professional - the dentist explained what he was planning to check - it kept me informed and relaxed.
I have dental anxiety and even a cleaning is a lot for my nervous system. I was treated with compassion and kindness as I needed to take several breaks during my cleaning and filing. I feel grateful for the professionalism of Dr. Ezgi and the team at Dentavie. I trusted them enough to come back the next day for teeth whitening. Thank you to the whole team!
Once the issue has been diagnosed the options for possible dental treatment are always explained very clearly and I'm not put under any pressure. The treatment is always first class and I always feel better when I leave afterwards! İstanbul Dental Clinic Turkey team is very professional, friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this practice without any hesitation.
Being quite a nervous patient and extremely reluctant to visit a dentist, I was made to feel very comfortable and given reassuring advice. I have no qualms about a repeat visit.
I needed to see the hygienist, it had been over 6 years since my last visit. My last visit was so painful that it actually put me off going back. I was assured that the hygienist would take my fears into consideration, and he did :) I do however I do need a couple more visits as you can imagine it had been 6 years but I am very happy to go back and have the work finished.
I took my son to the İstanbul Dental Clinic Turkey today to have his brace fitted. My son suffers from Anxiety and Panic Attacks and for the last 18 months he has had theory and homeopathic treatments. He was feeling anxious today but Samet and his dental assistant put my son at ease. They were amazing, so calm with him and very patient. I cannot thank them enough and he came away happy and said…

it wasn’t that bad. Thank you
Brilliant service as always from the team at İstanbul Dental Clinic Turkey . The reception/front of house team are always so friendly. I get real individual care and I feel so relaxed, so much so, I nearly fell asleep during my hygiene check up. Keep doing what you do - thank you
Having not seen a dentist for a while, I required four fillings. These were completed at two weekly intervals. Every aspect of the treatment was pain free and everything was explained to me. I can't thank my wonderful dentist Samet and his caring nurse enough.
Thorough exam, including the x rays being explained and a scale and polish. Informative and pleasant experience with the knowledgeable Samet . The music quietly in the background was a pleasant bonus!
I'm not a fan of going to the dentists, however the staff are always professional, helpful and friendly, that they put me at ease. My whole family are signed up and they are always amazing at getting us booked in together while advising how to keep our teeth in tip top condition.
Amazing dental practice from day 1 and I have been there 8 years - I wouldn't go anywhere else! Great team, very clean practice... the best!

Thank you for the excellent service. I'm very happy with the care and attention I received during my dental filling. The procedure was smooth, and I appreciate how comfortable the experience was. I feel confident in the quality of the work done. Much appreciated.
Extremely professional dentist who take time to explain what is required to give you the best treatment. Been using this group of dentists for 7 years.
From the moment you walk into reception you feel at ease . All the staff are friendly , welcoming non judgemental encouraging and make the experience as pleasant as possible . I’ve been going for over 6 yrs so they must be doing it right . Don’t hesitate to go .
As always, a totally problem free visit. Lovely clean practice with welcoming staff and highly skilled dentists. Reasonable prices too for the private treatments available with plans if needed
Waited minimal time for my appointment, was seeing the hygienist who I can absolutely recommend as he is so gentle, and gives good advice.
The dentist Samet, is a great dentist professional, caring and always polite, the surgery and receptionists are polite too ,I'd recommend this practice for sure
Would have no reservations in recommending this practice. Clean and efficient environment and consultation. Procedure explained fully with honesty and integrity. All the pitfalls and the upsides given priority, cost and length of the full procedure given in full.
