Amazing experience! Professional team, very clean clinic, and excellent results. Special thanks to Isma, the medical consultant, for the great support and clear communication throughout the whole process. Highly recommended!
Excellent clinic! Professional and friendly staff, painless procedure, and visible results. I highly recommend it to everyone!
Don't trust the reviews; it's often their friends who give 5 stars. This "clinic"—more like a dental building—is staffed by dentists who want to quickly fit crowns and send you home! A disgrace! If you want veneers, do it in your home country, not here!

I strongly advise against this clinic… One of the worst experiences of my life… First of all, upon arrival, I was surprised to see a two-story building, not a clinic… On the phone, it was clearly agreed with my contact, Nour, that I would be getting 16 E-max veneers (8 on top, 8 on the bottom). At no point was there any mention of using an internal zirconium framework or modifying the planned…

ed procedure. Once there, I discovered a completely different plan, involving zirconia inside and significant tooth preparation. This change had never been explained or agreed upon with me beforehand. For such an invasive and irreversible treatment, this is unacceptable. The worst part? I was offered to start filing my teeth after a 30-minute consultation with the dentist… No follow-up medical examination, no X-rays… They just want to be as quick as possible and not waste any time… Unbelievable. Regarding the French-speaking representative named Nour, I never actually saw her, despite her claiming to be in the office. No meeting, no real presence. This strongly suggests an external intermediary who isn't even in Istanbul, an invisible person probably in another country, acting as a go-between for French-speaking patients and the "clinic," without any direct, transparent connection to the medical team on site, who doesn't speak a word of French… 🤦🏻♂️ When we're talking about permanent dental procedures, the very least one should expect is clear, open, and face-to-face communication. There's a real lack of transparency here, and it raises serious questions. Once they realized I wasn't going to follow the treatment they'd recommended for my "well-being," the clinic rushed to call the hotel where I was staying to charge me for the two nights, which cost €200. I was supposed to stay nine nights. They simply don't want to listen to you because your choices take too much time and are too difficult to implement. For me, it was a complete waste of time... You're considered medical tourism in their eyes. They don't care about follow-up, well-being, side effects, etc. In short, I decided to have it done at home in Brussels. It's more expensive, admittedly, but at least there's a proper process and a real dentist who takes their time. I strongly advise against committing to anything without demanding everything in writing and without meeting in person with those responsible for the follow-up care.

Thank you for your feedback. During your visit, you had a full clinical consultation with our doctor. You also confirmed that our diagnosis was consistent with what your own dentist in Belgium had already explained to you — that you have a crossbite, which creates excessive pressure on the teeth and significantly increases the risk of veneer failure or detachment over time. Based on this medical reality, we gave you honest and ethical advice that veneers were not suitable for your condition. Our priority is always the long-term health and safety of our patients, even if that means refusing to perform a treatment. We do not see patients as commercial cases, and we do not provide procedures that may harm them in the future. For this reason, we declined to proceed with veneers because they were not clinically appropriate for you. We respect your right to share your opinion. However, we stand by our professional, academic, and ethical diagnosis. In fact, we will leave your review as it is, because it reflects that our clinic chooses medical integrity over unnecessary treatment. Thank you again for your feedback. We would also like to clarify that the radiographic imaging and the full clinical examination with the doctor were provided completely free of charge, and the only cost you were responsible for was the hotel accommodation included in the transportation package.
I had my first visit for a dental implant at LaViva Dental Clinic in Istanbul, and the experience exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, the anesthesia application was completely painless, which immediately put me at ease. The doctor is very knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything clearly, and communicated in a professional and reassuring way throughout the visit. The staff are…

re extremely friendly, respectful, and very accommodating. They genuinely make you feel comfortable and welcome, not rushed at all. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and well-organized, which added to the overall confidence and comfort. The location is excellent — very close to the famous Taksim Square, making it easy to reach. I was also pleasantly surprised that they offered a free airport pickup, even though I did not take their package deal that includes hotel and transportation. I appreciated the flexibility, as I wanted to book my own hotel in a specific area. Overall, this was a smooth, professional, and stress-free first visit. I highly recommend LaViva Dental Clinic to anyone considering dental implants or dental treatment in Istanbul.

appointments . They fully explained what was needed and even though I was nervous I went thru with the procedure , and I am so happy that I did . I had full extractions and 16 implants placed that came out flawlessly . Procedure was painless - I choose sedation for my own benefit and I didn’t feel a thing other then some light pressure afterwards .I just received my fixed temporary teeth just an few hours ago and I couldn’t be happier . They truly are caring people . Even with all the travel I have no regrets and only wished I did this years ago . I will return late spring for my permanent teeth and will update everyone on this .Thank you Rasha and the entire team at Laviva clinic , you have exceeded my expectations and also educated me and settled my nervous on doing this procedure .

About
What this clinic actually does.
Laviva Clinic occupies a prominent address in Istanbul's Sisli district — one of the city's most accessible and cosmopolitan neighbourhoods — and has positioned itself as a full-service destination for international patients combining dental treatment with the broader medical tourism experience. The clinic's operating address at Iskenderoglu Sk. No:45, Sisli/Istanbul places it within easy reach of major hotels and transport connections.
The clinic holds recognition from both the Turkish Dental Association and the European Dental Council, and operates under regulation by the Turkish Ministry of Health. These credentials signal a commitment to operating within verified professional frameworks rather than the unregulated end of Istanbul's dental market. The clinic employs internationally certified specialists and uses CAD/CAM digital dentistry technology alongside laser treatment protocols.

Dr. Wahid Kethkhada leads the dental division and brings over 15 years of experience in veneer placement — a reassurance for patients pursuing complex aesthetic work.
Laviva's warranty structure is notably generous: 10–15 years on dental implants, 5–10 years on crowns and veneers, and 2–5 years on general treatments with proper maintenance. For patients travelling from abroad, this long-term guarantee provides meaningful protection on a significant investment.
The patient experience is built around end-to-end coordination. Airport transportation and hotel accommodation are arranged by the clinic, multilingual medical interpreters are available, and pre- and post-treatment support is provided throughout. Operating hours of Monday–Friday 9:00–18:00 and Saturday 10:00–16:00 give flexibility for patients building their itinerary around treatment days.

Laviva's combination of European Dental Council recognition, generous treatment warranties, a CAD/CAM-equipped clinic, and thorough coordination services makes it a strong contender for international patients seeking confidence alongside competitive pricing in Istanbul.
