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.
I came to Laviva clinic in Istanbul from the United States . After having major issues with my teeth over the last 20 years I finally decided to do something about it .

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 . Will see you again late spring of 2026

Thank you so much to the doctor! My boyfriend had his teeth done at this clinic, and it turned out beautifully. He's very sensitive to pain, but this time he felt no pain at all. They reassure me during the procedure if I'm afraid or stressed! Everyone is very friendly! 💗 They help with hotel reservations and provide transportation to and from the hotel. 🫶🏻

the patients, like Esmael and Mostafa, are some of the best customer service personnel I have ever met! (Hospitable, supportive, polite, & truly genuine). They are all, with no exception, a real asset to Dr Waheed. On a scale from 1-10, everyone from the doctor himself, to the nurses, the technicians, and customer service team, would actually break the scale and score a 15 ! They are that great. Well done guys, keep up the good work and help more people SMILE! 😁😀😁 God bless you all. الله يبارك فيكم جميعا 🙏❤️
My mother traveled to Turkey specifically to be treated at this clinic, and we are incredibly grateful she did. After struggling to find the right care elsewhere, the team here not only found solutions but treated her with a level of professionalism and kindness that gave us real peace of mind. My mother has struggled with a phobia of dentists because of past experiences with other clinics. It was…

nk carefully about each step of the treatment. There was no pressure—only clear explanations, patience, and support. Thank you to the whole Laviva team for your care and dedication. I highly recommend this clinic.
I searched for many clinics because I wanted to make a Hollywood smile, and I am very happy because I found LaViva clinic. I loved my new smile so much
I was planning to undergo treatment at this clinic, but after what happened with my husband, I completely decided against using their services. I thank God that I did not go there. My husband contacted the clinic for several days in a row — he called, wrote messages, and literally begged to be seen because he was experiencing severe tooth pain. In response, he was told that “this is normal,” and…

d no real help was provided. When someone reaches out in pain, they expect at least attention and a professional approach, not to have their problem ignored. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely negative.
Had an incredible experience here at Laviva, the entire process was very easy. Would recommend to anyone thinking of coming here, thanks once again from Faraz

On the phone, you'll find Mr. Ismail, always available, who answers all your questions and perfectly manages your arrival, from the airport to the hotel. A truly exceptional person.

e process. I also want to thank the clinic manager, who was always attentive and made sure everything went perfectly, and the coordinator, Mustafa, who was involved in every detail, facilitating each step with enormous patience and professionalism. My thanks also go to Toni, my direct contact, for his impeccable attention and constant support, something that is greatly appreciated when you are far from home. Thanks to Adam, the photographer, for his kindness and excellent work, and to Dr. Sana, who was so warm, caring, and professional. And, of course, to all the other members of the team, whose names I can't recall at the moment but whom I also want to include in this expression of gratitude, because each and every one of them contributed to making my experience simply spectacular. Today I can proudly say that I can smile again without shame, and that's priceless. Having a beautiful smile is important, but regaining self-confidence, that much-needed security in this complicated and difficult life, is something you can only achieve when you have a team behind you that works with heart and with such a high level of excellence as LAVIVA. The treatment results have exceeded all my expectations, but what I truly take with me is the personal attention, dedication, and care I received. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much to the entire LAVIVA family for giving me back my smile and my confidence. I recommend them without hesitation and would choose their clinic again and again.
