Important โ about this score
Please read before drawing conclusions about this clinic.
This score is an automated, opinion-based assessment generated by SmileJet's proprietary AI algorithm from publicly available information โ including aggregated third-party reviews, clinic-published materials, and other open-source signals. It is not a statement of verified fact, a professional medical opinion, or an endorsement, and individual experiences may differ.
How the algorithm penalises scores
Our methodology applies score reductions where signals are detected that, in the algorithm's assessment, may indicate: unverifiable or potentially overstated claims about clinical experience or credentials; review patterns the model flags as inconsistent with organic user behaviour; or limited independent corroboration of marketing statements.
These adjustments reflect algorithmic signal-weighting only and do not constitute an allegation of any specific wrongdoing by this clinic or its staff.
Clinics may request a review of their score at any time. Read full methodology โ
SaphireDent is a premium international dental clinic located in Zeytinburnu, Istanbul, Turkey, built around a 3,000 square meter facility with 16 dental units and a team of more than 60 doctors and support staff. The clinic has treated over 5,000 patients from dozens of countries and specializes in cosmetic dentistry, full-arch implant rehabilitation, and Nano Zirconium crown technology for international visitors seeking premium care at a fraction of European prices.
SaphireDent is one of the larger purpose-built dental tourism facilities in Istanbul, combining scale with a genuinely international operating model. The clinic has served more than 5,000 patients and delivers savings of up to 50 to 70 percent versus comparable treatment in Europe, the UK, and the United States. Every treatment is backed by a 15-year warranty, with a dedicated 24/7 patient support line for aftercare once patients return home. All-inclusive packages bundle treatment, hotel, VIP airport transfer, and a multilingual coordinator into a single transparent price, removing the hidden-fee friction that affects many dental tourism bookings.
Dental implants are a core specialty, including single-tooth replacements and All-on-4 implants for full-arch fixed teeth, with 1-day implant protocols available for suitable cases. Cosmetic dentistry is the clinic's flagship, centered on porcelain veneers, Hollywood smile makeovers, and Digital Smile Design. The clinic also offers Nano Zirconium crowns using US-quality materials, teeth whitening, root canal treatment, and complete smile design planning. Most restorative and cosmetic cases are completed within a single 1 to 5 day visit thanks to in-house CAD/CAM capabilities.
The clinical team includes more than 60 doctors and staff across cosmetic, surgical, and restorative disciplines. Named practitioners include Dr. Mursel, an oral surgeon specializing in implant placement, Dr. Mohammed Toka, an implant specialist, and Dr. Ayse and Dr. Yasmin J., both cosmetic dentists focused on smile design and veneer cases. Dr. Ali leads general dentistry. The team structure allows complex dental tourism cases to be handled by multiple specialists under one roof rather than referred out.
The 3,000 square meter clinic includes 16 dental units, a VIP treatment suite, private consultation rooms, a comfortable waiting lounge, and a dedicated patient cafeteria. Technology includes 3D intraoral scanning, Digital Smile Design (DSD) software for previewing cosmetic outcomes, and in-house workflows for same-day crown and veneer production.
SaphireDent is built specifically for international patients. Patient coordinators are fluent in English, Turkish, Arabic, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Persian. The clinic provides free online consultations with X-ray and photo review, personalized written treatment plans with transparent pricing, VIP airport transfer, hotel booking assistance near the clinic, and a dedicated coordinator who speaks the patient's language throughout the visit. Aftercare includes detailed post-treatment instructions, 24/7 remote support, and the 15-year treatment warranty that follows the patient home.
SaphireDent is located at Prof. Dr. Turan Gunes Cd., The Istanbul Vefendi Sitesi G1 No. 57AG, 34025 Zeytinburnu, Istanbul, with central access from both Istanbul Airport and the historic city center. Opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with emergency appointments on Sunday. Public transportation, free parking, and airport pickup are all available for visiting patients.
