Excellent experience with professional dentists. Thank you to Bilal and the entire team for the warm welcome, and to dentist Tugba Alkan for her professionalism and dedication. We left 100% satisfied!
Impeccable service... top-notch professionals with great kindness... a huge thank you to Badis and Bilal for their kindness and for meeting all our expectations... 🙂 Unfortunately, 18 months later, a gap has appeared between my gums and teeth... after several unanswered messages and persistent requests for photos... the only response is to use a water flosser... I reply that I already do and…

ask to speak with the doctor and even come in for a consultation... and since then, it's been impossible to get a response. I'm expressing my great disappointment here because I had complete confidence in this team...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My name is Ömer from Vienna, and I had my dental implant treatment done at the Tower Dental Clinic. Dr. Ertan Etemoğlu placed the implants with great care and professionalism. After the 120-day healing period, Dr. Hakan Güney fitted the crowns very carefully and precisely. A big thank you to Ms. Tuğba for her friendly and helpful support. A very professional and friendly team. I can…

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Tower Dental Clinic.
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE! Tower dental is a huge scam /Fraud dental clinic . Every single word that comes from their mouths are lies . VEDAT the manager is a master con-artist with absolutely ZERO morals or integrity. The entire care here I experienced was ALL a sales pitch , they train their employees to make the most money nothing else matters to these soulless people. All my 3 implants got severely…

Tower Dental Clinic has been in practice for 25 years in Istanbul with a great recognition by Turkish Dental Association and its peers. The clinic has recently been choosen by Reuters News Agency to be part of a documentary on health tourism. Implants may fail due to chronic disease, bad oral hygiene, excessive consumption of alcohol , smoking or drug abuse. However even in those cases we offer free replacement of implants. We've contacted Google for this unjust accusation and insult on our staff.
We were greeted by friendly staff and had our teeth cleaned and whitened. My wife and I had our doctor excellent, and we left satisfied.
I had implant work done about four years ago, and recently the crown needed adjustment. Dr. Hakan not only removed and replaced the crown with a better-positioned one, but also prioritized my appointments to fit my schedule. Throughout the process, he was very thorough, professional, and attentive to detail. What really stood out was his integrity: after completing all the work, he did not…

t charge me anything, honoring the previous treatment even after several years. It is rare to find such professionalism and commitment to patient care. I truly appreciate the care, honesty, and quality of work, and I highly recommend him.
The clinic provided top-notch services, and the staff was very responsive. They were attentive to my requests, fast, and high-quality. We really enjoyed working with them; we'll be back again. I highly recommend them.
Dr. Hakkan is skilled at what he does and can be trusted. I would rather be quite on other few things. Overall a practical experience with few hiccups.
Tower Clinic is my best experience visiting a dentist! I visited this clinic and was very pleased with everything: the professionalism of the doctors, the well-coordinated work of the team and the warm attitude towards patients... This clinic works very efficiently. If you are looking for the best implant dentist or aesthetic dentist, I highly recommend them! 🥰 I want to express special thanks…

Thanks to tower dental clinic for this wonderful smile I would really like to thank doctor Hakan with his assistant nazlı and Bilal who was with me from the beginning and he explained everything to me and of course I would like to thank the receptionist Ilayda for her welcome and thank you for the young girl Zeynep who took photos and videos of me
I had a fantastic experience at Tower Dental clinic for dental work! The staff was welcoming, and the clinic is modern and clean. The dentists are highly skilled and took the time to explain each procedure, making me feel at ease. My teeth look amazing, and the aftercare was exceptional. I highly recommend Tower dental clinic for anyone considering dental work in Turkey
My mum and myself had recently root canal and crown treatments at the clinic and affordability, hight quality and patient care impressed us. Very caring team and great location. Definitely we will back next year.
I feel it’s my responsibility to warn others before they make the same mistake I did by trusting Towel Dental Clinic in Istanbul. Everything they told me before I arrived was false, misleading, and designed only to get me there. Once you are there, everything changes and not in a good way. Before traveling from Germany, I clearly explained to them that I have a Class III bite (lower jaw in front…

t of upper jaw). Not only that, I even sent them pictures of my bite in advance so they could evaluate it properly. They told me confidently that it was no problem and that I would need 24 zirconium crowns, with everything included for 2700 euros – hotel, airport transfers, and a translator. I trusted them. But as soon as I arrived, everything started going wrong. 1. Hotel scam The hotel they gave me was not the one shown to me on WhatsApp. The real hotel was in terrible condition – I could smell sewage whenever someone upstairs used water. I complained to the front desk and was told to “just turn on the AC,” even though I can’t sleep with air conditioning. The hotel was cheap, uncomfortable, and nothing like what they promised. 2. Unprofessional and dishonest clinic The next day, their driver was supposed to pick me up at 12:00 – he came at 12:40. At the clinic, I was seen by a very young and clearly inexperienced dentist. She had to call in a supervisor because my case was “too complicated for her,” even though they had already reviewed my photos before the trip. Then the story changed: now I needed 28 crowns, not 24, and 6 root canal treatments, each costing 100 euros. The price suddenly jumped from 2700 euros to 3900 euros. I refused, and they came down to 3600 but it was too late. This was clearly a planned trap. They bring you in with a cheap offer, then raise the price once you’re there and feel pressured. 3. Unsafe and irresponsible care They sent me for an X-ray and didn’t give me any protective shield. This is a serious health risk – radiation exposure without shielding is completely unacceptable in any real medical environment. 4. Overcharging and lies After I refused the treatment, I agreed to pay for just one hotel night and the airport transfer. But even then, they charged me 75 euros for the hotel even though I checked online and the same hotel costs 60 euros on Booking.com. They added an extra 15 euros for no reason at all. 5. Fake names and call center trickery Before the trip, I was speaking with someone named “Andrew” who made all the promises. his real name is Khalid, and he’s not even in the clinic. They operate through a call center, pretending to be professional dental advisors. Nothing is real. 6. More lies pretending to be part of official Turkish healthcare Before I arrived, they told me on WhatsApp that they belong to the official Turkish healthcare system. But once I was in Istanbul, I found out this was another lie. Before I know that everything is scam,first day, I told Andrew I might stay a few extra days in Taksim Center and asked if I could be picked up from there for my return airport transfer. He told me, “We belong to tourist healthcare and we’re not allowed to operate in that area.” That’s how I discovered they don’t belong to the official healthcare system at all – they only operate under a separate tourist license. This is not a real clinic experience it’s a tourist trap. They lie to get you to Istanbul, then change the price, change the treatment plan, offer unsafe care, and overcharge you. The people you speak with on WhatsApp are not doctors, the hotel is a scam, and their only goal is to take as much money from you as possible. And if the clinic tries to claim that this review is fake I am fully prepared to share screenshots and written price confirmations from “Andrew” before the trip. I have full proof of everything I’ve written here. Please do not take the risk. Don’t trust their messages, their photos, or their promises. Avoid Towel Dental Clinic at all costs. 100 percent NOT recommended

We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and you didn’t proceed with dental treatment with us. At Tower Dental Clinic, we take all patient feedback seriously, and we are committed to maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards in both communication and patient care. We would like to formally respond to the statements made in your review dated July 16, 2025, concerning your visit on June 28, 2025 please allow us to clarify the following points: 1. Consultation and Medical Evaluation Process Before any treatment begins, our medical team conducts an in-person clinical consultation, which includes a 3D X-ray and physical examination. While pre-evaluation through photos can provide basic information, a final treatment plan and pricing can only be confirmed after a proper clinical diagnosis. This standard is followed worldwide and protects both the patient and the clinic. 2. Treatment Plan and Pricing Transparency All treatment plans are reviewed with the patient before any work begins, including any additional procedures such as root canals or crown adjustments that may be medically necessary. We strictly do not force any patient to accept or pay for a treatment they do not wish to proceed with. In your case, you chose not to continue with the treatment, and we respected that decision. 3. Hotel & Transfer Services We are a dental clinic and focus on best outcome of a dental treatment. We simply refer patients to nearby hotels and handle their airport, hotel, clinic transfers for their own comfort. As our main business is dental practice we do not make profit on hotel accommodations as you claim. In your case you’ve stayed at a nice hotel with a discounted price. In any hotel there can be minor issues which can be easily handled. Regarding the hotel cost ,we charged exactly what we are invoiced by our partner hotel for medical tourism packages, including late check-out and VIP service fee – which may differ from standard public booking platforms. 4. Radiation Safety Standards Our clinic complies with international dental radiography safety protocols, including shielding procedures. If your experience deviated from this, we welcome more information so we can investigate the matter thoroughly. In average, amount of radiation received at dental panoramic Xray is 0.025 mSv which is simply less than amount of radiation received at a 4 hour flight. 5. Our Team and Identity All members of our patient coordination team use professional profiles, but for privacy and simplicity in international communication, many use preferred English names (e.g., “Andrew”) – which is a common practice in medical tourism globally. Meantime it is not ethical to disclose names on public especially of staff who are excellent in explaining the procedures to the patients throughout the treatment. We stand against profane language or rude behavior to our staff. Each member is part of our official clinical coordination team and works under the clinic’s license and management oversight. 6. Healthcare Licensing Tower Dental Clinic is a licensed private healthcare provider in Turkey, authorized to serve both Turkish citizens and international patients. We are registered under Turkey’s Ministry of Health and follow strict legal compliance, including tourist healthcare rights. As we’ve been as one of the top clinics in Turkey we’ve been featured at Reuters UK on a documentary of health tourism . It was a proud moment to be recognized by such an international news agency. We are truly sorry that your personal experience did not match the high standards we set for all our patients. If you are willing, we would be happy to review your case again, speak directly with you, and address your concerns in a fair and respectful manner. For the last 25 years we exist to give our patients access to world-class dental treatment in our state-of-the-art clinic in Istanbul , with no compromise on safety, outcomes, or care.
I traveled from Germany with high expectations to undergo a full “Hollywood Smile” treatment at this clinic, trusting the professional image they promote. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be extremely disappointing. Just two days after returning to Germany, four crowns fell off without any trauma or unusual activity. A procedure that was supposed to last years failed almost immediately,…

, which raises serious concerns about the quality of materials and workmanship. Even worse, the clinic refuses to take responsibility. They have offered no solution, no refund, and barely respond to my messages, showing a complete lack of professional ethics and accountability — especially towards international patients. This was a significant investment of time, money, and trust. Now, not only do I face cosmetic damage, but also discomfort and the feeling of having been misled and taken advantage of. I’m sharing this review to warn others considering similar treatments. I do not recommend this clinic under any circumstances.

We take all feedback seriously and are committed to providing the highest standard of care to our patients. However, we believe this review may have been posted by a former employee rather than a patient. While we respect everyone's right to express their opinion, we want to clarify that this comment does not reflect the experience we strive to provide in our clinic. We encourage genuine patients to share their experiences, and we invite anyone with concerns to contact us directly so we can address them properly. Thank you.
I was very nervous when choosing a clinic, as reviews online always differ. And I was right to choose Tower Dental. I had a fairly complex procedure – I had 24 crowns placed on my teeth (cosmetic dentistry), and my teeth were crooked even after restoration. But Dr. Hakan did his best to create a beautiful result. Yes, I really felt and saw that everyone at the clinic was interested in a…

beautiful result and worked hard to achieve it. I am very grateful for that. All the work was carried out with the utmost care and attention. The clinic also has a very pleasant and friendly atmosphere, and any worries and anxieties disappear after the first appointment! In short, my worries were for nothing!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We understand how important it is to feel confident when choosing a clinic, especially when it comes to such complex and important treatment. We are honored that you have placed your trust in us. Dr. Hakan and the entire Tower Dental team are truly grateful for your kind words and wish you all the best with your new smile!
Came from the uk to here twice. Had 10 root canals and 2 extractions along with 27 crowns. That actually turned out to be 8 bridges! After flying back over thinking I was going to be able to get 1 but maybe 2 of these bridges replaced along with my last 4 teeth crowning I was point blank refused! I am now left with poor fitting crowns with gaps between the crowns and gums causing bacteria to build…

ld up. I also feel like i have loose crowns as they keep clicking and generally feel loose. I will not be returning to this clinic in the future and will most likely go to Seville smiles or somewhere in the uk to try get this put right. I would advise if you are from elsewhere in the world not to go this clinic. Not a very happy man considering how much this has cost me and to not be happy with the outcome!! Just to reply to your comment. The second visit was meant to be to address the issues/ concerns I had regarding the poor quality and fitment of the crowns. I have chosen not to return to TOWER DENTAL CLINIC a THIRD TIME! This is because you have not addressed any concerns I had on my second visit and when you fitted the remaining 4 crowns you decided to shave existing crowns so they could just about fit then also decided to start shaving other crowns for no apparent reason taking the top layer of the crowns off. Following this I now have loose crowns that poorly fit and are noticeably loose! I honestly seriously would NEVER recommend this clinic to anyone!! Anyone from the uk please go elsewhere if you are looking for treatment you will be left with a sour taste in your mouth!!!

I was planning a holiday in Istanbul and decided to get some dental work done as I heard good things about their dental practices. I researched 5 dental practices and decided to go with Tower Dental. The initial communication with Themilis from Dental Departures to the ongoing communication with Tower Dentals Coordination Department was seamless and excellent. They answered all my questions…

s in a very timely manner; never leaving me hanging like some of the other dental practices I contacted. My doctor, Ipek Tezel and her assistant, Nafiye Imrak, did excellent work. I was nervous and they were very patient and explained everything in detail. Wonderful team! And I can’t forget to mention my translator, Defne, who was so caring and compassionate. She translated all information and made sure I understood what was happening. Tower Dental gave me a great smile and stellar dental experience! 5 Stars!

I consider myself the most annoying client. I was choosing from five clinics, and this is the only one that did exactly what I requested (materials, adhesives, exactly what I wanted), because I do my research before I do anything. I'm very happy with the doctors, especially Dr. Hakan (a real Doc). They spent as much time as I needed. Even though I was constantly talking and sometimes getting in…

Excellent, excellent, excellent! I would like to thank Dr. Ertan very, very much. Today he extracted 3 root canals and then immediately placed 6 implant screws. I didn't experience the slightest pain or problem. Dr. Ertan is so professional in his work that I'm angry at myself for walking around with missing teeth until now. In short, it's a fantastic clinic with all its staff. Thank you very…

My teeth were done by Dr Hakan G. and I got a really great result. I love smiling more now. My self-confidence has increased every time I look in the mirror. I definitely recommend him, his other colleagues were also very helpful. I would also like to thank Mr Vedat for such a wonderful treatment and introduced me to Mr Hakan.
