Without any personal recommendations and only Google reviews and Trudental’s Facebook client interview videos to go on, in June and August of this year (2024) I took a leap of faith with them, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From the very beginning, Laurence gave clear and concise pricings (I was needing 23 crowns replacing), also explaining the steps and what to expect with the treatment. In Istanbul Sharon acted as my intermediary with the clinic every single step of the way, and also as my chaperone to every visit to the clinic. She was also fantastic in offering great recommendations on places to visit and eat, and even helped me with my metro card! :) The dedication and support from both of them exceeded my expectations, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. At the clinic, Miriem and the dentists were absolute stars! They were not only professional and skilled but also incredibly friendly and accommodating. Understanding me perfectly in English they really listened to what I needed and wanted and helped me achieve a smile even better than I had envisioned. Nothing was too much trouble. Their attention to detail and care at every stage of my treatment made me feel confident and comfortable. After a horrendous experience with a dentist in India the previous year, who did so much damage and unnecessary work on my teeth, my trust in dentists both in the UK and abroad was extremely low. Trudental and their partner clinic have both helped restore my faith in that there are good and trustworthy dental practices out there. I’m absolutely delighted with the results, can’t stop smiling and telling my friends about it and would highly recommend Trudental to anyone looking for top-notch dental care in Istanbul!

Excellent. Lawrence was helpful all the way from organizing hotel to airport pick up. Sharon walked me to the clinic each time and explained everything. My implants are great. Dentists are friendly and professional. They take time to get things perfect. They do a natural look. My friends recommended Trudental and it is a brilliant choice. I’m delighted .

Not finished my treatment yet but so far my experience has been great. I'm terrified of the dentist and having sedation was no problem for them. They accommodated as much as they could for me and explained everything in detail which really helped me relax a bit more. I felt like I was in good and experienced hands. Laurence & Sharon are great. All questions answered, recommendations for places to visit whilst we were there and checking in on me to see how I was getting on before, during, and after my appointment. I've got my temps right now and get my permanent teeth in October which I am really looking forward to.

My experience with TruDental was entirely positive. Lawrence's attention to detail was superb, in the planning phase, during the run-up to arriving in Istanbul as well as while I was actually there (and afterwards). I felt that all my needs were being considered with a high level of sensitivity and attentiveness throughout the process, and my treatment progress was monitored very efficiently. Any queries I had were answered promptly via WhatsApp and Laurence seemed to be always available. (I began wondering 'when does he sleep'!) The clinic was modern, very hi-tech and well equipped - I was instantly impressed by the all-in-one x-ray setup. This yielded a full-mouth image which was very high definition, putting to shame the old-school 'card in the cheek' dental x-rays commonly used in the UK....in fact, being able to see so much more clearly led to a slight tweak to the planned treatment - rather than fitting a crown to an existing tooth, which was the original plan, we ended up (having spotted some infection around its root in the x-ray) deciding on an implant, to which a crown will be fitted on a subsequent visit. I had three successive days of clinic visits and dealt with two different dentists. One of them was a root-canal specialist, who did this for me on Day 2. The work on Days 1 and 3 was done by a super-accomplished young dentist. Communication was great during all the aspects of treatment. I felt safe and well-informed regarding what was about to happen - this alleviated a great deal of possible worry, and was much appreciated. I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to going back. This is something I would never have thought possible in anticipation of dental treatment! Financially, even with accommodation, flights and ground transport factored in, the visit was very affordable compared to any of my UK options. This is still the case when including my future visit to get the crown fitted. I feel that I've given myself a fresh start after having neglected my dental health for over a decade. My 'no-pain-therefore-no-problem' approach was bound to run out of road at some point and when it did I'm very happy that I was recommended to contact TruDental. I unhesitatingly recommend the company, the wonderful Laurence and his superbly professional colleagues at the dental clinic. I thank all of them most sincerely for their help and feel very fortunate to have been able to benefit from their collective expertise.

I've recently returned from having treatment with Trudental in Istanbul. I was pretty anxious, I'd describe myself as 'risk averse',but it was a painless, even enjoyable experience! I was initially looking for treatment for my partner who needed a whole mouth restoration but could not find a dentist. A friend told him she’d been for treatment with Trudental and was really happy with the result. We studied the Trudental website and were reassured by their reviews. We arranged a call with Laurence and after talking about J’s needs I also asked about getting my denture replaced as I'd lost my two front teeth in a bike accident years ago. We sent photos of our mouths and a couple of days later we received provisional treatment plans. The quotes from Trudental were about 20% of the cost of the same treatments in the UK, but hotel accommodation, breakfasts, airport transfers, support from Trudental staff and even some entertainment was included in the price. A week later, after some more research, we booked our flights. From the moment we landed on Monday evening, we were really well looked after. Laurence was in constant communication with us. The limo was lovely, really comfortable and the drinks and snacks were much appreciated. Trudental had booked us into Blisstanbul Hotel, we had a good sized room, very clean, with comfortable beds and in a convenient location to explore fascinating Istanbul. On Tuesday morning, after breakfast, nurse Sharon took us on a short walk to the clinic where we were greeted by the friendly staff. 360 degree X-rays established the best treatment for our individual cases. The facilities were clean, comfortable and high tech. J's treatment plan was much as initially proposed, he did need a sinus lift and a few cc of bone grafts which sound scary but turned out to not be a big deal. On this visit he was to have extractions, implants and a temporary denture. My bone wasn't sufficient for implants, so the best approach for structure, function and aesthetics was for crowns and a bridge, to be completed on this visit Laurence sent us our slightly revised treatment plans and costs and Sharon made sure we understood the procedures and were happy to go ahead. Our dentist was very quick, gentle, thorough, kind and patient. After J’s 90 minutes of treatment we took him back to the hotel, via the pharmacy, where Sharon got the antibiotics, painkillers and medicated mouthwash he needed. While he slept my teeth were prepared for the crowns, which only took 40 minutes. The dentist adjusted my denture so I could still wear it while the bridge and crowns were being made. Thursday was first fittings, my new teeth were a little bit bright. The clinic said they'd darken them a shade overnight. J was given a check up. Laurence had booked us a complimentary dinner cruise on the Bosporus for that evening, we were picked up in a very plush minibus and driven through the city. The cruise was cheesy but fun. Friday lunchtime I had my crowns and bridge fitted, I was very happy with the result. J collected his temporary dentures. Our driver picked us up mid afternoon, giving us time to get through the airport and onto the plane home. We met an English couple who had quite a different experience of Turkey, we realised that having the whole trip organised by Trudental had saved us a lot of expense and difficulty. We've come home buzzing, I hadn't realised how much my teeth were affecting my confidence but now I open my mouth when I smile. My friends tell me they look fantastic and totally natural. We go back in March for the second and final part of J's treatment and we are already looking forward to it. Laurence has checked in with us several times since our return to make sure Jon is healing up OK, which he is, and that I’m happy with my new teeth. We feel very well looked after by Trudental and everyone they work with. I had been doubtful that a trip to the dentist could also be a holiday but it was a really enjoyable experience!
