Another exciting adventure for me
Discussion
I'm off to Turkey tomorrow for dental work.
I expect there's a thread in here but thought I'd start my own with updates if there's any interest.
I had veneers about five years ago but they've needed resetting etc so I decided to go full on.
The clinic in Istanbul are primed to fit 24 zirconium crowns after some preparatory work but let's see.
Flight from Gatwick tomorrow and I'll be under the knife from Monday. Scheduled return is Sunday 1st March.
Nervous but excited.
I put this in the lounge as I'll be doing some sightseeing, tours etc and might get a wider audience for advice.

Be interested to hear your thoughts when done.
I was in Istanbul in November :
- Visit the Blue Mosque during the day and in the evening for the colour.
- Take a 1 boat trip on the Bosphorus, no need to book, just turn up, plenty of boats going all throughout the day, they wait until full before leaving..
- Grand Bazaar - It's enormous ! Has to be seen to believe how large it actually is.
Cheers

I've transited through but never visited so I'll do the above.
I have a few things I'd like to buy there and I'm sure it'll be great for that.
Some treatment days are only an hour or so meaning time for tours and I love walking.
Nice, good luck.
If you don't go to some cheap back street outfit then the care will most likely be better than the UK.
Some of the s
te that dentists get away with here is mad... But it's all forgiven because they're in the UK and charge thousands for a few fillings.
My mum and Step Dad live in Turkey for half the year, they won't get any dental work done here, all over there. Much cheaper and just as good quality, if not better.

That's good to hear.
To date the level of communication has been outstanding.
Messaged me today to confirm ETA of arrival and they gave precise details of where there driver will meet me.
It gives a lot of confidence.
I didn't realise how big Istanbul is. A population of 14 million it seems.
