Dental Treatment in Istanbul for Irish Patients
Year-round direct flights and a city break between appointments. Choose Istanbul if you want year-round direct flights from Dublin, a city you can explore between appointments, or you are combining treatment with a longer European trip.
Istanbul is DentalTrip's second treatment city, with daily direct Turkish Airlines flights from Dublin taking 4 hours 25 minutes. Irish patients receive the same Dr. Metehan Doğan-reviewed treatment plan, pricing and lifetime warranty as in Antalya, treated at a vetted partner clinic on the European side.
Istanbul is the busiest dental tourism city in the world, which is exactly why it needs an agency that knows which clinics deserve Irish patients and which do not. DentalTrip works with a small number of Istanbul clinics that meet the same standards as our Antalya base.
