Arrival in İstanbul

In order to your request one of the İmplant Academy taxi drivers will meet you at the airport arrivals. The taxi driver will be holding a card bearing your name and the words “İmplant Akademi”. You will then be driven either to your hotel or directly to the Clinic, depending on your first appointment time.

Consultation

Upon arrival at the Clinic, once your details have been registered, your dental assistant will take your orthopantograph x-ray and show you to your dentist’s surgery for your consultation. Your dentist will make an oral examination and evaluate your x-ray, and discuss with you your wishes and requirements. You may also need a further consultation with our Oral Surgeon, Endodontist, or Periodontist. If necessary, we are able to take a Cone Beam CT image of your cranium which can facilitate diagnoses in the case of possible implantation and root canal treatment.

Treatment Plan

Based on your consultation(s), your dentist will formulate your treatment plan. You will be given all relevant information explaining the treatment(s) and then have the opportunity to discuss this plan with your dentist(s). Once you are happy with the treatment prescribed and have agreed upon the plan, you will be given your appointment times. On signing the treatment plan, the patient should pay 50% of the total amount for that first stage. The remaining 50% being payable on completing that stage.
