Common questions about Maltepe Dental Clinic
Is Maltepe Dental Clinic accredited?
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management, ISO 13485:2016 Medical Devices Quality Management, ISO 10002:2018 Customer Satisfaction and Health Tourism Certificate (Turkish Ministry of Health) are self-reported by the clinic and not yet independently verified. Accreditation status can change — confirm it is current with the issuing body before booking.
Who performs procedures at Maltepe Dental Clinic?
The public record names Dr. Alper Gürhan (Co-founder) and Dr. Yusuf İlhan (Co-founder). Named clinicians in a record are not a guarantee of who treats you — ask which clinician will personally perform your procedure and get the answer in writing.
How much does treatment at Maltepe Dental Clinic cost?
The clinic has published an indicative price of implants from £380 (clinic site, Jul 2026; US/German-brand implant £380/€425; zirconium crown from £220; EMAX laminate veneer £260). Treat this as a starting point, not a quote — your written quote will depend on your case and the exchange rate, so confirm the full price and exactly what it includes directly with the clinic.
What aftercare does Maltepe Dental Clinic provide?
The clinic's published routine aftercare is: About page states the London facility provides 'structured pre-treatment consultations and aftercare support in London'. A 'Guarantee Policy' page is linked from the site; specific terms not stated on the pages reviewed. Routine aftercare is only part of the picture — get the emergency pathway, complication responsibility and UK follow-up arrangements in writing too.
Where is Maltepe Dental Clinic and what does it offer?
Maltepe Dental Clinic is in Istanbul, Turkey. The profile covers Dental treatment. This is an independent research profile compiled from public sources — it is not a recommendation, and clinics cannot pay to change how they appear.
How does Medical Destinations choose which clinics to show?
We curate a small number of profiles rather than listing everyone, and we structure every profile the same way: accreditations, named clinicians, years operating, what a quote includes, aftercare arrangements and languages spoken. Where a trust signal is self-reported by the clinic and not yet independently verified, we say so. A listing is information to support your research — it is not a recommendation, and we do not rank clinics by who pays.
Will the NHS look after me if something goes wrong?
The NHS will treat you in an emergency, as it would for anyone. But it is not designed to provide routine follow-up or revision surgery for planned private treatment carried out abroad, and waiting times apply. This gap — between emergency care and the aftercare a planned procedure actually needs — is exactly why specialist insurance for treatment abroad exists.
Is anything on this site medical advice?
No. Medical Destinations is a research tool. We help you understand options, compare visible trust signals and find specialist insurance — we are not clinicians, and nothing here replaces a consultation with your GP or a qualified specialist. Whether a procedure is right for you is a clinical question; please take it to a clinician.
