Don't look any further for a dentist in Turkey. You've found the one!
We recently travelled to Dentgroup Lara and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough.
Like many people, we’d heard all the warnings about going to Turkey for dental work, but this experience completely changed our perspective. My husband had always been very self-conscious about his teeth due to a missing tooth and uneven shaping, and this has genuinely transformed not just his smile, but the way he sees himself.
He spent months researching clinics before choosing Dentgroup Lara, and it was absolutely the right decision.
We stayed in Antalya for 18 days and throughout that time he had multiple procedures including extractions, wisdom teeth removal, root canals, temporary teeth, and finally his crowns. Every step of the process was handled with care and professionalism.
His consultant, Asrem, was incredible. She was warm, friendly, and immediately made us both feel comfortable. She explained everything clearly and was always available to answer questions, even messaging back at all hours. By the end, it felt like we were leaving friends, not just a clinic. She also arranged complimentary airport transfers, which we really appreciated.
One thing that really stood out was the transparency. There were absolutely no hidden costs. The price quoted at the beginning is exactly what we paid, even with all the additional treatments. Things that could easily be upsold elsewhere — like night guards, anaesthesia, a bridge, and even multiple sets of temporary teeth were all included. That level of honesty is rare.
The clinic itself is spotless and very modern, with small touches like free WiFi and a drinks machine (coffee, hot chocolate etc.) which made waiting during appointments much more comfortable.
My husband’s dentist, Dr Nisa, was exceptional. A true professional and perfectionist. She took her time with everything and never made us feel rushed. It was clear she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible result, even helping guide decisions like shape and shade. Her English was excellent, so communication was never an issue, and everything was explained thoroughly.
What surprised us most was that the whole experience was actually enjoyable. We never dreaded going back - quite the opposite.
I even ended up having treatment myself. I had an issue with a tight frenum causing gum recession and decided to get it checked while we were there, especially since consultations and X-rays were free (which would be quite expensive back home in Australia). I was able to have it treated immediately, completely pain-free, and recovery was so smooth I only needed one painkiller. Even with stitches, I felt fine almost straight away. And each time we returned for my husband's appointments they would always get me in the chair to also check on my recovery.
Honestly, I would trust this team with any dental work. They are more thorough, transparent, and genuinely caring than any dentist we’ve experienced in Australia, and I never thought I’d say this, but they made going to the dentist a positive experience.
We’re already talking about coming back in the future, and I’d recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Dear Chelsea,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. Your words mean a great deal to Asrem, Dr Nisa, our clinical team, reception staff, and everyone at Dentgroup International Lara.
We completely understand that travelling abroad for dental treatment can feel like a major decision, especially with so many concerns and warnings surrounding treatment overseas. For this reason, it is especially meaningful to know that your experience with us gave you confidence, comfort, and reassurance from the very beginning.
It was a pleasure to support your husband throughout such a comprehensive treatment journey. With multiple procedures involved, careful planning, clear communication, sufficient healing time, and transparency at every stage were essential. We are delighted to hear that the entire process felt professional, well organised, and never rushed.
Asrem will be very touched by your kind words. Making sure both patients and their companions feel informed, supported, and comfortable is an important part of the experience we aim to provide. Knowing that you felt you were leaving friends rather than simply leaving a clinic is one of the greatest compliments we could receive.
Dr Nisa will also be incredibly happy to read your comments. Her attention to detail, patience, and commitment to achieving the most suitable result for each patient are qualities we truly value. We are pleased that her guidance throughout the shape and shade selection process helped your husband feel confident in every decision.
Thank you as well for highlighting the transparency of the treatment plan and costs. We believe every patient should understand exactly what is included in their treatment and should never feel surprised by unexpected charges. Your recognition of this means a great deal to us.
We are equally pleased that we were able to assist you with your own treatment during your stay and that your recovery was comfortable and smooth. Providing ongoing checks and making sure every patient feels properly cared for after treatment is just as important as the procedure itself.
It was a genuine pleasure to welcome you both to Antalya and to be part of such an important transformation. Thank you for placing your trust in Dentgroup International Lara and for recommending us so warmly. We would be delighted to welcome you both again in the future.
