How to Get a Free Online Dental Consultation From the UK

Thinking about dental treatment in Turkey but still at home in the UK? You don’t need to book a flight to get started. Our free online dental consultation lets our specialists assess your case, recommend the right treatment, and send you an itemised quote — all from the UK, with no cost and no obligation.

Below is exactly how it works, what we’ll need from you, and what you’ll get back.

What Is an Online Dental Consultation?

An online dental consultation — also called a remote or virtual dental consultation — is an assessment of your dental needs carried out by a qualified Turkish dental professional without an in-person visit. Instead of visiting the clinic in person, you send us photos of your teeth (and any recent X-rays you have), and our dental team reviews them to give you a preliminary treatment plan and cost estimate.

It’s the simplest way to find out whether you’re a candidate for treatments like dental veneers, dental crowns, or dental implants — and roughly what it will cost — without travelling. For most patients, it’s the first step in their journey to Antalya.

Important — please read first. An online consultation gives you an honest preliminary plan, but it does not guarantee a 100% accurate treatment plan, because some issues only become visible on a clinical examination or scan. This matters most for dental implants: implant treatment always requires an X-ray, and often a 3D CT (CBCT) scan, to assess your bone and plan your treatment safely. If you send photos only, your plan is an estimate — once we examine you in person you may need additional treatment that wasn’t visible in your photos, and your plan and quote may be adjusted accordingly. Your patient coordinator will talk you through all the details, and your final treatment plan is always confirmed at your in-clinic consultation in Antalya before any treatment begins.

How to Get Your Free Online Consultation in 4 Steps

Step 1 — Send Us Your Photos (and X-rays, if you have them)

Message us on WhatsApp or fill in our contact form. Send clear photos of your teeth and smile, plus a brief note about what’s bothering you and the result you’re hoping for. If you’ve had a recent panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan, attach it — it helps us give you a far more accurate plan (and is essential for implant cases).

Step 2 — Our Specialists Review Your Case

Your photos go to the right specialist for your needs — not a general inbox. An implant case is reviewed by our oral surgeon; a smile makeover by our cosmetic team. We assess your oral health, suitability, and the most suitable treatment options.

Step 3 — You Receive Your Personalised Plan & Quote

We send back a personalised treatment plan with a transparent, itemised quote — usually within one working day. There are no hidden costs: your quote includes X-rays, 3D scans, anaesthetics, medications, abutments, and follow-up checks as standard. We’ll also confirm whether you qualify for our all-inclusive Turkey Teeth Package (free hotel and flight support).

Step 4 — Ask Questions or Book a Video Call

Have questions? Your dedicated English-speaking patient coordinator is on hand to talk through your plan, timelines, and travel — by message, phone, or video call. When you’re happy, we help you choose your treatment dates and arrange everything else.

What You’ll Need to Send Us

To get the most accurate plan possible, please send:

• Five clear photos of your teeth — we show you the exact angles below (front, both sides, and your upper and lower biting surfaces)
• A recent panoramic X-ray, if you have one (required for an accurate implant assessment)
• A 3D CBCT scan, if available (ideal for complex implant or full-mouth cases)
• A short description of your concerns and your goal for treatment

Don’t have any X-rays? That’s fine — send your photos and we’ll still give you a preliminary plan, then confirm the details once you’re in the clinic.

Need a Scan Before You Travel? We’ll Arrange It for You

For implants and full-mouth cases, a CBCT scan or panoramic X-ray makes your online plan far more accurate — and you don’t need to organise it yourself. We can arrange your scan at a UK imaging centre, book the appointment for you, and take care of the dental referral, so all you have to do is turn up.

In the UK, you can’t book an X-ray or CBCT scan on your own — it has to be requested through a dentist. As your dental provider, we handle that side for you. Your scan is then sent to us digitally, so our oral surgeon can review it as part of your free online consultation and give you a far more accurate plan and quote before you fly.

We work with established, CQC-registered imaging centres with locations in major cities across the UK — including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Nottingham and Glasgow — so there’s usually one within easy reach. Just tell us where you are and we’ll book the nearest.

How it works:

1. Tell us about your case — we’ll confirm whether you need a scan, and which type (CBCT or panoramic X-ray).
2. We arrange the referral and book your appointment at a centre near you.
3. You attend your scan, it’s sent straight to us, and our oral surgeon reviews it as part of your free online consultation.

The scan fee is paid directly to the imaging centre — we’ll confirm the cost with you when we book.

The 5 Photos We Need for Your Online Consultation

Clear photos make your plan far more accurate. Using your phone in good natural daylight, take these five shots. A clean teaspoon held inside your cheek to pull it gently outward makes the side photos much clearer:

1. Front view — Bite your back teeth together naturally and smile as wide as you can, so we can see how your upper and lower teeth meet.
2. Right side — Use a spoon to gently pull your right cheek outward, bite your teeth together, and take a close-up from the side.
3. Left side — Do exactly the same on the left side of your mouth.
4. Upper teeth — Tilt your head back, open as wide as you can, and photograph downward onto the biting surfaces of your top teeth.
5. Lower teeth — Lower your chin, open wide, and rest your tongue back so we can see the biting surfaces of your bottom teeth.

A few tips for sharper photos: use daylight from a window, keep the lens clean, hold steady to avoid blur, and take an extra close-up of anything that specifically worries you.

What You’ll Receive

Your free online consultation includes:

• A personalised treatment plan matched to your goals and oral health
• A fully itemised, all-inclusive quote — the price we quote is the price you pay
• An estimated timeline and number of visits required
• Confirmation of whether you qualify for our all-inclusive Turkey Teeth Package (free 6-night hotel stay and up to £200 flight support on qualifying plans)
• Direct access to a dedicated patient coordinator in your own language — we offer full support in English, German, Russian and Dutch

All of this is completely free and comes with no obligation to book.

If you’re having a full set of 20 veneers or crowns, this is covered by our dedicated Smile Makeover Package instead. Your coordinator will confirm which package applies to your treatment plan.

How to Book Dental Treatment in Turkey from the UK

Booking dental treatment in Turkey from the UK is simpler than most patients expect — and it always starts online, before you commit to any travel. Here’s the full journey, from your first message to flying home with your new smile:

1. Start with a free online consultation. Send us your photos (and any X-rays) from home in the UK. Our specialists reply with a treatment plan and itemised quote, usually within one working day.
2. Review your plan and ask questions. Your English-speaking patient coordinator talks you through everything — treatment, timeline, and travel — by message, phone, or video call.
3. Reserve your treatment dates. When you’re happy, a deposit secures your appointment. We then help arrange your hotel and airport transfers (free on qualifying Turkey Teeth Package plans).
4. Fly to Antalya. Direct flights run from most major UK airports. We meet you at the airport and handle your transfers throughout your stay.
5. Confirm your plan in clinic, then begin treatment. Your dentist confirms everything with an in-person examination, and any scans, before any work starts — so nothing happens that you haven’t agreed.
6. Fly home with UK aftercare. Once you’re back, our team supports you remotely, with a clear aftercare and warranty process for patients returning to the UK.

We’ve treated thousands of patients from the UK since 2009, so every step — from your online consultation to your aftercare — is handled in English, with UK travel and time zones in mind.

Online Consultation vs In-Clinic Examination

We believe in being straight with you. An online consultation is excellent for understanding your options and budget — but it has limits.

	Online Consultation	In-Clinic Examination
Cost	Free, no obligation	Free for our patients (included)
Best for	Assessing options & getting a quote	Confirming the final plan
Imaging	Based on your photos / existing X-rays	3D CBCT scan + panoramic X-ray on site
Accuracy	Preliminary plan	Definitive plan
Implants	Indicative only	Required before surgery

For cosmetic work like dental veneers and dental crowns, your online plan is usually very close to your final plan. For implants and full-mouth restorations, the on-site CBCT scan is what locks in the exact details.

Your Privacy & Data

We take the privacy of your medical information seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the online consultation really free? Yes. There’s no charge and no obligation to book treatment. It’s simply the easiest way to understand your options and costs.

Can I get a dental consultation online before travelling to Turkey? Yes. You can have a full online consultation before booking any travel. Send us photos of your teeth, along with any X-rays you have, and our specialists send back a preliminary treatment plan and itemised quote — usually within one working day, with no cost and no obligation. It’s the safest way to understand your options and budget before you commit to a trip.

How long does it take to get my plan? Most patients receive their personalised plan and quote within one working day of sending clear photos.

How do I book a dental implant consultation with a Turkish specialist online? Send us photos of the area, plus a recent panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan if you have one, and your case goes straight to our oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Özkan Özkaynak, D.D.S., Ph.D. He assesses your suitability for implants and sends back an indicative plan and quote. Because implant planning depends on your jawbone, the final plan is confirmed with a 3D CBCT scan — either from a UK imaging centre before you travel, or at our clinic in Antalya. You can read more on our dental implants page.

Can I get a cost estimate for full mouth reconstruction online? Yes. Send us photos and a short description of your concerns and we’ll prepare an itemised estimate for your full mouth reconstruction, covering dental implants, crowns, or veneers as needed. For complex cases the final figure is confirmed after a scan, but the online estimate gives you a clear, realistic budget to plan around. See our prices page for typical costs, or get an instant figure with our Turkey Teeth Cost Calculator.

Do I need an X-ray to start? No — you can start with photos alone. An X-ray is only essential for confirming implant treatment, and a 3D CT (CBCT) scan is sometimes needed too. If you’d like a more accurate plan before you travel, you can have a scan taken at a UK imaging centre and send us the files; otherwise we can take everything we need once you’re in the clinic.

How do I book treatment in Turkey from the UK? Start with a free online consultation. Once you’re happy with your plan and quote, we reserve your treatment dates with a deposit, then help you arrange your flights and hotel (free on qualifying Turkey Teeth Package plans). Your treatment begins with an in-clinic examination to confirm the plan before any work starts — so you’re never committed to treatment you haven’t agreed in person.

Are there any hidden or extra costs? No. Your quote is fully itemised and all-inclusive — the price we quote is the price you pay. It covers your X-rays, 3D scans, anaesthetic, and follow-up checks, with no surprise add-ons. The only costs to budget for separately are the ones outside our clinic: your flights, any nights beyond your included hotel stay, and travel or dental insurance.

Can I have a video call with a dentist? Yes. After reviewing your case, we can arrange a video consultation with your coordinator, and a dentist where appropriate, to talk through your plan.

Will my online quote change when I arrive? For cosmetic treatments, your quote is typically confirmed as quoted. For implants and complex cases, the final plan is confirmed after your in-clinic 3D CBCT scan — and we’ll always explain any change before any treatment begins.

What languages do you speak? Our dentists and patient coordinators speak fluent English, and our coordinators also offer full support in German, Russian and Dutch — so you’re looked after in your own language from your first message through to your aftercare. We specialise in caring for UK and international patients.
