| To contact Our Dentist Abroad, UK patients reach us via WhatsApp (+44 7944 677737) or the contact form on our website. Both routes go to the same team. Send photographs of your smile and a brief description of what you’re looking for — our patient coordinator will respond and guide you through the next steps. |
At some point, research turns into action. You’ve read the guides, compared the options, and you’re ready to find out what treatment would actually look like for your specific case — and what it would cost. The next step is simple: get in touch.
There are two ways to contact Our Dentist Abroad from the UK: WhatsApp or the contact form on our website. Both reach the same patient coordination team. This guide tells you what to send, what to expect in response, and how to get the most useful information from your first contact.

How to Contact Us
WhatsApp — the fastest route
The quickest way to get in touch is via WhatsApp. You can send photographs directly in the conversation, which means the patient coordinator can see your case immediately and pass it to the relevant dentist without any back-and-forth. Most patients who contact us via WhatsApp have an initial response within the same working day.
📱 Contact Us on WhatsApp
Send your photos and a brief description — our team will get back to you.
Contact form — better for longer messages
If you prefer to write in more detail, or if you have a longer description of your dental history to share, the contact form on our website is the better option. It also guides you through what information to include, which is useful if you’re not sure where to start. Messages sent via the form reach the same team as WhatsApp.
What to Include in Your First Message
The more information you include in your first message, the more specific and useful the response will be. You don’t need to know the clinical terminology — describe what you’re unhappy with or what you want to achieve in plain language, and our team will do the clinical thinking.
| For the most useful initial response, include |
| ✓ A clear photograph of your smile — front-on, mouth slightly open, good natural light |
| ✓ A close-up of any specific area of concern: a gap, a discoloured tooth, a damaged restoration |
| ✓ A brief description in plain language: what you don’t like, what you’d like to change |
| ✓ Any relevant dental history: root canals, existing implants, bridgework, or what a UK dentist has told you |
| ✓ Any X-rays from your UK dentist, if you have them — a photograph of a printed X-ray is perfectly fine |
| ✓ Your approximate preferred timeframe, if you have one |
| You do not need to know whether you need veneers, crowns or implants before contacting us. Describing the problem — “I have a gap where a tooth was extracted two years ago” or “my front teeth are badly discoloured and I’ve always been self-conscious about them” — is enough for our team to point you in the right direction. |
What Happens After You Get in Touch
Once your message arrives, your patient coordinator reviews it and — depending on the nature of your enquiry — passes your photographs to the relevant dentist. You then receive a response that covers what treatment appears appropriate for your case, what the process involves, and what the costs look like.
This is a genuine human response from the team at the clinic — not an automated reply. The coordinator’s job is to answer your questions clearly and honestly, and to help you understand whether treatment at Our Dentist Abroad is the right fit for your situation. If it isn’t, they will tell you that too.
1. Your message arrives — patient coordinator reviews photographs and details.
2. Photographs are passed to the relevant dentist for clinical review where needed.
3. You receive a written response: what treatment is appropriate, what it involves, indicative costs.
4. You ask any follow-up questions — there is no limit and no time pressure.
5. If you decide to proceed, the coordinator helps you plan dates, travel and accommodation.
What to Expect from the Conversation
Our patient coordinators are experienced English speakers who have worked specifically with British patients for many years. They understand the practical questions that UK patients have — about the NHS, about insurance, about flying after treatment, about what to tell an NHS dentist on return — and they give direct answers rather than deflecting.
No question is too basic. Patients contact us at every stage of the research process — some have spent months looking into dental tourism and have highly specific clinical questions; others are at the very beginning and are not sure where to start. The coordinator’s role is the same in both cases: to give you the information you need to make an informed decision.
| There is no obligation to proceed at any point. Getting in touch is the start of a conversation, not a commitment. Many patients contact us, ask questions over several weeks, and then decide — in their own time — whether to book. That is exactly how it should work. |
How to Get the Most from the Conversation
| If you want to know… | Do this |
| Whether you need veneers, a crown or something else | Describe the tooth: its history, what a UK dentist has said, what it looks like |
| An accurate cost for your case | Include photographs and as much dental history as possible — vague descriptions produce vague estimates |
| Whether bone grafting will be needed for implants | Attach your most recent panoramic X-ray if you have one, or mention if a UK dentist has raised the issue |
| Whether your travel dates work | State them clearly — the coordinator can advise on availability and scheduling from the outset |
| What a typical week in Antalya looks like | Ask — the coordinator can walk you through the day-by-day process for your specific treatment |
| Whether to bring a companion | Ask — the coordinator can advise on accommodation for two and how schedules can be coordinated |
What Our Dentist Abroad Can Offer UK Patients
Before you get in touch, it is worth knowing what you are enquiring about. Our Dentist Abroad is a clinic in Antalya Lara that has been treating British patients since 1995. We hold AACI international accreditation and Turkish Ministry of Health authorisation for international health tourism. We have an in-house ceramics laboratory, standard 3D CBCT scanning for all implant cases, Digital Smile Design for veneer and cosmetic treatments, and dedicated English-speaking patient coordinators.
Our treatments include dental implants (single tooth, multiple and full-arch All-on-4 and All-on-6), porcelain veneers (E-max and zirconia), zirconia crowns, smile makeovers, teeth whitening and gum contouring. All treatment is carried out by qualified specialists and all restorations are fabricated in our own on-site ceramics laboratory.
Costs are significantly lower than UK private rates — typically 60–80% less for equivalent quality materials and clinical standards. All quotes are provided in sterling and itemised in full, with no hidden charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any cost to getting in touch?
No. Contacting us via WhatsApp or the contact form is entirely free. The patient coordinator’s time, the response to your enquiry, and all follow-up communication before you decide to book carries no charge whatsoever.
How quickly will I get a response?
We aim to respond to all messages within the same working day. WhatsApp messages are typically seen quickly during clinic hours. If you contact us outside working hours or at the weekend, you will hear back on the next working day.
I’m not sure what treatment I need — can I still get in touch?
Absolutely. A large proportion of the people who contact us are not sure what they need. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis. Describe what you’re unhappy with, send a photograph if you can, and our team will help you understand what options are relevant to your situation.
What if I’ve already had treatment abroad that’s gone wrong?
We regularly assess and treat patients who have had unsuccessful dental work elsewhere. Get in touch, describe what happened, and send photographs or X-rays if you have them. Our team will give you an honest view of what can be done. We will not make promises we cannot keep, but we have been managing complex remedial cases for over three decades.
Can I visit the clinic in person before booking treatment?
Yes — if you are travelling to Antalya for any reason, you are welcome to visit the clinic in person. For most patients, however, the process begins remotely via WhatsApp or the contact form, and the first clinical assessment takes place at the start of the treatment visit. Many patients book treatment having never visited the clinic in person beforehand — the coordinator’s role is to make that process feel well-supported from the very first message.
What languages does the team speak?
All patient communication with UK patients is conducted in English. Our patient coordinators are fluent English speakers with extensive experience of working specifically with British patients. The treating dentists also speak English. You will not encounter a language barrier at any stage of the process.
