1. Is the clinic JCI-accredited?
JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation is the international gold standard for healthcare quality. A JCI-accredited clinic has proven it meets strict standards for patient safety, hygiene, and medical protocols. Turkey has over 50 JCI-accredited hospitals and clinics — more than any other country outside the US.
2. What are the doctor's qualifications?
Ask about the specialist's training and which university they graduated from. Turkish dentists and surgeons typically study for 5–6 years and complete additional specialisations. Ask for the annual treatment volume — a dentist who places 500+ veneers per year has significantly more experience than a general practitioner.
3. What guarantee does the clinic offer?
Reputable clinics offer at least 2–5 years guarantee on veneers, crowns, and implants. Ask about the warranty terms and how the clinic handles complications after you return home. Good clinics offer online aftercare via WhatsApp and are available for follow-up questions.
4. Are before-and-after photos genuine?
Ask for before-and-after photos of real patients, not stock images. Check whether photos are consistent in lighting and perspective — a sign of authenticity. Also check reviews on independent platforms like Trustpilot or Google Maps.
5–10. Additional checks
5. Confirm what's included in the package (hotel, transfers, medications). 6. Check pre-treatment communication quality — a proper clinic sends a treatment plan before your arrival. 7. Look for digital technology use (3D scanning, CAD/CAM, Digital Smile Design). 8. Verify real Google reviews. 9. Confirm language support. 10. Check hygiene certificates.
