It was extremely hard finding any videos on Attelia Dental without influencers, celebrities or filtered content. You’re the first “real person” I’ve found giving an honest review, I can’t thank you enough!!
This is so helpful Nigel - just the type of review we all need! Looking forward to your update after your final work has been done - best of luck for October 🍀
Thank you for the kind words. Yes, my teeth are great! I finished in May 2023 and they've been fab. Even my dentist here in the UK is impressed! Best of luck next week!
Hi Nigel, I was there for full extraction on 17th May till the 24th. I must say I have to echo your experience was near identical to mine. My operation was 4 hours and was able to speak fully within 2 hours. The staff was great and did not have the waiting about you had experience nor experienced delays returning to Hotel SU during the week. I enjoyed my mini bus rides with other patients (I was the sole American; everyone was English or Scots) and generally swapped stories and everyone was very pleasant. I'll be back on 21st November for my implants to be screwed in. The total bill (May and November) is 13,000 US a far cry from what my Manhattan dentist quoted me (80,000 US!) so no more US Dentists for me. You look good man! OH Btw, I am 51 and an ex pipe smoker hence the full extractions.
Thanks for sharing Yahya! It’s wonderful how everyone bonds on the bus and in the hotel isn’t it? Looks like I was just really unlucky with the waiting, frustrating at the time but certainly hasn’t taken away from the experience. I’ll be back October for my implants, but 10 weeks on I’ve been very happy with this temporary set - thanks for the compliment. Stay safe, and good luck with the rest of your treatment.
@@nigel158b Hi Nigel. Thank you for your reply and again thank you for your video. For my part here in NY I’ve unwittingly attracted a small fan base of people who have long suffered from dental issues and are now strongly considering Turkey. Best of luck to you and do post a follow up when you’re back in October. It’ll be interesting to see alright.
Brilliant video, exactly what you need to here before getting the treatment. It's a major thing getting this done and a lot of money so this is so helpful and puts your mind at rest you've made the right decision. I'm going to Attelia in September 2023 and can't thankyou enough for this video
Hey I need the same 4 implants because all of my bottom back teeth had to be removed 🙃 😪. And I want crowns on all of my other teeth so they will all match. Keep me posted as I will follow you. What was your quote? And HOW LONG do you have to be there? I know it's different for each person just trying to get an idea 💡
@@mauritaedwards9707 hey , I go in 2 weeks now I was quoted £6120 but you get 10% off if you pay cash . But I get 15% off as I am stopping in my own hotel that I’ve paid for with my family . So the price now is £4480. I’m having 4 implants they are £450 each implant and the rest I am having crowns £180 per crown . If you message them they are really good and will give you a price ect on what you want . Hope this helps
Thanks. Going next month. I will get all white zirconia crowns.I gave them an x-ray and saw them in Munich (where they are once a month). I will maybe have two root canal’s done but they said maybe not. Luckily no extractions and so on but the most important part for me was that you had no pain. Thank you for the video. It is a big help.
Hi Maria. Good luck next month! Deffo no pain when I had my work done including root canals. Only thing I suffered from was an achy mouth from it being open so long! It was just over a year ago I finished my treatment - they are still looking great and I've had no problems at all.
Thank you for taking time and reviewing Attelia Nigel. I had a quote from about 10 defferent places and Attelia was the one I liked most, pictures reviews as well as the price. I actually have a same teeth stuck in the gum, only came up on x-ray picture. Its not visible otherwise and its exaclty same plece as yours :) wish I could poat a pic here. Anyways I can not wait for my treatment. We booked hotel ourselves and got discount for not using theirs which actually coming up cheaper. Our 5 star all inclusive costs 900 for fsmily of 4 for 12 night. Got 600 quid discount so nobrainer. May I ask how long does healing take for that ,ghost' teeth removal? Thanks again for your time.
Hiya - apologies fore not replying sooner. Thanks for your comments - nice work on the discounts! Regarding the ghost tooth, I don't really remember to be honest - I mean that positively in the fact that there was very little healing. Because I had the temporary crowns fitted over the place where the tooth was removed, it was completely covered so could just heal on its own. I had some stitches which probably fell out after around 10-14 days. But for clarity - no pain or discomfort!
THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓 I desperately needed your review to help me decide between this place and DCT. I need 4 implants as my bottom back 4 molars are gone. I need a 3D imaging assisted implant placement to be sure my implants are places perfectly and at the correct depth.
Had mine done in October last year and I’m really happy with them. I didn’t find the waiting to bad at all, like you said I could be luck. Only thing I can say is I met a couple of people in my hotel who were having theirs paid for by the clinic. They were treated exactly the same as me. I think the thing is, if your getting all the work done for free they’re not then going to go on socials and start complaining of the wait times.
Hi. 3 visits, first one was for extractions, shaping teeth for crowns and root canals, 2nd visit will be fitting of 13 implants, finally 3rd visit will be fitting of 23 zirconium crowns. Between the first and third visits, I’ll have temporary teeth like you see in the video, they’re basically like dentures fitted over my remaining teeth. All in all, over the 3 visits it’s costing about £11.5k.
Hi Nigel, i have been looking at clinics in turkey , watched lots videos and read reviews, however so glad i found your review , most honest review and thats what people want not pink fluffy hype so thanks for that mate , so am i right in thinking your total cost 10k to 12k ?
Hi Gary. Yeah, £12k to the clinic then flights on top. I'm not getting free hotel for the 3rd visit though so a few hundred more on top too. 1st trip was £1.7k for the extractions, root canals and temporary crowns - i spent no more than around £100 for the week on drinks and eating out a couple of times. Visit 2 October-ish all being well will be the fitting of 13 implants and a few more little bits like sinus lift etc. Thats £5.9k with the 10% discount for cash. Final visit just under £4k after discount to have 23 zirconium crowns fitted. I'm a snob so travelled Turkish business class which was £750 return from LGW, but you can get easyjet etc for around £150 return - obviously a little more during peak holidays etc.
Thank you very much for your video. I will have my first treatment at Attelia in March. It will be an All-on-4 treatment. I have to say, I'm already nervous even though I haven't been there yet. Thank you so much for your video! May I ask what specific treatment you had done?
Hi @balu187 - thanks for your comments! Its only natural you are nervous, its a big thing you are doing. They have done it thousands of times, but for you its the first time - understandable completely. I can assure you though, the moment you walk into the clinic you will feel confident you have chosen the right place to get the work done. My work I had done is not that dissimilar to All-on-4. I had all but 2 of my teeth removed and a total of 13 implants fitted. Sinus lift, and root canals on the remaining teeth. It took a total of 3 visits for me over 12 months. For the first 6 months I had temporary crowns on both jaws - they were great! I could eat anything i wanted and they looked great. 2nd 6 months not so good - I had to have a denture for the top jaw as they needed to remove more teeth than planned so they could fit the implants correctly. They looked fine and I soon got used to it - but eating wasn't as great. Soft foods only - soup/pasta etc. But now, 7 months on, I couldn't be happier. Had absolutely no problems at all so far.
ive just had 5 implants in my upper jaw ,,no teeth left,was expecting temps to feel and look like the real thing,but they said the implants need to fuse with the bone first and temps could damage the implants ,paid 250 for dentures ,wasnt happy, hoping to go back october for the crowns,just hope im happy with it all,4200 all in including 5 star hotel and taxis,,,medaway turkey
That's my worry too John. I'll be having the implants fitted on my next visit in a couple of months, these temporary ones I've got have been great - I can live with these and pretty much eat anything. Fingers crossed I'll have temps again while they set.
Hi, thanks, glad it was helpful. This first visit cost me around £1,800. That covered extractions, root canal treatments and the temporary teeth I have now. The temporaries are basically two dentures made of a metal base covered in ceramic. I’ve got these for 6 months. Visit 2 will be £6 to £7k, that will be 13 x implants and some bone graft and sinus lift work. Visit 3, 6 months after the implants will be the final visit when I’ll have 24 zirconium crowns/bridges fitted, that will be £4 - £5k. Hopefully then I’m done! So, I’m paying the higher end of prices for sure, but that’s due to being a smoker for 35 years and having really inferior jaw bones. If I just had crowns fitted to my remaining teeth, it’s highly likely it would be a waste of money as my teeth were starting to fall out due to my crap jaws. This treatment is giving me a much better long term solution given the implants have a lifetime guarantee.
@@nigel158b they must have internet I’m westbrom thick as f**k can I take tablet and watch vids books no good to me lose interest after 5 mins m8 thanks 4 the most honest review not I no what to expect 👍🏻
@@robertgreen3437 It's gonna end up just under £12k for me over 3 separate visits. Obviously personal costs (flights) on top. I think mine is the extreme though, i'll be having 13 implants and 24 crowns fitted once its all done. No one from my hotel having treatment that week paid as much as that as far as i am aware - so clearly my mouth was the poorest! That cost is certainly much higher than I had hoped for, but I 100% trust them that this is the right work for me to have decent teeth for the next 20 years at least.
Hi Richard. To be honest, I'm not that sure on this one. Before you leave you are given an information pack, in that it tells you what to do in case of any issues. The first thing is to contact them via whatsapp and discuss the issue, I remember reading some bits that on the work that is guaranteed, such as implants, they may authorise you to use a dentist at home and they cover reasonable costs. You get free check ups - but thats only if you just so happen to be in Antalya, they won't transport you over for that. I didn't hear of anyone having issues while I was there, they ensure they do the work early enough in the week so you can go back in for a final check the day before you fly home. They are very diligent - I think I mention in the video that my dentist wouldn't let me go back to the hotel until they were happy - that's reassuring I think. They will stay there until very late into the night until it's all good - someone in my hotel was there till almost midnight I think until the clinic was 100% happy.
I have a question for you, or anyone else. How do you get an x-ray in the UK that you can send to them? I asked a dentist near me, and they said no, as I'm not a patient. My own dentist doesn't have a 3d x-ray machine. I get the feeling if I ask my dentist to get a mate of his to do it, then I'm going to get asked why? Im pretty sure he's not a fan of dentistry abroad.
Good question. I'd probably just phone around all the private dentists in my area, it's easy money for them I would have thought. Or, at the very extreme - a clinic around Harley St London would certainly do it for the right price! Probably avoid NHS ones if you even have any near you. But, I don't know. It's not vital to getting the work done at Attelia, but at least you won't have any surprises when you get there I Guess.
Hi I'm going to Attelia in 2 weeks for my treatment. I'm a bit wary of taking all £ 7000 cash with me, any suggestions or tips please. Thanks, and brilliant video
Hiya. Don’t stress about the cash, they will relieve you of that on your first visit to the clinic! I would certainly keep it on me during the travel over, I’d be reluctant to pack it in my hold luggage for sure. There’s no legal issue, it’s only when you hit the equivalent of €10k that questions may be asked. I always felt very safe in Antalya airport too, and your transfer driver will be right by the door waiting for you. If your still concerned, a money belt/bumbag would be reassuring I imagine. Best of luck with your treatment, I finished mine just under 5 months ago- couldn’t be happier I did it!
Thanks Nigel for replying. Great advice I feel a lot more comfortable now taking over that amount of cash. Yeh I was thinking of a bum bag or similar. Thanks again Mick
Hi thank you for this I am looking at Attellia for implants I feel more confident now,can I ask did you go alone because I’m travelling with my husband and wondered if he is allowed to travel to the clinic with me, it’s a long day by yourself and I am a wuss☺️makes you wonder why they do people for free when they are so busy really. I’m too old to become an influencer 🤣
Hi. It’s fine for hubbie to join you, he can accompany you when you are having treatment too if you want someone to hold your hand. I went on my own, I found it was probably 50/50 of solo travellers when I went.
Cheers for this Nigel. For once a down to earth reassuring review. Do you mind if I ask how much you paid? Feel free to message privately if you prefer 👍
Hi Danny, no problem you asking. I give a full breakdown of the cost in one of the previous replies - but in total I’m around the £12k mark plus flights.
Attelia is one of my top choices. But trustpilot have flagged them for fake review, and google reviews look fake. I’m quite snobby and I’m the type of person who’s willing to pay more not to be waiting around. I think if I couldn’t sit down comfortably and was waiting hours and hours I would have walked out. But I’m sure most of these dentists are over booked. ..?
Hi Steve, sorry its taken so long to reply. Interesting about the fake review - they were deffo quite pushy to get me to review them before I left the clinic! So I'm 100% at least one of the reviews are genuine. Looking back now, I just think I was extremely unlucky on that first day. On my subsequent two visits it all ran pretty smoothly. I still recommend Attelia for sure, the way they looked after me when I got very ill on my third trip was simply brilliant - proper care.
@@rhyshuntley1616 hi Rhys. Yes, I won’t lie - I did smoke while I was in Antalya. Yes I’m an idiot! Not had any cigs at home though, been on zero nicotine vapes for over two years. If my memory serves me well, I think they say you shouldn’t smoke for two hours after having the implants fitted.
Hi Nigel Im going to Attelia tomorrow. Just wondered what is involved in the sinus lift and bone graft as I'm having that procedure. Is it painful. Thanks Mick
Hi Mick. Painful, no - absolutely not. Uncomfortable- yes, very much so. It’s pretty awful lying there having the feeling of someone with a hammer and chisel bashing the top of your mouth! It’s ever so weird. But I had absolutely no pain during or after it. The hardest bit of it is not being able to blow your nose, or sneeze through the nose for a little while. All the best for your visit, hope all goes well.
Hi Nigel Thanks for getting back to me. That's very reassuring. Sat in reception now, lovely place, had my x rays, just waiting for my consultation. Thanks again mate much appreciated. Mick
@@michaelrose7258 excellent! Have a free coffee, they are very nice! Hope all goes well, I’ve been finished just over 6 months now and couldn’t be happier with my new smile. Get through today - it’s worth it!
@nigel158b Thanks Nigel. Just out of surgery, Not too bad no pain. Just waiting to get my temporary teeth in and back tomorrow for implants, and a few extractions.if all ok last visit Thursday then 6 months to return
Sounds like a long, rough couple of days! Glad to hear you got through day 1 ok, today will hopefully be a little easier. Cheers for the updates, hopefully other viewers get some benefit from your updates too!
As I said in the video, my bone was too low for them to be able to do the implants on the first visit. Hopefully 7 months on the work will go ahead. This is the worst extreme, very few need 3 visits.
It was extremely hard finding any videos on Attelia Dental without influencers, celebrities or filtered content. You’re the first “real person” I’ve found giving an honest review, I can’t thank you enough!!

@@nigel158b go easy on the eating,until you get the permnates just incase
Thanks for this very informative and truthful video. Could I ask how much the work cost you.
Hi, thanks, glad it was helpful.
This first visit cost me around £1,800. That covered extractions, root canal treatments and the temporary teeth I have now. The temporaries are basically two dentures made of a metal base covered in ceramic. I’ve got these for 6 months.
Visit 2 will be £6 to £7k, that will be 13 x implants and some bone graft and sinus lift work.
Visit 3, 6 months after the implants will be the final visit when I’ll have 24 zirconium crowns/bridges fitted, that will be £4 - £5k. Hopefully then I’m done!
So, I’m paying the higher end of prices for sure, but that’s due to being a smoker for 35 years and having really inferior jaw bones. If I just had crowns fitted to my remaining teeth, it’s highly likely it would be a waste of money as my teeth were starting to fall out due to my crap jaws. This treatment is giving me a much better long term solution given the implants have a lifetime guarantee.

You get free check ups - but thats only if you just so happen to be in Antalya, they won't transport you over for that. I didn't hear of anyone having issues while I was there, they ensure they do the work early enough in the week so you can go back in for a final check the day before you fly home. They are very diligent - I think I mention in the video that my dentist wouldn't let me go back to the hotel until they were happy - that's reassuring I think. They will stay there until very late into the night until it's all good - someone in my hotel was there till almost midnight I think until the clinic was 100% happy.
@@nigel158b that's awesome. Thanks alot for your reply
I have a question for you, or anyone else. How do you get an x-ray in the UK that you can send to them? I asked a dentist near me, and they said no, as I'm not a patient. My own dentist doesn't have a 3d x-ray machine. I get the feeling if I ask my dentist to get a mate of his to do it, then I'm going to get asked why? Im pretty sure he's not a fan of dentistry abroad.
Good question. I'd probably just phone around all the private dentists in my area, it's easy money for them I would have thought. Or, at the very extreme - a clinic around Harley St London would certainly do it for the right price! Probably avoid NHS ones if you even have any near you.
But, I don't know. It's not vital to getting the work done at Attelia, but at least you won't have any surprises when you get there I Guess.
Hi Nigel thanks for this vid I’ve had a quote for my teeth they say 7 to 10 days do they work 7 days a week ?? Or is it Mon to Fri thanks del
Hi Del. They closed on Sunday only when I was out there.
Hi I'm going to Attelia in 2 weeks for my treatment. I'm a bit wary of taking all £ 7000 cash with me, any suggestions or tips please. Thanks, and brilliant video
Hiya. Don’t stress about the cash, they will relieve you of that on your first visit to the clinic! I would certainly keep it on me during the travel over, I’d be reluctant to pack it in my hold luggage for sure. There’s no legal issue, it’s only when you hit the equivalent of €10k that questions may be asked. I always felt very safe in Antalya airport too, and your transfer driver will be right by the door waiting for you. If your still concerned, a money belt/bumbag would be reassuring I imagine.
Best of luck with your treatment, I finished mine just under 5 months ago- couldn’t be happier I did it!
Thanks Nigel for replying. Great advice I feel a lot more comfortable now taking over that amount of cash. Yeh I was thinking of a bum bag or similar. Thanks again
Mick
Hi thank you for this I am looking at Attellia for implants I feel more confident now,can I ask did you go alone because I’m travelling with my husband and wondered if he is allowed to travel to the clinic with me, it’s a long day by yourself and I am a wuss☺️makes you wonder why they do people for free when they are so busy really. I’m too old to become an influencer 🤣
Hi. It’s fine for hubbie to join you, he can accompany you when you are having treatment too if you want someone to hold your hand. I went on my own, I found it was probably 50/50 of solo travellers when I went.
@@nigel158b thank you 😁
Cheers for this Nigel. For once a down to earth reassuring review. Do you mind if I ask how much you paid? Feel free to message privately if you prefer 👍
Hi Danny, no problem you asking. I give a full breakdown of the cost in one of the previous replies - but in total I’m around the £12k mark plus flights.
Attelia is one of my top choices. But trustpilot have flagged them for fake review, and google reviews look fake. I’m quite snobby and I’m the type of person who’s willing to pay more not to be waiting around. I think if I couldn’t sit down comfortably and was waiting hours and hours I would have walked out. But I’m sure most of these dentists are over booked. ..?
Hi Steve, sorry its taken so long to reply. Interesting about the fake review - they were deffo quite pushy to get me to review them before I left the clinic! So I'm 100% at least one of the reviews are genuine.
Looking back now, I just think I was extremely unlucky on that first day. On my subsequent two visits it all ran pretty smoothly.
I still recommend Attelia for sure, the way they looked after me when I got very ill on my third trip was simply brilliant - proper care.

hi nigel did you smoke after you had the implants put in ?
@@rhyshuntley1616 hi Rhys. Yes, I won’t lie - I did smoke while I was in Antalya. Yes I’m an idiot! Not had any cigs at home though, been on zero nicotine vapes for over two years. If my memory serves me well, I think they say you shouldn’t smoke for two hours after having the implants fitted.
Hi Nigel
Im going to Attelia tomorrow. Just wondered what is involved in the sinus lift and bone graft as I'm having that procedure. Is it painful. Thanks Mick
Hi Mick.
Painful, no - absolutely not. Uncomfortable- yes, very much so. It’s pretty awful lying there having the feeling of someone with a hammer and chisel bashing the top of your mouth! It’s ever so weird. But I had absolutely no pain during or after it.
The hardest bit of it is not being able to blow your nose, or sneeze through the nose for a little while.
All the best for your visit, hope all goes well.
Hi Nigel
Thanks for getting back to me. That's very reassuring. Sat in reception now, lovely place, had my x rays, just waiting for my consultation. Thanks again mate much appreciated.
Mick
@@michaelrose7258 excellent! Have a free coffee, they are very nice!
Hope all goes well, I’ve been finished just over 6 months now and couldn’t be happier with my new smile. Get through today - it’s worth it!
@nigel158b Thanks Nigel. Just out of surgery, Not too bad no pain. Just waiting to get my temporary teeth in and back tomorrow for implants, and a few extractions.if all ok last visit Thursday then 6 months to return
Sounds like a long, rough couple of days! Glad to hear you got through day 1 ok, today will hopefully be a little easier. Cheers for the updates, hopefully other viewers get some benefit from your updates too!
And do you know of any insurance companies that Will cover you if something does go wrong?.
Hi Richard. No, can't help with this one. I didn't look into it if i'm honest, just had the standard travel insurance.
Hi Nigel, how you getting on with the teeth now? Did you go back again?
Hey Donna. Yes, all done now - I'm just uploading an update video , should be online in about 30 minutes. Been back just over a week.
@@nigel158b ah good for you. I’m here now for my second visit.
@@donnareynolds8347 excellent! All going to plan?
Have you been back yet for the final work?
Hi Donna. No, not yet. I’m back there 7th November for 13 x implants, then will have to go back again 6 months after that.
But how come 3 times? I haven’t heard of that before?
As I said in the video, my bone was too low for them to be able to do the implants on the first visit. Hopefully 7 months on the work will go ahead. This is the worst extreme, very few need 3 visits.
@@nigel158b I’m going end of October, very anxious, but stocking up on noodles with your advice 😀
Hi Donna, how did you get on?
Hi all - I'm finished! Video update here ruclips.net/video/WYXyyhaL5uc/видео.html
