ISTANBUL, TR – November 21, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Maltepe Dental Clinic has announced the expansion of its London-based consultation and aftercare facility to meet unprecedented demand from British patients seeking accessible dental care alternatives. The clinic, which operates dual facilities in Istanbul and London, reports serving over 14,000 patients from more than 85 countries over its 22-year history.
The expansion comes as the UK faces a significant dental access crisis, with 90 percent of NHS dental practices unable to accept new patients. This shortage has prompted an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 UK residents to seek dental treatment abroad annually, with Turkey emerging as a primary destination for quality care at accessible prices.
“The establishment of our Dental Consultation Clinic in London represents a fundamental shift in how international dental care can be delivered,” said Dr. Yusuf Ilhan, Chief Dentist at Maltepe Dental Clinic and holder of UK General Dental Council registration. “By providing pre-treatment consultations and essential post-treatment follow-ups in London, we address the primary concern of dental tourism – ensuring continuity of care for our patients.”
The London facility, located at 92 Essex Road, serves as more than a marketing office. It functions as a fully operational clinical space where patients receive physical examinations, treatment planning, and aftercare services. This dual-location model allows UK patients to begin their dental journey locally before traveling to Istanbul for primary treatment, then return to London for follow-up care.
Maltepe Dental Clinic distinguishes itself through its comprehensive approach to international patient care. The facility maintains six national and international inspection certificates, including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, and ISO 10002:2018 certifications. The clinic also holds an international health tourism authorization certificate, ensuring compliance with rigorous quality standards.
“Our investment in advanced technology, including intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM systems, and 3D printing capabilities, enables seamless coordination between our London and Istanbul facilities,” explained Dr. Alper Gurhan, Senior Dentist at the clinic. “This technological infrastructure ensures precise treatment planning in London and predictable outcomes in Istanbul, building the trust that international patients require.”
The clinic offers a comprehensive range of Dental Treatment options, including veneers, zirconium crowns, full porcelain crowns, implants, cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, root canal treatment, and dentures. An in-house laboratory provides enhanced customization and aesthetic precision for each patient’s specific needs.
The global dental tourism market, valued at 8.55 billion dollars in 2024, is projected to reach 62.65 billion dollars by 2034. Turkey aims to capture 6 billion dollars in health tourism revenue by 2025, with dental care representing a significant portion of this target.
Maltepe Dental Clinic has established itself as a trusted destination for international dental patients through documented success stories, including more than 300 patient testimonials on various platforms and a 4.8 Google review rating based on over 320 reviews dating back to the 2010s. The clinic’s multilingual support team assists international patients throughout their treatment journey, from initial consultation through final aftercare.
