You have a dental concern — but before booking a flight or a clinic visit, you have a dozen questions swirling around: How many trips will I need? When should I schedule my flights? Is the cost saving really as significant as people say? At Miva Dental in Karabağlar, İzmir, we've built a WhatsApp pre-consultation process specifically to answer these questions before you ever set foot in our clinic.
**Why Pre-Consultation Matters** Dental treatment — especially when planned from another country — involves real logistical complexity: flights, accommodation, time off work, family arrangements. Heading into all of that with uncertainty about the number of visits or the scope of treatment can be both stressful and expensive. A structured WhatsApp consultation significantly reduces that uncertainty by allowing our team to carry out a preliminary assessment of your case before you arrive.
**From First Message to Appointment: How It Works** When you message us at +90 544 642 64 82, our coordination team responds in Turkish, English, or German — whichever suits you best. You'll be asked to share any existing X-rays (panoramic or CBCT), photographs of your teeth, and a brief description of your concerns. Our dentists review this material to provide an initial outline of treatment steps, likely number of visits, and a suggested appointment schedule.
**What Can Be Confirmed in Advance — and What Can't** Via WhatsApp, we can give you a realistic picture of the treatment direction, estimated number of visits, and timing. However, the definitive treatment plan and final pricing are always confirmed after an in-clinic examination — digital images provide valuable guidance, but they cannot replace a hands-on clinical assessment. We believe this honest approach is what makes the planning process truly reliable.
**Combining Multiple Treatments in One Trip** Some of our patients from Manchester have completed three implants across two visits; others from Hamburg have coordinated zirconia crown work and teeth whitening within a single trip. This kind of efficient scheduling is only possible because the groundwork is laid during the WhatsApp stage — identifying which treatments can be sequenced together and which require separate sessions eliminates unnecessary travel.
**Practical Details for International Patients** Our clinic is approximately 25 minutes from İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport. We can provide general guidance on local accommodation options. Patients travelling from the UK, Germany, and Gulf countries frequently report significant cost advantages compared to treatment at home — for a general indication of savings, feel free to ask via WhatsApp. Specific pricing is confirmed following your examination.
**Specialist Routing from Day One** Restorative and root canal cases are reviewed by Dr. Murat Atakan Acar; periodontology and surgical cases by Dr. Erdem Alperen Ofli. General treatment needs are handled by Dr. Süleyman Tekinel and Dr. Döndü Yüksel Ofli. Being directed to the right specialist from the outset means your treatment plan is built on the correct foundation — not adjusted retrospectively.
**How to Get Started** Open WhatsApp, send your existing X-ray or a clear photo of the area of concern to +90 544 642 64 82, and describe your symptoms briefly. Our team typically responds within one business day. Miva Dental is located at Maliyeciler İhsan Alyanak Bulvarı No:73/B, Karabağlar, İzmir. Arriving in İzmir knowing that every step has already been mapped out makes the whole experience significantly less daunting — and considerably more efficient.
