Longevita’s Philosophy
Longevita is a UK-registered medical tourism facilitator. We aim to make high-quality dental treatments more accessible by arranging care through accredited independent clinics.
Medical travel to Turkey can allow clients to access treatment within a shorter timeframe compared to extended waiting periods elsewhere.
In some publicly funded healthcare systems, delays in accessing treatment may affect an individual’s wellbeing.
Healthwatch England has reported challenges within NHS dentistry, including extended waiting times. According to their findings, wait times can range from several months to longer periods depending on availability and location.
Access to timely appointments can be difficult, and in some cases, appointments may be rescheduled or delayed.
As a result, some individuals explore private dental care in the UK, where costs can be higher, or consider travelling abroad for treatment.
For this reason, Longevita works with accredited independent dental clinics in Turkey, helping clients access treatment options that are both accessible and competitively priced.
How We Select Dental Clinics in Turkey
We understand some of the challenges individuals may face when seeking dental care. Longevita is a UK-registered medical tourism facilitator, and we work with accredited independent dental clinics in Turkey to help clients access suitable treatment options.
We offer transparent and competitive pricing for treatments available through our network. Clients considering multiple procedures may be offered tailored pricing options depending on their treatment plan.
The quality of healthcare in another country is often a key consideration for individuals travelling abroad for dental treatment, particularly when they are less familiar with local regulations and governing bodies.
In Turkey, the Ministry of Health (MoH) oversees and inspects medical facilities to support patient safety and standards of care. Longevita is a UK-registered medical tourism facilitator, and we arrange treatment through accredited independent clinics that are registered with the MoH.
These clinics follow established sterilisation protocols, including the use of autoclave systems that utilise heated steam to sterilise instruments and equipment.
Sterilisation processes are an important part of clinical safety standards, and all procedures carry potential risks — clients should discuss these with their clinician.
The independent clinics are equipped with modern technology, which can support a range of dental treatments and may contribute to improved clinical outcomes. However, individual results and experiences can vary.
Once you book your initial consultation with us, our team will support you throughout your treatment journey by coordinating communication with the independent clinic and your clinician.
Many individuals may feel uncertain about travelling abroad for dental treatment, particularly when it comes to aftercare and follow-up arrangements.
After returning home, follow-up care can be carried out remotely. Independent clinicians typically provide online consultations as part of their aftercare protocols, which may be included in your treatment plan.
Aftercare arrangements can extend for up to 12 months, depending on the treatment and the clinician’s recommendations. Individual recovery and follow-up schedules may vary.
You can also access the Support Portal, where helpful guides and infographics are available for aftercare information.
If you have further questions or require assistance, you can submit a request through the portal, and our team will help coordinate communication with the appropriate clinic.

Accreditations of Dental Clinics
When considering dental treatment in Turkey, it is important to review the accreditations and regulatory status of the clinic where treatment will take place.
