★Extra Support

You Don't Have to Travel Alone

Travelling abroad for dental treatment can feel daunting, especially when you're travelling on your own. Dental tourism in Turkey is popular with UK patients, but the practical side of a trip — where you stay, how you get to the clinic, who you ask when something is unclear — is usually the part that worries people most.

SmileOver is designed to give solo travellers an extra level of support. You are not handed a treatment date and left to work out the rest; your coordinator stays with you through the organising, and is reachable in English while you are here.

We can help coordinate

Your trip. Your treatment. Your SmileOver coordinator beside you throughout the journey.

★Your Journey

From Your First Message to Your Journey Home

Here is how a solo trip to Marmaris usually runs, from the first message to the flight home. Your own plan will be shaped around your treatment and how long you can travel for.

01

Speak to Us

Contact SmileOver and tell us what you're looking to achieve with your smile. You can message, call or send photographs — whichever feels easiest when you are on your own.

02

Free Consultation

Our team will help arrange your consultation and discuss your dental treatment options, including zirconia crowns, dental implants and full smile makeovers where they are suitable.

03

Plan Your Trip

We can help coordinate your accommodation, airport transfers, clinic transfers and appointments, so your dates work around your treatment rather than the other way around.

04

Arrive in Turkey

We'll help make your arrival as straightforward as possible, with your planned transfers and accommodation arranged around your treatment schedule.

05

Attend Your Appointments

Your SmileOver coordinator remains available throughout your stay to help you understand what happens next, and to answer anything you would rather ask in English.

06

Enjoy Your Stay

You can explore Turkey, relax at your hotel and enjoy your time away while your treatment is being coordinated. Travelling alone also means your days between appointments are entirely your own.

07

Aftercare & Going Home

We'll provide guidance on your next steps and remain available to help with questions following your treatment, including once you are back in the UK.

★If You're Feeling Apprehensive

Nervous About Travelling Alone?

That's completely understandable.

Travelling to another country for dental treatment is a big decision, and doing it on your own makes it a bigger one.

You may have questions like

“What happens when I arrive?”

“Who will pick me up?”

“How will I get to the clinic?”

“What if I don't understand something?”

“What happens after my treatment?”

That's exactly why SmileOver exists.

Our goal is to make the journey feel organised, supported and straightforward — so you can concentrate on your new smile.

★Solo Traveller FAQ

Travelling alone: questions patients ask

Can I travel to Turkey alone for dental treatment?

Yes. Many of the patients we look after in Marmaris travel on their own. Your coordinator arranges the parts that are hardest to organise alone, such as your airport transfer, your hotel and your clinic appointments, and stays reachable in English while you are here. Whether travelling alone is right for you is your decision, and it is worth thinking honestly about how you feel about flying, being away from home and managing a new place on your own.

Is dental treatment in Turkey suitable for solo travellers?

Suitability is a clinical question rather than a travel one: your dentist assesses your teeth, gums, bone and general health and tells you what is realistic for you. What makes a trip workable for a solo traveller is the organisation around it. Transfers, accommodation and appointments are arranged in advance, so you are not finding your own way around an unfamiliar city between appointments.

Will someone meet me at the airport?

A private transfer can be arranged to meet you at Dalaman Airport and take you to your accommodation. Your coordinator confirms the details with you before you fly, including what to do if your flight is delayed and how to reach the team when you land.

Can SmileOver arrange my hotel?

Yes. As part of a Turkey dental package we can arrange accommodation close to the clinic, so your hotel and appointments are only a few minutes apart. If you would rather book your own hotel, or stay somewhere different, we can plan your treatment schedule around that instead.

Can SmileOver arrange transfers to the dental clinic?

Yes. Transfers between your hotel and the clinic can be arranged as part of your trip, so you don't need to work out routes, timings or taxis between appointments on your own.

Will I have an English-speaking coordinator?

Yes. The SmileOver team you speak to by WhatsApp, email or phone speaks English, and your coordinator is your point of contact before you travel and throughout your stay in Marmaris.

Can someone help me communicate with the clinic?

Yes. Your coordinator can help with communication between you and the clinical team, including translation where it is needed, and can go over anything again if an explanation did not fully make sense to you.

What happens if I have a problem while I'm in Turkey?

Contact your coordinator. If something is unclear, you are worried about your treatment, or you need help with arrangements, tell us while you are still here so it can be looked at straight away. Urgent medical problems should always be treated as urgent, so seek local medical help or emergency services if you need them, and let us know as soon as you can.

Can I travel alone if I'm nervous about dental treatment?

You can talk to us about that before you book. Tell your coordinator if you feel anxious about dental appointments or about travelling alone, and we can explain what happens at each stage, arrange time for your questions before treatment begins, and discuss practical arrangements that would help. Feeling nervous is common, and it does not prevent you from being assessed or treated.

How long will I need to stay in Turkey?

It depends on your treatment. Crown-based plans are often arranged across roughly five to seven days, while implant treatment usually involves more than one visit with healing time in between. You will be given an estimate before you book, so you know what to plan for and how long to book time off.

Can I speak to someone before booking my treatment?

Yes, and we would encourage it. Request a free consultation or a callback and speak to an English-speaking coordinator about your teeth, your questions and what a trip could look like. There is no obligation to book anything.

Can SmileOver help me after my treatment?

Yes. You leave with written aftercare guidance, and your coordinator stays reachable once you are home so you can ask questions while you heal. If something needs to be looked at, we can help arrange a review with your own dentist or hygienist in the UK.

Detailed guidance on healing and follow-up at home is on our aftercare page.
