Dentist in Kalkan

[yorkielovit]

I wanted to write this as I got a lot of advice from EK members last year and didn't do it after my return, so if anyone else is like me I hope it helps.

I had not (except in emergency for extractions as left so long) visited a dentist in about 30years as I had a real phobia from an incident as a child. My crown needed replacing and about 2 weeks before hitting kalkan the back of a top tooth had crumbled away.

On recommendations from here I got the courage to visit Cenk on the Kalamar road and while I cant say I am now happy to visit uk dentists I can honestly say he is marvelous. Already planning a visit when I return in September. Over 3 visits had a crown replaced, upper tooth repaired and 30years worth of cleaning all for about £120. Throw in the view, turkish music playing softly and the cutest grey and black dog downstairs who waited for me a bonus.

Thanks everyone
Michelle

I wish I had't such an issue, but I had to find someone to have a root canal treatment (which is about EUR 900 in Salzburg !!!) some of the locals recommended Dr. Ozbek ( assume - Atila Ozbek) and he was really pro and knew what he's doing and made me really feel comfortable and maybe much more crucial did not charge even EUR 200  he was able to speak basic German - not sure about his English skills, but he spent a year in London, I guess.

on the way to Kalamar and opposite side of the local healt clinic, upper floor of the Market, Gule.

Since my last post I visited Cenk again in September ended up having to have a root canal (very new experience for me) which took 2 visits of 90 mins including x rays, on top of that had a clean and polish and all came to 260 TL. Hopefully I can go through year before I return in Sept 2012.

I went to Cenk for root canal in May, (as UK NHS dentist had only drilled half way to nerve and not cleared it out properly) and he fitted a double crown. For some reason a bit broke off of the crown so I had to go back again in June, and he smoothed it off.
In August the crown broke up even more so when I went out in Sept, I went back to Cenk and he replaced the crown for free. He told me that he would always do this for work up to 5 years after he had done it. Try getting that sort of warranty from a UK dentist.

Hello all - just wondered if anyone has any contact details for the dentist(s) mentioned - I have just been quoted £300 for crown work that will need doing in June - I will be in Kalkan for the first two weeks of the month and whilst I am loath to go to the dentist whilst on holiday the reports on here sound very favourable and a lot cheaper than the quote I received today - which is not even guaraneed!  Thank you

Thank you so much BL - much appreciated - I will contact them and hopefully make an appointment before I arrive in Kalkan - never thought I would visit a dentist on holiday, but it makes sense economically!

Thank you ianb,  I did wonder about telephoning - it can be difficult conversing over the phone, and my Turkish is limited to say the least! - thanks again
