Why All-Inclusive Dental Packages Make Sense for Irish Patients
If you’re thinking about heading abroad for dental work, the planning part can feel a bit overwhelming. On top of finding a dentist you can trust, you’ve got to sort out flights, find a decent hotel, and figure out how to get around a massive city like Istanbul. It’s no wonder so many patients from Dublin, Cork, and Shannon prefer all-in-one dental packages.
Choosing a package simply takes the hassle out of the trip. By bundling your treatment, hotel, and local travel into one clear plan, you can just focus on getting better. Here at Dent of Istanbul, we keep things simple and transparent, making sure you get top-tier care without any of the travel stress.
Under the guidance of our chief physician, Dr. Nilgün Başar, our team takes care of all the local details. From the moment you land at Istanbul Airport, we’ll be there to look after you and make sure your trip is comfortable, safe, and goes exactly as planned.
What is Included in Our Istanbul Dental Packages?
We’re big believers in upfront pricing. Our packages cover all the essentials of your stay, so you won't have to worry about any surprise costs:
- Your Custom Dental Treatment: Whether you need implants, crowns, veneers, or a full-mouth restoration, your package covers all clinical fees, materials, and laboratory work.
- Advanced Digital Diagnostics: All 3D tomographic scans, panoramic X-rays, and digital impressions are included in the package.
- VIP Mercedes Transfers: We’ll have a private driver meet you at the airport and take you between your hotel and the clinic.
- Partner Hotel Accommodation: You’ll stay at one of our partner 4-star or 5-star hotels in safe, central areas like Şişli or Beşiktaş, right near the clinic.
- Dedicated Patient Coordinator: A coordinator who speaks your language will go with you to your appointments, making sure everything is clear and helping you out with anything you need.
Flight Connections: Getting to Istanbul from Ireland
Getting to Istanbul from Ireland is actually very straightforward, with good options from the main airports:
- From Dublin Airport (DUB): Turkish Airlines runs daily, direct flights to Istanbul Airport (IST). The flight is about four and a half hours, and they give you a generous 30kg checked bag allowance.
- From Cork Airport (ORK) & Shannon Airport (SNN): Even though there aren’t direct flights, connecting is easy. You can catch an Aer Lingus or Ryanair flight to London Heathrow, Gatwick, or Amsterdam, and then hop on a direct flight to Istanbul. You can also book through Turkish Airlines using their partner airlines, which means your bags get checked straight through.
Claiming Your 20% Med 2 Tax Relief
One great benefit for Irish patients is that you can claim 20% tax relief on non-routine dental work (like implants, crowns, and bridges) done at our clinic. Under Revenue rules, you do this using the Med 2 form.
We’ll help you sort this out before you leave. Once your treatment is finished, we’ll give you a completed, signed, and stamped **Med 2 Form** along with an itemized **English Invoice**. Just keep in mind that you can only claim the relief on the actual dental work, not on flights or hotel stays.
Conclusion: A Stress-Free Journey to a New Smile
Going with an all-inclusive package at Dent of Istanbul means you get top-quality dental care, a comfortable stay, and savings of thousands of Euros compared to private dental rates back home. We take care of all the details so you can just focus on your health and your new smile.
