Our Story
We know what it's like to get your teeth done abroad and be left in the dark. That's why we do things differently. Like really differently.
Seven years ago, I was the patient
I flew to Turkey on my own to get my teeth done. No real research, just a good price and a lot of confidence. A stupid decision, in hindsight.
The communication fell apart the moment I landed. My "design appointment" was a shade stick with three colours on it. I picked one. That was it.
But it went wrong. Badly.
Within three weeks I was back in Turkey. The clinic admitted they had given me the wrong colour, and every tooth was taken out and replaced. At my cost.
At home it was problem after problem. Chipping, sore gums, cheap materials, and nowhere to turn. It even ended in an emergency NHS appointment.
So I built what should have existed: a UK company that looks after you from your first message to long after you're home. That's what UK Smiles is today.

Our Mission
We believe getting your teeth done in Turkey should be as clear as booking a holiday.
That's why our mission is a simple one: a plan you understand, a price written down, and people who answer. Before, during and after.
That means no being left in the dark. No one size fits all. Just a smile designed with you, by a highly experienced, carefully vetted dental team we have worked with for years.
The Risk and the Guesswork, Taken Out.
Our promise
-
Always in the loop
Phone and video calls with the team in Turkey before you fly, including a tour of the clinic and a chat with the staff who will look after you. Plus a full patient guide so you know exactly what to prepare and bring.
Once you are there, fluent English speaking coordinators sit with you through every appointment, so nothing gets lost in translation.
-
Designed with you
Shade, shape, length and smile line are chosen with you in the design studio, not picked off a stick. You see the plan before you fly.
Then you wear a trial version in your mouth, and only when you are happy is anything fixed. See how the design studio works
