About The Smile Makers
UK-supervised premium dental treatments abroad with quality and safety at the forefront
Our Story – Quick Read
Transforming medical tourism with UK expertise and rigorous standards
As a UK-qualified dentist with over 20 years of experience, I created The Smile Makers after witnessing the challenges faced by patients receiving substandard dental treatments abroad. Many returned to the UK with clinical complications that were initially undetectable but posed serious long-term issues. Due to liability concerns, UK dentists often hesitated to provide follow-up care, leaving these patients stranded.
To tackle this, I developed a rigorous Clinical Compliance System based on UK standards and personally evaluated over 90 clinics across Turkey using real patient cases and X-rays. Only a select few met the high standards required for clinical reasoning, material quality, hygiene, aftercare, and ethical practice. These exclusive clinics now form the core of The Smile Makers' offering.
At The Smile Makers, we provide end-to-end care with UK professionals overseeing each step of your journey, from initial assessment through treatment abroad to aftercare back in the UK. Our approach ensures safe, affordable, high-quality treatments—typically at least 50% cheaper than UK prices, without compromising standards.

UK-qualified Dentist (BDS) | Founder of The Smile Makers
With over two decades of experience in both NHS and private practice, I've witnessed countless patients who returned from receiving substandard dental treatment abroad. These experiences highlighted a significant issue: many UK dentists were hesitant to take on the complex task of rectifying these overseas treatments.
Recognising this gap in care and the urgent need for a solution, I founded The Smile Makers to ensure that patients seeking affordable dental care abroad would receive the highest quality treatment with proper UK supervision.
