Many international dental tourism patients arrive at the clinic without a clear picture of what the first day will involve. This guide walks through exactly what happens at your initial WeCare consultation — what we examine, what we ask, what you see, and what decisions you make.
Arrival Day Schedule
Hotel pickup: Multilingual coordinator collects you from hotel lobby (15-30 minutes from clinic depending on hotel choice). Mercedes-class vehicle, English-speaking driver.
Arrival at clinic (15-30 min):
Photography session (15 minutes):
Clinical Examination Phase
Treating doctor consultation (45-60 minutes):
The treating doctor (Dr. Yılmaz for implants, Dr. Kaya for veneers/cosmetic, Dr. Schäfer for endodontics) personally examines you:
The doctor explains everything as they examine. You can ask questions throughout — there is no rushed feeling. Most consultations exceed 45 minutes because the doctor takes time to understand your specific case.
3D CBCT Imaging (10 minutes)
Sirona Orthophos SL 3D scanner produces a detailed 3D image of your jaws, teeth, and surrounding anatomy:
Digital Smile Design Session (60-90 minutes)
For cosmetic cases (veneers, Hollywood smile, smile redesign), this is the most important part of day 1:
Computer design (30 minutes):
The doctor + coordinator + ceramist (when applicable) work with your photographs to:
Acrylic mock-up (45-60 minutes):
A temporary composite material is shaped over your existing teeth to physically demonstrate what the planned smile would look like in your mouth, in your face, in different lighting:
Approval moment:
Once you approve the design, treatment proceeds. If you want changes, the design is iterated at no additional charge — sometimes in real-time.
Treatment Planning Discussion (30-45 minutes)
The treating doctor presents your treatment plan:
You ask any questions. Take notes. Discuss with companion if traveling with one. There is no pressure to decide immediately.
Decision Points
By end of day 1, you make these decisions:
If you need overnight to think, that is fine. Surgical procedures typically scheduled day 2 or 3 of your visit, giving you 24-48 hours to commit fully.

"What if I disagree with the plan?"

Patient Comfort During Consultation
The clinic environment is designed for international patients:
We aim for the consultation to feel like a thorough medical examination, not a sales presentation. The treating doctor's job is to explain options, not to upsell.
