DONT GET COMPOSITE BONDING

I honestly don’t even know where to start. I’m writing this the day before my birthday, and instead of feeling excited, I’m sitting here feeling sick, stressed, and completely self-conscious about my smile all because of the treatment I received at Dentleon.I came to Turkey for composite bonding and was promised a 2-day procedure. Instead, I ended up in their chair for 5 days in a row, and the only reason I even had that much access is because my partner was having crowns done too. Every day was another attempt to “fix” something they had done wrong the day before. Five consecutive days wasted. Five days of hope, frustration, and embarrassment and after all of that, my teeth are still a disaster.I paid £1,800 (over 100,000 TL) for 20 bonded teeth, and almost half of them are so thin and translucent you can literally see my natural yellow through them. I did enquire initially for teeth whitening too and was told during the consultation they’d discuss my options. This was never mentioned again. The shapes are inconsistent, the finish is dull, and the final polish actually made things worse. It looks nothing like what they advertise. It looks nothing like a professional treatment. I’m devastated.I complained multiple times which I never do and I was still made to feel like the teeth were fine even though they altered it everyday! Being looked at like I was a problem, being talked about in a language I couldn’t understand while sitting there helpless, being made to feel like I’m overreacting when I asked for the composite to just be removed… it was humiliating. This is my FACE. My smile. And I felt too embarrassed to complain again in the clinic at the end, even though I was leaving with teeth I’m ashamed of. The fact that they were happy with the results is shocking to me. Only one member of staff privately said they felt sorry for how my teeth had turned out.After leaving the clinic, I went to a reputable dentist who confirmed exactly what I feared: the work was done incorrectly and needs to be redone. I had to spend another £500 just to make my teeth barely bearable. And let me be clear they are STILL an epic fail. That £500 wasn’t to fix the problem, it was just damage control.And when I asked Dentleon for a refund? They offered me £250. Out of £1,800. £250 for a week of stress, disappointment, and teeth I now feel too ashamed to smile with on my own birthday.To make things even worse, the area of the hotel Dentleon put us in felt unsafe. I’m only saying this to warn other travellers. Staff at the hotel themselves told us two men staying there were robbed that week and had to leave Turkey without finishing their dental work because they had no access to money. Another tourist told us a bar charged his card £37 for one beer.Dentleon might not be responsible for the area, but people need to know where they might be placed.I’m leaving Turkey today, and instead of feeling confident and happy after an expensive cosmetic procedure, I’m miserable and embarrassed. I’m spending my birthday tomorrow trying not to cry about my teeth. This whole experience has been a nightmare. I trusted Dentleon with my smile, and I regret it every single day.I hope this review stops at least one other person from going through what I’ve had to go through
