Aftercare Programme
Your Care Doesn't End When You Fly Home
Cellavia's aftercare programme is designed for patients who travel. Four structured phases — from the moment you leave the surgical chair to years after treatment — so you're never left without clinical support.
Why Aftercare Matters for Dental Tourism Patients
The biggest concern of international dental patients isn't the surgery itself — it's what happens after. “What if something goes wrong once I'm home?” That question deserves a real answer, not a vague promise.
Our aftercare programme is built around scheduled clinical touchpoints, remote monitoring, and a clear escalation path. Your treating surgeon leads every follow-up — not a general assistant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What aftercare do I get after dental treatment in Turkey?
Cellavia provides a structured 4-phase aftercare programme: immediate post-op care in Istanbul, pre-flight discharge checks, scheduled remote video follow-ups for 3 months, and long-term maintenance support. Every phase is documented and led by your treating clinician.
How do follow-ups work after dental implants abroad?
We schedule video calls at Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, and Month 3 after your procedure. Between calls, you can send healing photos via WhatsApp for assessment. Your surgeon — not a receptionist — reviews every case.
What if I have a problem after returning home from dental treatment?
Contact us immediately via our 24/7 WhatsApp emergency line. We assess remotely with photos and video calls. If an in-clinic visit is needed, we coordinate scheduling and provide partner hotel rates. Guarantee-covered procedures are performed at no additional clinical cost.
Does Cellavia coordinate with my local dentist?
Yes. At discharge, we provide a detailed treatment summary, imaging, and medication list. We also issue a coordination letter your local dentist can use for routine check-ups. If they need clinical clarification, we are available directly.
What if I need to return to Istanbul for follow-up treatment?
If your case requires an in-person visit, we schedule it around your availability. For guarantee-covered procedures, the clinical work is free. We also offer partner hotel arrangements to make the return trip as straightforward as possible.
Is the aftercare programme included in my treatment cost?
Yes. The entire aftercare programme — post-op care, discharge documentation, scheduled video follow-ups, and ongoing WhatsApp access — is included in your treatment fee. There are no hidden aftercare charges.
