Telford Woman Says Turkey Dental Implants Left Hole in Face

A £40,000 UK quote pushed her to seek treatment in Turkey with complications now under investigation.

Overview

  • She reports persistent leaking, bleeding and severe pain from a hole under her upper lip, with difficulty eating and breathing.
  • A private UK scan reportedly showed two implants pierced her nasal cavity after a sinus lift, bone grafts and placement of 15 implants.
  • She says repeated A&E visits and an overnight hospital stay on IV brought little relief, with her case described as a 'grey area.'
  • She is awaiting GP confirmation of suspected osteomyelitis and has an appointment with her original London surgeon in the coming weeks.
  • She sought lower-cost care abroad after a UK estimate of about £40,000, with a quoted £8,000 in Turkey and £3,000 paid upfront.
