About AYT Dent
European-trained dentistry, a modern clinic in Muratpaşa, and three decades of hands-on experience
Dr. Svetlana Nikolaeva Aparı, MD
For more than thirty years, Dr. Aparı has treated patients across Bulgaria, Germany, and Turkey — always with the same approach: listen first, explain clearly, and do the work properly.
She graduated from Sofia University’s Faculty of Dentistry and went on to specialise in dental surgery in Munich. Before opening AYT Dent in Antalya, she built and ran three successful clinics in Sofia. That background shows in how the practice is run: organised appointments, sterile protocols, and no rushing through complex cases.
Implants, veneers, full-mouth rehabilitation, surgery — these are everyday procedures here, not exceptions. Dr. Aparí trains continuously in cosmetic dentistry and implantology and works with recognised implant systems and premium restorative materials. Patients from the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, and Scandinavia often comment on how straightforward communication is; she and her team speak English, Dutch, German, Turkish, Russian, and Bulgarian.
If you are nervous about dental work, you are not alone — many of our international patients feel the same before their first visit. Dr. Aparí is known for a calm chairside manner and for taking time to walk through options without pressure. A routine check-up or a multi-visit smile restoration receive the same level of attention.

AYT Dent in Muratpaşa, Antalya
Our clinic sits on Ali Çetinkaya Caddesi in Muratpaşa — central Antalya, close to hotels, cafés, and the tram line. The treatment rooms are equipped for digital imaging, implant placement, and same-day restorative work where your plan allows it. We keep the environment quiet and uncluttered; most patients say it feels closer to a private European practice than a busy tourist clinic.
Sterilisation follows strict international standards. Every treatment plan is written down with clear pricing before work begins — no surprise extras on the day. If you are travelling from abroad, we coordinate visits so that surgical and aesthetic stages fit your flight dates whenever clinically possible.

Antalya — sun, sea, and a sensible base for treatment
Most of our patients combine dental care with a few days on the Mediterranean. Antalya makes that easy.
Antalya is Turkey’s best-connected coastal city for European travellers. Antalya Airport (AYT) has direct flights from Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, London, Stockholm, and dozens of other hubs — often under four hours. Muratpaşa, where we are based, is minutes from the old harbour and walking distance from many mid-range and upscale hotels.
Between appointments you can walk the cobbled lanes of Kaleiçi (the old town), eat grilled fish by the marina, or take a short taxi to Konyaaltı or Lara beach. Spring and autumn are ideal for treatment: warm enough to sit outside in the evening, cool enough that you will not mind skipping a full day in the sun after surgery. Many patients bring a partner or friend; there is plenty to do while you recover between visits.
Costs for hotels and meals are noticeably lower than in Western Europe, which helps when you are budgeting for flights plus treatment. English is widely spoken in hotels and restaurants in the centre. We are happy to suggest areas to stay if you have not booked yet — proximity to the clinic matters more than the hotel name.
Quality dentistry without Western European price tags
Turkey has become a practical choice for patients who want implant work, veneers, or full smile makeovers done well — and done once — without paying Netherlands or Germany list prices. The saving is real, but it only makes sense if the clinic, the materials, and the follow-up are sound. That is why many of our patients come through personal recommendation rather than generic “dental holiday” adverts.
At AYT Dent we use the same implant and ceramic brands you would expect in a good European practice. The difference is overhead and pricing structure, not shortcuts on clinical standards. Dr. Aparí is registered with the Turkish Dental Association; documentation for your home dentist is provided in English when you need it.
We do not sell packages with hidden extras. You receive a written plan, a clear timeline, and direct contact with the clinic before you book flights. If something in your case is better handled in two trips rather than one, we say so upfront.
