Around 70 % of our new patients come to us through referrals. That is no accident — it is the result of a clinical practice geared to long-term relationships rather than first-time purchases. If you are pleased with your treatment and you would like to mention us to a friend, a colleague or a family member: thank you. We have a structured referral programme through which both sides receive a fair benefit, without turning the relationship into a business transaction.
A thank-you for every successful referral (your referred friend actually comes for treatment). The credit is applied to your next treatment, an aftercare visit or a family member’s treatment. Alternatively, on request, we donate the same amount in your name to a dental aid charity (Dentaid, Bridge2Aid).
Up to £680 saving on larger packages. Applies to package prices from £1,700 (single treatments under £1,700, such as whitening alone, are excluded). Combinable with the family package discount — the larger of the two applies, not both.
For you (the referring patient)
£170
For the new patient
–10 %
By email to info@gc.clinic or on WhatsApp. We send you a personal code (for example “MARIA-K-4722”).
By email, text or in person — whichever suits you. No deadlines, no expiry pressure (the code is valid for 24 months).
At first contact with us (written-plan request, video consultation or form). We note “Referred by Maria K.”
A recommendation has a different character from marketing. When you mention us to a friend, you are doing so on the basis of your personal experience — not because we are incentivising you. That authenticity is the value. An overly aggressive incentive system destroys it: if you received £400 per referral, you would mention us to anyone, including those for whom we are not the right fit.
That is why our £170 for you plus 10 % for the new patient sits in the moderate range. It is recognition of your time and the quality of your referral, not a commercial incentive. And we deliberately have no chain incentives (“refer 5 people and receive X”). Each referral is considered and rewarded on its own.
We also ask you: refer us only to people for whom we are likely to be the right fit. If your friend is highly anxious and needs short distances, we are probably not the right choice — please do not refer us in that case, even if you forgo the £170. A poorly suited referral does us more harm than good.
A friend has been quoted £15,000+ in the UK and is looking at alternatives
A colleague needs revision after Hungarian treatment
Family in the UK or Ireland needs smile design or veneers
A partner is considering full-mouth rehabilitation
A family with several members — family package on the table
Someone with failed first-line treatment (UK private, Antalya, Hungary)
Fear of flying or unable to travel for a longer flight
Acute emergency (pain, abscess) — to be treated locally
Only a routine simple filling needed (not worth the trip)
Severe medical complexity (tumour, severe jaw anomalies)
A sceptical person likely to project anxiety and never be content
Solely to claim the “friend bonus” for themselves
If you do not have anyone in your circle who would benefit from treatment — or if making a referral does not suit your style — there are other ways:
Google / Trustpilot review: an honest review (positive AND critical aspects welcome) is valuable to us. Other patients find us through external review platforms.
Social media · with or without a tag: a photo of your new smile (entirely if you wish) tagged @dr.cansuozturk or #gcclinic helps — we never ask for it.
In-clinic sharing at home: if you go to your UK dentist for follow-up and other patients there might be interested — a leaflet (sent by post on request) for their waiting area is also welcome.
Donation instead of the £170 credit: if you are not planning future treatment, on request we donate the £170 to Dentaid or Bridge2Aid (in your name, with a receipt for you).
Who is eligible to refer: existing patients with completed treatment (at least 1 visit to Istanbul).
Who can be referred: any adult who has not been treated by us before. Family members may be referred — within the family package framework (see Family Treatment).
Minimum spend for the discount: a £1,700 treatment package. Single items under £1,700 (for example whitening alone) are excluded.
No stacking: the 10 % referral discount does not stack on top of the 20 % family package discount. We apply the larger of the two.
Credit expiry: your £170 credit expires after 36 months if unused (ample time, but not unlimited).
No cash withdrawal: the credit is a treatment credit, not cash or a bank payment. Alternatively, donation to a dental charity.
Privacy: the referred person is not informed about YOUR referral (anonymity preserved). Only an internal note records who referred whom.
No selling pressure: you are NOT obliged to make a referral. The programme is only available when you ask for the code yourself.
By WhatsApp or email — that is all. We send you the code within 1–2 working days, even if your last treatment was years ago.
