Bravodent International Clinic is a private multi-specialty dental facility in Istanbul, Türkiye. Dr. Ümit Sait Yavuz and Dr. Hande Alpay Yavuz founded it in 2023. The clinic operates from a single building in the Kadıköy district. It houses six specialized departments and focuses on international dental tourism.
Accreditations and Achievements
The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. It is also integrated with the Health Türkiye portal, which supports regulated health services for travelers. The medical team reports a success rate over 95% for dental implant procedures when using modern systems.
Dental Implantology and Oral Surgery
The clinic specializes in full-arch restoration for patients with total tooth loss. Dr. Ümit Sait Yavuz, an oral surgeon with over 28 years of experience, oversees these complex procedures. He completed his PhD in Periodontology and trained at Philipps University Marburg in Germany.
Implant solutions include several specialized methods:
- All-on-4: Four implants support a full jaw of teeth, suitable for lower bone density.
- All-on-6: Six implants per jaw provide enhanced stability and support.
- Zygomatic Implants: These attach to the cheekbone for patients with severe jawbone loss.
- Same-day Teeth: Immediate load options allow temporary prostheses on the day of surgery.
Surgical capabilities also include sinus lifting and bone grafting. These procedures prepare the jaw for implants when bone volume is insufficient. Surgeons also perform wisdom tooth extractions, including microsurgical removal for impacted teeth near nerve lines.
Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry
Cosmetic treatments are led by Dr. Hande Alpay Yavuz, who has 20 years of experience in prosthodontics. The clinic uses Digital Smile Design (DSD) to plan Hollywood Smile transformations. Patients view a physical Mock-Up preview of their final result before permanent application begins.
Restorative materials include E-max veneers and zirconium crowns. These are selected based on facial features and durability requirements. For tooth preservation, the endodontics department performs root canal therapy. Microscopic techniques help clean hidden canals.
Orthodontics and Pediatric Care
Bravodent provides orthodontic services for both adults and children. The clinic uses digital impressions to create clear aligners, such as Invisalign. Pediatric care includes specialized orthodontics for teens and preventive treatments like fissure sealants.
Diagnostic Technology
The clinic uses in-house digital imaging for surgical accuracy. Planning for every implant case starts with CBCT (3D dental tomography). This technology provides 3D anatomical mapping of the jaw and nerves.
Additional diagnostic tools include:
- Cone Beam CT scans for bone assessment
- Panoramic and periapical dental X-rays
- Electronic axiography for jaw movement analysis
- Cerec Omnicam scanning for digital diagnostic models
- 3D surgical templates for precise implant placement
Design workflows use AI-supported algorithms to customize crown and veneer shapes for each patient.
International Patient Support
The clinic provides coordinated services for patients traveling from the UK, Europe, and beyond. Personalized plans are created through photo assessments before arrival. Translators in English, French, Ukrainian, Russian, and Arabic assist during all appointments.
Logistical services for international guests include:
- Free initial consultations
- VIP airport and hotel transfers
- Contracted hotel arrangements in Istanbul
- Lifetime support messaging after returning home
- WhatsApp follow-up and formal warranty documents
Patients receive an implant passport and documentation. This ensures continuity of care in their home country.
