Implantology and Oral Surgery
Dr. Alp Erdem leads the maxillofacial surgery unit, and Dr. Berfin Cakrgoz specializes in periodontics and gum-related implant care. The surgical team performs full-arch restorations for patients with significant tooth or bone loss, including:
- All-on-4 and All-on-6: full-arch solutions using four or six titanium implants to support a permanent bridge.
- Zygomatic implants: extra-long fixtures anchored into the cheekbone for patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss.
- Computer-guided surgery: digital planning for implant placement with sub-millimeter precision.
The team uses SLActive dental implants, which show a 98.2% survival rate over ten years and support immediate loading, with functional teeth delivered within 24 to 72 hours. Procedures use components from Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and Neodent.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Smile Design
Prosthodontists Dr. Ahmet Ucar and Dr. Adil Ummahan perform Hollywood Smile transformations using Digital Smile Design (DSD) and 3D planning, giving patients a preview of the final result before treatment begins. Dr. Hakan Pekmaz manages orthodontic correction with Invisalign clear aligners. Available treatments include:
- Emax veneers and zirconia veneers for tooth shape and color correction
- Lumineers, ultra-thin veneers that often require less tooth preparation

The clinic provides a lifetime worldwide guarantee on many restorative materials.
