Achievements and Experience

The clinic has served over 20,000 clients since its founding. Dr. Tufan Tezcan graduated from the Dental Faculty of Istanbul in 1976. He then spent two years studying maxillofacial surgery in the United Kingdom starting in 1987.

Between 1989 and 1999, he worked at a private dental hospital in the Netherlands. He then returned to Turkey. His practice draws patients from the UK, UAE, France, and Ireland.

Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry

The dental department focuses on restorative solutions and smile improvements. Specialists use digital tools for planning, including Digital Smile Design and CEREC Omnicam scanning. This technology creates precise digital models for custom restorations.

The clinic offers several options for replacing missing teeth or fixing defects:

• Zeno® Zirconia crowns and bridges for metal-free results
• Dental implants using the Sendax Mini Implant System or Swiss-made components
• Porcelain veneers to improve tooth color and shape
• Cosmetic bonding using composite resin to repair enamel imperfections
• Professional bleaching using computerized light and oxygen for immediate results

Treatment packages include the "Hollywood Smile," which uses 24 zirconia or porcelain veneers. Full mouth restorations combine 12 implants with 24 PFM veneers.

Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics

Beyond dental care, the clinic provides surgical procedures for the face and body. Dr. Tezcan applies his maxillofacial training to rhinoplasty. This procedure can reshape the nasal tip or arch. It also addresses breathing issues like a deviated septum. The clinic performs eye contour surgery and uses fillers for mild cosmetic corrections.

The surgical department offers additional body contouring procedures:

• Breast augmentation using silicone prostheses
• Hair transplantation via the Gold FUE technique
• Medical aesthetics focusing on skin care and anti-aging treatments

The Gold FUE technique for hair restoration uses specialized instruments with gold-plated tips.

Technology and Diagnostics

The clinic uses digital imaging for accurate treatment planning. Diagnostic tools include panoramic X-rays (orthopantomogram) and periapical X-rays. CEREC Omnicam technology allows digital impressions, so patients skip traditional molding materials. These systems support two-stage implant placement and restorative crowns.
