Zygomatic All-on-6 implants in Lo Smiles UK Ltd

Lo Smiles opened in 1997. It combines UK-based dental consultations with hospital treatment in Antalya, Türkiye. The Antalya facility is a hospital-based clinical center with modern treatment rooms and six operating theaters for general anesthesia cases. It supports end-to-end dental care through four specialized departments and an on-site laboratory for immediate restoration production.

Accreditations and Standards

Lo Smiles holds the International Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate from the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health. This confirms the facility meets national standards for treating international patients. Before traveling, patients receive written details of all manufacturers and material lot numbers.

The clinical pathway keeps care consistent across borders. Patients see the same clinician for initial planning in the UK and surgery in Antalya. So the treatment plan, warranty, and lead doctor stay the same throughout.

Dental Specialties and Rehabilitation

The clinic focuses on four main areas of dental care. Resident clinicians manage each department, overseeing cases from first consultation to final UK-based aftercare.

Cosmetic and Full-Mouth Rehabilitation

Dr. Behzat Ayyildiz and Dr. Hanin Ahmed manage complex full-arch cases. Full-mouth rehabilitation typically lasts 10–14 days. It addresses bite correction alongside aesthetic improvements. The team uses dental implants and prosthetic work to restore complete oral function. Full-arch implant surgery uses Hiossen titanium systems.

Aesthetic Dentistry and Prosthodontics

Dr. Ridvan Sahin and the aesthetic team use Digital Smile Design to plan visual outcomes. This department specializes in high-durability restorations using recognized materials:

• Ivoclar IPS e.max ceramic systems
• Zirconium dioxide crowns and bridges
• Implant-supported prosthetics (All-on-4 and All-on-6)
• Custom-milled veneers

The on-site laboratory mills restorations on the same floor as treatment rooms. This means the team can make adjustments quickly during the patient's stay.

Restorative and General Dentistry

Dr. Cem Sahut Vahap focuses on preserving natural teeth through restorative techniques. The department uses rotary endodontics for root canal treatments, usually completed in a single visit. Preventive care includes periodontal gum therapy – scaling and root planing – to treat periodontitis.

Any minor needs found during initial scans are added to the main treatment plan. Tooth-colored composite fillings are finished in one session.

Diagnostic and Treatment Technology

Lo Smiles uses a fully digital workflow for accuracy and shorter treatment time. The diagnostic suite includes panoramic, periapical, and targeted X-rays to assess bone health and root structures. Key platforms include:

• TRIOS 6 by 3Shape intraoral scanners
• iTero digital diagnostic modeling
• In-house CAD/CAM milling systems

Digital impression files go to the Antalya laboratory the same evening. This speed allows most restorative work to finish in 5–7 days.

Services for International Patients

The patient journey begins with a free consultation in the UK to create a written medical plan. Once in Antalya, a dedicated nursing and coordination team provides support. Service features include:

• Driver-assisted airport transfers upon arrival in Antalya
• Language support in English, Hebrew, Turkish, Arabic, and Italian
• Coordinated clinical appointments for a consistent daily rhythm
• UK-based follow-up reviews at six weeks and six months

The clinic provides a lifetime warranty on dental implants. Crown and bridge work is covered by a five-year guarantee, with all terms provided in writing.
