Best Dental Istanbul is a private oral and dental health polyclinic in Istanbul's Bakirkoy district. It opened in 2021 and operates from a single building with five specialized departments. The clinic focuses on cosmetic dentistry and restorative solutions. It serves international patients from the USA, Switzerland, and across Europe.
Accreditations and Professional Recognition
The clinic holds the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. The Ministry of Health of Türkiye issues this document to authorized providers. It confirms the clinic meets national standards for treating international patients. Dr. Emre Arslan, a key specialist at the clinic, is a member of the Turkish Dentists Association (TDB).
Smile Design and Cosmetic Dentistry
The clinic specializes in aesthetic smile makeovers using a fully digital workflow. Digital impressions and planning ensure precise results. Specialists handle complex cases, such as monolithic zirconia restorations in BL3 shades for patients with advanced wear or discoloration. Aesthetic treatments include:
- E-max laminate veneers
- Zirconium crowns
- Digital smile design (DSD)
- Teeth whitening
- Clear aligner therapy
The laboratory can complete laminate veneer work within five days. This quick turnaround lets international patients finish treatment in a single short trip.
Dental Implantology and Rehabilitation
Best Dental Istanbul provides complex restorative care for patients with missing teeth. Surgeons perform full-mouth rehabilitations using All-on-4 and All-on-6 protocols. These techniques support a full arch of teeth on four or six titanium implants. The clinic uses specialized materials for durability and aesthetics:
- Straumann and Osstem implant systems
- Titanium bar-supported PMMA provisional restorations
- Custom-designed titanium bar-supported zirconia prostheses
- Monolithic zirconia bridges
In documented All-on-6 cases, patients receive provisional teeth within 48 hours. They return after three months for the final zirconia restoration. One recorded case included 11 implants and 28 restorations in a single rehabilitation. Dr. Gurkan Atakan focuses on oral surgery and prosthodontics within these implant workflows.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
A digital-first approach guides every procedure. Surgeons use 3D imaging to plan implant placement before surgery begins, so accuracy improves and procedure time drops. The diagnostic suite includes:
- Cerec Omnicam for digital scanning and models
- Panoramic X-ray (orthopantomogram)
- Mandible and skull CT scans
- iMetric 4D photogrammetry for full-arch accuracy
Digital scanning replaces traditional putty impressions, which improves patient comfort. This data flows directly to the laboratory for computer-aided design of crowns and veneers.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides dedicated coordination for patients traveling to Istanbul. Staff offer support in English and Turkish throughout treatment. Free online consultations let patients share X-rays and receive a preliminary plan before traveling. This remote planning helps determine suitability for implants or veneers from home.
