Advanced Implant and Oral Surgery

The center runs a dedicated Implant Center led by PhD-qualified oral surgeons. This unit specializes in All-on-4, All-on-6, and All-on-8 full-arch reconstructions. The surgical team reports a 98%+ success rate for dental implants through precise digital planning.

Procedures are performed by specialists such as Dr. Özkan Özkaynak, who has around 25 years of experience. Dr. Ceyda Özkaynak provides expertise in bone and soft tissue management. The surgical department covers several complex treatments:

• Guided dental implant placement
• Sinus lifting and bone grafting
• Complex and impacted wisdom tooth extractions
• Flap surgery for advanced gum disease

For All-on-4 restorations, the clinic reports a 99% prosthesis survival rate at 10 years. Patients needing extractions typically heal for 2 to 3 months before implant placement.

Cosmetic Dentistry and Smile Design

The cosmetic department focuses on full-mouth rehabilitation and aesthetic smile design. Senior specialists like Dr. Uğur Gültekinler and Dr. Yekta Özsoy manage these cases using digital tools. An on-site dental laboratory gives the clinic direct quality control over all prosthetic components.

Restorative options include various high-grade materials and methods:

• Monolithic Zirconia and E.max crowns
• Porcelain veneers for smile makeovers
• Fixed dental bridges for missing teeth
• Implant-supported bridges and overdentures

A structured warranty program provides lifetime coverage for implant screws. Multi-year guarantees also cover crowns, veneers, and bridges when patients follow up as recommended.

Diagnostic and Treatment Technology

The clinic uses digital workflows to improve treatment accuracy and reduce visit times. Dedicated rooms are available for Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanning and 3D imaging. These tools let surgeons create a 3D blueprint for every implant case before surgery begins.

Other key technologies include:

• 3Shape™ Digital Impressions for accurate tooth mapping
• Digital Smile Design (DSD) Studio for aesthetic planning
• Intraoral 3D scanners to replace traditional dental molds
• Hospital-grade sterilization with advanced autoclaving technology

These planning tools help the team provide precise treatment estimates within 48 hours of an initial inquiry.

Services for International Patients

The facility features a unique recovery approach. An entire floor is dedicated to private resting suites. Each suite includes a Smart TV, an Xbox console, and a personal refreshment area. These rooms help patients decompress before and after surgical procedures.

The clinic provides several logistical services for international guests:

• VIP transfers between Antalya Airport and the clinic
• Fluent support in English, German, Russian, and Dutch
• Hotel partnerships with boutique accommodation options
• Assistance from a dedicated patient coordinator via WhatsApp

Free online consultations are available to verify eligibility for treatment packages. On-site coordination continues through every stage of care – from initial diagnostic scans to final follow-up checks.
