Implantology and Maxillofacial Surgery

The surgical team, led by Dr. Arda Yilmaz Özder and Dr. Erdogan Aydin, manages complex cases involving significant bone loss. Specialists use the Megagen AnyRidge system for immediate-loading protocols. This means patients can receive temporary teeth on the same day as surgery.

For patients with advanced jawbone atrophy, the clinic provides specialized surgical solutions:

• Zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbones
• Pterygoid and nasal implants for upper jaw stability
• Subperiosteal implants for customized bone support
• Sinus lifting and major bone reconstruction
• Ridge augmentation using specialized membranes

Both Dr. Aydin and Dr. Özder completed PhD studies at Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg in Germany. Their work focuses on minimally invasive techniques that improve implant stability and speed recovery.

Cosmetic Dentistry and Prosthetics

Prosthodontists Dr. Gökhan Yildiz and Uzm. Dt. Naim Ünsal specialize in full-mouth rehabilitation and aesthetic smile design. The clinic uses Ivoclar Prime zirconia for high-strength crowns and bridges. For veneers, the team chooses Ivoclar IPS e.max Press to achieve natural translucency and lasting results.

Aesthetic procedures are planned using Digital Smile Design (DSD) to preview outcomes. Restoration options include:

• Hollywood Smile transformations
• Zirconia crowns and bridges
• Laminated e.max veneers
• LED-activated professional whitening

Uzm. Dt. Naim Ünsal takes a whole-mouth approach to prosthetics by analyzing jaw mechanics and occlusion. This ensures new dental surfaces match the patient's natural bite.

Facility Technology and Safety

Vitaluxe Istanbul runs a digital workflow to increase diagnostic accuracy and treatment speed. The facility uses Sirona Cone-Beam CT 3D for detailed bone imaging. Doctors create digital impressions with iTero and CEREC Omnicam scanners – no traditional molds needed.

An in-house laboratory equipped with CEREC technology produces same-day crowns. Patient safety measures include HEPA-filtered air and UV-treated water. All instruments undergo Class B autoclave sterilization and are individually packaged for each patient.

Services for International Patients

The clinic offers a 5-day all-inclusive package designed for efficient treatment completion. Multilingual coordinators provide support in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Romanian. Patients receive a personalized treatment plan with a contract that fixes all costs before arrival.

Post-treatment care includes monthly video calls with the doctor for 12 months. The clinic partners with premium hotels within 3 kilometers of the facility. A multilingual reception team manages the entire patient journey – from the initial 24-hour consultation response to final follow-up.
