Best Treatment of caries dentists in Istanbul: TOP 47 doctors

Dr. Gülay Akay, a doting and ambitious mother of three, turned her lifelong passion into a full-time career and never looked back. She has more than 16 years of experience in cosmetic dentistry, dental implantology, same-day dentistry as well as bone grafting, laser dentistry and digital smile design.

With a vision to redefine the dental industry, Dr. Gülay laid foundations of Dentakay and worked relentlessly to turn it into a massive, prominent brand.

Since the beginning, Dr. Gülay’s ultimate goal was 100% patient satisfaction and it is still the foundational basis and backbone of Dentakay.

Following my graduation from Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry in 2004, I embarked on a journey of post-graduate studies in Pediatric Dentistry at the same esteemed institution, culminating in the attainment of a Ph.D. degree in 2011.

My areas of expertise encompass a spectrum of specialized treatments, including

• - ​​dental procedures administered under general anesthesia and sedation,
• - preventive orthodontic treatments,
• - aligners,
• - treatment of early childhood cavities.

As a mother of two, I prioritize fostering a serene and reassuring atmosphere throughout the dental treatment process, ensuring a harmonious and positive experience for my young patients.
