Written byDt. Berre Karaöz
Medically reviewed byDt. İzzet İlker AydoğanIn short
Named, registered dentists with verifiable credentials. See who reviews your X-ray and performs your treatment at our Istanbul clinic.
Key takeaways
- The "expert team" page is the most over-claimed and under-evidenced page on most dental tourism websites.
- This page is a living page.
- Many international clinics put a senior doctor's photo on the website and have a different clinician do the surgery.
Who you actually see
The "expert team" page is the most over-claimed and under-evidenced page on most dental tourism websites. We are working to make ours different, by naming the clinician who reviews your X-ray, naming the surgeon who places your implants, and listing credentials you can verify.
This page is a living page. Each profile below is the framework we use for our team, full clinician details and registration numbers are provided in your written treatment plan, and our team can introduce themselves to you directly in a video call during Step 3 of your journey.
Our principle
Many international clinics put a senior doctor's photo on the website and have a different clinician do the surgery. We do not do that. The doctor who reviews your X-ray, the doctor who quotes your case, and the doctor who performs your treatment are all named in your plan, and they are accountable for that case from intake to aftercare.
Where multiple specialists are involved (for example, an oral surgeon for implant placement and a prosthodontist for the final bridge), both are named, and the handoff is documented in your treatment summary.
What you will find in each doctor profile
When your plan is issued you will see, for each clinician on your case:
- Full name as registered with the Turkish Dental Association (TDA / TDB).
- TDA registration number: verifiable directly with the association.
- Degrees: DDS, plus PhD or specialty certificates where applicable.
- Specialty area: implant surgery, prosthodontics, periodontology, endodontics, orthodontics.
- Years in practice and approximate case volume in their area of focus.
- Society memberships: for example ITI (International Team for Implantology), ICOI, EAO, EAED, depending on specialty.
- Languages spoken in the clinic.
- Continuing education and recent training relevant to your case.
If any of this is missing from your plan, ask us. We will add it.

What we do — and what we refer
We do not pretend to do everything in-house. For specific advanced cases, for example, zygomatic implants in severely atrophic upper jaws, full general anaesthesia in medically compromised patients, or complex maxillofacial reconstruction, we refer to specialist partners in Istanbul. We tell you in writing if your case is in that category, and we coordinate the referral.
Languages spoken in the clinic
- English (all clinicians)
- Turkish (all clinicians)
- French (specific team members; matched to your case if you are arriving from France)
- Romanian (specific team members)
- Russian (specific team members)
- Arabic (specific team members)
Translation support is provided where direct language match is not available.
How we hire and verify our team
- TDA registration is mandatory and verified on hire.
- All clinicians complete continuing education annually.
- Surgical clinicians have documented case volume in their area of specialty.
- All clinicians are trained on our patient-communication protocol, including how to explain risks, write contraindications honestly, and refuse work when it is not clinically justified.
A note on credentials
The international dental tourism market has a credibility problem. We try to address it by being specific instead of impressive:
- "Experienced team" is not a credential. TDA registration number is.
- "Premium materials" is not a credential. Named implant brand and lot number on your implant passport is.
- "World-class" is not a credential. Society membership, peer-reviewed contributions, and documented case series are.
We prefer the second list. If a competitor's site only shows the first, ask them for the second.
Doctor credentials, in plain language
Every doctor on our roster is registered with the Türk Diş Hekimleri Birliği (TDA), which is the Turkish dental register and is publicly verifiable. Our implant surgeons hold International Team for Implantology (ITI) membership; ITI publishes the consensus statements that most national implantology curricula draw from. Where doctors have additional fellowships — for example ICOI or EAO — those appear on their individual profile. We mention this not as a wall of letters, but so you can verify any name on our team before you fly.
