Soho Dental Clinic is a private dental facility in Istanbul's Nişantaşı neighborhood. Established in 2015, it operates from a single building with five specialized departments. The medical team treats international patients from various countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
Accreditations and Professional Background
The clinic holds JCI accreditation, a recognized standard for international healthcare quality. It also has the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Health. This confirms the facility follows official sterilization protocols and undergoes regular inspections.
The medical team includes four specialists with local and international training. Dr. Onur Utku Yuksel and Unur Utku both completed PhDs in Periodontology at Istanbul University. Other team members hold advanced degrees from the University of Rome and the Istituto Stomatologico Toscano. Several specialists have also trained with the Branemark Osseointegration Center.
Dental Implants and Oral Surgery
The clinic focuses on full-mouth rehabilitation and complex implant cases. Surgeons work with patients who have lost all teeth or have significant bone thinning. Key surgical procedures include:
- All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implant systems
- Zygomatic and pterygoid implants for severe upper jaw bone loss
- Immediate implant treatment for same-day placement after extraction
- Bone grafting and soft tissue regeneration
- Surgical tooth extractions
As an authorized Nobel Biocare provider, the clinic uses this system for its flagship implant restorations. Patients receive an implant passport for global traceability of the parts used.
Aesthetic Dentistry and Restoration
Aesthetic treatments use digital planning tools to show the final result before work begins. The clinic offers "Hollywood Smile" makeovers, typically involving 8–10 veneers on the upper arch. Patients can choose from several options:
- E-Max and full-ceramic crowns
- E-Max laminate veneers and porcelain veneers
- Inlay and onlay custom laboratory-made fillings
- Composite bonding and professional laser whitening
E-Max veneer packages typically require a single visit lasting 6–7 days. The clinic coordinates directly with its partner laboratory, where final restorations are made.
Diagnostic Technology and Safety
The facility uses digital diagnostic systems to plan surgical and aesthetic procedures. Treatment starts with 3D CBCT imaging to assess bone levels and pocket depths. Diagnostic tools include:
- Cerec Omnicam for digital scanning and diagnostic models
- Digital Smile Design software for aesthetic planning
- DIAGNOCam for laser-based cavity detection
- Florida Probe for precise gum tissue measurement
- Electronic axiography to analyze jaw movement
During surgery, clinicians use 3D-printed surgical templates for greater accuracy. The clinic maintains safety through B-Class autoclaves for sterilization and HVAC air purification throughout the building.
International Patient Services
The clinic offers a coordinated process for patients traveling from abroad. This begins with a free online consultation and a tailored treatment plan. Services for international visitors include:
- VIP airport and hotel transfers
- English-speaking patient consultants
- Remote follow-up appointments via video calls
- Written aftercare instructions and complete medical records
Multi-year warranties cover crowns, veneers, and dental implants. Patients also receive trial kits and medications – including painkillers and antibiotics – during their recovery in Istanbul.
