Karat Dental Clinic is a private multi-specialty dental facility in Istanbul's Bahçelievler district. Established in 1954, it operates four specialized departments within a single building. The clinic handles everything from routine dentistry to complex oral and maxillofacial surgeries.
Accreditations and International Reach
The clinic holds JCI accreditation – the international gold standard for healthcare quality and patient safety. Specialists treat patients from the UK, USA, Germany, France, and beyond. The team speaks English, French, Arabic, German, Russian, and Turkish.
Dental Implants and Restoration
Karat Dental Clinic reports a 98.5% success rate for dental implant procedures. The team uses Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant systems. For patients with significant upper jaw bone loss, pterygoid implants achieve success rates above 95%.
The implant process follows a structured timeline:
- Initial bone assessment and 3D site preparation
- Precision osteotomy and implant placement
- Osseointegration healing period lasting 3–6 months
- Final restoration with custom-shaded crowns
Full-arch restorations use All-on-4 and All-on-6 protocols. Suitable candidates can receive temporary teeth the same day as surgery. Final prosthetics are made from E-max or Zirconia – materials that mimic natural enamel's light-transmitting properties.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Smile Makeovers
The clinic specializes in "Hollywood Smile" transformations using Digital Smile Design. This technology lets patients preview results before treatment begins. Restorations use zirconium crowns, which are stain-resistant and biocompatible.
Smile makeover options include:
- Zirconium crowns and bridges
- E-max and porcelain veneers
- Zirconium veneers for tooth shape correction
- Laser teeth whitening
Laser whitening sessions take about 15–30 minutes. A laser-activated gel brightens teeth in a single office visit. For zirconium restorations, the process includes shade selection and a mock-up trial fitting to confirm comfort.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
The surgical department treats diseases affecting facial and oral hard and soft tissues. This includes maxillofacial fractures, tumors, and salivary gland disorders. The team also performs orthognathic surgery to correct internal facial deformities.
Wisdom tooth removal is categorized by complexity:
- Simple extraction for fully visible teeth
- Surgical extraction for teeth trapped under the gum or bone
- Sectioning techniques to safely remove impacted teeth
Most patients return to normal routines within 3–5 days after extraction. The clinic provides detailed post-operative guidance to prevent complications like dry socket. Recovery support includes 24/7 assistance during the critical healing phase.
Advanced Dental Technology
Karat Dental Clinic uses CBCT technology for 3D mandible imaging and precise treatment planning. An in-house CAD/CAM lab produces crowns and veneers quickly. Surgeons rely on computer-guided systems for implant placement to increase accuracy.
Diagnostic tools available include:
- CEREC Omnicam for digital scanning
- Panoramic X-ray and orthopantomogram
- Periapical and targeted X-rays
- 3D digital diagnostic models
Hospital-grade sterilization rooms support this precision. The clinic uses ultrasonic baths and high-pressure autoclaving to maintain sterility. These protocols follow international infection prevention guidelines.
International Patient Services
The clinic offers an All-Inclusive VIP Experience for patients traveling to Istanbul. This includes luxury airport transfers and accommodation in the city center. Multilingual coordinators assist patients throughout their visit.
Consultations are available in-person and virtually. Patients can access free online consultations via WhatsApp to discuss treatment plans before traveling. This allows for personalized planning and shade selection from abroad.
