Ali İlker Baştan

With full-arch implant planning supported by CT evaluation, Ali İlker Baştan’s approach is built around imaging that clarifies what can be safely achieved. He works as a specialist at Dera Dental Clinic in Istanbul, where he founded the clinic in 2021 and treats patients who need implant-based rehabilitation and oral surgery. Across his training and practice, the emphasis is on implant dentistry and maxillofacial surgical skills, including laser dentistry for targeted dental procedures.

In the clinic’s treatment planning, full-arch implant options such as All-on-4 and All-on-6 are presented as practical pathways for restoring chewing function and aesthetics, with guidance on when advanced procedures like sinus lift are typically not required for the All-on-4 concept. His work also covers implant types such as zygomatic implants and subperiosteal implants, as well as restorations including zirconia crowns, laminate veneers, and composite bonding. For patients who need both function and appearance, the clinic’s workflow includes smile design steps such as a mock-up phase before laminate veneers.
