The clinic

Europe's largest dental facility sits in Istanbul.

Lema Dental Clinic was founded in 2002 by Polen Akkılıç and has grown into an award winning institution across 4,000 m². Cosmetic work and complex surgery happen under one roof, with 3D printing, laser dentistry and an in-house laboratory.

The recognition came early. Best Dental & Aesthetic Clinic in 2021, Best Health Clinic of the Year in 2022, and Best Dental Clinic in Europe three years running.

Integrity, compassion and excellence are the values that guide our practice. Every patient should feel valued and supported through their whole dental journey. Polen Akkılıç · Founder & Chief Physician

Same processConsultation, digital design, fitting. The five steps below, exactly as everyone else goes through them.
Five steps to perfection

Every smile follows the same path.
No guesswork, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Initial consultation & guidance

    Every perfect smile begins with the right direction. Your dental health is examined in full and a personal treatment plan is built around what you actually need.

  2. 02

    Restorative preparation

    If decay or pain has already developed, treatment comes first. Root canals and any necessary preparation are done, so your teeth are healthy before the aesthetic work starts.

  3. 03

    Aesthetic design

    Here artistry meets precision. Shape, size and harmony of the teeth are analysed and balanced against your face, not against a template.

  4. 04

    Implant expertise

    For advanced implantology, gum and bone structure are evaluated carefully. Size and placement are planned for results that last and function properly.

  5. 05

    Final approval & perfection

    Excellence lies in the details. Everything is reviewed and approved together, function and aesthetics both, before you leave with the finished result.

Not sure which step you are at? We start with the first one.

Results

A Hollywood Smile should look like teeth. Not like a set of tiles.

In the laboratory Two floors below the treatment rooms, every crown and every veneer is finished by hand before it goes back up.
Our laboratory

The lab is in the building. That is why the wait is short.

Design, milling, layering and firing all happen in house. If a shade needs correcting, it goes back upstairs the same day instead of onto a courier.
