Choosing Dr. Ertan Etemoglu guarantees that you are being treated by a dental veteran with 30 years of clinical experience. His most notable achievement is the successful completion of nearly 40,000 dental implant procedures. This extraordinary volume of cases means he has encountered and resolved almost every conceivable anatomical challenge, making him one of the safest and most reliable choices for complex implantology in Europe and Asia.
2. What specialized implant procedures does Dr. Etemoglu offer?
At Tower Dental Clinic, Dr. Etemoglu offers a comprehensive suite of implant treatments. These include traditional single-tooth implants, multiple teeth replacements, immediate implants (where the implant is placed immediately after a tooth extraction), and the highly sought-after All-On-4 dental implant system, which restores a full arch of teeth efficiently and aesthetically.
3. Is Tower Dental Clinic equipped to accommodate international patients traveling for dental tourism?
Yes, absolutely. Tower Dental Clinic is an international hub for dental tourism.

4. What exactly is a "Hollywood Smile" makeover?
A Hollywood Smile is a comprehensive aesthetic dentistry treatment tailored to give you a perfectly white, symmetrical, and visually stunning smile. Dr. Etemoglu utilizes Digital Smile Design technology to map your facial features, combining treatments such as dental veneers, crowns, gingival (gum) contouring, and teeth whitening to create a flawless result that complements your unique facial structure.
5. Can I get all my dental work done in a single trip?
In many cases, yes. Tower Dental Clinic provides "Same Day Dentistry" services for specific treatments, utilizing immediate implants and rapid digital prosthesis fabrication. While extensive full-mouth reconstructions like All-On-4 may require a specific healing timeline, the clinic works closely with international patients to optimize their travel schedule and minimize the number of visits required.
6. How does Dr. Etemoglu treat a "gummy smile"?
A gummy smile—where excessive gum tissue is exposed when smiling—is treated using minimally invasive cosmetic techniques. Depending on the patient's anatomy, Dr. Etemoglu may utilize Laser Dentistry to safely contour the gum line, administer specific Botox treatments to relax the upper lip, or use lip fillers designed to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing gum-to-tooth ratio.

8. Does Tower Dental Clinic offer alternatives to dental implants?
While Dr. Etemoglu is an expert in implants, the clinic provides a full spectrum of restorative options. Patients who are not candidates for implants can opt for high-quality Dental Bridges, as well as Partial and Complete Dentures. The team will perform a thorough consultation to recommend the most structurally sound and financially viable option for you.
9. Is laser dentistry safe, and what is it used for?
Laser dentistry is incredibly safe and offers numerous benefits over traditional surgical tools, including less bleeding, reduced swelling, and faster healing times. Dr. Etemoglu uses laser technology for precision gum reshaping (gingival aesthetics), periodontal disease treatments, and enhanced tissue management during complex cosmetic procedures.
10. How is patient comfort prioritized during extensive oral surgeries?
Dr. Ertan Etemoglu is widely noted for his meticulous and gentle approach to patient care. Understanding that dental anxiety is common, the clinic utilizes advanced local anesthetics and modern surgical techniques to ensure a pain-free experience.

Overall I have mixed feelings about my experience at the clinic. On the dentistry part, although my care is not finished yet, I can say its very professional and I believe I will be happy with the final result.
The clinic staff is very welcoming and kind.
But I wish the communication was better and also less waiting time.
I came for implants on a first visit, and then was supposed to get crowns on a second trip 3 months later. But instead, we are already doing the crowns now, which I found out the night before we started and I was not prepared to pay this much now.
I also struggled to eat as some of the temporary teeth did not hold long enough.
I understand the difficulty of working with people coming from abroad, speaking different languages, etc... But still I think communication and waiting time could be improved.
But I guess the most important part is the dentistry and so far so good on that point.

I'd give Tower Dental Clinic 15 stars if possible. Everything from the office,to the staff, to the dental work was perfect. I had 6 implants placed with zero pain. After the implants were placed I was text later that evening to ensure I understood the proper care instructions to prevent any complications. They helped make it a true dental vacation by providing excellent recommendations on places to visit as well as a driver to get to some of the locations. I truly hope this clinic get all the success they deserve.

This is one of my best experiences travelling overseas. Everything Vedat (the manager) promised me for the treatment (Dr Ertan is the best of all the dentists I dealt with so far) and accommodations turned out wonderful. Sedat (The driver) went above and beyond to make sure my stay was pleasant. I can’t wait to return back for the second phase of my treatment. This clinic is the best in turkey, in terms of treatment and accommodations. I recommend it to anybody a 100%. Thank you

I visited Istanbul in Dec 2020 during my time there I visited a few recommended dental practices in search of some help around an old snapped implant. Tower Dental was the only practice I visited that was both professional, personal, patient and honest. I have undergone multiple crown replacement, removal of broken implant and replacement with a new state of the art Swiss implant. Due to COVID and restrictions I have waited over 14 months to return and today have had my brand new teeth fitted and the results were well worth the wait. The team at Tower have done a fantastic job, the facilities are 5 star, they couldn’t have done anymore! From airport transfers, hotel reservations, site seeing recommendations and more! They really did go above and beyond I can highly recommend and want to say Thank You Tower Dental!

I have been so happy with my new smile
I have been a patient at Tower Dental Clinic for several years. As someone who is not a fan of the dentist. I can honestly say that the office staff and Dr. Etemoglu all are very professional, knowledgeable and welcoming. I had my last visit in May for Zirconia Crowns and I have been so happy with my new smile. Dr. Etemoglu performs EXCEPTIONAL work. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

It was quick and the results are fantastic
I visited Istanbul with my partner who was having surgery. I damaged an old implant over 20 years ago, I had two damaged front glass crowns and a snapped back mouler. Needless to say, it has caused me issues for years and only over curiosity I thought I would have a consultation. I used what clinic and had 2 clinics respond. I visited another well-established clinic but didn’t feel understood or that they wanted to help. Tower dental was my second clinic and they were fantastic from start to finish. Vedat the patient coordinator came and collected me, his brother completed the consultation and gave me a plan and price. I agreed and within 3 days I left Istanbul with a new set of teeth and full of confidence again! Tower dental has a personal touch and listen to what you want. It was quick and the results are fantastic. I need to return in 3 months once my new implant had fused and had my permanent new crowns fitted! Great team great results! See you in March x

I am very happy with the treatment and strongly recommend this clinic to anyone
I have been to Tower Dental for four implants and crowns. Bone graft was also necessary on my upper left jaw. From the start, I felt at ease because the office is very well managed with very high standards of professionalism and patient care at par with what I am used to in the US. Dr. Ertan was very thorough in his assessment of my dental needs and very clear regarding the procedure and the associated costs. I was impressed by the teamwork and coordination between Dr Ertan who placed the implants and his wife Dr Gamze who placed the crowns. The overall experience was extraordinary. Both my four-day visits were three months apart and I had the opportunity to enjoy spectacular Istanbul due to the proximity of the Clinic to most tourist attractions. All transfers between the hotel, clinic and airport went smoothly. I very happy with the treatment and strongly recommend this clinic to anyone who needs top dental services at a reasonable cost.
