Education and Training

MSc. Dt. Ünal graduated from Dicle University Faculty of Dentistry in 2012. He began his professional career at Dentestetik Dental Clinic, continuing a family tradition in dentistry under the mentorship of his father.

Between 2016 and 2017, he completed a Master of Science program in Oral Implantology through the University of Rome / Istituto Stomatologico Toscano in Italy. His postgraduate education focused on oral implantology, implant surgery, treatment planning, and implant-supported rehabilitation.

His continuing professional development has also included digital implant planning, CBCT-guided assessment, intraoral scanning, zirconia restorations, ceramic implant systems, and CAD/CAM restorative workflows.

Professional Experience

MSc. Dt. Ünal began his clinical career at Dentestetik Dental Clinic in Osmaniye in 2012 and continued working within the Dentestetik clinical structure in Istanbul from 2013 onward.

During this period, his practice developed from general and restorative dentistry toward oral implantology, implant-supported prosthetics, zirconia restorations, full-mouth rehabilitation, and long-term restorative planning. Since 2013, he has also worked extensively with international patients travelling to Turkey for implant treatment and comprehensive dental rehabilitation.

In 2021, he co-founded Soho Dental Clinic with Dr. Dt. Onur Utku Yüksel and Dt. Ufuk Ağdaşan. At Soho Dental Clinic, he is actively involved in diagnosis, implant surgery, full-mouth treatment planning, implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation, final restorations, occlusion planning, and long-term clinical follow-up.

His work is especially relevant for patients with missing teeth, terminal dentition, old or failing restorations, previous unsuccessful dental treatment, reduced chewing function, or a need for stable fixed implant-supported teeth.

His professional responsibilities include planning and performing dental implant surgery; managing All-on-X, All-on-4, and All-on-6 cases; designing implant-supported fixed restorations; coordinating surgical, prosthetic, functional, and aesthetic treatment goals; evaluating zirconia and ceramic implant options when clinically appropriate; and using digital systems such as CBCT planning, intraoral scanning, digital smile design, 3Shape, Exocad, and CAD/CAM restorative workflows.

He also explains treatment alternatives, risks, limitations, timelines, and realistic outcomes clearly to international patients.

Treatment Approach

MSc. Dt. Ünal’s clinical philosophy is based on a simple principle: every patient and every case is unique. Treatment planning should begin with identifying the real clinical problem, protecting the patient’s existing oral health, and preserving natural teeth whenever possible.

He does not support reducing healthy teeth or recommending unnecessary procedures simply because a cosmetic treatment is popular.

In full-mouth implant rehabilitation, he evaluates implant position, bone structure, prosthetic design, bite relationship, chewing function, speech, facial support, restorative materials, hygiene access, and long-term maintenance together.

Digital planning is used when appropriate to help visualize the treatment, coordinate the surgical and restorative stages, and communicate the expected process more clearly with the patient.

For international patients travelling to Istanbul, his approach emphasizes ethical treatment planning, patient safety, clear communication, realistic expectations, and long-term stability. Patients should understand why a treatment is recommended, what alternatives are available, what should be avoided, and what is required to maintain the result.

For MSc. Dt. Ünal, dentistry is not about performing more procedures; it is about solving the right problem with the right treatment.
