I was in Turkey for only a few days on vacation, and Doctor Mert was able to receive me in the shortest possible time, without sacrificing the quality of service. The prices turned out to be the most competitive among all the clinics I contacted. They put patient well-being above profit.
The quality of medical care is at the highest level. Highly recommend!

Doctor Mert Akbas is a leading dentist and maxillofacial surgeon in Istanbul with extensive clinical experience. He specializes in complex dental implantology, including sinus lift procedures and zygomatic (Zygoma) implants for patients with severe bone atrophy.
The doctor performs the full range of maxillofacial surgery — from removal of impacted teeth and surgical treatment of cysts and tumors of the jaws to corrective osteotomies for bite anomalies and reconstructive interventions on the facial skeleton. He successfully combines surgical work with aesthetic dentistry: smile design, all-ceramic restorations, veneers, and digital prosthetics.
Dr. Mert Akbas applies modern protocols based on 3D diagnostics (CBCT) and computer-guided surgery, which makes implantation as predictable and minimally traumatic as possible. He pays special attention to All-on-4 / All-on-6 full-arch rehabilitation in cases of complete edentulism.
He has completed training and clinical internships at leading European and Turkish maxillofacial surgery centers, is an active member of professional dental and maxillofacial associations, and regularly participates in international congresses and hands-on courses on implantology and oral surgery.
Patients choose Dr. Mert Akbas for his individualized treatment planning, careful attitude to soft and hard tissues, and stable long-term aesthetic and functional results.
