DRTU — the Istanbul practice of Dr. Tansu Uzel — occupies a distinctive position in Istanbul's dental landscape: it is one of the few clinics where a specialist in oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgery leads both the surgical and aesthetic work under one roof. This dual expertise means that when a patient needs implants, bone augmentation, or gum surgery as the foundation for a smile redesign, the surgical foundation and aesthetic outcome are conceived together from the outset — not retrofitted by different hands at different stages.
Dr. Uzel's background in maxillofacial surgery gives the clinic a capability range that extends well beyond conventional cosmetic dentistry. Treatments include dental implants with bone grafting when required, Hollywood Smile design, laminate veneers, zirconia and E.max ceramic restorations, gum aesthetics and contouring, teeth whitening, orthodontic treatments, non-surgical facial rejuvenation, and bichectomy. For patients with complex anatomy or previous implant difficulties, the clinic's surgical depth provides a level of confidence rarely available from a purely cosmetic practice.
The DRTU clinic holds the International Health Tourism Competency Certificate issued by the Turkish Ministry of Health — a rigorous accreditation confirming that the clinic meets the highest standards for international patient safety, quality management, and cross-border healthcare. This certification is not cosmetic: it reflects genuine compliance with documented clinical protocols and patient safeguarding practices.
Thousands of patients have travelled to DRTU from across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Africa, drawn by Dr. Uzel's reputation for combining surgical rigour with artistically sensitive aesthetic results. The clinic's Beyoglu location, in the cultural and social heart of Istanbul, makes it easy for international patients to combine treatment with exploration of one of the world's great cities.
Each patient's journey at DRTU begins with a comprehensive digital assessment, incorporating 3D imaging and smile design simulation, so that patients can preview their planned result before treatment begins. This transparency builds confidence and ensures that the final outcome aligns precisely with the patient's vision.
For patients who require more than cosmetic dentistry — those facing complex implant scenarios, significant bone loss, or the desire for a complete aesthetic transformation backed by surgical expertise — DRTU stands as one of Istanbul's most capable and accredited choices.
