Elitdent Dental Clinic occupies a distinctive position in Istanbul's dental landscape: a boutique specialist practice conveniently situated close to Sabiha Gökçen International Airport on the city's Asian side, making it an especially practical first stop for international patients flying in for treatment.
The clinic was co-founded by Dr. Esra Kaya and Dr. Esra Arpacı, two experienced dentists who built Elitdent around a shared vision — delivering implantology and cosmetic dentistry results that rival any European or American practice, while removing the financial barriers that prevent patients from accessing that standard of care at home.
Elitdent's treatment portfolio centres on dental implants and aesthetic smile transformations. The clinic works with state-of-the-art implant systems and uses a digital intraoral scanner for precise implant planning, veneer impressions, and smile design — eliminating traditional messy impression trays and improving accuracy at every stage. Cosmetic services include porcelain laminate veneers, zirconia crowns, composite bonding, and professional teeth whitening via the GBT-Airflow system, which combines guided biofilm therapy with targeted polishing for exceptional cleaning results.
One aspect that sets Elitdent apart from most dental clinics in Istanbul is its access to a fully equipped operating room within two partner private hospitals. This infrastructure allows the clinic to offer dental treatment under general anaesthesia — a significant benefit for patients with severe dental phobia, strong gag reflexes, or physical disabilities who might otherwise be unable to access care. The Biolase dental laser integrated into the clinic's workflow further expands treatment precision, enabling minimally invasive soft-tissue procedures with reduced healing times.
International patients begin their journey with a free online consultation — submitting panoramic X-rays and smile photographs to receive a personalised treatment and payment plan before booking flights. This transparent pre-visit process means patients arrive informed, with realistic expectations and a clear financial picture.
The founding team communicates in Turkish and English, and the clinic's location near Sabiha Gökçen means patients can move directly from arrivals to their first appointment without the lengthy cross-city transfers common with clinics based solely in the European quarter of Istanbul.
For patients who value specialist expertise, advanced technology, and the option of sedation or general anaesthesia, Elitdent Dental Clinic offers a reassuringly thorough approach to dental care in Istanbul.
