Our top pick: Dt. Hüseyin Yavuz Özbek, Precious Dental, Antalya. His own field is implant surgery and prosthetics; the reasons we put him first are in his entry below. Precious Dental publishes this guide. Disclosure →
The Turkish speciality is Ağız, Diş ve Çene Cerrahisi. These surgeons remove impacted wisdom teeth, treat jaw problems, place bone grafts and sinus lifts, and place implants where the bone is thin or soft.
You may not need one: many implant cases are straightforward. But if your X-ray shows little bone, or you have been told you need a graft, ask whether a surgeon will do that part.
