Uzm. Dt. Akın Özdemir

Specialist Implantology and Periodontology

Born in Istanbul in 1997, I graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at Ankara University in 2020. Following my undergraduate education, I completed my specialization training at the Department of Periodontology, Marmara University, between 2021 and 2025, during which I conducted clinical work focused on periodontology and implantology.

Throughout my specialization training, I gained extensive clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of gingival diseases, regenerative and resective periodontal surgeries, mucogingival surgical techniques, implant-supported treatment planning, and the management of cases requiring a multidisciplinary approach.

In addition to my academic work, I expanded my practical experience between 2022 and 2025 by working at various private clinics in Istanbul, treating a diverse range of patient profiles and clinical scenarios. Since 2026, I have been providing clinical care focused on periodontology and implantology at Dinçalya Smile.

In my professional practice, I embrace an approach centered on evidence-based dentistry, patient safety, and patient satisfaction. My good command of English allows me to communicate effectively with international patients as well.
