About Prof. Dr. Ahmet Yılmaz
Prof. Dr. Ahmet Yılmaz is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and the head of the Implant Centre at Acıbadem Maslak Hospital in Istanbul. He has worked in implant surgery for 24 years. Most of his patients need dental implants, fixed full-arch teeth, or bone grafting before implants.
Clinical focus
His daily work covers single and multiple dental implants, fixed teeth on four or six implants, sinus lifting and bone grafting.
He also treats patients who do not have enough jawbone for standard implants. In these cases he first rebuilds the bone, then places the implants.
How he plans a treatment
Every case starts with a 3D scan of the jaw. The position, length and angle of each implant are planned on the scan before surgery. In full-arch cases the temporary teeth are prepared in advance, so they can be fitted on the day of surgery.
Most operations are done under local anaesthesia. Sedation is available for longer operations and for anxious patients.
Education and teaching
He graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at Istanbul University in 2002 and completed his PhD in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Marmara University in 2008. In 2010 he completed a fellowship in implant surgery at the University of Bern in Switzerland.
He has been a professor at Acıbadem University since 2019. He teaches implant surgery to dental students and to surgeons in specialty training.
Research
His research deals with implants placed in grafted bone, fixed full-arch teeth fitted on the day of surgery, and guided implant surgery. He is a Fellow of the International Team for Implantology (ITI).
International patients
He consults in English and German. Before you travel, you can send your X-ray or scan and receive a written treatment plan. Interpreters for other languages are arranged by the international patient office of the hospital.
