Special interest in periodontics and implantology

Dilek Guvenc is a highly experienced and well-qualified periodontist from Istanbul. She was attracted to dentistry from a very early age and has always been interested in aesthetics as well. It therefore came naturally to her , after completing her five-year degree in Dentistry at the University of Istanbul, to focus on periodontology for her PhD programme. She opted to focus her study and research in an area related to generalized aggressive periodontitis and cardiovascular disease for her doctorate thesis. During her PhD, she also conducted a great deal of clinical research regarding periodontology, some of which was published in SCI indexed journals. She was awarded a distinction for my dissertation thesis which she completed at Istanbul University- Faculty of Dentistry Department of Periodontology in 2010. Throughout the six years in the Periodontology department she provided treatments like advanced periodontal surgery, including muco-gingival , guided tissue regeneration procedures and implant treatment to patients of the university hospital. What is more, she has taught undergraduate students, presented lectures and worked as an Academic Fellow . Later went on to teach at Istanbul Aydın University and was made an Associate Professor in 2013. She chose to leave this role in order to focus on her private practice.

At the same time as pursuing her interest in research and teaching, she has been working in private practice, focusing on implantology, treatment of periodontal diseases, aesthetic dentistry, periodontal plastic surgery and bone regeneration. She also routinely carries out facial aesthetic procedures and skin rejuvenation in her own practice in Istanbul and Harley Street, London .

She has a strong belief that a discipline like dentistry requires lifelong education and a lot of dedication to reach ultimate success therefore every year she attends numerous international congresses, symposiums and courses, in some of which she also is a speaker.

She has never wanted to be anything other than a dentist, takes great pride in her work and tries to rise to every new challenge. She has a very friendly manner with patients and believes it is important that they trust her and they feel safe during their treatment.
