What our name means
"Beyaz Gülüş" is Turkish for "white smile". The name is a simple description of what most people want from a dentist: healthy teeth they are happy to show.
A white smile, to us, is not about the brightest possible shade. It is teeth that look natural for your face and age, gums that are healthy, and a bite that works comfortably for years.
Where we are
The clinic is on Kennedy Avenue (Kennedy Caddesi), the coastal road that runs along the Sea of Marmara on the European side of Istanbul. Our address is Kazlıçeşme Mah. Kennedy Cad. No:54/EA, Zeytinburnu. The historic peninsula around Sultanahmet and Sirkeci is roughly 8 km away, and the Marmaray suburban rail line stops nearby at Kazlıçeşme and Zeytinburnu. Our directions page explains the routes from both airports and the city centre.
The dentists you will meet
Our team is a mix of long-established dentists and younger colleagues with recent training. Each has areas they focus on, and a complex case can be discussed between colleagues.

How we work
Every course of treatment starts the same way: an examination and X-ray, both free of charge. We want to understand the whole mouth before discussing any single tooth, because a crown or veneer will only last if the gums, roots and bite around it are sound.
After the examination you receive a written treatment plan. It lists what we recommend, the reasons, the alternatives and the total cost. You are not obliged to start, and many patients take the plan away to think about or to show a family member.
We lean towards the conservative option. If whitening or bonding will give a good result, we will say so before suggesting veneers. If a tooth can be saved with root canal treatment, we discuss that before extraction. And if you ask about a treatment you don't actually need, we will tell you. Keeping healthy tooth structure is almost always the better long-term choice.
Local families and international patients
We look after many people who live in Istanbul, with check-ups, fillings, children's dentistry, gum care and the occasional emergency. Alongside them we see patients from abroad who come for implants, crowns, veneers or larger restorative work.
For those travelling, we arrange airport transfer, help with accommodation and make sure an English-speaking team member is available to answer questions. Our dental tourism guide explains how a trip is planned from the first photo you send us to aftercare at home.
