Why Patients Choose Sengel Clinics

Founded by Dr. Yusuf Oğuz Şengel, the group operates modern clinics—most notably its Bomonti–Şişli hub—equipped with digital radiography, panoramic X-ray, intraoral scanning and laser systems. Hours are traveler-friendly: Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00; Saturday to Sunday 10:00–17:00.

What Stands Out

• All-on-X full-arch solutions, single or multiple dental implants, and implant crowns or bridges
• Smile makeovers with zirconia and e.max® or porcelain crowns and veneers, plus composite bonding
• Oral and maxillofacial surgery, sinus lift and bone grafting on a case-by-case basis
• Family dentistry, including pediatric care, orthodontics with braces or aligners, hygiene and whitening
• VIP transfers and trip support for dental tourists upon request

Team Snapshot

• Dr. Yusuf Oğuz Şengel: Founder, with a focus on oral surgery and comprehensive implant care.
• Dr. İdil Göçtü: Focuses on prosthetic and aesthetic dentistry, including crowns, veneers and smile design.
• Wider clinical team: A multidisciplinary team covers endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, pediatric care, sedation and radiology, so most treatments can be coordinated under one roof.

Locations & How to Get There

Primary branch: Bomonti–Şişli, Duatepe Mah., İncirli Dede Cd. 9/A. A second branch is listed in Bahçelievler at Kadir Has AVM, Ressam Halim Sk.

Airports

• Istanbul Airport (IST): Located on the European side. Travel to Şişli typically takes about 35–55 minutes by taxi, depending on traffic.
• Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW): Located on the Asian side. Travel to Şişli typically takes about 55–80 minutes by taxi.

Getting Around

• Airport coaches: HAVAIST from Istanbul Airport and HAVAŞ from Sabiha Gökçen Airport connect to central hubs, followed by a short taxi ride.
• Apps and taxis: Uber, which works as taxi booking via app, and BiTaksi are widely used; licensed yellow taxis are plentiful.
• Metro and Metrobus: For Şişli/Bomonti, the M2 line via Osmanbey or Şişli plus a brief taxi or walk often works best. Metrobus and metro options serve Bahçelievler.
