Polen Akkılıç

Dr. Polen Akkılıç’s work at Lema Dental Clinic in Istanbul centers on implant dentistry for patients with challenging anatomy, including protocols that place implants through the nasal cavity or the sinus wall. She is listed as a founder and chief physician of the clinic, and Lema materials attribute medical content on implant topics to her. In trans-nasal and trans-sinus implant education, the clinic describes these as solutions that can avoid long bone grafts and sinus lifting in selected cases, with the goal of restoring both function and smile aesthetics.

Her role is also connected to broader full-arch and restorative pathways referenced in clinic materials. Procedures and treatment elements described alongside her include pterygoid implant procedures performed by the Lema team, as well as All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant prosthetic concepts. For patients who need both function and aesthetics, Lema materials also include laminate veneers, gum shaping via gingivectomy, dental prosthetics, and smile makeover planning.

When teeth require preservation before or alongside prosthetic work, her listed scope includes root canal treatment. The clinic’s content also references dental implant surgery more generally, as well as procedures such as dental implant placement without screws and dental implant work that supports crowns and bridges.
