About

Dr. Emre Kaya founded Looma Dent with a simple idea: every patient should be looked after by one specialist, from the first scan to the final fitting. Over eighteen years he has focused almost entirely on implant surgery, with a particular interest in patients who have been told they don't have enough bone for implants.

He trained in Istanbul and completed his implantology fellowship in New York, and he still spends part of every year teaching guided surgery to other dentists. At Looma Dent he leads the implant team and personally plans every full-arch case.

The best implant is the one you forget you have. That starts with planning, not with surgery.
