Professional Profile
Dt. Ufuk Ağdaşan is a dentist focused on aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry, implant-supported prosthetics and digital smile rehabilitation, and the Co-Founder, Clinical Director and Responsible Manager of Soho Dental Clinic – All-on-X & Dental Implant Center in Nişantaşı, Istanbul. He graduated from Gazi University Faculty of Dentistry in 2012 and has since built his practice around the prosthetic, aesthetic and digital completion of complex dental treatments.
He began his career in Ankara in his own private practice (September 2012 – December 2013), where he also cared for professional sports club players and staff, including Ankaraspor, Osmanlıspor and Keçiörengücü. He then completed his military service as a dental officer (December 2013 – December 2014), before continuing his clinical journey in Istanbul.
From December 2014 to 2021 he worked in private clinics and medical centers in Istanbul with a focus on aesthetic dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, implant-supported prosthetics, clear aligner treatments, full-mouth smile rehabilitation and international patient care. Between 2016 and 2017 he pursued postgraduate clinical education in Aesthetic & Cosmetic Dentistry at the University of Rome / Istituto Stomatologico Toscano in Italy, deepening his focus on contemporary aesthetic treatment concepts.
In 2021 he co-founded Soho Dental Clinic. His practice connects implant surgery with the patient's final smile — evaluating chewing comfort, speech, facial harmony and long-term function so that every treatment is completed in a way that looks natural, feels comfortable and lasts.

Clinical Philosophy
Every restoration should be aesthetic, functional, comfortable, maintainable and natural-looking over the long term. Dt. Ağdaşan treats each patient with empathy — planning every treatment as if he were the person sitting in the dental chair. This mindset shapes every decision, from material selection to the final shape of the smile.
In implant-supported treatments, he believes the final restoration is one of the most important parts of the entire experience. He evaluates function, bite, facial harmony, material selection, smile line, gum support and long-term maintenance together, and deliberately avoids artificial or uniform smiles in favour of results that suit each individual face and character.
Digital dentistry is central to his approach, allowing predictable planning and precise, consistent results. For international patients travelling to Istanbul, he places great importance on clear communication — so that every patient understands their treatment, their options and what is required for a lasting outcome.
