Our Story
On Bağdat Avenue since 2013
From a single-chair practice to a three-dentist smile design studio.
Nova Dent Studio
Listen first, then design
When Dr. Elif Sarıkaya opened a single-chair practice in Caddebostan in 2013, she had one guiding principle: listen first, then design. Believing that every smile belongs to a face, and every face carries a story, she rooted a style of dentistry on this avenue that never reaches for the drill before getting to know the patient.
In 2017 we invested in first-generation 3D intraoral scanners and removed impression material from our studio entirely. In 2021 we took over the upper floor and built our design studio; today, with three dentists and a clinical team of five, we welcome our patients as guests.
