Meet the speaker

Koray qualified in 1989 from Guy’s Dental Hospital, winning the Final Year Prize for overall excellence and the S.J. Kaye Prize in Oral Medicine and Pathology. He remained at Guy’s for two separate House Surgeon appointments in Prosthetic Dentistry and Oral and Maxillofacial surgery until 1991 when he went into general practice in North London.

Between 1991 and 1993 he completed the Master of Science degree in Periodontology from Guy’s Hospital and at the end of 1993 passed examinations to obtain a Restorative Dentistry Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

He has since been in practice dedicated to quality dental care, having a special interest in multi-disciplinary cases that require detailed planning and co-ordination of several branches of dentistry. Between 1996 and 1999 he provided surgical services in periodontics and implant dentistry to three prestigious practices in the Knightsbridge and South Kensington areas and established his own practice in the West End of London from 1998.

In 2005 he founded The London Centre for Implant and Aesthetic Dentistry (LCIAD Ltd.) in Wimpole Street at the heart of London’s dental and medical community. He expanded LCIAD in October 2010 into new larger premises to establish a strong multi-disciplinary clinical team with in-depth experience in the management and care of patients with complex dental problems.

Koray is recognised amongst his peers as a trusted and highly competent clinician and for his successful multidisciplinary approach to dealing with complex cases requiring dedicated surgical and restorative branches of dentistry especially on cases with failed previous dental work.

Koray has undergone and continues to undergo extensive postgraduate education in several countries with world leaders in many fields of dentistry and dental technology as well as being a sought-after lecturer in his own right on topics including consent, financial and business aspects of the provision of quality dental healthcare in private practice including fee setting, consultation and treatment planning, occlusion, dental photography, surgical and restorative implant dentistry including guided surgery, all aspects of restorative dentistry, bone and tissue augmentation and sinus grafting.
