DentSpa’s clinical leadership joined dental professionals from across EMEA in Copenhagen this November as Dr Serdar Yılmaz, Head of Dental Surgery, attended the Straumann Group Enterprise Solutions Clinical Directors Summit.

Held on 4–5 November 2026 at the Comwell Copenhagen Portside under the theme “The Power of the Network”, the summit brought together senior clinical leaders to discuss how innovation, digital dentistry, advanced workflows and clinical leadership are shaping the future of dental care. Beyond networking, the event focused on the exchange of clinical experience, emerging technologies and practical approaches to raising standards across modern dental organisations.

  • Artificial intelligence and data: AI in dentistry, including its role in computer-assisted implant surgery.
  • Smarter workflows: how digital tools can improve precision and expand treatment possibilities.

For DentSpa, participation provides an opportunity for its surgical leadership to engage directly with the wider Straumann Group Enterprise Solutions clinical community and exchange perspectives with clinical leaders from other markets.

“Meeting clinical leaders from other markets gave us the chance to compare how we approach complex implant cases and how clinical protocols can keep improving,” said Dr Yılmaz.

Implant treatment at DentSpa

Dental implant treatment begins with an assessment of the patient’s findings and aims. DentSpa’s tooth implant treatment service explains the treatment offered, while its article on oral surgery in Turkey provides further context about the surgical field.

The free consultation starts with the clinical findings and what the patient wants to achieve. A dentist explains the reasons for recommending one approach and why another may not be suitable, using the patient’s language. The treatment plan, materials and level of care are determined by the clinical findings and follow the same standard regardless of the size of the case.
