BIOGRAPHY

Dt. Hakan Kaval is one of the two founders of Mosdent. He graduated from Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry in 1991 and, one year later, established Mosdent in Bahçelievler together with Dr. Ömer Faruk Şarkbay.

Born in Istanbul in 1968, he completed his primary and middle school education at Kültür College and his secondary education at Bahçelievler High School. After graduating he worked as a research assistant in the Endodontics department of Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry in 1991-1992, then continued his career in Bahçelievler.

Across thirty-four years of clinical practice, he has specialised in implantology, aesthetic dentistry and full-mouth rehabilitation. His treatment philosophy is personalised: each guest's lifestyle, age and facial proportions inform the starting point of every plan.

He deepened his implantology training early on with the Ankylos implantology certificate he earned in 1996, and has kept up his professional development through regular participation in international congresses, making continuing education a defining part of Mosdent's institutional culture.

// IN THEIR OWN WORDS

THE INTERVIEW

Frequently asked

Will there be pain during my treatment?

You can be sure that I will do everything I can so that you feel little or no pain during the procedures I perform.

Common misconception

Tooth or gum problems clear up completely with antibiotics

Infection-related tooth and gum problems do not fully heal until the cause of the infection (an infected pulp, tartar and so on) has been removed.

Case

A patient too afraid even to be examined

One of my patients was so afraid of treatment that an examination was not even possible. I patiently completed the treatments and helped that fear come to an end; the case was finished with a fixed implant-supported prosthesis.

Case

A treatment we could not start because of a gag reflex

A patient with a gag reflex could not start treatment. By earning the patient's trust and showing that a gag reflex is not an unchangeable personal trait, I kept the time instruments spend in the mouth to a minimum and completed the treatment. In the end my patient gained both health and self-confidence.

Where I say no

When I advise against a treatment

Yes, it has happened. When an extraction has been wrongly indicated, I steer my patients toward the right treatment so they do not lose their teeth; most of the time that is a properly performed root canal.

And I do not recommend aesthetic prosthetic work to patients, especially young ones, who want beautiful teeth as quickly as possible while skipping the orthodontic treatment they actually need.

IN THEIR OWN HAND

“For me the real aim of treatment is to benefit my patient; that benefit may be health-related, economic, aesthetic or psychological.”

Dr Hakan Kaval

Counterfeit Dental Implants:What Is Documented, and How to Verify Yours

Counterfeit dental devices are real and seized by the crateload; published cases of counterfeit implant fixtures reaching patients are another matter, and the difference is worth stating precisely. What enforcement data and laboratory studies actually document, why counterfeit, clone and grey-market are three different problems, and the verification chain that answers the question for your own implant, in any clinic, in any country.

The Dental Implant Passport:How to Verify Yours, Step by Step _(title alanına `The Dental Implant Passport: `, titleAccent alanına `How to Verify Yours, Step by Step`; sondaki boşluk kalıp gereği korunur.)_

An implant passport is not a courtesy leaflet. Under EU device law the card is an obligation, its fields are standardised, and it is the one document that makes your implant serviceable and your warranty claimable years later. What the card must contain, how to check each entry before you leave the clinic, and what to do if you were never given one.

Dental Implant Warranties Across Borders:What Actually Travels With You

Every clinic page says lifetime warranty. The manufacturers' own terms say something narrower: replacement of the component, claimed by the dentist, within a deadline, on conditions that travel poorly. What six implant manufacturers' published warranty documents actually promise, what none of them covers, and the three things to get in writing before treatment abroad.
