About Dr. Can Tokman
Dr. Can Tokman is the aesthetic dentistry lead working with Genç Dental — a long-standing collaboration that pairs his cosmetic craft with our clinic’s implant and surgical work. With 35+ years in practice, he brings the kind of hands-on pattern recognition that only comes from decades of delivering smile design, veneer work and full aesthetic restorations.
He qualified in 1990 from Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry in Ankara — one of Turkey’s most competitive dental schools, consistently ranked among the country’s top faculties for clinical training. Before dentistry, he was educated at TED Ankara College, a private school with a strong academic record and English-language instruction that gave him the foundation to communicate with international patients from the start of his career.
In 2014 he founded Istanbul Dental Clinics, a cosmetic-focused practice that has treated patients from across Europe, the Middle East and the UK. The collaboration with Genç Dental grew out of shared clinical standards — same materials, same craftsmanship, same refusal to cut corners on the details that actually shape how a smile ages over time. For UK patients booking full-arch implant work, this means the surgery and the aesthetics are handled by specialists who actually talk to each other about your case.
What UK patients notice most is the eye. Tokman treats each case the way a portrait painter treats a face — proportion, colour, the small asymmetries that make a smile look lived-in rather than installed. Zirconia crowns that catch light the way natural enamel does. Bridge shades matched to the patient’s complexion, not to a universal white. The kind of detail that separates a good aesthetic result from a smile that quietly passes for your own.
Outside clinical hours, he spends time on medieval history and sails the Mediterranean through the Turkish summer.
