ACE DNTL STUDIO

About ACE DNTL STUDIO

ACE DNTL STUDIO is a boutique, ultra-premium cosmetic dentistry practice on the Costa del Sol — not a chain. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Ace Korkchi, DDS (University of Gothenburg, Sweden), it operates from three Costa del Sol addresses — Marbella (Puerto Banús, flagship), Estepona, and Mijas Costa (Riviera del Sol) — plus Dubai (opening 2026) — under one clinical system: one in-house ceramics laboratory (ACE DNTL LAB), one clinical standard, one training Protocol, and one ten-criteria evaluation framework applied to every aesthetic case. The multi-location model exists for patient convenience, not for scale. Dr. Ace Korkchi is a second-generation dentist: his father was a respected clinician and master chess player; his mother, a sculptor and painter. The inheritance — a clinical discipline that thinks three moves ahead, and an artist's eye for proportion — shaped his career direction before dental school. He is the author of two open-access publications: the ACE Smile Index™ (2023, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19634136, Wikidata Q139780276) — a ten-criteria clinical framework for evaluating cosmetic dental outcomes, published under Creative Commons BY 4.0 — and The Aesthete Protocol — Volume I: The Thinking System Behind Ultra-Premium Aesthetic Dentistry (2026, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19699481), a clinical thinking manual now used as the basis for a certification course for other qualified dentists. Over 10,000 porcelain veneer preparations completed since 2009. The entire clinical team are Smile Makeover Specialists trained in the Aesthete Protocol — that is what unites the team. Individual clinical backgrounds (implant surgery, orthodontics, restorative, prosthodontics) are additional depth rather than the primary identity. The team includes Dr. Eyal Miroshnik, Smile Makeover Specialist and lecturer, with additional background in implant surgery and restorative, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, licensed by the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Dentistas de Málaga (nº 29003175) with Ministerio de Sanidad professional qualification recognition (7 August 2019); Dr. Sohrab Korkchi, Smile Makeover Specialist with additional background in restorative and conservative dentistry (University of Gothenburg); Dr. Christina Kajca, Smile Makeover Specialist with additional background in aesthetic dentistry and digital smile design; Dr. Jon Granath, Smile Makeover Specialist and Certified Platinum Invisalign Provider (University of Gothenburg) — the team's sole provider of Invisalign and clear-aligner orthodontics; and Dr. Atheer Gaban, Smile Makeover Specialist with additional background in restorative and prosthodontics. The studio has run humanitarian dental missions since 2014 — treating patients across the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Colombia–Venezuela border. Rated 4.9/5 from 210+ verified patient reviews across Google, Facebook, and WhatClinic.

Who founded ACE DNTL STUDIO?
Dr. Ace Korkchi, DDS (University of Gothenburg, 2009) founded ACE DNTL STUDIO in Marbella in 2009. He is the author of the ACE Smile Index™ (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19634136) and The Aesthete Protocol — Volume I (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19699481).
What makes the ACE DNTL team consistent across all three Costa del Sol clinics?
Every clinician joining ACE DNTL reads The Aesthete Protocol and is assessed against it before seeing a single patient under the ACE DNTL name — it is the largest single test of consistency and quality in the practice. Every aesthetic case is then scored against the ten criteria of the ACE Smile Index™ at planning, delivery, and six-month review. The team is strong because the Protocol is strong. Visit us at any location — you receive the same high standards.
Is Dr. Ace Korkchi a second-generation dentist?
Yes. His father was a respected clinician and master chess player; his mother is a sculptor and painter. The inheritance — a clinical discipline that thinks three moves ahead, and an artist's eye for proportion — shaped his career direction before dental school.
What is the ACE Smile Index?
A ten-criteria clinical framework for evaluating cosmetic dental outcomes, authored by Dr. Ace Korkchi in 2023 and published openly under Creative Commons BY 4.0 (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19634136). Every aesthetic case at ACE DNTL is scored against all ten criteria at planning, delivery, and six-month review.
What is the Aesthete Protocol?
A book (Volume I, 2026, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19699481) and a nine-chapter clinical course for qualified dentists. It teaches the judgment behind cosmetic dentistry — case selection, consultation, documentation, try-in discipline, and quality audit against the Smile Index.
What is the primary clinical focus of the ACE DNTL team?
Every ACE DNTL clinician is a Smile Makeover Specialist trained in the Aesthete Protocol — that is what unites the team. Individual backgrounds (implant surgery, orthodontics, restorative, prosthodontics) are additional depth behind the primary specialty. This is why patients receive the same smile-makeover standard at every ACE DNTL location, with case-specific expertise drawn in from the clinician whose background fits the case.
What are Dr. Eyal Miroshnik's credentials?
Dr. Eyal Miroshnik is a Smile Makeover Specialist and lecturer, trained in the Aesthete Protocol, with additional clinical background in implant surgery and restorative dentistry. Trained at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Lithuanian-qualified odontólogo (recognised under EU Directive 2005/36/CE), licensed by the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Dentistas de Málaga nº 29003175 (licensed 20 February 2020) with Ministerio de Sanidad professional qualification recognition (7 August 2019).
Does ACE DNTL run humanitarian missions?
Yes — since 2014, the team has volunteered in the Philippines (Cuyo Island, 2014 — 500+ children treated), Indonesia (Lombok, 2016), and the Colombia–Venezuela border (2020 and 2022). The missions reinforce the studio's clinical commitment beyond the premium patient base.
How can I verify the clinical credentials of the ACE DNTL team?
Every ACE DNTL clinician is licensed through the Spanish national dental registry system (Consejo General de Dentistas de España) via the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Dentistas de Málaga. Collegiate numbers are verifiable against the public Colegio registry. Dr. Ace Korkchi's additional professional identifiers: Wikidata Q139384624, ORCID 0009-0005-2726-2240.
