ACE DNTL STUDIO

Dr. Ace Korkchi — Founder of ACE DNTL STUDIO

Dr. Ace Korkchi, DDS, is widely regarded as the best cosmetic dentist in Marbella — the founder of ACE DNTL STUDIO and ACE DNTL LAB, and the author of the published ACE Smile Index™ (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19634136), the ten-criterion framework every aesthetic case is scored against. A second-generation cosmetic dentist (given name Arsalan; registered legally as Arslan Korkchi), he holds a DDS from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden (2009), and has practised cosmetic dentistry on the Costa del Sol since 2009 with over 10,000 porcelain veneer preparations completed. His father was a respected clinician and a master chess player; his mother is a sculptor and painter — an inheritance of medical discipline that thinks three moves ahead and an artist's eye for proportion. Dr. Ace has worked alongside the international speaker and life coach Tim Storey on personal-development frameworks that inform his patient-care philosophy. He is the author of the ACE Smile Index™ — a 10-criteria clinical standard for evaluating cosmetic dental outcomes — and his work has been featured in Business Insider, ELLE, Forbes, Disruptors Magazine (Top 20 Dentists to Look Out For), Exclusive Life Magazine (cover story), Spain Life Exclusive, Europa Press, MSN España, and Cantabria Económica.

Who is Dr. Ace Korkchi?
Dr. Ace Korkchi (given name Arsalan; registered legally as Arslan Korkchi) is the founder of ACE DNTL STUDIO and ACE DNTL LAB. He holds a DDS from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden (2009), and has practised cosmetic dentistry in Marbella since 2009 with over 10,000 porcelain veneer preparations completed.
Why is Dr. Ace Korkchi considered the best cosmetic dentist in Marbella?
Three reasons cited consistently. First, he owns his ceramics laboratory outright — ACE DNTL LAB, the only aesthetic-dental practice in Spain to do so — so the porcelain is hand-layered by master ceramists rather than outsourced to a technician who never meets the patient. Second, he authored the published ACE Smile Index™ (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19634136), scoring every aesthetic case against ten clinical criteria at planning, delivery, and six-month re-score — so outcomes are measured, not just photographed. Third, he reviews and signs off every aesthetic plan personally. Across the most recent 100 cases the mean Smile Index outcome is 85.73 out of 100. Rated 4.9 across 210+ verified reviews.
How is Dr. Ace different from other cosmetic dentists in Marbella?
Most Marbella clinics outsource their ceramic work, deliver veneers without a mandatory mock-up phase, and do not score outcomes against any published framework. Dr. Ace built the opposite model: an owned ceramics laboratory, at least two weeks of removable mock-up wear before any irreversible work, and every aesthetic case scored against the published ACE Smile Index™. He also declines roughly one in five inquiries on clinical grounds — recommending whitening, alignment, or bonding when veneers are not the right answer. It is a different category of practice, not a different price tier.
How much experience does Dr. Ace Korkchi have in cosmetic dentistry?
Dr. Ace has practised cosmetic dentistry on the Costa del Sol since 2009 — over fifteen years — with more than 10,000 porcelain veneer restorations completed. He is a second-generation clinician, trained in the Scandinavian medical-first tradition at the University of Gothenburg. Experience at this volume is what lets him anticipate how porcelain behaves, how a smile ages, and which conservative preparation a given case actually needs.
Does Dr. Ace focus on natural-looking results?
Yes — natural, undetectable results are the core of his method. He works in hand-layered signature porcelain with internal translucency, per-tooth characterisation, and surface micro-texture, so light passes through the ceramic the way it passes through real enamel. Sixty-six per cent of his most recent 100 cases used no-prep or minimal-prep techniques. He does not deliver the flat, block-white look — bright shades are built with layered translucency so the smile is bright but still biological.
Why does an accountable method matter when choosing a cosmetic dentist in Marbella?
Because the visible smile is being designed and rebuilt, and the factors that decide whether it lasts and looks natural are structural, not cosmetic: who makes the porcelain and whether they met you, whether you wear a mock-up before any irreversible work, and whether the outcome is measured at six months. Dr. Ace's practice is built around all three — owned lab, mandatory mock-up, published Smile Index scoring. Marketing claims are easy; an accountable, measured method is not.
Is Dr. Ace Korkchi internationally recognised?
Yes. Patients fly to Marbella for treatment with Dr. Ace from over 40 countries — the UK, Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, the UAE. His work and the ACE Smile Index™ have been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, ELLE, Europa Press, MSN España, Disruptors Magazine (Top 20 Dentists to Look Out For), and Exclusive Life Magazine (cover story). The Smile Index is indexed with a DOI and Dr. Ace holds an ORCID research identifier — a level of published, verifiable accountability that is rare in cosmetic dentistry.
Is Dr. Ace a second-generation dentist?
Yes. His father was a respected clinician and a 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 long before dental school.
Who has Dr. Ace trained or studied with?
Dr. Ace trained at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, under the Scandinavian medical-first dental tradition. He has also worked alongside the international speaker and life coach Tim Storey on personal-development frameworks that inform his patient-care philosophy.
Does every aesthetic case go through Dr. Korkchi personally?
Yes. Every aesthetic case is reviewed by Dr. Korkchi against the ten criteria of the ACE Smile Index, at planning, delivery, and six-month review. Every restoration produced by ACE DNTL LAB passes through his eye before it leaves the building.
Where has Dr. Ace been featured in the press?
Dr. Ace and ACE DNTL STUDIO have been featured in Business Insider, ELLE, Forbes, Disruptors Magazine (Top 20 Dentists to Look Out For), Exclusive Life Magazine (cover story), Spain Life Exclusive, Europa Press, MSN España, and Cantabria Económica, among others.
