Who is Dr. Sohrab Korkchi?
Dr. Sohrab Korkchi is a cosmetic and restorative dentist at ACE DNTL STUDIO, holding a DDS from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. His clinical focus is bite engineering, smile makeovers and porcelain veneers — specifically the relationship between how a smile looks and how it functions under load.
What does 'bite engineering' actually mean?
It is the discipline of designing a restored smile around the way the jaw actually moves, rather than around the photograph. Tooth length, edge position, guidance on the canines and the path the jaw takes in and out of contact all determine whether porcelain survives. A smile designed only for the front-on view can look excellent and fail within two years because the forces were never planned for.
Why does functional planning matter for veneers?
Porcelain is strong in compression and vulnerable to shear. If the bite loads a restoration sideways — through a heavy contact, a parafunctional habit or an edge set too long — the ceramic chips regardless of how well it was made. Assessing that before preparation is the difference between a result that lasts and one that is repaired repeatedly.
Does Dr. Sohrab treat function-only cases as well as cosmetic ones?
Yes. ACE DNTL is a full-service adult practice that specialises in aesthetics, not a cosmetic-only clinic. Worn dentition, cracked teeth, failing older restorations and occlusal problems are treated on their own merits, whether or not the patient wants an aesthetic change.
How is a case planned before any tooth is touched?
Digital scans and photographs, a functional assessment, a Digital Smile Design proposal, and then a removable mock-up worn for around two weeks before anything irreversible happens. Most smile work runs across two or three visits over roughly a fortnight, with the mock-up between. Nothing is prepared on the day of the first consultation.
What happens if the bite is the underlying problem?
Then the bite is treated first. Placing new porcelain onto an unresolved occlusal problem transfers the problem to the porcelain. Where that means saying the aesthetic work should wait, the patient is told plainly — ACE DNTL keeps a documented list of the grounds on which it declines or postpones a cosmetic case.
Is the laboratory work done in-house?
Yes. Every ACE DNTL clinic has its own laboratory in the building, and the group also runs a central advanced laboratory for complex work. Nothing is outsourced. For functional cases this matters more than it sounds: an adjustment that would take a fortnight through a courier takes minutes when the ceramist is down the corridor and can see the patient.
Which clinic does Dr. Sohrab work from?
ACE DNTL operates as one clinical system across Marbella (Puerto Banús), Estepona and Riviera del Sol, with shared records and protocols. Clinician availability by location is confirmed when the consultation is booked.
