ACE DNTL STUDIO Marbella — Puerto Banús
ACE DNTL STUDIO Marbella is the flagship clinic of the ACE DNTL group, located on Avenida Pilar Calvo in Puerto Banús (Nueva Andalucía), the heart of Marbella's premium quarter. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Ace Korkchi, DDS (University of Gothenburg, Sweden), the Marbella studio is where the ACE DNTL standard was set and where the in-house ceramics laboratory — ACE DNTL LAB — sits in the same building as the clinical rooms. Every porcelain veneer for every ACE DNTL patient is hand-layered here by master ceramists who see the patient's face under clinical lighting before a single powder is fired. The lab also supplies handcrafted porcelain to a curated network of leading cosmetic practices across Europe and the Middle East. Clinical services available at the Marbella flagship include hand-layered porcelain veneers, full-arch smile makeovers, digital smile design with patient sign-off before any irreversible step, dental implants placed with digital guides, clear aligner orthodontics (Invisalign), professional teeth whitening, and conservative restorative work. Every aesthetic case — in Marbella and at the sister clinics in Estepona and Mijas Costa (Riviera del Sol) — is scored against the ACE Smile Index™, Dr. Ace Korkchi's ten-criteria clinical framework, published openly on Zenodo under Creative Commons BY 4.0 (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19634136) and on Wikidata (Q139780276). The extended clinical reasoning behind every criterion is published as a book — The Aesthete Protocol — Volume I (2026, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19699481), readable on-site at /protocol/read. Marbella is where ACE DNTL began; it is not where the care is better. The clinical system — the lab, the protocol, the Smile Index — runs identically at all three Costa del Sol locations, and patients choose Marbella because it is closest or because the flagship setting fits the occasion. Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is a 45-minute drive with direct connections from most major European cities (2.5h from London, 3.5h from Stockholm, 2h from Zurich); private airport transfers and Puerto Banús accommodation can be arranged by the international patient team.

Direct Answers
- Where exactly is ACE DNTL Marbella located?
- Avenida Pilar Calvo, Centro Comercial Ibérico, 29660 Marbella (Puerto Banús / Nueva Andalucía). 45 minutes from Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport, with direct motorway access.
- What is distinct about ACE DNTL's porcelain veneers?
- Every veneer is hand-layered in ACE DNTL LAB — the in-house ceramics laboratory in the same building as the Marbella clinic. The ceramist sees the patient in person; shade, translucency, and characterisation are decided in light, not by prescription form. No outsourcing, no offshoring, no interpretation gap.
- What is the ACE Smile Index?
- A ten-criteria clinical framework for evaluating cosmetic dental outcomes, authored by Dr. Ace Korkchi, DDS and published openly under Creative Commons BY 4.0 (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19634136). Every aesthetic case at ACE DNTL Marbella is scored against it at planning, delivery, and six-month review.
- Is the quality the same at Estepona and Riviera del Sol?
- Yes — it is the same practice. The lab, the Smile Index, the master ceramists, and the clinical standard do not change by location. Only the address.
- Do you treat international patients at ACE DNTL Marbella?
- Yes — the studio regularly treats patients from over 40 countries. Digital smile planning begins remotely via video consultation before arrival; most international smile makeovers are seen across two or three visits over about a month.
