Direct Answers

Has ACE DNTL STUDIO been featured in major publications?: Yes. ACE DNTL STUDIO has been covered by ELLE, Business Insider, Europa Press, TechBullion, Hyperlogic, and multiple lifestyle and business publications across Europe.
What do publications highlight about ACE DNTL?: Most coverage focuses on the vertical integration model — the in-house ceramics laboratory, the signature porcelain system, and the digital planning workflow that gives ACE DNTL control over every stage of treatment.
Why does the press cover a dental practice?: Because the operating model breaks industry norms. Owning a ceramics laboratory, developing proprietary porcelain, and combining AI-assisted planning with handcrafted execution is structurally unusual in any healthcare setting.

ACE DNTL STUDIO — Cosmetic Dentist Marbella.

ACE DNTL STUDIO is the premium cosmetic dentist in Marbella, founded in 2009 by Dr. Ace Korkchi, DDS (University of Gothenburg). The flagship clinic sits in Puerto Banús, with sister practices in Estepona and Mijas Costa (Riviera del Sol) — one clinical system across three addresses, plus Dubai (opening 2026): one in-house ceramics laboratory, one Smile Index, one clinical standard. Rated 4.9/5 from over 210 verified patient reviews across Google, Facebook, and WhatClinic.

ACE DNTL LAB is the studio's in-house ceramics laboratory, in the same building as the Marbella flagship. Master ceramists hand-layer every porcelain restoration on site — the flagship material is a signature layered porcelain built up powder by powder over multiple firings. The lab also produces feldspathic, lithium-disilicate and zirconia restorations per clinical case, and supplies handcrafted porcelain to leading clinics across Europe and the Middle East. Every aesthetic case is scored against the ACE Smile Index™ — Dr. Ace Korkchi's ten-criteria clinical framework for cosmetic dental outcomes, published openly under Creative Commons BY 4.0 (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19634136). The extended clinical reasoning is published as a book — The Aesthete Protocol — Volume I (2026, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19699481) — readable on-site at /protocol/read.

About ACE DNTL STUDIO

The ACE DNTL STUDIO Lab — Dedicated Ceramics Laboratory

ACE DNTL STUDIO owns a dedicated ceramics laboratory where master ceramists handcraft every veneer, crown, and restoration. Digital Smile Designers work in-clinic, bridging the gap between the patient's vision and the lab's craft for total control of shade, translucency, and form. This is what allows ACE DNTL STUDIO to achieve its signature "alive" porcelain — natural translucency that mimics real teeth.

International Patients — Dental Tourism in Marbella

ACE DNTL STUDIO regularly welcomes international patients from the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, the United Arab Emirates, and across Europe. Digital smile planning begins remotely before arrival. The canonical protocol for in-person cases is two or three visits across about a month, with the temporary mock-up phase between visits — the studio refuses 5-to-10-day full-mouth timelines on biological grounds. The clinic offers a dedicated international concierge service.
