Koray qualified in 1989 from Guy’s Dental Hospital, winning the Final Year Prize for
overall excellence and the S.J. Kaye Prize in Oral Medicine and Pathology. He
remained at Guy’s for two separate House Surgeon appointments in Prosthetic
Dentistry and Oral and Maxillofacial surgery until 1991 when he went into general
practice in North London.
Between 1991 and 1993 he completed the Master of Science degree in
Periodontology from Guy’s Hospital and at the end of 1993 passed examinations
to obtain a Restorative Dentistry Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal
College of Surgeons of England.
He has since been in practice dedicated to quality dental care, having a special
interest in multi-disciplinary cases that require detailed planning and co-ordination
of several specialist branches of dentistry. Between 1996 and 1999 he provided
surgical services in periodontics and implant dentistry to three prestigious practices
in the Knightsbridge and South Kensington areas and established his own practice
in the West End of London from 1998.
In 2005 he founded The London Centre for Implant and Aesthetic Dentistry (now
LCIAD Ltd.) in Wimpole Street at the heart of London’s dental and medical
community. He expanded LCIAD in October 2010 into new larger premises to
establish a strong multi-disciplinary clinical team with in depth experience in the
management and care of patients with complex dental problems.
