ACE DNTL Studio
A dental center for smile transformation with stylish and welcoming interior
There’s a quiet tension between softness and precision inside Ace DNTL Studio Marbella— and it’s completely intentional. From the arched shadow of a neon chandelier to the gentle curve of a boucle sofa, every inch of this space tells a story of restraint, refinement, and redefinition. Founded by aesthetic dentist Dr. Ace Korkchi, the studio is as much a design statement as it is a center for smile transformation.
“It had to feel unlike any dental clinic people had ever been to,” says Dr. Korkchi. “The experience of beauty starts with where you are, not just what you get.”
From the moment you enter, that intention is clear. The atmosphere is immediate—light- drenched, hushed, and utterly tactile. Walls are finished in a hand-applied lime wash that gives a natural depth and softness. Floors in polished microcement glide underfoot, cool and clean. In the heart of the reception area, a monolithic slab of blush marble rises like a piece of sculpture— anchored by black, arched legs that echo the geometry of Bauhaus forms. Overhead, floating
orbs of light balance like a kinetic mobile, casting a gentle glow.
The color palette is sun-bleached and tonal: whites, creams, chalky greys, and sandy neutrals. There’s not a single unnecessary element in sight. Just light, form, and a deep reverence for calm. It’s not just about style. The design of Ace DNTL Studio Marbella is built around emotional architecture. Everything here is made to soften the typical anxieties associated with clinical spaces. The dental chair itself—visible behind minimalist glass panels—is nestled like a design object within a setting that feels more atelier than operatory. There’s no visual clutter. No bright signage. Just a quiet sense of ease.
In the waiting lounge, a sculptural boucle sofa curves organically along the wall, accompanied by a side table folded from a single sheet of matte white steel. A vase of dried botanicals in sandy tones completes the setting. There are no medical posters, no magazines out of place. Everything has been edited with the eye of an architect and the sensibility of a stylist.
Step outside, and the calm continues. The studio’s private garden terrace is a hidden sanctuary of Mediterranean greens and soft light. Woven teak lounge chairs and curved ceramic coffee tables rest on a muted outdoor rug, surrounded by broad banana leaves and fiddle figs. It feels less like a waiting area and more like a scene from a boutique retreat in Tulum.
At the core of all this is Dr. Ace Korkchi—a perfectionist by nature, a designer at heart. While most dentists might focus purely on function, Korkchi insists that form, feeling, and flow are equally critical. “We create harmony in smiles,” he says. “So the environment we work in should reflect that same harmony. Every material here was chosen to evoke trust, elegance, and peace.”
That commitment to aesthetic thinking is echoed even in the branding. The circular neon sign—”DNTL STUDIO”—floats overhead like a halo in reflection, its repetition mirrored in the glass. The typography is clean and architectural, a nod to brutalist design softened through transparency and repetition. It’s branding not as marketing, but as part of the spatial language. While the visual identity of the studio is striking, it’s the underlying philosophy that defines it. Ace DNTL Studio Marbella is not about flashy luxury or over-the-top decadence. It’s about calm power. About refinement without rigidity. Precision without pretension.
This balance carries into the dental work as well. Known for his ultra-natural porcelain veneers, Dr. Korkchi practices a minimal-prep philosophy, aiming to preserve the integrity of the natural tooth while achieving maximum aesthetic impact. Much like the interior space he created, his work is quiet yet transformative—artfully understated.
