Dt. Hatice Miray Şahin

Dt. Hatice Miray Şahin is a dentist in the field of Oral & Dental Health. She practices at Acibadem Maslak Hospital in İstanbul, where she works within the Dental & Oral Health unit. Her clinical work covers general and restorative dentistry for adult and pediatric patients, ranging from routine oral hygiene assessment to root canal therapy, tooth extraction and implant placement.

Dt. Şahin completed her dental education at Yeditepe University, graduating in 2020. She has more than six years of experience in medicine. Her practice combines diagnostic work, including the interpretation of dental radiographs, with the planning and delivery of conservative, surgical, periodontal and prosthetic dental treatment.

Clinical focus

Dt. Şahin treats a broad range of dental and oral health conditions. Her areas of expertise include the treatment of dental caries, root canal therapy for teeth with infected or damaged pulp, and tooth extraction where a tooth cannot be preserved. She also manages periodontal disease, which affects the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth, and carries out oral hygiene assessments to identify risk factors and guide preventive care. Dental radiograph interpretation forms part of her diagnostic work and supports treatment planning across these areas.

In restorative and reconstructive dentistry, Dt. Şahin performs dental implant placement and prosthetic dental restoration for patients who have lost one or more teeth or who require replacement of damaged tooth structure. She also provides orthodontic treatment for the correction of tooth alignment and bite problems. Pediatric dental care is a further part of her practice, covering the examination and treatment of children in a setting adapted to their needs. The suitability of any of these treatments is determined on an individual basis after clinical examination and, where necessary, radiographic assessment.

How Dt. Şahin works with international patients

Patients traveling from abroad are supported by the Acibadem international patient team, which coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as dental or panoramic X-rays, CT scans, laboratory results, previous treatment notes and discharge summaries, before the visit. The team also arranges appointments and organizes the hospital stay. A first consultation with Dt. Şahin typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of any existing imaging and previous dental treatments, a clinical examination of the teeth, gums and oral tissues, and a discussion of the available treatment options and their expected course. Interpreters can be arranged so that patients can communicate clearly during the consultation and throughout treatment. Any treatment plan is discussed with the patient before it is started, and further diagnostic steps may be recommended if the existing records are incomplete.
