Dr. Ali Riza Özdurmuş

Dr. Ali Riza Özdurmuş is a dentist in the Dental & Oral Health unit at the Acibadem Bodrum Outpatient Clinic in Muğla. His clinical work covers aesthetic and restorative dentistry, orthodontic treatment with fixed braces, orthognathic surgery for jaw retrusion, and the assessment of trismus and temporomandibular joint disorders. He has more than 13 years of experience in dentistry.

Dr. Özdurmuş graduated from Yakındoğu University Faculty of Dentistry in 2013. Since 2025, he has been part of Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where he sees both local and international patients for dental and oral health care.

Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Özdurmuş’s practice is aesthetic dentistry. This includes porcelain restorations, dental laminates, zirconia restorations, and composite bonding. The choice between these approaches depends on the condition of the existing teeth, the extent of the changes the patient is seeking, and findings from the clinical examination, and Dr. Özdurmuş discusses the alternatives with each patient before treatment planning is finalized.

He also provides orthodontic treatment with metal braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces, and he is involved in orthognathic surgery for patients with jaw retrusion, where the relationship between the jaws affects bite, function, or facial balance. In addition, Dr. Özdurmuş evaluates patients with trismus, meaning restricted mouth opening, and with temporomandibular joint disorders, which may present with jaw pain, clicking, or limited movement. Assessment of these conditions generally involves a careful history, a clinical examination of the jaw and joint, and a review of any available imaging before treatment options are considered.

How Dr. Özdurmuş works with international patients

Dr. Özdurmuş consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as dental X-rays, CT or MRI reports, previous treatment records, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the visit to the clinic. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous dental or orthodontic treatments, a clinical examination of the teeth, jaws, and temporomandibular joints, and a discussion of the available options, including their expected course and limitations. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Özdurmuş before deciding whether to travel, although a final treatment plan usually requires an in-person examination and current imaging.
