Clinical focus

Dr. Atıcı provides dental care for patients within the Oral and Dental Health unit, covering the assessment of oral health, the discussion of treatment options and the delivery of dental treatment. A consultation begins with an evaluation of the teeth, gums and existing dental work so that the patient’s situation can be understood before any treatment is considered.

Treatments described on this site within this area of dentistry include E-Max crowns, composite bonding, laminate veneers and full mouth reconstruction. Whether a particular treatment is appropriate depends on the individual patient’s dental condition, and this is determined only after a clinical examination and a review of any existing records. Patients with questions about a specific procedure can raise them during the consultation, where the possible options, their limitations and the expected course of treatment can be discussed in a clear and realistic way.

How Dr. Atıcı works with international patients

Dr. Atıcı 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 reports, laboratory results and notes from previous treatments, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous dental treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Atıcı before traveling. Any recommendations made remotely are provisional and are confirmed following an in-person examination.
