Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Ölce’s work concerns the treatment and restoration of damaged or decayed teeth. This includes root canal treatment for teeth with inflamed or infected pulp, dental fillings for cavities and minor defects, and extractions where a tooth cannot be preserved. For teeth that require more extensive rebuilding, she provides porcelain dental restorations and zirconia restorations. The choice between these options depends on the condition of the tooth, its position in the mouth and the patient’s individual circumstances, and is discussed during the clinical examination.

Dr. Ölce also works in aesthetic dentistry. Her procedures in this area include laminate veneers, composite bonding for reshaping or repairing the visible surfaces of teeth, and teeth whitening. Gum health forms a further focus of her practice. She treats gum disease and gum recession, and she addresses gum aesthetics, including botulinum toxin treatment for a gummy smile in suitable cases. Whether a particular aesthetic or gum procedure is appropriate is assessed on an individual basis, taking into account the health of the teeth and surrounding tissues.

How Dr. Ölce works with international patients

Dr. Ölce 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, panoramic images and records of previous treatments, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current dental concerns, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination of the teeth and gums, and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before travelling, although a final treatment plan generally depends on an in-person examination.
