Ceyda Sabancı, DDS

Ceyda Sabancı, DDS is a dentist in the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem Kent Hospital (Izmir) in İzmir. Her clinical work concentrates on root canal treatment, tooth root infection and dental fillings. In her approach to care she gives attention to preserving the natural tooth where this is appropriate and to explaining dental concerns clearly, so that patients understand the findings and the options that are being considered.

Dr. Sabancı graduated from Ege University Faculty of Dentistry in 2017 and has more than nine years in medicine. In 2026 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she sees patients in the Dental & Oral Health unit. Her practice combines endodontic treatment of the tooth interior with restorative treatment of the visible tooth structure, allowing her to follow a tooth from the assessment of a complaint through to its final restoration.

Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Sabancı’s work is root canal treatment. This is considered when the soft tissue inside a tooth has become inflamed or infected, for example as a result of deep decay, a crack or a previous restoration that has failed. The aim is to remove the affected tissue, clean and shape the canals and seal them so that the tooth can be retained rather than removed. Whether a tooth can be preserved depends on the individual findings, and Dr. Sabancı discusses the likely course of treatment with each patient after examination and imaging.

She also manages tooth root infection, including cases that present with pain, swelling or sensitivity around a tooth. Assessment typically involves a clinical examination and dental imaging to establish the source and extent of the problem before any treatment is proposed. In addition, Dr. Sabancı provides dental fillings to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage and to rebuild teeth after endodontic treatment. The choice of filling material and technique is guided by the location of the tooth, the amount of remaining structure and the patient’s needs.

How Dr. Sabancı works with international patients

Dr. Sabancı 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, previous treatment records and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous dental treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Sabancı before deciding whether to travel; a definitive treatment plan generally still requires an in-person examination and up-to-date imaging.
