Clinical focus

The core of Dr. Kahya’s practice is restorative dental treatment. In general terms, this area of dentistry is concerned with repairing teeth that have been affected by decay, wear or damage, and with restoring their form and function. The approach chosen for an individual patient depends on the condition of the teeth, the extent of any damage and the findings of a clinical examination, so no treatment can be recommended before the patient has been assessed in person.

Patients who wish to read background information about restorative approaches may find the pages on composite bonding, E-Max crowns, laminate veneers and full mouth reconstruction on this site helpful as general orientation. Whether any particular option is suitable for a given patient can only be determined after an examination and a discussion of the individual situation with the treating dentist.

How Dr. Kahya works with international patients

Dr. Kahya consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer another language. 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 dental history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous dental work, a clinical examination of the teeth and mouth, and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who would like an initial conversation before traveling; such a consultation can help clarify questions and expectations, although a definitive treatment plan generally requires an in-person examination. Throughout the process, the aim is to give the patient a clear understanding of the findings, the proposed restorative approach and what each step involves, so that decisions about care can be made on an informed basis.
