Ece Büyükbaşaran, DDS

Ece Büyükbaşaran, DDS is a dentist practicing in the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem Bakirkoy Hospital in İstanbul. Her work centers on general dentistry, with an emphasis on preventive dental care, oral health maintenance, and oral hygiene education. She has more than six years of experience in medicine and prepares personalized dental treatment plans for the patients under her care.

Dr. Büyükbaşaran graduated from Okan University Faculty of Dentistry in 2020. In 2023 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she continues her clinical practice. She is a member of the Turkish Dental Association, the Turkish Orthodontic Association, the Aligner Turkish Orthodontic Association, and EDAD. Her involvement in these professional dental and orthodontic associations accompanies her day-to-day clinical work.

Clinical focus

The core of Dr. Büyükbaşaran’s practice is general dentistry. This includes the assessment of teeth, gums, and surrounding oral tissues, the identification of dental problems at an early stage, and the planning of appropriate treatment. She places particular importance on preventive dental care, which aims to reduce the likelihood of dental disease developing or progressing, and on oral health maintenance over time rather than only when symptoms appear.

A further element of her work is oral hygiene education. Patients are informed about daily care of their teeth and gums and about habits that may affect oral health, so that they can take an active role in maintaining the results of any treatment. Because dental needs vary from person to person, Dr. Büyükbaşaran approaches each case through personalized dental treatment planning: findings from the examination are discussed with the patient, the available options are explained, and a plan is prepared that reflects the individual’s clinical situation and priorities. The sequence and scope of any treatment are determined only after this evaluation.

How Dr. Büyükbaşaran works with international patients

Dr. Büyükbaşaran consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as X-ray or CT reports, laboratory results, and summaries of previous dental treatment, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current complaints, a review of existing imaging and earlier treatments, a clinical examination of the mouth and teeth, and a discussion of the options that may be considered. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling; a definitive treatment plan is generally confirmed after an in-person examination.
