Ece Yetiş Eroğlu, DDS

Ece Yetiş Eroğlu, DDS is a dentist at Acibadem Altunizade Hospital in İstanbul, where she works within the Dental & Oral Health unit. Her practice centers on oral and dental health, with a particular emphasis on the gums and the tissues that support the teeth. She has more than eleven years of experience in dentistry.

Dr. Eroğlu completed her dental training at İstanbul Medipol University Faculty of Dentistry, graduating in 2015. In 2022 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, and she currently sees patients at the hospital in Altunizade. Her work brings together the treatment of gum disease and related conditions with the assessment and management of aesthetic gum concerns.

Clinical focus

Dr. Eroğlu treats a range of conditions affecting the gums and the soft tissues of the mouth. These include gum disease, gum bleeding, gum abscess and gum recession, as well as peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition affecting the tissues around dental implants. Professional tartar removal forms part of routine periodontal care and may be recommended as an early step in managing inflammation of the gums. Where appropriate, she also uses laser gum treatment as part of periodontal care. Patients who present with bad breath or mouth sores can be assessed for possible underlying oral causes, and the findings are discussed together with any further steps that may be considered.

In addition to treating disease, Dr. Eroğlu addresses aesthetic concerns related to the gums. For patients with a gummy smile, in which a larger than usual amount of gum tissue is visible when smiling, she offers botulinum toxin applications where this is considered suitable after examination. Whether a given treatment is appropriate depends on the individual clinical picture, and the potential benefits and limitations of each option are explained before any decision is made.

How Dr. Eroğlu works with international patients

Dr. Eroğlu 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-ray or CT images, laboratory results and notes from previous dental or periodontal treatment, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and earlier treatments, a clinical examination of the teeth and gums, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultations are available for international patients, which can be useful for an initial discussion of a case or for follow-up after treatment, although an in-person clinical examination is usually needed before a treatment plan is finalized.
