Emrah Özmutlu, DDS

Emrah Özmutlu, DDS is an oral, dental and maxillofacial surgeon at Acibadem Eskisehir Hospital in Eskişehir, where he practices within the Dental & Oral Health unit. His work concentrates on conditions affecting the jaws and the temporomandibular joint, including cases that may require corrective jaw surgery. He has more than 16 years in medicine.

Dr. Özmutlu graduated from Ege University Faculty of Dentistry in 2010. He went on to complete specialty training in Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery at Osmangazi University Faculty of Dentistry, finishing in 2018. He has been part of Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2020.

Clinical focus

The core of Dr. Özmutlu’s clinical practice is orthognathic surgery, the surgical correction of jaw position and alignment. A frequent indication within this area is jaw retrusion, in which the upper or lower jaw sits further back than expected and may affect bite, facial balance, chewing or speech. Whether surgery is appropriate depends on the individual anatomy, the degree of the discrepancy and the findings of a full clinical and radiographic assessment; in some patients, non-surgical options or a combination of approaches may be discussed instead.

Dr. Özmutlu also sees patients with trismus (jaw locking), in which the ability to open the mouth is restricted, and with temporomandibular joint disorders, which may present with pain in the jaw joint or surrounding muscles, clicking, or limited or altered movement. These conditions can have several underlying causes, so assessment focuses first on identifying the likely origin of the symptoms before treatment options are considered. For patients whose jaw treatment forms part of a broader dental plan, this site also provides general information on full mouth reconstruction.

How Dr. Özmutlu works with international patients

Dr. Özmutlu 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 X-ray, CT or MRI reports, previous dental or surgical records, laboratory results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and any previous treatment, a clinical examination of the jaws, bite and temporomandibular joints, and a discussion of the possible diagnostic and treatment options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling; it does not replace an in-person examination, which remains necessary before any surgical decision is made.
