Fatma Zehra Ekinci, DDS

Fatma Zehra Ekinci, DDS is a dentist in Oral & Dental Health who practises within the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem Etiler Outpatient Clinic (İstanbul). She provides dental care with an approach focused on clear communication and the individual needs of each patient. Dr. Ekinci has more than three years in medicine and sees both local and international patients at the clinic.

She graduated from Abant İzzet Baysal University Faculty of Dentistry in 2023. In 2025 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she now works as part of the Dental & Oral Health team. Her professional background is in general dentistry, and her work centres on the assessment, discussion and planning of oral and dental care for adult patients who present with a range of dental concerns.

Clinical focus

Dr. Ekinci’s clinical work takes place within the Dental & Oral Health unit, where patients are assessed for their oral health concerns and a care plan is discussed in a structured consultation. The scope of the unit’s work covers preventive care, including dental hygiene, as well as restorative treatment such as dental fillings, dental crowns and composite bonding. Further information about treatments offered within the unit, including aesthetic dentistry and dental emergency and trauma care, is available on the linked treatment pages of this site.

Whether a particular treatment is suitable depends on the individual clinical situation, the condition of the teeth and gums, and the findings of a clinical examination. Dr. Ekinci places emphasis on explaining findings and options clearly so that patients understand what is proposed and why, before any decision about treatment is made. Where a case falls outside her scope, it can be discussed with other members of the dental team within the same unit.

How Dr. Ekinci works with international patients

Dr. Ekinci 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, for example dental X-rays, CT scans, previous treatment records and laboratory results, and arranges appointments and the clinic visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and 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 concerns or review their records before travelling, although a clinical examination in person remains necessary before any treatment can be confirmed.
