Gözde Kaya, DDS

Gözde Kaya, DDS is a dentist specializing in prosthetic dental treatment who practices at Acibadem Fulya Hospital in İstanbul, within the Dental & Oral Health unit. Her clinical work centers on prosthetic dental treatment, prosthetic rehabilitation and implant dentistry. She has more than nine years of experience in dentistry and consults in Turkish and English.

Dr. Kaya graduated from Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry in 2017. She then completed her specialty training in Prosthetic Dental Treatment at Trakya University Faculty of Dentistry in 2021. After her training, she worked as a prosthodontist at Dent Group Nişantaşı from 2021 to 2022 and joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2022. She is a member of the TDB Turkish Dental Association and of the ITI International Team For Implantology.

Clinical focus

The core of Dr. Kaya’s practice is prosthetic dental treatment, the field of dentistry concerned with restoring or replacing missing or damaged teeth. This includes prosthetic rehabilitation, in which the function and appearance of the dentition are rebuilt in a planned, stepwise way after tooth loss, wear or damage. Because prosthetic planning depends on the condition of the remaining teeth, the gums and the supporting bone, treatment typically begins with a careful clinical and radiographic assessment before any restorative option is proposed. General information on related restorative approaches is available on this site, including E-Max crowns and full mouth reconstruction.

Dr. Kaya’s second area of focus is implant dentistry, where dental implants are used as anchors for prosthetic restorations. Her prosthodontic background is relevant here, since the design of the final restoration influences how implant treatment is planned. Her membership in the ITI International Team For Implantology reflects this interest. Whether an implant-supported solution or a conventional prosthetic option is appropriate depends on the individual patient’s oral health, medical history and expectations, and this is discussed on a case-by-case basis.

How Dr. Kaya works with international patients

Dr. Kaya 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-rays, CT scans, laboratory results and records of previous dental 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 previous treatments, a clinical examination of the teeth, gums and any existing prostheses, and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling, although a definitive treatment plan for prosthetic or implant work generally requires an in-person examination and current imaging.
