Kübra Aycan Tavuz, DDS

Kübra Aycan Tavuz, DDS is a dentist in the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem Kartal Hospital in İstanbul. Her clinical work is in oral and dental health, with a particular focus on prosthodontic care and restorative dental care. She sees patients whose treatment involves the prosthetic, aesthetic or functional rehabilitation of their teeth, and her practice combines clinical dentistry with a doctoral background in prosthodontics.

Dr. Tavuz graduated from Istanbul Medipol University Faculty of Dentistry in 2016. She then continued her academic training in prosthodontics and, in 2025, completed a PhD in Prosthodontics at Istanbul Medipol University / Institute of Health Sciences. In the same year she joined Acibadem Health Group, where she currently practices. She speaks Turkish and English.

Clinical focus

Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with replacing missing teeth and restoring damaged teeth. Within this field, Dr. Tavuz’s areas of expertise are prosthodontic care, restorative dental care, and prosthetic, aesthetic and functional dental rehabilitation. Restorative care addresses teeth that have been weakened, worn or damaged, with the aim of preserving as much natural tooth structure as is reasonably possible. Prosthetic rehabilitation covers the planning and fitting of prostheses to replace missing teeth, while functional rehabilitation looks at how the teeth meet and work together during chewing and speech. Aesthetic rehabilitation concerns the appearance of the teeth and smile alongside their function, and is usually planned together with the functional and restorative aspects of care rather than in isolation.

Treatment planning in these areas depends on a clinical examination, a review of any existing dental imaging and an assessment of the patient’s overall oral health. General information about treatments that may come up in a prosthetic or aesthetic rehabilitation plan, such as laminate veneers, E-Max crowns, composite bonding or full mouth reconstruction, is available on this site. Whether any particular approach is appropriate for an individual patient can only be determined after a clinical assessment.

How Dr. Tavuz works with international patients

Dr. Tavuz 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 reports, 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 dental work, a clinical examination and a discussion of the possible options. A video consultation for international patients is also available, which can be used for an initial discussion before travel or to go through questions about a proposed treatment plan.
