Dr. Ağartıoğlu graduated from Süleyman Demirel University Faculty of Dentistry in 2020.

Clinical focus

The core of Dr. Ağartıoğlu’s clinical work is restorative dental treatment. This area of dentistry is concerned with restoring the form and function of teeth that have been affected by damage or disease, while aiming to keep as much of the natural tooth as possible. Tooth restoration is planned on an individual basis after a clinical examination, and the approach chosen depends on the condition of the tooth, the surrounding tissues and the patient’s overall dental situation. Dr. Ağartıoğlu discusses the available options with each patient so that decisions about treatment can be made together.

Alongside restorative procedures, Dr. Ağartıoğlu places emphasis on oral health in a broader sense. This includes assessing the general state of the teeth and gums, identifying factors that may affect the long-term outcome of any restoration, and advising patients on how to support their dental health after treatment. Her care is intended to address the immediate dental need while also taking the patient’s ongoing oral health into account.

How Dr. Ağartıoğlu works with international patients

Dr. Ağartıoğlu consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as dental X-rays, previous treatment records and any relevant laboratory results, and arranges appointments and the practical aspects of the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of any existing imaging and previous dental treatments, a clinical examination of the teeth and mouth, and a discussion of the possible options. For international patients who are not yet in Turkey, Dr. Ağartıoğlu also offers video consultations, which can be used to review a case and discuss initial questions before any decision about travel or treatment is made. Recommendations given remotely may be revised once an in-person examination has taken place.
