Özge Akgün, DDS

Özge Akgün, DDS is a dentist in Oral & Dental Health who practices in the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem Dr. Sinasi Can (Kadikoy) Hospital and Acibadem Atasehir Hospital, both located in İstanbul. Her clinical interests include endodontic treatment, tooth root infections, bad breath, dental fillings and tooth extraction, and she sees patients presenting with everyday dental complaints such as tooth pain or a suspected root infection.

She graduated from İstanbul Medeniyet University Faculty of Dentistry in 2023 and has more than three years of experience in dentistry. She joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2026, where she works within the Dental & Oral Health unit at the two İstanbul hospitals. Her practice covers both the diagnosis of oral and dental conditions and the treatment of common problems affecting the teeth, with consultations held in the Dental & Oral Health unit.

Clinical focus

Endodontic treatment addresses problems inside the tooth, most often when the inner tissue has become inflamed or infected. Dr. Akgün assesses patients with tooth root infections, which may present with pain, sensitivity or swelling, and discusses whether the tooth can be treated and preserved or whether tooth extraction is a more appropriate option. Decisions of this kind depend on the clinical examination and on dental imaging, and the plan is discussed with the patient before treatment begins. Where treatment is carried out over more than one visit, the sequence and timing are explained in advance.

Her work also includes dental fillings, which are used to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage, and the assessment of bad breath, a complaint that can have several causes and is evaluated as part of a general examination of the mouth and teeth. Where a filling, endodontic treatment or extraction is proposed, Dr. Akgün explains the steps involved, the expected course after treatment and any follow-up that may be needed.

How Dr. Akgün works with international patients

Dr. Akgün speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who need support in other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as dental X-rays, earlier treatment records and any relevant laboratory results, 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 treatment, a clinical examination of the mouth and teeth and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who would like an initial discussion of their concerns before travelling to İstanbul.
