Clinical focus

Dr. Şeker’s work centers on the maintenance and restoration of oral health. This includes the assessment of the teeth, gums and surrounding tissues, the identification of dental disease and the planning of appropriate treatment. Dental disease management forms a core part of her practice, with an emphasis on examining the current condition of the mouth, discussing findings with the patient and agreeing on a treatment approach that reflects the individual situation. Her postgraduate training in oral and dental diseases and their treatment informs this part of her work.

A further area of her practice is esthetic dentistry, which addresses the appearance of the teeth alongside their function. In this area, Dr. Şeker evaluates the patient’s expectations together with the clinical findings and explains which options may be suitable and what each would involve. As with all dental care, the suitability of any esthetic procedure depends on the underlying oral health and is decided after a clinical examination.

How Dr. Şeker works with international patients

Dr. Şeker 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 X-rays, dental records, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous dental treatments, a clinical examination of the mouth and teeth, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Şeker before deciding whether to travel; the scope of such a consultation is limited by the absence of an in-person examination, and any treatment plan is confirmed only after a clinical assessment at the hospital.
