Clinical focus

Dr. Uslu’s practice is focused on restorative dental treatment. In general terms, this area of dentistry is concerned with restoring teeth that have been affected by decay, wear or damage, with the aim of preserving remaining tooth structure and supporting normal function. Her work includes the planning and placement of dental restorations, which are assessed on an individual basis after a clinical examination and a review of any existing dental imaging.

Each patient’s situation is different, and the type of restoration that may be considered depends on the condition of the tooth, the surrounding tissues and the patient’s overall dental health. Dr. Uslu discusses the available options with the patient so that decisions about care can be made on the basis of the clinical findings. For general reading, this site provides information on related restorative topics such as composite bonding and E-Max crowns; whether any particular approach is suitable for an individual patient can only be determined at a consultation.

How Dr. Uslu works with international patients

Dr. Uslu consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example dental X-rays, CT reports, laboratory results, treatment notes and discharge summaries, 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 treatments, a clinical examination of the teeth and oral tissues, and a discussion of the possible options and what each would involve. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation or review findings before or after travelling; an in-person examination remains necessary before any restorative treatment is planned or carried out.
