Sardar Fettahzade, DDS

Sardar Fettahzade, DDS is a dentist whose work is focused on oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery. He practices in the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem Taksim Hospital in İstanbul, where he sees international patients with surgical dental needs, including implant planning, complex extractions and jaw-related conditions. He has more than seven years in medicine and joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2023.

Dr. Fettahzade graduated from Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry in 2019. Between 2019 and 2022 he completed a non-thesis Master’s Degree in Microbiology at İstanbul University, and from 2019 to 2025 he undertook the Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery Doctoral Program at Marmara University. His published work includes articles on piezoelectric surgery in inferior alveolar nerve lateralization (International Dental Journal, 2024), a comparative evaluation of postoperative edema (ADO Clinical Sciences Journal, 2024), an atypical presentation of MRONJ in a young male (Oral Oncology Reports, 2023) and a comparison of nerve functions and depression level (Academic Journal of Health Sciences, 2025).

Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Fettahzade’s practice is dental implants, including All-on-Four and All-on-Six treatment, in which a full arch of teeth is supported on four or six implants. Bone grafting may form part of implant planning when it is clinically indicated. He also performs tooth extraction and impacted tooth extraction, cyst surgery and jaw fracture surgery. Whether a surgical option is appropriate is assessed individually, after clinical examination and a review of the available imaging.

Dr. Fettahzade additionally treats trismus (jaw locking) and offers teeth grinding treatment. Depending on the clinical picture, approaches to teeth grinding may include Botox for teeth grinding or night guard application. These options are discussed with the patient in light of their symptoms, examination findings and any previous treatment, and the chosen approach is tailored to individual clinical needs.

How Dr. Fettahzade works with international patients

Dr. Fettahzade consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging — for example X-ray or CT reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries — arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options that may be suitable. For international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling, a video consultation is available, and it can help clarify which records will be useful for a later in-person assessment.
