Sıla Başa, DDS

Sıla Başa, DDS is a dentist in Oral & Dental Health at Acibadem Kozyatagi Hospital in İstanbul. She works within the Dental & Oral Health unit, where she sees patients who present for the assessment and treatment of oral and dental conditions. She has more than six years of experience in medicine, and her practice is based on a clinical examination, a review of the patient’s history and any existing dental records, and a discussion of the available options before any treatment is planned.

Dr. Başa completed her dental training at the İstanbul Aydın University Faculty of Dentistry, graduating in 2020. Since 2024 she has continued her professional practice at Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where her clinical work takes place within the Dental & Oral Health unit of the hospital in İstanbul.

Clinical focus

Dr. Başa’s clinical work is in oral and dental health. Patients typically come to the unit for a general dental assessment, for the evaluation of specific complaints, or for a second opinion on dental treatment that has already been proposed or started elsewhere. The first step is usually a clinical examination, supported where appropriate by dental imaging, so that the condition of the teeth, gums and surrounding structures can be documented and the possible approaches discussed. Treatment planning is individual, and the suitability of any particular procedure depends on the findings of the examination.

For patients who wish to read about dental treatments described on this site before their visit, information is available on E-Max Crowns, Composite Bonding, Laminate Veneers and Full Mouth Reconstruction. Whether any of these options is appropriate for an individual patient can only be determined after a clinical examination, and the possible benefits and limitations of each approach are discussed during the consultation.

How Dr. Başa works with international patients

Dr. Başa consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before the visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as dental X-rays, CT reports, previous treatment records 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 and a discussion of the options. For international patients who wish to discuss their situation before travelling, a video consultation is available; this can help clarify what records to bring and what a visit to the unit might involve, although a final assessment requires an in-person examination.
