Zeynep Kavi, DDS

Zeynep Kavi, DDS is a dentist in the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital in İstanbul. She provides oral and dental health care for patients who seek assessment and treatment in this field. Her scope of practice covers general dentistry, preventive dental care and dental treatment planning, and her approach places emphasis on clear explanation of findings and on organizing care in a way that the patient can follow from the outset.

Dr. Kavi graduated from İstanbul University Faculty of Dentistry in 2021. Since 2022 she has continued her professional practice within Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where her current clinical work is based at the hospital’s Dental & Oral Health unit. Her experience in the field spans more than five years.

Clinical focus

Dr. Kavi’s clinical work centers on general dentistry. In this role she assesses the condition of the teeth, gums and other oral tissues, reviews the patient’s dental history and any previous dental treatment, and explains what she finds in plain terms. Where treatment is considered, the possible approaches are discussed openly, including what each option involves, what it is intended to achieve and what limitations it may have, so that decisions are reached together with the patient rather than for the patient.

Preventive dental care is a further focus. Preventive care is generally directed at maintaining oral health over time and at identifying early changes before they progress, and it is discussed with each patient in the light of their individual situation. Dental treatment planning ties these elements together. When several issues are present, or when care is expected to take place in stages, Dr. Kavi sets out a structured plan that orders priorities, describes the likely sequence of visits and allows the patient to understand the overall course of care before it begins. A plan of this kind is reviewed as treatment progresses and adjusted if the clinical picture or the patient’s needs change.

How Dr. Kavi works with international patients

Dr. Kavi consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as dental X-ray reports, records of previous dental treatment and any relevant laboratory results, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination of the mouth and teeth, and a discussion of the available options and their implications. For international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling, or to review matters afterwards, a video consultation can be arranged.
