Dr Gözde Alemdar Dental Clinic is a boutique dental practice in Levent, Istanbul, founded in 2017 by Endodontics Specialist Dr Gözde Alemdar.
The clinical approach is strongly influenced by Dr Alemdar’s specialist background in saving and restoring natural teeth. She graduated from Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry before completing advanced postgraduate training in endodontics at the same university.
For patients looking for a dentist in Levent Istanbul, this creates a useful combination. Difficult root canal problems can be assessed alongside aesthetic, restorative and implant treatment rather than viewing every damaged tooth as an automatic candidate for extraction.
Dr Gözde Alemdar – Endodontics Specialist
Gözde Alemdar entered Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry in 2002 and graduated in 2007.
She began her doctoral training in the university’s Department of Endodontics during the same year.
Her research focused specifically on root canal treatment. Her doctoral thesis compared methods of removing calcium hydroxide material from straight and curved root canals.
She completed the programme in 2015 and became an Endodontics Specialist.
Dr Alemdar continues to work in both endodontics and aesthetic dentistry.
She is also a member of the Turkish Endodontics Association and the European Society of Endodontology.
In addition to her clinical work, she is currently involved in academic dental education at Istanbul Nişantaşı University.
A dentist in Levent Istanbul with a tooth-preserving focus
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the tissues inside a tooth and the treatment of infected or damaged root canals.
This specialist background can become particularly important when a patient has been advised to remove a painful tooth.
Extraction may sometimes be necessary. However, a natural tooth that remains restorable may have another option.
Dr Alemdar assesses whether root canal treatment or another restorative approach can preserve the tooth before replacement is considered.
This can be particularly relevant for patients who are also researching dental implants.
An implant is designed to replace a tooth that is missing or cannot be retained. It does not automatically provide a better option than a natural tooth that can still be successfully treated.
Root canal treatment and difficult endodontic cases
Root canal treatment forms an important part of the clinic’s work.
Treatment may be considered when decay, trauma or another problem damages the pulp inside the tooth.
Some teeth require treatment because they cause significant pain. Others may have lost vitality without producing obvious symptoms and are identified during dental imaging.
The clinic also treats previously root-filled teeth when the original treatment has not resolved the problem.
This is known as root canal retreatment.
During retreatment, the previous root filling is removed and the canals are disinfected again before a new root filling is placed.
Depending on the individual tooth, the clinic describes retreatment as commonly requiring one or two sessions.
A failed root canal does not always mean extraction
Patients sometimes seek treatment abroad after being told that a previously treated tooth needs to be removed.
A failed root canal can have different causes.
There may be untreated canal anatomy, persistent infection or leakage through a damaged filling or crown.
The remaining tooth structure also matters.
An endodontic assessment can help determine whether retreatment offers a reasonable possibility of keeping the tooth.
If you have an X-ray of the affected tooth, send it to New Holidays when you enquire.
We can forward the available information before your appointment in Levent.
The restoration above a root canal also matters
Root canal treatment addresses infection inside the tooth, but treatment does not end there.
The tooth also needs an appropriate restoration above the root.
Depending on how much natural structure remains, this may involve a filling, onlay or crown.
A poorly fitting restoration can allow bacteria to enter the tooth again.
For this reason, Dr Gözde Alemdar Clinic considers the restorative stage together with the endodontic treatment.
This connection between endodontics and restorative dentistry is particularly useful for patients who have several previously treated or heavily restored teeth.
Aesthetic dentistry planned around the existing teeth
Aesthetic dentistry is another important area of Dr Alemdar’s practice.
The clinic provides treatments that include personalised smile design, laminate veneers, whitening and full-ceramic restorations.
The starting point is the existing condition of the mouth.
Not every aesthetic concern requires ceramic treatment.
Colour may sometimes be improved with whitening.
A relatively intact front tooth may be suitable for a conservative laminate veneer.
A tooth with substantial loss of structure may require a more extensive restoration.
The treatment plan can therefore use different approaches for different teeth.
Personalised smile design before treatment begins
Smile design at Dr Gözde Alemdar Clinic takes more than tooth colour into account.
The dentist evaluates tooth size, position, gum levels and the relationship between the teeth and the surrounding facial features.
Patient preferences also form part of the planning.
The proposed result can be previewed using a model or computer-based simulation before the definitive aesthetic treatment proceeds.
This allows the planned tooth proportions and appearance to be discussed before irreversible restorative work begins.
The clinic first addresses active oral-health problems before moving to the final aesthetic stage.
Porcelain laminate veneers in Levent
Porcelain laminate veneers are available for selected front teeth.
The clinic describes its laminates as thin porcelain restorations bonded to the visible surface of the tooth.
Where preparation is required, the current clinical information describes removing approximately 0.3 to 0.7 mm from the tooth surface.
Some cases may require no tooth reduction.
After the teeth are prepared and impressions are taken, temporary laminates can be used while the definitive porcelain restorations are produced.
At the fitting appointment, the final veneers are checked before they are bonded to the teeth.
The amount of preparation depends on the existing tooth and the intended result.
When a full ceramic crown may make more sense than a veneer
A laminate veneer does not provide enough coverage for every damaged tooth.
When a tooth has lost more structure, Dr Gözde Alemdar Clinic also provides full-ceramic restorations.
These cover more of the tooth than a laminate.
The clinic also works with zirconium-based restorative options.
The choice between a veneer and a crown should therefore be made according to the condition of each individual tooth.
Patients considering treatment across many front teeth can ask which teeth genuinely require full coverage and which may have a more conservative option.
Orthodontics can be considered before cosmetic preparation
The clinic also provides orthodontic treatment.
Options currently include conventional orthodontic appliances as well as clear orthodontic approaches.
This becomes relevant when the main concern is tooth position rather than tooth damage.
A mildly crowded or rotated tooth does not automatically need to be reshaped with a crown.
Orthodontic movement may provide another solution in selected cases.
For patients considering extensive aesthetic work, evaluating tooth position first can help avoid unnecessary preparation of otherwise healthy teeth.
Implant treatment at Dr Gözde Alemdar Clinic
Dental implant treatment is available for patients with missing teeth or teeth that cannot be maintained.
The clinic describes several implant approaches depending on the individual jaw.
Where bone conditions are suitable, an implant may sometimes be placed immediately after an extraction.
In other cases, implant placement takes place as a separate surgical procedure.
The clinic also describes guided implant placement using information from jaw tomography and dental impressions.
The correct approach depends on the available bone, gum condition, implant position and final restoration.
All-on-4 for selected full-arch cases
Dr Gözde Alemdar Clinic also provides an All-on-4 treatment option for selected patients who have lost all teeth in a jaw.
The technique uses four implants to support a full-arch prosthesis.
For suitable patients, the clinic describes placing a temporary fixed restoration on the day the implants are inserted.
The implants then require a healing period before the definitive prosthetic stage.
This distinction is important when planning treatment from abroad.
Same-day temporary teeth are not the same as completing the entire biological healing process in one day.
New Holidays can ask the clinic to explain the expected stages and number of Istanbul visits for your individual case.
Gum health is considered before restorative treatment
Periodontal treatment is also available at the Levent clinic.
Healthy gums are particularly important before veneers, crowns and implants.
Bleeding gums, periodontal pockets or gum recession may need treatment before the restorative stage begins.
The clinic provides professional cleaning and periodontal treatment according to the severity of the problem.
Gum levels can also influence the proportions of an aesthetic smile.
For patients combining cosmetic treatment with gum concerns, both aspects can be considered during planning.
Oral surgery when treatment requires it
The clinic’s treatment range also includes oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures.
These include dental extractions, impacted wisdom teeth, implant procedures and selected cyst or root-tip surgery.
This becomes useful when restorative treatment depends on resolving a surgical problem first.
For example, an infected or impacted tooth may need assessment before a larger implant or prosthetic plan can proceed.
The necessary treatment sequence is determined after clinical and radiographic examination.
A boutique practice rather than a large treatment centre
Dr Gözde Alemdar Clinic describes itself as a boutique dental practice.
One part of its treatment philosophy is continuity after treatment begins.
The clinic aims to create a treatment plan that allows the patient to continue with the responsible dentist rather than changing doctors unnecessarily during the same course of care.
This can matter to international patients who want to know who is responsible for their treatment from the initial assessment through later stages.
It may be particularly useful for complex restorative cases where several appointments are required.

What to send before your appointment
Different treatments benefit from different information.

For implants, a panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan can be useful if you already have one.
For aesthetic treatment, send clear photographs of your teeth together with a natural smiling photograph.

- previous root canal treatment
- existing crowns or veneers
- missing teeth
- existing implants
- current dental pain or swelling
- gum problems
- treatment recommended by another dentist
- how many days you expect to stay in Istanbul
You do not need to arrange unnecessary new imaging solely for the first enquiry.
Send New Holidays the records you already have.
Getting a current treatment plan before travelling
The final dental plan depends on the clinical condition of your teeth.
A root canal case, veneer case and implant case all require different information before treatment can be confirmed.
New Holidays can forward your dental records or photographs to Dr Gözde Alemdar Clinic and request current treatment information.
For larger restorative cases, we can also ask about the proposed materials, number of appointments and expected treatment schedule.
For implant treatment, we can clarify whether treatment is expected to involve conventional placement, immediate placement, guided surgery or a full-arch approach.
Who may particularly consider this dentist in Levent Istanbul?
Dr Gözde Alemdar Clinic may be particularly relevant for patients who want aesthetic or restorative treatment but also have difficult root canal problems.
Dr Alemdar’s specialist training in endodontics provides a strong tooth-preservation perspective.
At the same time, her work includes aesthetic dentistry and smile design.
This allows treatment decisions to consider whether an existing natural tooth can be saved and restored before moving to extraction and replacement.
The clinic may also appeal to patients who prefer a smaller boutique practice with continuity of care rather than a large high-volume dental centre.
