Endodontist with specialist training. Studied under Prof. Dr. Semih Özbayrak at Marmara University, then joined GC Clinic in 2014. Former Assistant Professor and Head of the Department of Endodontics at Yeni Yüzyıl University Faculty of Dentistry (2016–2019). Conservative by conviction — the kind of doctor who will tell you when something does not need doing.
Note for UK visitors In the United Kingdom, the title “endodontist with specialist training” is reserved for dentists on the GDC Specialist List. Dr. Öztürk’s specialism is Turkish-trained and she is not on the UK GDC Specialist List. The formulation used throughout this site — “endodontist with specialist training” — reflects both her credentials and UK advertising standards.
An endodontist starts with the tooth that is still alive. That single fact changes how every subsequent question is answered. When the question is “implant or save?”, the answer begins with “can we save?”. When it is “ten veneers or four?”, the answer begins with “which four are actually indicated?”.
This is not a slower path — it is a more honest one. The patient who comes for a second opinion is, quite often, the patient who leaves without treatment. We consider that a successful visit.
Before any case, I ask myself one question: would I be comfortable with this in my own mouth? That standard has never changed.

If you have travelled to see us, you will not be booked into a ten-minute slot that ends with a quote. The first consultation is scheduled for an hour — sometimes longer — and it is with the doctor who will treat you. Photographs, CBCT, clinical exam, conversation. Then, usually the next morning, a written plan with options. And — about one time in five — a sentence that reads: “we would not recommend you have this done, and here is why.”
