Oral Diagnosis and Treatment Planning Clinic
This is the clinic where patients receive their initial examination. It specializes in diagnosing diseases of the mouth, teeth, and oral mucosa, preparing the most appropriate treatment plans for tissue healing, and referring patients to relevant specialty departments for further care. Additionally, the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral mucosal diseases are carried out by expert physicians in this department.
Our clinic uses both traditional imaging methods and advanced technologies such as Dental Volumetric Tomography. This device, specifically designed for the head and neck region, exposes patients to lower radiation and provides three-dimensional imaging of the targeted area.

Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
Can I have dental X-rays during pregnancy?
Although dental radiography devices emit very low levels of radiation that are not harmful to human health, X-rays are generally avoided in pregnant patients or those suspected of being pregnant—unless there is an urgent medical indication and a physician’s request.
Are dental X-rays harmful?
The radiation exposure from a panoramic dental X-ray is equivalent to spending four hours in front of a computer or walking outside on a sunny day.
Lead aprons worn during certain radiographic procedures help protect other organs and tissues from unnecessary radiation exposure. This is a standard precaution in radiology.
Oral Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center
Oral Cancer
Early detection of precancerous lesions and monitoring of existing lesions is possible through biopsy and histopathological examination.
The health of the oral cavity—including the palate, cheeks, tongue base, and lips—is just as important as the teeth. Many systemic and dermatological diseases first manifest in the mouth. Persistent oral discomfort may indicate ulcers or oral cancer.
Oral cancer ranks 6th among all cancer types. Patients often overlook symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis and more complex treatment.
Regular dental check-ups are vital for early detection and treatment planning of precancerous lesions, preventing difficult outcomes.
Any oral lesion that does not heal within 14 days should be evaluated by a dentist. Suspicious findings require biopsy and histopathological analysis. If cancer is confirmed, Dental Volumetric Tomography is used to assess the extent and bone involvement.
Early Diagnosis
Tissue samples are collected painlessly without local anesthesia and evaluated within five working days. A personalized treatment protocol is then prepared.
Seemingly harmless red or white spots should be tested using OralCDx® Brush Biopsy. The brush is rotated over the lesion until slight bleeding occurs to collect a sample.
What causes oral lesions?
Oral lesions may result from poor hygiene, irritation from teeth, fillings, or prosthetics, iron or B12 deficiency, excessive sun exposure, or underlying oral diseases. Early diagnosis is crucial in preventing oral cancer.
Today, comprehensive oral examinations should include not only teeth and gums but also the entire oral cavity. Any suspicious findings must be addressed promptly.
The goal of routine dental exams is to detect and treat potentially cancerous oral lesions early—before they progress.
Choosing a dentist who performs thorough oral examinations is essential for both dental and overall health.
