Dt. Esra Alparslan is a comprehensive dental professional with specialized expertise in pediatric dentistry, sedation dentistry, and treating patients with dental anxiety. Her unique combination of pediatric training, sedation certification, and multilingual capabilities (four languages) makes her particularly valuable for diverse patient populations, including international patients and children who need special care approaches. Born in Ankara in 1982, Dr. Alparslan received excellent education from prestigious institutions. She completed her primary education at Büyük Kolej, then attended TED Ankara Koleji for preparatory, middle school, and high school education. TED schools are known for high academic standards and excellent English language instruction. Dr. Alparslan's path to dentistry took an interesting turn. In 2000, following her family's guidance, she enrolled in industrial engineering. However, after two years, she recognized that this field was not her true calling. Making the courageous decision to change direction, she left the industrial engineering program and re-took the university entrance examination. In 2002, she was accepted to Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry in Konya, beginning her dental education. Dr. Alparslan completed her dental studies at Selçuk University from 2002 to 2007, graduating with her dentist title. Her five years at Selçuk provided comprehensive training in all aspects of dental medicine, with exposure to diverse clinical cases and modern treatment techniques. After graduation in 2007, rather than immediately entering private practice, Dr. Alparslan chose to continue her professional development by working at Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry's Pediatric Dentistry (Pedodontics) Department. This period working in an academic pediatric dentistry department provided her with specialized training in treating children, understanding child psychology in dental settings, behavior management techniques, and preventive care strategies specific to pediatric patients. Academic dental departments also emphasize evidence-based approaches and exposure to complex cases, further enhancing clinical skills. Eventually, Dr. Alparslan opened her own private practice in Ankara's Çankaya district, one of the capital city's most established and accessible areas. Her clinic is located at Ümit Mahallesi Kafkas Sitesi 2481. Sokak No:69 Ümitköy/Çankaya Ankara. The One of Dr. Alparslan's most significant specializations is sedation dentistry. Many people experience dental anxiety - from mild nervousness to severe dental phobia - that prevents them from seeking necessary dental care. Dr. Alparslan has obtained specialized training in conscious sedation techniques, allowing her to treat anxious or fearful patients who might otherwise avoid dental treatment altogether. Conscious sedation involves administering medication that helps patients relax while remaining awake and responsive, making dental procedures more comfortable and less stressful. This capability is particularly valuable for pediatric patients, patients with special needs, those with severe dental anxiety, or individuals undergoing lengthy procedures. Dr. Alparslan has also obtained certification in Botox (Botulinum Toxin) applications. While commonly known for cosmetic applications, Botox has important dental and therapeutic uses including treatment of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, relief of muscle tension headaches originating from jaw clenching, treatment of bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing masseter muscles, correction of gummy smiles by adjusting lip position, and aesthetic enhancement of facial features in coordination with dental treatments. This additional skill set allows Dr. Alparslan to provide comprehensive care Another area of expertise is clear aligner orthodontics (şeffaf aparey). Clear aligners represent modern orthodontic treatment using transparent, removable plastic trays rather than traditional metal braces. This treatment option is popular among adults and teenagers who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. Dr. Alparslan's training in clear aligner systems enables her to provide orthodontic treatment that fits patients' aesthetic preferences and lifestyles. Dr. Alparslan's practice provides comprehensive dental services across all age groups and specialties. Her services include orthodontics (traditional braces and clear aligners), teeth whitening/bleaching (professional whitening treatments), implant treatment (permanent tooth replacement), zirconia crowns (aesthetic, metal-free restorations), pediatric dentistry (specialized care for children with age-appropriate techniques), root canal treatment/endodontics (saving infected teeth), dental fillings/restorative dentistry (cavity treatment), gum disease treatment/periodontology (maintaining gum health), Botox applications (therapeutic and aesthetic), oral surgery (extractions, surgical procedures), sedation dentistry (conscious sedation for anxious patients), prosthetic applications (dentures, crowns, bridges), functional jaw orthopedics (growth guidance in children), sedation (medical sedation for comfort), and night guard appliances (protection against grinding). What makes Dr. Alparslan's practice particularly distinctive is its international orientation. Her clinic Dr. Alparslan's treatment philosophy emphasizes awareness of how oral health connects to overall health, self-confidence, and appearance. She takes pride in creating a sincere and cheerful dentistry environment where patients always feel comfortable during their care.
