When you look for the nearest dental clinic in Ankara, two things matter: being able to reach the clinic in a reasonable time, and being sure you can get the treatment you need there. Funda Sarıkaya Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic is in the Oran area of Çankaya, inside Park Oran Ofis; it is next to Panora Mall and across from One Tower Mall. A specialist orthodontist (tooth and jaw alignment) works at the clinic, and clear aligners (the Invisalign system), braces and monitoring of children's orthodontics are offered. This page explains clearly where the clinic is, what you can come in for, and what to do in an emergency.
This information is general; the decision for you is made after an examination.

What problems can you come to this clinic for?
The clinic is not a general emergency dental service but an orthodontics-focused polyclinic. Reasons for visiting usually include:
- A first examination and treatment plan for crowded, gapped, protruding or misaligned teeth (clear aligner treatment, braces treatment)
- Monitoring your child's tooth and jaw development; the general guideline for a first orthodontic check-up is around age 7 (details)
- A second opinion on, or continuation of, orthodontic treatment started elsewhere
- Problems that come up while wearing braces, such as a loose bracket or a poking wire (what to do about wire and bracket problems)
- Retainer check-ups after treatment ends
If you are looking for another procedure such as a filling, root canal treatment, an implant or an extraction, ask by phone before booking whether the clinic provides that service. That way you will not make the trip for nothing. If you wonder about the difference between an orthodontist and a general dentist, you can read this article.
What should you do in an emergency?
The clinic is not an emergency service and does not provide on-call care. In the following situations, do not wait for a clinic appointment:
- Swelling that spreads to the face, throat or neck, or difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Swelling that increases rapidly together with fever
- Bleeding that cannot be controlled
- A suspected jaw fracture after an accident, or loss of consciousness
- A tooth that has been knocked out completely, or severe trauma
In these situations call the 112 Emergency Call Center or go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital. For unbearable toothache you may also need to see a dentist the same day or go to the emergency unit of an oral and dental health hospital; for the causes of tooth pain, see the toothache article. For problems with your appliance that are not urgent but bother you (a poking wire, a loose bracket, a lost aligner), you can call the clinic for guidance.
How do you get here from different parts of Ankara?
Exact times and routes depend on traffic, the time of day and your vehicle, so we do not give minutes or kilometers here. The general picture is this: Oran is in the south of Çankaya, close to the Eskişehir Road and the Konutkent–Çayyolu line. People coming from Çayyolu, Ümitköy, Konutkent and Yaşamkent mostly arrive by car; those coming from Kızılay, Kavaklıdere, Dikmen and Ayrancı can use public transport or drive. For current lines and timetables, the EGO Cep'te app is the most reliable source.
These pages may help with practical information for your neighborhood: Çayyolu, Ümitköy, Dikmen–Ayrancı and Kızılay–Kavaklıdere. If you are coming from outside Ankara, the page for patients from outside the city explains how check-ups can be planned.
What should you look at when choosing a clinic near you?
Distance should not be the only criterion. In a treatment that lasts months, like orthodontics, you need to come in regularly for check-ups, so ease of access really does matter, but also consider the following:
- Specialty: Ask whether the doctor who will carry out your orthodontic treatment is a specialist orthodontist.
- Scope: Confirm by phone whether the treatment you need is performed at the clinic.
- Hours: Is there an appointment time that fits after work or school? Is the clinic open on Saturday?
- Plan transparency: Are the treatment plan, duration, check-up frequency and fee given in writing after the examination?
- Language: Can you or your family communicate in the language you need?
- Parking and access: If you will come by car, ask about parking in advance.
About fees: because the cost of orthodontic treatment varies with the condition of the teeth, the type of treatment and its duration, a single figure is not given by phone; it is communicated in writing after the examination and planning. You can find the factors on the clear aligner fees page.
What happens at the first examination?
At the first visit the doctor listens to your concerns, performs an intraoral examination and, when needed, requests an X-ray or a digital scan. Then they explain your options, the estimated duration and the check-up schedule. There is no pressure to decide; you can think over the plan and come back later. The orthodontic examination question list can help you prepare. If you would like a photo-based preliminary assessment before you come, see the online preliminary assessment page; this assessment does not replace an examination.
If you are planning to come as a family
If parents and a child each need a separate examination, you can ask for back-to-back appointments; this reduces both travel time and the need to take time off work and school. Orthodontic check-ups are usually short, and the intervals between them are in the range of weeks depending on the treatment; the interval that suits you becomes clear during planning. If a small mishap happens, such as losing an aligner or an appliance, it is enough to let us know by phone without waiting for your appointment day.
How do you book an appointment?
You can call 0312 911 60 36 Monday–Saturday between 09:00 and 20:00, or write on WhatsApp. When you write, mentioning your concern (for example crowding, a child's first check-up, a wire problem), your age and the days and times that suit you speeds up the appointment.
