Why she became a dentist
Dt. Sevil Pekmezci was born with a cleft lip and palate, and had 11 surgeries and a series of treatments as a child. That experience is what drew her toward dentistry, and toward helping patients regain confidence in their smile.
Funding treatment for children with a cleft lip and palate
Because of her own history, Dt. Pekmezci funds treatment for children whose families cannot pay for it:
- Supports surgery and treatment costs for children from families without the means to pay, including children born with a cleft lip and palate.
- Working on formal association-building for this cause.
Awards
- Aesthetic Dental Clinic of the Year
- Health Tourism Brand of the Year
We are naming these awards as stated to us, but we are not naming the awarding body or year here — that detail has not been verified, so it does not appear in the structured data for this page either.
What we are not showing you, and why
Two honest gaps, because a page with no gaps at all is not a page you should believe:
- No graduation year. Dt. Pekmezci trained at Selçuk University and Sivas Cumhuriyet University's Faculties of Dentistry; we have not been able to confirm the year she qualified, so we have left it out rather than guess.
- No awarding body or year for her awards. Listed above by name only, for the same reason.
