About
Dr. G. Shevket
Dr. Gokhan Shevket graduated from the University of Western Ontario Dental School with his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2006. He also has a specialist degree in Biology, and major degrees in chemistry and mathematics from the University of Toronto (1997-2002).
In 2003, Dr. Shevket was one of six individuals to be accepted into the Dental Officer Training Program (DOTP) through the Canadian Forces. Dr. Shevket served with the Canadian Forces for 7.5 years as a military dentist, where he was fortunate enough to receive extensive training in many dental surgical programs. He retired from the Canadian Forces in 2010 with a Captain’s rank, and now pursuits providing surgical dental services to various clinics in the community.
Although he is a general practitioner (GP), his extensive surgical training and experience allows him to provide some dental surgeries at regular (GP ODA Fee Guide) prices to his patients. His dental services primarily include impacted wisdom teeth extractions (with or without sedation), dental implant surgery, and soft and hard tissue (bone) grafting. Over the course of his 17+ years of dental services, he has performed thousands of surgeries – with or without sedation, including oral sedation, nitrous (laughing gas) sedation , and intravenous (IV) sedation (1 agent). Dr Shevket does provide limited dental surgeries under General Anesthesia (GA – monitored by Anesthesiologist + Registered Nurse ) depending on the patient’s anxiety, location, and the complexity of the surgery.
