She holds a PhD in Prosthodontics from Ege University, serves as an Associate Professor at Altınbaş University, and practises cosmetic dentistry for international patients at DentFixTurkey in Şişli, Istanbul.

Treatment focus
Why a prosthodontist for cosmetic work?

Anyone can place a veneer. A prosthodontist is trained to design the whole system — bite forces, gum health, material behaviour over decades — so the result is not only beautiful on day one but stable in year ten. That specialty perspective is why patients with complex cases, failed dentistry, or high aesthetic expectations seek out specialist-led care.
