I am an Associate Professor of Prosthodontics with over seventeen years of combined academic and clinical experience, during which I have managed more than 2,300 individual cases. My professional journey has been shaped by a strong commitment to education, research, and high-level patient care, allowing me to contribute meaningfully to both clinical practice and academic advancement in prosthodontics.
I have served as an Associate Professor at Antalya Bilim University Faculty of Dentistry and previously worked as a prosthodontist in private clinical settings as well as a research assistant at Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry. These diverse roles have enabled me to develop a broad perspective that integrates academic rigor with hands-on clinical expertise. Throughout my career, I have focused on delivering functional, durable, and aesthetically refined prosthetic solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.
Alongside my clinical responsibilities, I maintain an active presence in the scientific community. I am a member of the Turkish Society of Prosthodontics and Implantology (TPID) and the European Prosthodontic Association (EPA), and I have contributed to numerous international congresses, symposiums, and scientific meetings. My research interests include maxillofacial prosthetic retention systems, CAD/CAM material surface characteristics, finite element analysis, and interdisciplinary restorative approaches, with publications in both national and international peer-reviewed journals.
I strongly believe in continuous professional development and regularly participate in advanced trainings, courses, and seminars in aesthetic dentistry, digital workflows, and implant-supported prosthetics. This ongoing education allows me to remain at the forefront of modern prosthodontic techniques while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and treatment quality.
My professional philosophy is grounded in a patient-centred approach that combines technical precision with aesthetic sensitivity. I view prosthodontics not only as a restorative discipline but as a means of enhancing function, comfort, and quality of life. As an educator, clinician, and researcher, I am dedicated to advancing dental science while enriching patients’ lives through thoughtful, evidence-based care and innovative prosthetic solutions.
