About me

Function and aesthetics, together

Prosthodontics is not only about making teeth look good. It is about planning restorations that work in harmony with your bite, chewing, speech and jaw joints, so they serve you well for many years. I approach every treatment with this whole-mouth view, weighing your aesthetic goals together with functional needs.

I regularly care for expats and employees of international companies in Istanbul, from routine check-ups to full smile rehabilitations.

Treatment process

From consultation to your new smile

Consultation

We discuss your concerns and goals, followed by an examination and any necessary imaging.

Digital planning

Intraoral scans and photos are used to plan treatment; we agree on options, timeline and cost.

Try-in & treatment

Where needed, temporaries let you test shape and shade before the final restorations are placed.

Follow-up

Regular check-ups help keep your restorations and gums healthy for the long term.

FAQ

Questions patients often ask

Do you treat patients in English?

Yes. Consultations, treatment planning and all follow-up can be carried out fully in English. I welcome international patients and expats living in Istanbul.

How long do zirconia crowns last?

With the right indication, good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, zirconia crowns can serve for many years. Longevity varies with factors such as teeth grinding, gum health and home care.

Do veneers require a lot of tooth reduction?

Porcelain veneers usually require only a thin layer of enamel to be prepared. The exact amount depends on tooth position and colour and is decided at your consultation; in some cases minimal or no preparation is needed.

How many visits does treatment take?

Crowns and veneers are typically completed in 2–4 visits. For implant-supported restorations, timing depends on how long the implant needs to integrate with the bone. Your personal timeline is planned at the first visit.

Can I get a receipt for my insurance?

Yes. We provide itemised invoices and treatment reports that you can submit to your private or international health insurer.
