Qualifications

With a mock-up you can see and approve before any enamel is touched, Prof. Dr. Başak Şeker’s Smile Design workflow is built around predictable aesthetics and patient control. At the clinic in Antalya, she focuses on periodontology and implant surgery foundation, then connects gum health, implant planning, and restorative dentistry into one treatment plan. Veneers are prepared with minimal enamel reshaping of 0.3–0.7 mm, and the final stage includes bonding of E.max® veneers after temporaries are fitted. For patients who need more than cosmetic change, she also uses zirconia crowns for rehabilitation of severely compromised anterior teeth.
