Born in the beautiful Bulgarian capital of Sofia, Dr. Svetlana Aparı has made a long career in dentistry. From graduating cum-laude from the Medical University of Sofia in 1985, through achieving her specialization in the field of dental surgery in 1991, she has always sought new challenges for herself in the field of dental hygiene. Seeking further improvement, Dr. Aparı has completed a 2-year course of dental surgery at the prestigious Ludwig Maximillian University in Munich, Germany in 1994. Over the years, Dr. Aparı has built a strong presence in the Sofia dental scene, with founding and developing 3 “Koronadent” – branden dental clinics throughout the city. In 2020, after having the desire for some change in scenery, Dr. Aparı moved to beuatiful Antalya, Turkey to start her new clinic in the heart of the city. Since then, she has managed to gain popularity among other dentists and clinics in this beautiful city, with key differentiating points being her European diploma, international experience and exposure as well as her ability to communicate fluently in multiple languages (Turkish, Bulgarian, English, Russian, German), always done in the name of her patients.
