I completed my high school education at Malatya Science High School and Van Science High School. Later, in 2008, I entered Ege University Faculty of Dentistry with first place.

I took the Dentistry Specialization Examination (DUS) and ranked 92nd in Türkiye. I was entitled to receive specialist training in the Department of Prosthodontics at Medipol University.

After completing my specialist training, I worked in private clinics in Istanbul for 3 years. I have been treating my patients in my clinic that I opened in Kadıköy-Suadiye since 2020.

I treat my patients in many areas such as aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry, general dentistry, jaw joint problems and clenching, dental implant treatments and prosthetics, dental prostheses and dental crowns.
