Oral health is often underestimated, even though it has a significant impact on both quality of life and overall health. Studies have identified links between periodontal disease and systemic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The two specialties that attracted me and in which I trained have enabled me to save many compromised teeth. Preserving our patients’ natural teeth for as long as possible is always preferable, and we make every effort to achieve this.

Without hesitation, and in all sincerity, I can say that DENT ESTET and my colleagues here have had the greatest influence on my professional life. I have had the opportunity to work alongside highly skilled colleagues from whom I have learned a great deal. Equally important, I have had access to advanced, state-of-the-art equipment.

Modern technologies are an integral part of my daily practice, and I use them to support and improve patient care. The courses I attend regularly also help me incorporate the latest techniques and treatment methods into my work. When you have access to advanced equipment and the necessary training to use it correctly, integrating modern technology into everyday practice becomes a natural process.

“Will it hurt?” That is the first question that comes to mind. Many patients arrive with this fear because of previous experiences. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers significantly more effective and minimally invasive treatment options, from digital anaesthesia to dental lasers and microscopes. Of course, there are many other questions that patients frequently ask.

A laser is light and energy, and for clinicians it offers a fascinating, unconventional approach to certain dental procedures. For me, it created an opportunity to treat conditions such as periodontal disease in a minimally invasive way while providing greater comfort for patients.

Most of our cases are complex and require an interdisciplinary approach. Patients are examined by several members of our medical team and undergo detailed radiological investigations and medical tests. We then work together to develop the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual case.

I have always been fortunate to work with highly skilled colleagues who are deeply committed to their patients. We collaborate closely and efficiently to find the most appropriate solution for every case.

The clinic has always felt like home. I can hardly believe that 19 years have passed—it feels as though I only started yesterday. I have grown both personally and professionally alongside many colleagues who have also been part of the clinic for a long time.

I feel very fortunate that my professional life has always felt like a second home. The two sides of my life have come together naturally, without either one being neglected.
