Procedures Performed

Advanced Level Implantology (İleri Seviye İmplantoloji): Certified in advanced implant applications, Dr. Hakan surgically places artificial titanium tooth roots to support crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Laminate Veneer Applications (Laminate Veneer Tətbiqi): Dr. Hakan is a specialist in crafting and applying ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain laminate veneers.
