Dentarma is led, and has always been led, by Prof. Dr. Emre \u015eeker and Assoc.Prof. Dr. Ba\u015fak \u015eeker. This is the story of how they built the practice from a small founding team in 2002, what they specialise in, and why every patient still meets a founding professor on day one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At Dentarma, Prof. Dr. \u015eeker personally places every implant and personally reviews every full-mouth case before treatment begins.<\/strong>\u00a0Twenty years on, this has never been delegated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      “An implant is not a procedure \u2014 it’s a thirty-year commitment to a patient. That’s how we approach every case at Dentarma, and it’s why I still place every single one personally.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>

      Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ba\u015fak \u015eeker is a periodontist and implantologist at Dentarma, with a clinical focus on gum health, implant stability, soft tissue management and aesthetic gum harmony.<\/p>

      After graduating from Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry, she completed her doctorate in Periodontology at Near East University. Her work focuses on the foundation of a healthy smile: strong gums, stable bone support and carefully planned implant treatment.<\/p>

      At Dentarma, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ba\u015fak \u015eeker plays a key role in implant and full-mouth rehabilitation cases, especially where gum condition, bone support, recession or soft tissue aesthetics can affect the final result. Her approach is not only about placing teeth, but creating a healthy and stable foundation for long-term success.<\/p>

      For smile makeover and full-arch cases, she works closely with the restorative team to ensure that the gums, implants and final ceramic restorations are planned together. This helps patients achieve a natural-looking result, avoiding the artificial \u201cTurkey teeth\u201d appearance that has become so common online.<\/p>

      Every aesthetic and implant case is carefully reviewed before treatment begins, with attention to gum levels, smile line, bone support and long-term maintenance. Patients are guided through the plan step by step before any clinical procedure starts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
