Doğa Erginoğlu completed his dental degree at Ege University in İzmir. As a student he joined an exchange programme at the Faculty of Dentistry of Radboud University in the Netherlands, where he saw a different approach to clinical training at first hand.

After graduating he worked in Kuşadası, where treating patients from many countries taught him to listen carefully to expectations and to explain treatment plans in plain language. That experience is why he works with English-speaking patients with the same care today.

After moving to İstanbul he focused on digital dentistry, CAD/CAM restorations, porcelain veneers and smile design. In the practice he opened in Etiler in 2022, aesthetic and restorative work follows a workflow of intraoral scanning, digital design and 3D printing.

His approach to digital dentistry

Digital tools change how decisions are made more than the treatment itself. Records built from intraoral scans and photographs make it easier to look at the situation together on screen and compare options in concrete terms.

At the practice, digital impressions are taken with an intraoral scanner, smile planning uses photographs taken under standard lighting, and a desktop 3D printer can produce models, trials and trays. Not every tool is used in every case; what is needed depends on the treatment.

See the digital dentistry page for details.
