Dr. Zerrin Engin Bakkal — restorative and aesthetic dentist, GC Clinic Istanbul

Dr. Zerrin Engin Bakkal graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry and has been in continuous clinical practice since 1995 — close to three decades of uninterrupted experience. She joined the GC Clinic team in 2024.

Her clinical focus is restorative dentistry, aesthetic procedures, preventive care and gum health: fillings and crowns, aesthetic bonding, professional cleaning and periodontal maintenance — the meticulous, regular dentistry that keeps patients’ oral health stable in the long run.

Member of the Turkish Dental Association (TDB).

Clinical focus

What Dr. Bakkal undertakes.

Restorative dentistry

Caries treatment, aesthetic composite fillings, inlay-onlay restorations and crowns, using Ivoclar composites and ceramics produced in our in-house laboratory.

Aesthetic procedures

Aesthetic bonding, shade corrections and composite refinements in the smile zone — with the same conservative principle: healthy tissue is left untouched.

Preventive care

Regular check-ups, caries-risk assessment and early diagnosis — catching problems while they are small.

Gum health & maintenance

Professional cleaning, non-surgical periodontal therapy and maintenance protocols; she also carries out the annual check-ups that keep your written warranty valid.

Her role at GC Clinic

Two dentists, one file, clear division of work.

Treatment planning, endodontics, implant-supported prosthetics and smile design are led by Clinical Director Dr. G. Cansu Öztürk; restorative treatments, preventive care and periodontal maintenance are carried out with Dr. Zerrin Engin Bakkal. Both dentists work on the same digital file — you never explain twice, and your plan is never split.

Her approach mirrors the clinic’s: every case starts with an independent assessment, and treatment is planned around your actual condition rather than a standard protocol. “Thirty years of practice teaches you to start fresh with every patient. No two mouths are the same — and no two treatment plans should be either.”
