Dr Zerrin Engin Bakkal — restoratif ve estetik diş hekimi, GC Clinic Nişantaşı

Dr Zerrin Engin Bakkal is a graduate of the Faculty of Dentistry at Marmara University and has been in continuous clinical practice since 1995 — close to thirty years of uninterrupted experience. She joined the GC Clinic team in 2026.

Her clinical focus is restorative dentistry, cosmetic treatment, preventive care and maintaining gum health: fillings and crowns, cosmetic bonding, scaling and periodontal maintenance protocols — meticulous, consistent care that keeps her patients’ oral health sound over the long term.

The most valuable skill thirty years brings is an eye for diagnosis: telling which tooth should be monitored, which restored and which referred to a specialist. She is a member of the Turkish Dental Association (TDB).

Clinical focus

Dt. Bakkal hangi tedavileri üstlenir?

Restorative dentistry

Treating decay, cosmetic composite fillings, inlay and onlay restorations and crowns. Restorations use Ivoclar composites and ceramics produced in our in-house laboratory.

Cosmetic treatment

Cosmetic bonding, adjusting tooth colour and composite corrections in the smile zone — following our conservative principle, leaving sound tissue untouched.

Preventive care

Regular check-ups, assessment of decay risk and early diagnosis; catching problems while they are small is the main lesson of thirty years in practice.

Gum health and maintenance

Scaling, non-surgical treatment of gum disease and maintenance protocols; she also runs the annual check-ups required by our guarantee.

Her role at GC Clinic

Two clinicians, one file, a clear division of work.

At GC Clinic the person responsible for each case is clear: treatment planning, endodontics, implant-supported prostheses and smile design are the responsibility of Clinical Director, Specialist Dentist G. Cansu Öztürk; restorative treatment, preventive care and periodontal maintenance are carried out with Dr Zerrin Engin Bakkal. The two clinicians work on the same digital file — the patient does not explain twice, and the plan is not split in two.

The brand of every material used is documented in writing; restorations carry a 5-year written guarantee.

Her approach is the same as the clinic’s: every case begins with an independent clinical assessment, and treatment is planned around the patient’s real condition rather than a standard protocol. “Thirty years in practice teaches you to start afresh with every patient. No two mouths are alike — and no two treatment plans should be either.”

Accuracy in diagnosis: which tooth should be monitored, which restored and which needs a specialist — that judgement comes from a clinician who has seen thousands of cases. Avoiding unnecessary treatment is part of that experience too.

Why do check-up appointments matter?

Garanti belgemizin geçerlilik şartı yıllık kontroldür; asıl kazanç ise erken teşhistir — küçükken yakalanan sorun daha az müdahale, daha az maliyet demektir. Kontrol ve idame randevularını Dt. Bakkal yürütür.
