My Story
My love for dentistry began in my third year of university when I first held composite material in my hands. I remember that magical feeling – how from a small piece of plastic mass you can recreate the natural beauty of a tooth. The first restoration I made under my professor's supervision took me 3 hours instead of the standard hour. But the result exceeded all expectations – the tooth looked as if nature itself had created it.
After university, I continued studying through numerous courses and masterclasses. Each new seminar opened up new possibilities and techniques for me. I was particularly captivated by the Lorenzo Vanini school and his approach to imitating natural textures. It was then that I realized I wanted to dedicate my life to aesthetic dentistry.
Today, with hundreds of successful restorations behind me, I still feel excitement before each new case. For me, there is no routine – every tooth is unique, every smile is special.
My Philosophy
The main principle of my work is 'minimum intervention, maximum aesthetics'. I deeply believe in a microinvasive approach that allows preserving the maximum amount of healthy tooth tissue. Instead of removing large volumes of enamel for crowns or veneers, I create composite restorations that fully restore function and aesthetics.
Each restoration for me is a dialogue with nature. I carefully study the tooth's anatomy, its natural color, transparency, surface texture. I use the layering technique of composite application to achieve natural color depth and light transmission.
I pay special attention to details: the surface microrelief that creates natural shine, the correct gingival contour, harmony with adjacent teeth. I believe that the true mastery of a dentist is manifested precisely in the details that make the restoration invisible.
For me, the most important thing is not just to treat a tooth, but to return the patient's confidence through a beautiful smile.
About Me Personally
Outside the dental chair, I am an ordinary woman with simple joys of life. I value most the time spent with family. My son is my greatest inspiration and source of strength. Watching him explore the world, his sincere childlike enthusiasm reminds me how important it is to maintain curiosity and passion for one's work.
I love quiet evenings with a good book in hand. I especially enjoy psychological novels and biographies of outstanding people – they help me better understand people, which is so important in working with patients. Reading for me is not just a hobby, but a way of constant self-development.
Our dog Kimerlee is a real family member. Morning walks with her have become a kind of meditation, a time when I can organize my thoughts before the working day. And evening walks help me 'disconnect' from work and switch to family mode.
My husband is my greatest support. He's not a dentist, but he always patiently listens to my stories about complex cases, rejoices in my professional successes and supports me in moments of doubt. Our shared evenings over a cup of tea, when we just talk about life, is my way of restoring energy.
I believe that harmony between professional and personal life makes me a better doctor. When you are happy and balanced, you can give much more to your patients.
