BASHAR SHDAYDA

As a passionate dental technician in the United Arab Emirates, I blend artistry and technology to craft optimized dental solutions. With certifications in both chair-side and laboratory procedures, I’ve honed my skills through a diploma from Damascus University and advanced training with the International Team for Implantology (ITI).


My journey in the dental field has led me to oversee implant planning for ITI privileges in the UAE, where I also train professionals on the CoDiagnostiX planning software by Straumann. With experiences spanning courses in the UAE, Switzerland, and more, I bring a global perspective to my work.


Currently, I serve as a trainer and solutions consultant for a leading company, and I’m proud to hold the Straumann SIAB (Smile In A Box) certification. My commitment to innovation in dental implantology drives me to continuously elevate the standard of care.
