Şengül completed middle and high school at Ankara Yükseliş College, during which he became interested in advanced laboratory work at his father's lab. In 1996 he entered Yeditepe University Faculty of Dentistry; already in his first year he joined the Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry and focused his efforts in this field. In 2001 he graduated as one of the faculty's first alumni and, in the same year, was admitted to the Department of Prosthetic Dentistry at Marmara University, where he began his specialty and PhD training.
