Dt. Akif Aydın Şen

I'm 78 and terrified of dentists after a bad experience decades ago. My dentures were causing painful sores and I could barely eat. Dr. Şen was the first to truly listen. He didn't just look at my gums; he asked about my diet, my arthritis, everything. He designed new, custom dentures in his Ankara Hospital lab with a softer base. The fitting process was gradual and gentle. Now I can enjoy simit again without pain! His patience with an anxious old man like me was extraordinary. He treats the whole person, not just the teeth.

Our 8-year-old son fell off his bike and chipped his front permanent tooth right before school pictures. We rushed to Acibadem in a panic. Dr. Akif Aydın Şen calmed us all down immediately. He had a way of talking directly to our son about 'tooth superheroes' and made the whole thing an adventure. The bonding he did is invisible! He even took an after-photo for my son to show his class. This wasn't just a repair; it was a crisis handled with such care that my son now says he wants to be a dentist. For a pediatric dental emergency, I cannot imagine anyone better.

I needed a full-mouth reconstruction after years of neglect and several failed implants elsewhere. My case was complex due to bone loss. Dr. Şen presented a detailed, phased 3D plan at Ankara Hospital, showing me exactly what would happen at each stage over a year. No sugar-coating. The sinus lift and zygomatic implants he performed were major surgeries, but his follow-up was relentless. He gave me his personal number for after-hours concerns. The result is not just functional; it's transformative. I smile with confidence for the first time in 20 years. This is artistry combined with surgical excellence.

As a musician who plays wind instruments, even minor dental work can affect my embouchure. I came for a routine cleaning and mentioned a slight discomfort. Dr. Şen, instead of a quick polish, did a complete occlusal analysis, filmed me playing a scale, and identified a tiny, premature contact. He performed a precise adjustment that took minutes. The difference in my playing comfort was immediate and profound. He understands that for some patients, teeth are tools for their livelihood. This level of thoughtful, investigative care during a standard checkup is why he's in a league of his own.
