Patient Experience
I'm a 72-year-old with a lifelong fear of dentists, stemming from a bad childhood experience. My lower denture had been unstable for years, making eating a chore. Dr. Tanriover didn't just see a set of teeth; he saw my quality of life. He proposed an All-on-4 implant procedure. His calm, grandfatherly explanation, showing me models and walking me through each step, dissolved my anxiety. The surgery at Medical Park Antalya was seamless. Now, I can bite into an apple for the first time in a decade. The follow-up care was meticulous. He didn't just restore my teeth; he restored my joy in simple meals.
Our 8-year-old son, Leo, took a bad fall off his scooter, completely avulsing his front permanent tooth. We were hysterical, thinking it was lost forever. We rushed to Medical Park Antalya. Dr. Tanriover met us with a stunningly calm urgency. He had us place the tooth in milk while he prepared. His team worked with incredible speed and precision to re-implant it. What struck us was how he simultaneously managed the high-stakes procedure and comforted our terrified child with a quiet, confident warmth. Six months later, with successful root canal treatment, the tooth is vital and healthy. He saved our son's smile in every sense.
As a professional musician who plays wind instruments, my dental architecture is part of my instrument. I needed a complex wisdom tooth extraction, but the root was dangerously close to a nerve. A standard extraction risked permanent numbness. Dr. Tanriover proposed a piezosurgery technique, using ultrasonic waves to cut bone with micron precision, sparing the nerve. The detail in his pre-op CBCT scan review was like a master strategist planning a campaign. The procedure was longer but felt like advanced engineering, not just surgery. I had zero nerve damage and minimal swelling. My embouchure was unaffected. This wasn't dentistry; it was performance-preserving microsurgery.
I visited for what I thought was a routine check-up and cleaning before my wedding. Dr. Tanriover spotted a subtle, shadowed area on a back molar X-ray that others had missed for years. He diagnosed a vertical root fracture, a silent disaster. He explained the tooth was non-restorable and needed extraction with immediate socket preservation for a future implant. He transformed my 'simple cleaning' into a critical, preemptive save. His approach was forensic and proactive. He performed the extraction and graft with such gentleness I barely needed painkillers. My wedding photos are perfect, and I'm now on a solid plan for an implant. He sees what others don't.
