M.D. Aslı Yetğın Yazar

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. Aslı approached me with such gentle patience. She didn't just jump to solutions; she spent time understanding my fears and the practical problems I faced. She recommended and performed an implant-supported overdenture procedure. The entire process at Acibadem Kozyatagi was explained in simple terms, and the sedation option was a godsend. For the first time in decades, I can eat an apple without worry. Her follow-up calls to check on my adjustment period showed care beyond the clinic. She restored more than my teeth; she restored my confidence at this stage of life.

Our 8-year-old son, Kerem, fell during a school play and completely avulsed his front tooth. It was pure panic. We rushed to Acibadem Kozyatagi's emergency dental service. Dr. Aslı Yetğın Yazar was calm and decisive amidst our chaos. She re-implanted the tooth swiftly, explaining each step to Kerem in a way that fascinated rather than frightened him—she called it a 'tooth rescue mission.' Her ability to connect with a terrified child was remarkable. Over the following months, she managed the root canal and splinting with meticulous follow-ups, always making Kerem feel like a partner in his own treatment. What could have been a permanent dental disaster is now just a story, thanks to her expertise in pediatric dental trauma.

As a musician who plays wind instruments, my dental anatomy is part of my craft. I needed a complex full-mouth rehabilitation due to severe erosion and old, failing restorations. This wasn't just about function or aesthetics; it was about preserving the precise embouchure I've developed over 30 years. Dr. Aslı approached my case like an architect and an artist. She used digital smile design and mock-ups, collaborating with me to ensure the new crowns and veneers wouldn't alter my playing. The surgery was extensive, but her planning was flawless. The result is breathtaking—my teeth are healthy and beautiful, and more importantly, my clarinet feels perfectly natural in my mouth. She treats the whole patient, not just the mouth.

I came in for what I thought was a routine checkup and cleaning, mentioning minor sensitivity. Dr. Aslı's thorough examination revealed a deeply cracked molar with no visible signs—something my previous dentist had missed. She explained the 'cracked tooth syndrome' with 3D imaging, showing me the hidden fracture line. Her recommendation was a precise, minimally invasive endodontic surgery to save the tooth rather than an immediate extraction. The procedure was done with a surgical microscope, and I felt virtually no discomfort afterward. This experience transformed my view of dental care from reactive to preventive and precise. Her diagnostic acumen turned a potential tooth loss into a saved, fully functional tooth. She is a true specialist who looks beyond the obvious.
