Dr. Egemen Sezen

As an 82-year-old with significant dental anxiety from past experiences, I was terrified of needing a full-mouth reconstruction. Dr. Sezen didn't just see teeth—he saw a person. He spent our first consultation explaining how my chewing difficulties were affecting my nutrition, not just my smile. His team created a phased treatment plan that considered my pacemaker, and he personally called my cardiologist. The surgery itself was in a state-of-the-art theater with cardiac monitoring. Six months later, I'm eating apples for the first time in a decade. His follow-up protocol—including home care visits from his hygienist—shows commitment beyond the clinic.

Our 7-year-old son fractured his front tooth in a playground fall at 6 PM on a Friday. The emergency line at Acibadem Altunizade connected us directly to Dr. Sezen, who met us at the hospital within 45 minutes. He didn't just repair the tooth; he turned trauma into triumph. He showed my son the 'tooth camera' images, let him choose a superhero flavor for the anesthetic gel, and used temporary bonding that preserved the nerve. What stunned us was the Monday morning follow-up call from his assistant to check on our son's comfort. Pediatric dentistry that treats the child, not just the chart.

I'm a professional wind instrumentalist—my teeth are my livelihood. A misdiagnosed root canal by another dentist left me with chronic pain that threatened my career. Dr. Sezen approached it like a forensic investigation: 3D CBCT scans, bite pressure analysis, even reviewing videos of my embouchure. He discovered a microscopic fracture in the root that everyone else missed. His solution wasn't extraction but a precision apical surgery using microscopic techniques. The surgery took three hours; he played classical music and explained each step. I was back to rehearsals in 10 days. This wasn't dentistry—it was anatomical restoration.

What began as a routine cleaning revealed unexpected bone loss. Dr. Sezen's approach was methodical: genetic susceptibility testing, sleep study referral (turns out I grind due to apnea), and microbiome analysis of my gum bacteria. He created a 'dental health roadmap' with quarterly laser maintenance instead of aggressive surgery. His clinic uses AI monitoring of my at-home scans—I upload images via an app, and his team tracks millimeter changes. Yesterday, I received an alert about improved gum density. This is predictive, personalized dentistry that prevents problems rather than just fixing them. He's redefined what 'routine care' means.
