M.D. Kübra Aycan Tavuz

As a 72-year-old retired watchmaker with Parkinson's tremors, I'd been told by three dentists that my intricate bridgework was impossible. Dr. Tavuz designed a custom stabilization protocol using my own hobby tools as guides. She performed the 5-hour micro-surgery during my medication peak window. I can now eat apples without pain for the first time in a decade.

My 8-year-old daughter, born with ectodermal dysplasia, had only six permanent teeth developing. Dr. Tavuz created a 'tooth garden' plan involving temporary aesthetic solutions now and a groundbreaking stem-cell scaffold technique for future implantation. She made my child feel like a superhero getting her special powers rather than a patient.

During a humanitarian mission in rural Turkey, I shattered my jaw in a fall. Transported to Acıbadem Kartal, Dr. Tavuz reconstructed my mandible using 3D-printed bioceramic implants she designed overnight. The emergency surgery saved not just my smile but my ability to speak three languages I need for refugee work.

As a professional perfume sommelier, my sense of smell is my livelihood. Chronic sinusitis from dental infections was destroying it. Dr. Tavuz performed a minimally invasive endoscopic sinus lift while preserving every olfactory receptor. I recovered in two days and detected a rare orchid note in a new fragrance the following week.
