Patient Experience
I'm 78 and terrified of dentists after a bad experience decades ago. My daughter practically dragged me to Dr. Deveci for a loose bridge. He didn't just look at my teeth; he saw my fear. He spent the first 15 minutes just talking to me about my garden, showing me every tool with a gentle explanation. The procedure was for a new implant-supported bridge, which sounded complex, but he used a guided surgery technique he called 'keyhole.' No pain, no drama. At my follow-up, he remembered the names of my roses. He treated my anxiety with as much care as my gums. Zekeriyakoy Center feels more like a calm home than a clinic.
Our 8-year-old son, Leo, chipped his front tooth on the playground swing. Panic! We rushed to the emergency dental service. Dr. Nuri was calm amidst our chaos. He didn't just fix the tooth with a composite bond that looks perfect; he turned it into an adventure for Leo. He let Leo choose the 'tooth color' from a shade guide, calling it 'selecting his superhero tooth armor.' He explained everything to Leo in dinosaur terms ('we're building a fort for your tooth!'). Now Leo actually asks when his next check-up is. Dr. Deveci didn't perform a simple repair; he removed a child's fear for life.
I needed a full-mouth rehabilitation—a daunting phrase. Years of neglect, several missing molars, and failing old work. Other dentists presented overwhelming, invasive plans. Dr. Deveci's approach was methodical and collaborative. He used a 3D digital smile design first, so I could see the potential outcome before we even started. The surgery was staged over a few months: sinus lifts, strategic implants, and finally, the zirconia bridges. The coordination was military-precise. At each follow-up, the focus was on my comfort and function, not just aesthetics. The result is incredible, but the truly unique part was the journey—never rushed, never scary, always transparent.
Routine check-up? Not quite. I went in for a cleaning and mentioned an occasional click in my jaw. Dr. Deveci did a full TMJ assessment, which no dentist ever had. He diagnosed a mild disc displacement and proposed a conservative, non-surgical plan: a custom-made night guard and some simple physio exercises. He didn't dismiss it as 'just stress.' A month later, the clicking is gone, and my morning headaches have vanished. It was a 'routine' visit that addressed a problem I'd learned to live with. His thoroughness turns check-ups into genuine health discoveries. The administrative team even sent a gentle reminder text for my exercise routine!
