What patients report about ALTAN KLİNİK
Patients report that dental work fails prematurely, with one reviewer stating their "dental veneer... broke while I was brushing my teeth" despite a claimed 10-year lifespan. Another recurring issue is poor hygiene standards, described as "a very poor place in terms of hygiene," alongside unexpectedly high charges, such as being billed "8,000 TL" for a filling. Reviewers also specifically warn against bringing children, with one noting that staff "stubbornly refused to do a filling" for a child's cavity.
We quote the actual 1–2★ reviews below so you can verify each one yourself, and weigh them against a clinic with a clean record.
Who treats you — and who is accountable
The biggest divide in Turkish dentistry is whether a named specialist treats you start-to-finish, or your case is assigned within a rotating team. At Taki Dent, Prof. Dr. Sadık Taki — a specialist prosthodontist with 17 peer-reviewed publications and Turkish Dental Association membership — personally assesses, treats and follows up every case and stays reachable on WhatsApp, so the person who consents your plan is the one accountable for it. Ask ALTAN KLİNİK for the name of the individual dentist who will perform your surgery, and verify their register entry.
Guarantee & aftercare
Taki Dent's guarantee is written and tiered — a lifetime manufacturer warranty on implant components and a 5–10 year guarantee on crowns and veneers — and for a significant issue it covers a free return trip for corrective treatment, activated by the treating doctor himself. Every patient also receives a serialised implant passport. Get ALTAN KLİNİK's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I found this place when I searched for nearby dentists, then I took my child there. When the doctor asked how I found it, I explained, and he took my phone number, saying he could check it. While he was doing that, he asked me questions, and I answered them, as I couldn't remember them at first. The"

"My dental veneer, which was done 3 weeks ago, broke while I was brushing my teeth, even though the doctor said it would last 10 years. Don't be fooled by the high rating; it's been artificially boosted to get the best score. This place is terrible in terms of both hygiene and professionalism."

"First of all, it's a very poor place in terms of hygiene. I regretted it the moment I went there. I went because my dental filling fell out, and they charged me 8,000 TL. It was a place I had to go to because it was the weekend. The filling they said would last at least 2 years fell out after 2 week"

"Current review: DON'T TAKE YOUR CHILDREN THERE!!! I noticed my child's tooth problem in time and took him there, but they stubbornly refused to do a filling, saying it was a small cavity and a filling wouldn't hold. They said fluoride coating wouldn't make the cavity bigger and prevent new cavities "
