What patients report about Altes Diş Kliniği
Patients at this clinic report that root canal treatments fail quickly, with one reviewer stating "neither lasted even a year; my teeth had to be extracted." Reviewers also describe a pattern of poor follow-through, including the clinic going silent after a request for a follow-up ("they said they would get back to me, but they never did") and failing to return a deposit despite six months of chasing. Additionally, the work is described as rushed, with one patient calling a teeth cleaning a "half-hearted effort" as if the "consultant was in a hurry to finish up."
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 Altes Diş Kliniği 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 Altes Diş Kliniği's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"We got teeth cleaning services from them today. It was disappointing half-hearted effort, like consultant was in a hurry to finish up the cleaning process. We initially thought it will get better after brushing teeth but upon coming home and seeing in detail, we could see deposits all over teeth. "
