What patients report about Dentalis Ankara
Patients at Dentalis Ankara report severe and persistent communication failures, with multiple reviewers stating they received no response to appointment requests for weeks. One reviewer noted their appointment was "canceled last minute not once but twice," causing significant disruption to their limited time in the city. Additionally, a reviewer reported a lack of informed consent, stating the clinic "didn't tell me this was possible beforehand" regarding their child developing canker sores after treatment.
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 Dentalis Ankara 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 Dentalis Ankara's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Appointment canceled last minute not once but twice. Last minute cancelations/poor planning puts me in a difficult spot due to required dental services and my limited time in the city. Haven't been able to experience the actual dental services, I can not comment on that."

"I’ve tried to reach out the clinic multiple times through WhatsApp since 19 of March to make an appointment. Today is 15 of April and I still haven’t got an answer. Awful and disrespectful attitude to the clients."

"I regret to inform you that the family clinic, where I've trusted my patients for perhaps 15 years, is now over for me. Despite having an appointment, I was kept waiting for an hour, and the clinic has become one that can't even provide emergency transportation for its doctors. My dear Ayşe Hanım (t"
