What patients report about Bahar Doğan Dental Clinic
Patients report that the clinic operates as a "dental mill" with extreme sales pressure and bullying tactics. Reviewers also state that the final payment requested is "always more than" the initial quote, and that the clinic failed to refund for treatment not received, such as two E-max crowns that were paid for but not fitted.
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 Bahar Doğan Dental Clinic 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 Bahar Doğan Dental Clinic's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I had the worst experience of my life with this clinic.

"I would not recommend the Bahar Dogan Clinic based on my experience. I was quoted for 24 E-max crowns but only ended up receiving 22. The clinic agreed to refund me for the two crowns I didn't need, but I still haven't received my money. It's now been over a month. They also promised to cover the co"
