What patients report about Dt. Baran Arslan
Patients at "Dt. Baran Arslan" report serious clinical failures and a lack of professional care. Specific issues include implants and screws failing and coming out on their own, as well as claims that root canal treatment was not actually performed, with one reviewer stating they "just covered my tooth with very low-quality materials, which led to tooth loss." Reviewers also describe a difficult and prolonged tooth extraction, noting the surgeon seemed "quite inexperienced," and a separate instance where a cosmetic filling turned yellow.
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 Dt. Baran Arslan 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 Dt. Baran Arslan's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"They are complete scammers. They claimed to have performed root canal treatment, but they didn't. They just covered my tooth with very low-quality materials, which led to tooth loss. Never go there just because it's affordable; it's a terrible and dirty place, and their doctors are very incompetent."

"I had the most difficult tooth extraction experience of my life here. The doctor is a surgeon, but quite inexperienced, and it was obvious. They extracted two teeth in about an hour, and it was very difficult and painful for me. They said they cleaned my tooth very well because it was infected and t"
