What patients report about Bergama Dental
Patients report severe procedural incompetence, including a dentist who “couldn't remove what he placed in my mouth and struggled” during a filling. Reviewers also describe a complete breakdown in communication, stating that the clinic provides a WhatsApp number for contact but “they hang up” when called and ignore messages. Additionally, patients feel the clinic is either “satiated with money” or simply does not care about its patients.
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 Bergama Dental 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 Bergama Dental's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I went to the clinic without an appointment to discuss the procedure for my intense toothache and porosity renewal. They said we could wait a bit, so I said okay.

"In my opinion, it's either a business that's satiated with money, or one that doesn't care about its patients. They've put a WhatsApp number for contact. I call, but they hang up.
