What patients report about Bravodent International
Patients at Bravodent International report that the **online or phone quote differs significantly from the price charged on arrival**, with one reviewer stating they were "quoted double the estimated price." Another recurring issue is **poor follow-through and negligence**, where a consultant "doesn't follow through properly" and patients travel only to find the procedure cannot be completed. Reviewers also describe the clinic as prioritising payment over patient welfare, calling it a place that is "a huge fan of getting your money, zero care about your health."
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 Bravodent International 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 Bravodent International's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"A place where a consultant doesn't follow through properly, and after traveling for miles, you learn that the transaction can't be completed because of their own negligence. I don't recommend it."
