What patients report about Maltepedent
Patients at Maltepedent report that procedures are left incomplete or fail shortly after treatment, with one reviewer stating their nephew’s “fillings fell out” post-operation. Reviewers also describe being overcharged, such as being billed “3000 lira just for tartar removal,” and allege that the clinic refuses refunds for unfinished work. Additionally, there are serious accusations of physical assault by staff and claims that the clinic’s information is based on “lies and misinformation.”
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 Maltepedent 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 Maltepedent's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

I asked for my X-rays so I could see another doctor, and they assaulted me to avoid giving them to me. By what right do they refuse"

"My nephew Ayaz had surgery, and after the operation, all the fillings fell out. The doctor couldn't decide whether it was a root canal or a dental filling, and because of this, the child suffered all day. Unfortunately, the doctor's inexperience caused a big problem. I definitely do not recommend hi"

"Even though I had other procedures done, they charged 3000 lira just for tartar removal. Anyone who wants to be ripped off can go there; the quality is zero, and the prices are exorbitant."

"DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT READING... I took my 5 year old son. They charged 50 THOUSAND TL for the surgery, he was taken in for the surgery based on the images saying 2 canals and 4 fillings.
