What patients report about Caddenova
Patients report that treatment results fail shortly after completion, with one reviewer stating their "tooth broke shortly afterward." There are also complaints about unexpected upfront charges, such as being "immediately charged 50 Lira for the examination," and a lack of clear pricing, as the clinic cannot "give a price over the phone." Furthermore, reviewers describe post-treatment complications like "gums swelled and oozed with inflammation" and a failure to address issues when the original dentist is unavailable.
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 Caddenova 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 Caddenova's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"A few months ago, I had dental work done by Dr. Furkan at Caddenova Dental in Caddebostan, but my tooth broke shortly afterward. When I went back to the clinic, Dr. Furkan wasn't there, so I was directed to another doctor named Fatih. When I told him my tooth was broken, he said, "It's not broken," "

"They can't even give a price over the phone for a procedure like tartar removal; their logic is, you have to come in, get examined first, and then we'll give you a price accordingly. Okay, there are differences from tooth to tooth, but it's just tartar removal, and every place I've been to has a fix"

"I went to this clinic with high hopes, but it was a disappointment. I went because my tooth filling was worn down. They immediately took an X-ray, but I didn't want one because I already had an X-ray. They just sat me down in a chair. A sweet lady came, I thought she was an assistant, but she looked"

"Upon entering, you're greeted at the counter on the left by an unintelligible, guttural person who immediately charges 50 Lira for the examination. The doctors themselves are friendly and attentive. However, the instrument they used for the examination was dirty and smelled bad; you could see its br"

"When I went, my tooth was aching after root canal treatment and filling cleaning. Now my whole jaw hurts. On the first day, my gums swelled and oozed with inflammation. What kind of cleaning and treatment is that? When I went back later, I told them I was working at a very busy pace, so they kept po"
