What patients report about Citydent Istanbul
Patients at Citydent Istanbul report that procedures are **"super rushed"** and poorly executed, with one reviewer noting a cleaning took **"a maximum of 10 minutes"** instead of the usual 30. Multiple reviewers describe their experience as the **"Worst experience in my life"** and the **"Worst experience ever,"** with one patient stating they had to seek corrective treatment from a dentist in their home country just four months later. Another reviewer also reported a serious complication, mentioning they experienced **"blood clottin front"** after treatment.
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 Citydent Istanbul 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 Citydent Istanbul's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
