What patients report about Clinic Mja
Patients at Clinic Mja report specific problems including unnecessary or fabricated treatment plans, with one reviewer stating they were told they had "4 cavities (2 of them urgent)" only for a second opinion to find "no problems." Another recurring issue is poor implant work leading to complications, as one reviewer describes "large food particles started accumulating" after an implant, and the clinic allegedly attempted to "cover up their incompetence" with a bridge solution. Additionally, reviewers cite significant appointment delays, such as being made to "wait until 6 PM" for a 5:30 PM booking, and a general perception that the clinic prioritises "commercial concerns" over patient care.
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 Clinic Mja 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 Clinic Mja's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I had dental work done at this clinic before. I had root canals and fillings. The last time I went, two wisdom teeth were extracted. One was partially impacted, the other normal.

"If you look at the reviews and see the "Lowest Price," you'll see everything. Don't choose them; I think they only have commercial concerns. Absolutely do not get veneers or zirconium crowns done there. If you do, get a written warranty. Exactly 1 year and 5 months ago, the zirconium crowns they mad"

"Despite managing to get time off from work and arriving 10 minutes early for my 5:30 PM appointment in this heat to avoid keeping the doctor waiting, they made me wait until 6 PM. Even though I arrived after them, they said the patient they saw before me was having their procedure delayed. To avoid "

"They did an implant. Large food particles started accumulating in the area where they did it. I went back, and they tried to cover up their incompetence by saying they would do a bridge for the adjacent teeth. I lost two teeth for no reason. One doctor stopped halfway through to cut the tooth and sa"

"They told me I had 4 cavities (2 of them urgent) and needed fillings immediately. I wasn't sure. I went to another doctor with my dental X-ray. They said I had no problems. A long time has passed since then, and the situation hasn't changed. I don't recommend them. Be careful!!!"
