What patients report about Dent 216
Specific recurring problems at this clinic include **unreliable treatment** and **unexpected price increases**. One reviewer reported that a broken filling was only patched rather than replaced, and the patch "fell out in less than 3 months," while another stated the clinic "increased the prices considerably" from what was initially discussed. Additionally, reviewers describe **poor appointment management**, with one noting they were made to "wait 40 minutes" despite having a booked slot.
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 Dent 216 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 Dent 216's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"They increased the prices considerably. Although they are still reasonable compared to foreign currencies, we turned to alternatives in Kadikoy."

"I went for a broken filling, and instead of removing it and redoing it, they did a patch, and the patch fell out in less than 3 months. Despite the patch being done and no anesthesia being used, they charged the normal filling fee. I am not satisfied."
