What patients report about Dent İdea
Patients at Dent İdea report a lack of scheduled appointments, with one reviewer stating they "don't create appointments, they just say 'come on over'." There are also specific complaints about poor clinical outcomes, including a filling that broke within a year and a doctor who "brushed it off" when the patient reported discomfort. Additionally, reviewers describe being charged unexpectedly high fees, with one noting a bill of "4 or 5 thousand, maybe even more" for a child's filling.
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 İdea 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 İdea's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"We wanted to go once, but we will never go again. They work without appointments; they don't create appointments, they just say "come on over." My husband and I took time off from work to go, and they said, "Our doctor had an emergency today and wasn't available," leaving us in a difficult situation"

"I went to this fancy clinic complaining of severe pain, and they gave me an appointment for tooth extraction a week later. If you can tolerate toothaches and don't have time constraints, this is the place for you."

"My child was sick, so we had to go to the pediatrician. He said we should save the tooth and do a filling, that's how it should be done. We agreed. He charged 4 or 5 thousand, maybe even more. We went to another dentist, who extracted it and said it didn't look like anything he'd done... I called an"

"This is the first time I've seen a tooth with a filling break within a year. I had already told them I wasn't happy with the filling and that it was causing me discomfort, but the doctor brushed it off. A week later, I went back and said the filling was too high and uncomfortable, but again, nothing"

"A business that I went to upon recommendation but was not satisfied with. They certainly do a better job of squeezing people out than filling them in."
