What patients report about Dent KM (Gaziemir)
Patients at Dent KM report concerns over unnecessary or incorrect procedures, with one reviewer stating they believe the clinic "pulled out a tooth that could have been saved." Another reviewer described experiencing "serious side effects from a procedure performed incorrectly," while a separate account alleges that the clinic charged for four fillings but "only 2 were done."
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 KM (Gaziemir) 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 KM (Gaziemir)'s guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"They said they would do 4 fillings and charge for 3, but only 2 were done and I paid 750 TL. Their goal was to turn the pandemic into an opportunity.

"It's a really expensive clinic. I went to get a filling for my child's tooth. They charged me 280 liras for a single filling. When I asked if the fee was too high, the staff member said it was a special filling, 250 liras for the filling and 30 liras for the medicine. By the way, I went because I ha"
