What patients report about DENT KONAK
Patients at DENT KONAK report serious issues with clinical treatment, specifically that "they didn't clean the roots properly" during root canal work. Reviewers also describe a lack of empathy, with one noting that despite informing staff of a medical condition, "their approach was terrible" and there was "no sincerity whatsoever." Additionally, the clinic appears inflexible with scheduling, as one reviewer was told they "could only work by appointment" when attending for an urgent toothache.
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 KONAK 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 KONAK's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I chose this hospital based on reviews and was disappointed. Even though I informed them I suffer from panic attacks, their approach was terrible, there was no sincerity whatsoever, and the place had practically turned into a business.

"I'd give it a 0 if I could, that's how bad it is. When we had root canal treatment done, they didn't clean the roots properly, we really regret it."
