What patients report about Dent Mega
Patients at Dent Mega report that cosmetic fillings repeatedly fall out, with one reviewer stating they “fell out the next day” and again after a second visit. Reviewers also describe chaotic appointment scheduling, noting that “many people were given appointments at the same time,” leading to long waits, and a lack of professional care, with one patient feeling they were “in the hands of an apprentice.”
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 Mega 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 Mega's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

Since I live in Istanbul, I went back, and this time they fell out again after 2 months. They said they could fix it if I went back. I'm supposedly going from Istanbul to Izmir for d"

"I'm truly shocked. My 9-year-old nephew came from out of town. I asked if they could extract a tooth, and they said yes. They treated the child like a grown man, which is something you wouldn't even talk to an adult about! They scolded him and made him cry. Going to the dentist is already a nightmar"

"Two or three years ago, we chose this dentist because it was close to our home and we thought the doctors were good, and we had our mother's teeth done there. However, when I called to get a price quote for a teeth cleaning, they said they don't give prices over the phone. Teeth cleaning usually has"

"On May 16, 2020, we had an appointment at 10:00 AM, but because many people were given appointments at the same time, we waited until 11:00 AM, and when we asked about it, we were told we would be seen until 1:00 PM.

"I went for two separate procedures and I regret it! The procedures they performed were terrible! I didn't get any results and had to go somewhere else!
