What patients report about Dent Center Turkey
Patients at Dent Center Turkey report severe communication failures, with one reviewer stating the communication was **"the worst that I have ever had"** and another noting it is **"nonexistent"** with responses coming **"days later."** Multiple reviewers also allege a lack of professionalism and responsibility, with one claiming they were **"left with no teeth, and yet they don't take zero RESPONSIBILITY,"** while another warns that patients will be **"ripped off in every way."**
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 Center Turkey 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 Center Turkey's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"The communication with this clinic was the worst that I have ever had. Don't bother sending your x-rays and pictures. They will not give you a professional quote about your teeth. No matter the state of your teeth they will just send you a quote for 24 crowns. I did send them my x-rays, pictures... "

"Worst place EVER. Please don't GO there, don't let them touch your teeth, don't do Hollywood smile here. You will be left with no teeth, and yet they don't take zero RESPONSIBILITY.

"Honestly, anyone thinking of going to this place for dental work will regret it, just like I did. There's no professionalism, no good communication, no cleanliness, and you'll be ripped off in every way imaginable, from the receptionist to the doctor.

"Communication with this hospital is nonexistent. They respond days later, and the situation is much more complicated. I don't recommend it. Don't be fooled by the numerous advertisements; they're all paid for."
