What patients report about DENT48
Patients report that the clinic sends them away after booking, claiming a lack of necessary materials despite having specified the procedure beforehand. One reviewer stated they were told the clinic "didn't have the necessary materials" and were dismissed due to other appointments. Additionally, reviewers describe significant, unwanted alterations to existing teeth during replacement work, with one noting the clinic "significantly altered the existing tooth underneath."
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 DENT48 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 DENT48's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
