What patients report about Denta Çınar
Patients at Denta Çınar report serious issues with the competence of specific practitioners, particularly Dr. Ahmet Güngör. Reviewers describe work that fails clinically, such as a filling that led to a patient needing another doctor who found "there's still" decay, and an extraction described as "worse than those of a newly graduated dentist." Another reviewer states that a dentist "cut her healthy teeth like matchsticks" during a denture procedure, indicating a pattern of poor clinical outcomes and a lack of skill.
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 Denta Çınar 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 Denta Çınar's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I had a filling done by Dr. Ahmet Güngör a couple of months ago. Two weeks later, my tooth started aching again, so I had to take it to another doctor nearby. He took an X-ray and said, "There's still decay under your tooth; it's just been covered up, the decay hasn't been cleaned out!" He specifica"

"I went for a filling for my 8-year-old son. You know, even we adults are scared; we have a fear of dentists. Even though my son is a very calm child, the mint-flavored liquid they sprayed in his mouth bothered him, and he wanted to spit it out. We were then confronted by a doctor who threatened to p"

"Despite claiming to be a dentist with 30 years of experience, Dr. Ahmet Güngör's work and performance were worse than those of a newly graduated dentist. I had my wisdom tooth extracted, and he ruined everything; my neck swelled up to my waist, and the pain was unbearable. After a 35-minute extracti"

"When we took my mother to Dr. Elif for dentures, she handed her over to a so-called dentist who was incompetent, even though we told her we came to her.
