What patients report about Dentagür
Patients at Dentagür report severe and persistent issues with appointment scheduling and communication. Reviewers describe being made to wait "at least an hour each time" despite having appointments, and one reviewer states that after disclosing their name, the clinic refused service because they were "not Turkish, you are a foreigner." Additionally, multiple reviewers criticise the phone manner of the staff, with one noting that the doctor "doesn't know how to talk on the phone at all."
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 Dentagür 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 Dentagür's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

★1 Berke Enes Tiken —
"You make us wait at least an hour each time, sometimes much longer. Why do you give appointments if you're not going to keep them? It's not just once or twice, it happens every time. Either your appointment system is disorganized or you're choosing your patients. My brother has already started treat"

"My Turkish friend called them to make an appointment and they said yes, but when I told them my name, they said you are not Turkish, you are a foreigner, so we will not make an appointment."
Verify on Trustpilot →★1 Özge Güneş —
"It would be great to have an assistant or secretary who knows how to talk on the phone, because you don't ask a customer "What's wrong?" and the doctor doesn't know how to talk on the phone at all, he's a complete novice."

"The strange woman who answers the phones urgently needs to improve her manner of speaking."
