What patients report about Dentavia
Patients report that the clinic's administrative staff are rude and unhelpful, with one reviewer describing being met with a "harsh tone" when scheduling. Another recurring problem is a lack of accountability and poor clinical outcomes, as reviewers state the clinic "didn't stand behind anything they did" and provided "wrong treatment" and unsatisfactory fillings that were "very deep, leaving a lot of residue."
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 Dentavia 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 Dentavia's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"The secretaries are very tense. When I called to schedule an appointment, I was met with a harsh tone. Moreover, this wasn't a one-off. When I asked if afternoon hours were available, I received an inappropriate response: "I only said these hours, ma'am." Besides that, their general attitude is hars"

"After two years of treatment, we were completely disappointed. They didn't stand behind anything they did, they didn't admit their mistakes, they provided wrong treatment, they weren't helpful... what more can I say? It's a great place to be humiliated despite paying for it."

"We arrived 15-20 minutes early for my wife's 1:30 PM appointment to avoid any issues. We waited. My daughter was curious because she'd never been to a dental clinic before, so we brought her along so she wouldn't feel out of place when we scheduled her appointment later. We wanted to see the same do"

"As someone who has had numerous fillings done before, the fillings performed by Dt. İrem are very deep, leaving a lot of residue. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied at all."
