What patients report about Dentavie
Patients at Dentavie report that the clinic provides rushed, superficial treatment, with one reviewer noting a cleaning that took "only 10 mins on each person" and another describing a "genigectomy, which lasted 10 minutes." Reviewers also state that the clinic "just mask the problem with the crowns" rather than resolving underlying dental health issues. Furthermore, communication is a significant problem, as reviewers report that staff "don't answer" questions, "speak superficially," and "don't return calls for days."
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 Dentavie 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 Dentavie's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"If you’re looking place to resolve your dental problems, this clinic is the wrong place. They won’t make your teeth healthy; they just mask the problem with the crowns. I made eight crowns and four veneers in this place. 2 months after treatment, 4 out of 8 crowns fell down! Moreover, all four teeth"

"Just over 120 euros for two people to get a teeth cleaning. They only took 10 mins on each person. Overpriced."
Verify on Trustpilot →★1 Rania Hajji —
"My husband and I both had procedures done; he had teeth whitening, which was reasonably priced and resulted satisfactorily. However, I went for a genigectomy, which lasted 10 minutes. I thought it would be a laser procedure, but it wasn't, and it cost me 455 euros for absolutely no visible results. "
Verify on Trustpilot →★1 Hami —
"I go for a checkup, ask questions, and they don't answer. They speak superficially and aren't very explanatory. I text them, and they don't return calls for days. They seem to treat foreign patients better. I expected them to be better at communicating."
