What patients report about Dentistim
Patients at Dentistim report that dental work fails shortly after treatment, with fillings and crowns breaking and braces failing mid-treatment. Reviewers also describe poor clinical outcomes, including "Gaps between teeth," marks left on teeth, damaged gums, and a "noticeable color difference" on veneers. Additionally, patients mention that doctors leave mid-treatment and that the clinic provides only temporary fixes, forcing patients to "go to a real dentist to fix your teeth."
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 Dentistim 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 Dentistim's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"A completely inexperienced, unprofessional, and disrespectful clinic. I started orthodontic treatment here and had to stop just as I was nearing the end.

"I had some of my veneers done at Dentistim Oral and Dental Clinic in Çengelköy. While my treatment was ongoing, my doctor left.

"I can't blame the entire clinic, but the female doctor who examined me and did my veneers couldn't get the tooth color right. There's a noticeable color difference on one of my teeth.

How to compare Taki Dent and Dentistim fairly
Dentistim is a verified dental clinic in Üsküdar, İstanbul, listed in our directory from public Google Business data. We hold its genuine contact details but no verified review data, so — unlike other sites — we do not assign it a star rating. The honest comparison below is therefore about what you can confirm for each clinic, not about an invented score.
