What patients report about DENTTEK
Patients at DENTTEK report receiving incorrect or unnecessary treatments, such as undergoing a cleaning instead of a root canal, which caused "unbearable pain." Reviewers also describe significant communication issues, including being "kept waiting" for a consultation and being charged an unexpected additional fee for X-ray images after paying for the initial examination. Furthermore, one patient suffered severe post-treatment complications, reporting that their "cheek was incredibly swollen and bruised" after a root canal.
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 DENTTEK 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 DENTTEK's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"They charge 50 TL for the initial examination, but when I asked them to send the X-ray image via WhatsApp or email, they requested an additional 100 TL. This is something you need to know before going. The doctors might be good, but this practice is unacceptable."
