What patients report about Doğa Diş
Patients at Doğa Diş report significant issues with **poor timekeeping and long waiting times**, with one reviewer stating they "waited for hours" despite arriving early. There are also recurring complaints about **dental work failing**, such as a veneer falling off and a filling falling out, with one reviewer calling the clinic "a joke" after their veneer broke. Additionally, reviewers describe **unexpected costs**, including one instance where a quote for three veneers was given at "18,000 TL," which was almost three times the expected amount.
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 Doğa Diş 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 Doğa Diş's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

They told us the veneer was broken and quoted us 18,000 TL for three veneers, almost throwing them away. We went to Çekmeköy Dental Hospital, where we have insurance, and they said there w"

"This is an institution where dentists are not on time for appointments. Thank you, Mr. Koray, for your response. I visited your institution twice.

"It's unbelievable that the filling they did two years ago and the veneer they applied to another tooth fell out. Don't get any procedures done here, it's a joke.
