What patients report about DoğuDent
Patients report multiple specific failures at DoğuDent. A recurring problem is the poor quality of restorative work, with one reviewer stating they "could not use the fillings even for 3 years" and that bridgework was "very incom[plete]". Another common complaint involves a dismissive and unprofessional attitude from staff, with one reviewer describing the "unpleasant and dismissive attitude of Clinic Coordinator Nuray İmamoğlu," and others noting that patients "end up going back repeatedly for the same dental treatment."
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 DoğuDent 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 DoğuDent's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"We were very pleased with Dr. Oğuzhan Bey's tooth extraction. However, we were shocked by the unpleasant and dismissive attitude of Clinic Coordinator Nuray İmamoğlu, who told us, "You've behaved very rudely," when we respectfully inquired about the high price difference. Our aim was not to get a di"

"Terrible, definitely not a dentist to go to. They don't do professional work; you'll end up going back repeatedly for the same dental treatment. It's better not to go at all. Dr. Zeynep İpek, in particular, seems determined to get you out of here as quickly as possible without doing any work, rather"

"I received treatment in 2021. I was not satisfied with the doctor, Ms. Ayşe, from whom I received treatment. I could not use the fillings even for 3 years. The teeth used in the bridge were very incompatible in terms of color. I am receiving treatment from another doctor again."

"I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CLINIC! I went to this clinic for a wisdom tooth extraction, and on Saturday, April 1st, a doctor named Enes Doğukan Turan attempted the extraction. For three days now, I've been writhing in pain. He forced the extraction on me for 2.5 hours, using three anesthet"

"I was going there for my two children. There are about 10 fillings and other procedures. It's interesting that they don't give an average price for just the baby tooth fillings. Our time is just as valuable as yours. Even if you quoted 500/800 for a fixed price, I would understand that it varies dep"

How to compare Taki Dent and DoğuDent fairly
DoğuDent is a verified dental clinic in Ümraniye, 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.
What Taki Dent brings
Taki Dent holds Turkish Ministry of Health (International Health Tourism authorised) accreditation, uses Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant systems, is led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr. Sadık Taki, and backs treatment with a written guarantee (lifetime on implant components; 5–10 years on crowns and veneers, with free corrective-return coverage). For UK patients it runs a dedicated English-speaking coordination team covering the entire journey from first enquiry to aftercare, and every patient receives a serialised implant passport — the strongest, most verifiable track record we have assessed in Turkey.
What to verify with DoğuDent
Before booking with DoğuDent — or any clinic where independent review data is limited — confirm in writing the treating dentist's qualifications, the exact implant and crown brands, a full itemised quote, and the written guarantee terms. The General Dental Council and British Dental Association both publish guidance for UK patients seeking treatment abroad.
Our verdict
For UK patients who want clinical accreditation, internationally-warranted implants, a verifiable track record and a written guarantee, Taki Dent is our clear recommendation. If you are considering DoğuDent, use our verified listing and the checklist above to do your due diligence before you commit.
