What patients report about Dükel
Patients at Dükel report significant problems with poor reception and rude staff, with one reviewer describing a "grumpy woman at the reception desk" who did not listen properly. Multiple reviewers also cite rushed or failed treatments, including a filling that "collapsed" two days later and a root canal that left the patient in pain. Additionally, reviewers mention unprofessional conduct such as demanding payment before any examination and failing to adhere to appointment times.
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 Dükel 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 Dükel's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"We went there for our child's dental problem, but before that we wanted to meet with Dr. Murat and ask him a few things. The grumpy woman at the reception desk, without properly listening and with an indifferent attitude, said they couldn't help us here and that we should go to another doctor, and b"

"It's truly a disgrace. I wanted to get a dental filling, but before I could even see the doctor, the woman at the reception desk rudely said an X-ray was necessary, but they couldn't check it. I said that's just how the system works. They charge 200 TL for the X-ray at the initial check-in, and then"

"I went to the dentist today after calling them. First, they asked for my ID. Without doing any check, the dentist automatically requested 200 TL. The decision to take an X-ray was made by the secretaries. You should immediately object to the requested X-ray (without the dentist seeing you). This wil"

"I went for root canal treatment and filling 5 months ago. Two days later, the filling collapsed. I have pain when I eat where the root canal was done, so I can't use my left side. I stopped the treatment halfway through. The female staff member who scheduled the appointment prioritized money; she wa"

"Not a penny's worth of attention; the management is arrogant and stuck-up. Furthermore, they don't adhere to appointment times. Despite being a private clinic, favoritism is rampant. In short, I wouldn't even give it one star; I wouldn't recommend it."

How to compare Taki Dent and Dükel fairly
Dükel is a verified dental clinic in Sultangazi, 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

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 Dükel
