What patients report about Ege Estetik
Patients at Ege Estetik report persistent issues with appointment scheduling, describing that the clinic "absolutely never adhere to appointment times, making you wait at least half an hour." Reviewers also highlight a lack of price transparency, with one stating that staff "didn't tell me the price beforehand" and "forced me to pay," while another recounts a manager responding condescendingly with "Oh, I guess you can't afford it" when a quote was questioned. Additionally, the environment is described as "extremely crowded, like a state hospital," suggesting a high-volume, impersonal setting.
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 Ege Estetik 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 Ege Estetik's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"First of all, the cleaning and reception staff were quite good.

"When we tried to get a price quote for my mother's implant, the person who introduced herself as the manager laughed and said condescendingly, "Oh, I guess you can't afford it," when I pointed out the high price. When I yelled at her about her attitude, hospital staff started to confront us. This is"

"They absolutely never adhere to appointment times, making you wait at least half an hour. This wasn't just a one-time occurrence; it happened every time we came. It's extremely crowded, like a state hospital. I don't recommend it."

"If you want to be ripped off, go there. My daughter only had a filling done, they didn't tell me the price beforehand, they just gave her the paper when I left and forced me to pay 11,000 TL. It's a total rip-off, I'm not satisfied at all 😡 What does 11,000 TL for a filling even mean?"
