What patients report about Egem Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Polikliniği
Patients at this clinic report two specific recurring problems. Firstly, the price quoted over the phone differs from the amount charged on arrival, with one reviewer noting they were quoted "around 1000 TL for a tooth extraction" but were then charged "around 1500 TL". Secondly, root canal treatments are frequently botched, with reviewers stating the procedure was rushed and incomplete, leaving "half the root... empty", which led to subsequent infection and "hot-burning pain for two weeks".
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 Egem Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Polikliniği 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 Egem Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Polikliniği's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I went for root canal treatment, and they finished it quickly in one session. They didn't even go all the way to the root; half the root was empty. It ached and I had hot-burning pain for two weeks. Luckily, I went to my old dentist who lives out of town, and they completed it properly. Your experie"

"When I called, they quoted a price of around 1000 TL for a tooth extraction, but when I went there, the price was around 1500 TL. Really impressive! And they also charge an examination fee; none of my other dental clinics charge an examination fee. I didn't like it at all."

"I was very dissatisfied. I went for root canal treatment and filling, but after the treatment, my tooth became infected. I had to go back and forth for 3 months. To be honest, my tooth is in terrible condition, and I wasted my money."
