What patients report about Emident
Based on the reviews, patients report that the clinic’s work fails shortly after treatment, with one reviewer stating their tooth “came out in the third month, and then it came out again.” Another reviewer claims the person performing implant procedures “isn't a surgeon,” and that the clinic takes money upfront only to demand “more payments” later. Additionally, a patient who received a root canal and crown from “Ms. Emine” reported that the tooth later “developed an abscess and swelled up.”
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 Emident 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 Emident's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Not a place I would recommend at all! The person performing the implant procedures, claiming to be a surgeon, isn't a surgeon!

"I do not recommend getting root canal treatment from Ms. Emine. She performed a root canal treatment and crowned one of my teeth, and after a while, that tooth developed an abscess and swelled up.

"They used fancy words to fix the tooth, but the tooth came out in the third month, and then it came out again at different times. I went back, they reattached it, but then they said it couldn't be reattached anymore and an implant was necessary. When I said it hadn't even been two years since I had "
