What patients report about Dt. Emre Aldoğan
Patients at this clinic report significant issues with appointment scheduling and time management, with one reviewer stating they were "kept waiting 45-50 minutes" and could not reach the clinic to book. A recurring problem involves incomplete or failed orthodontic treatment, including braces being removed while gaps remained open and retainers not being fitted, which one reviewer claims led to their teeth deteriorating. Reviewers also describe a lack of follow-through on treatment plans, such as the initial timeline for braces being extended from 15 months with "no improvement," and a perceived loss of "business ethics" regarding pricing.
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 Dt. Emre Aldoğan 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 Dt. Emre Aldoğan's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I met Mr. Emre through a friend 3 years ago and decided to have him fit my braces. Throughout the process, he was incredibly helpful, corrected things I didn't like, and was always kind to me. Thank you for everything 🥺"

"My teeth deteriorated because retainers weren't fitted. While undergoing elastic band treatment, I mentioned I had a loose tooth, and then the braces were removed even though I still had open gaps. A regular dentist showed me an X-ray, saying I'd lost my original tooth due to excessive stress. I'm a"

"Alpdent Dental Group Orthodontic and Implant Center has lost its former friendliness and business ethics. It has transformed into a place where they might tell you the price they gave you two days ago, "That was a mistake, it's actually this much," and then say they'll charge a commission if you pay"
