What patients report about Eray Şahinsev
Patients report serious clinical failures, including a veneer that fell off immediately after fitting, which one reviewer (who is a dentist) described as falling off “before we even sat down for dinner.” Another reviewer suffered severe complications after an extraction, stating their “jawbone is immobile” and their mouth was “incapacitated for a week.” Additionally, reviewers cite significant administrative problems, such as a phone line that “keeps disconnecting” for international patients and confusion over the dentist’s day off, with one noting that “Mr. Eray has Tuesdays off.”
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 Eray Şahinsev 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 Eray Şahinsev's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I am a dentist. My sister-in-law's veneer fell off before we even sat down for dinner. Normally, I would reattach it the next day at my clinic, but because my sister-in-law had to go to work in the morning, we went to Eray Şahinsev's clinic, which is near our house. They charged 160 TL to reattach t"

"Based on the reviews, I thought it would be a good place and called. I live abroad and will be coming to Turkey for treatment. Despite calling repeatedly, the phone keeps disconnecting. I think this is a message to discourage me from going."

"You've cost three people two weeks of their plan. You should put in the same effort at the desk as your doctor does to make sure you're getting what you paid for. You call and ask what to do if we made a mistake. You have no intention of making amends. It's a shame."
