What patients report about Fatma İldem
Patients at Fatma İldem report being charged for services that were supposedly included in a prior agreement, with one reviewer stating they were "charged me for the consultation fee, even though we had an agreement beforehand." There are also serious complaints about the quality and longevity of the work, including fillings that "fall out after a year" and a root canal where the clinic "broken the file inside the tooth and never mentioned it," leading to infection and corrective surgery abroad. Additionally, reviewers describe the practice as "unprofessional" and "amateur," citing unexpected fees for basic procedures like examinations and X-rays.
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 Fatma İldem 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 Fatma İldem's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I went twice, and both times they charged me for the consultation fee, even though we had an agreement beforehand. They quoted a discounted price of 5500 TL for the treatment. No prescription was given, no X-rays were taken, and I wasn't told the consultation was invalid after a week. On top of that"

"I've never seen such an amateur and expensive place. They charged me 350 TL for a simple examination that only took 10 minutes. They even charge for the prescription, examination, and X-ray. The X-ray machine they use is from ancient times. Normally, when you go for an examination, they first take a"

"The fillings fall out after a year. Normally, a filling should last at least 10 years. These fillings are not long-lasting. Also, my wife suffered a lot of pain during the procedure. We had 5 fillings done. When one fell out, we went back and they blamed us. Now we are at another dental clinic, and "

"I had root canal and crown done here. I later found out that they had broken the file inside the tooth and never mentioned it to me.
