What patients report about DOC (Fethiye)
Patients report inconsistent pricing, with one reviewer stating the clinic "applies double standards" and charges a different price for Turkish patients compared to foreign patients. Several reviewers also describe substandard clinical outcomes, including a root canal treatment with an "improper fi" (likely improper filling) and a jaw Botox injection that "had no effect." Additionally, a reviewer noted a rushed 10-minute cleaning that left "no feeling of cleanliness afterwards."
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 DOC (Fethiye) 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 DOC (Fethiye)'s guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

The doctor also found decay on two teeth, she pointed out which ones. Very persistently tried to sign me up for their treatment. But I "

"I received root canal treatment 2 months ago. I was not satisfied. Pelinsu Hanım performed the root canal. Thank you for her meticulousness and care. Köksal Bey did the filling.

"This business applies double standards; they charge one price if you're Turkish and another if you're foreign. When you ask why, they say it's necessary, with no justification or explanation. From today onwards, I will absolutely not recommend this business to my wife or friends."

"I'm commenting as a healthcare professional. There are assistants in the clinic who don't even know how to hold an aspirator, and doctors whose faces fall when you offer a suggestion. It's very strange. A retainer, even with a discount, shouldn't cost 3400 lira just for the lower jaw; it's excessive"

How to compare Taki Dent and DOC fairly
DOC is a verified dental clinic in Fethiye, Muğla, listed in our directory from public Google Business data. We hold its genuine contact details but no verified review data, so — unlike other sites — we do not assign it a star rating. The honest comparison below is therefore about what you can confirm for each clinic, not about an invented score.
What Taki Dent brings
Taki Dent holds Turkish Ministry of Health (International Health Tourism authorised) accreditation, uses Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant systems, is led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr. Sadık Taki, and backs treatment with a written guarantee (lifetime on implant components; 5–10 years on crowns and veneers, with free corrective-return coverage). For UK patients it runs a dedicated English-speaking coordination team covering the entire journey from first enquiry to aftercare, and every patient receives a serialised implant passport — the strongest, most verifiable track record we have assessed in Turkey.
What to verify with DOC
Before booking with DOC — or any clinic where independent review data is limited — confirm in writing the treating dentist's qualifications, the exact implant and crown brands, a full itemised quote, and the written guarantee terms. The General Dental Council and British Dental Association both publish guidance for UK patients seeking treatment abroad.
Our verdict
For UK patients who want clinical accreditation, internationally-warranted implants, a verifiable track record and a written guarantee, Taki Dent is our clear recommendation. If you are considering DOC, use our verified listing and the checklist above to do your due diligence before you commit.
