What patients report about Göktürk DentistaGroup
Patients at Göktürk DentistaGroup report specific problems with painful root canal treatments and a refusal to provide emergency aftercare. One reviewer stated they "experienced a lot of pain during the process" of a root canal, while another described being turned away at 8 PM when they asked staff to trim their son's braces that were "digging into his lip," with the clinic refusing to help. Additionally, reviewers mention poor clinical outcomes, such as a periodontist leaving a patient with "no gum tissue left," and complaints about "exorbitant" 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 Göktürk DentistaGroup 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 Göktürk DentistaGroup's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I went for a repeat root canal treatment. I had been to other places to get quotes, but they were too high, so I chose this place. Initially, they quoted 3,000 TL, which I accepted, and they started the procedure. After the procedure, when I got home, my tooth broke. I went back, and they said it wo"

"Tonight, a problem arose with my son's braces. The dentist I went to left them too long, and they were digging into his lip. We went at 8 PM and asked them to trim the long part, but they refused, saying he wasn't their patient. I've never seen such nonsense. Whether it was a paid or free procedure,"

"There are 3 doctors there. I didn't go to Cene Ferah, so that's an exception to this review. The lady is a periodontist and she did a terrible job; I don't even have any gum tissue left there now. Dr. Diler did 3 veneers, one broke and the others became infected underneath..."
