What patients report about Halil Uyar
Patients at this clinic report poor communication and scheduling issues, with one reviewer noting they were called the day before an appointment to confirm attendance "so they wouldn't wait for other patients." Another reviewer describes a filling and root canal treatment that "took a year to heal," only for the toothache to return, leaving them unhappy with the results. Additionally, reviewers mention receiving "superficial information" from staff and difficulty accessing specialist care, such as a periodontist who was only available weekly.
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 Halil Uyar 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 Halil Uyar's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

I told her they should do that first because it was causing an odor, and also to check how many fillings I had. They numbed it, and whe"

"I went to get my tooth fixed because it was broken, wanting to avoid pain. The secretary gave me superficial information on everything.

"When I called, they said they didn't have a Periodontology department, but that one periodontist was available weekly. So I went on the day they said a periodontist was there.

"I went there last year for a toothache and had a filling and root canal treatment, but the filling took a year to heal, and now I can't stand the toothache again, so I'm not happy with the results at all."

"Unfortunately, it was a bad experience. I made an appointment weeks in advance, and then they called me the day before to ask if I was absolutely sure I was coming so they wouldn't wait for other patients. Even though I arrived on time, I waited 40 minutes, and every time I asked, I was told I would"
