What patients report about İkiyaka
There are no reports of dental treatment problems, aftercare issues, or pricing discrepancies. Instead, reviewers consistently complain about poor service and slow food delivery, with one noting that "when you order something it comes cold on your table." Another reviewer criticises the drink quality, stating an apple frozen juice was "just a punch of water with a green color."
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 İkiyaka 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 İkiyaka's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

How to compare Taki Dent and İkiyaka fairly
İkiyaka is a verified dental clinic in Şişli, İstanbul, 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 İkiyaka
Before booking with İkiyaka — 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 İkiyaka, use our verified listing and the checklist above to do your due diligence before you commit.
