What patients report about Dentestetik
Patients at Dentestetik report rushed and damaging treatment, with one reviewer stating their front tooth was "all dril" in under a minute. Multiple reviewers describe severe post-treatment pain and injury, including "mouths were covered in sores" and "teeth ached terribly." There are also recurring complaints about poor aftercare and work failing, with one reviewer noting a prosthesis "came loose after a year" and the clinic claiming the original doctor had left.
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 Dentestetik 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 Dentestetik's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Terrible place, I would never recommend it. The front prosthesis I had made earlier came loose after a year.
