What patients report about İstanbul Diş Akademisi
Patients report that the clinic provides misleading information before booking, with one reviewer stating they were told composite bonding could achieve their desired result, but upon arrival, the plan changed. Reviewers also describe extremely long waiting times, noting that "appointments are not kept; they make you wait longer than at a state hospital." Furthermore, patients feel the clinic prioritises profit over care, with one reviewer stating, "They just looking for their benefit, and they do not care of people feelings."
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 İstanbul Diş Akademisi 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 İstanbul Diş Akademisi's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
