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 Okan Üniversitesi Diş Hastanesi Mecidiyeköy 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 Okan Üniversitesi Diş Hastanesi Mecidiyeköy's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I went to get minor fillings for receding gums. So did I. They charged me extra in 2021. I never went back. They never refunded my money.
