What patients report about Dr. Dt. Kutay Gürel Diş Kliniği
Patients report specific recurring problems at this clinic, including failed dental work and a lack of promised aftercare. One reviewer stated that a tooth "finally fell out" two years after treatment, while another described a wisdom tooth extraction where the dentist "forced it so hard that my mouth was completely wrecked." Additionally, reviewers cite high costs—with one paying "7000 TL for teeth whitening"—and note that the clinic failed to follow up, as they "said they would call me tomorrow... but no one called."
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 Dr. Dt. Kutay Gürel Diş Kliniği 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 Dr. Dt. Kutay Gürel Diş Kliniği's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"He performed my wisdom tooth extraction approximately 3-4 years ago. He forced it so hard that my mouth was completely wrecked. I thought my jaw was going to come out of its socket.
