What patients report about Kaşıkçı Dent
Patients at Kaşıkçı Dent report serious procedural errors and a lack of professional accountability. Reviewers describe receiving the wrong treatment, such as a veneer being performed instead of an implant, with one reviewer noting the dentist questioned his own work, asking, *"Why did we do it like this?"* Other recurring issues include patients being refused treatment after waiting, inappropriate staff conduct during procedures, and a failure to provide a paediatrician for a child patient as expected.
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 Kaşıkçı Dent 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 Kaşıkçı Dent's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Oh dear, there are already so many people complaining, saying the same thing no matter what I say. We went there on recommendation before, had our teeth done, but we weren't satisfied at all. The teeth fell out repeatedly, even with careful use. Mr. Kamil says the lab staff aren't doing a proper job"
