What patients report about KidSmile Özel Gülümse Çocuk
Patients report that staff at KidSmile Özel Gülümse Çocuk are disrespectful and dismissive toward children who are anxious or uncooperative. One reviewer noted that after a child cried and refused to open their mouth, a staff member said, **"I can choose my patients too. If you behave like t..."** Another review mentions that the quoted price for a child's tooth extraction was 18,000, though the context suggests this was unexpectedly high or changed.
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 KidSmile Özel Gülümse Çocuk 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 KidSmile Özel Gülümse Çocuk's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I'm absolutely certain. My child is 5.5 years old, and they said they would start treatment depending on his condition, but on our first visit, Dr. E. couldn't do anything, of course, blaming the child for the situation. I think they were in a hurry. As soon as he sat down, they put on a cartoon, as"

"The first time we went, my nephew (age 9) cried a lot and wouldn't open his mouth at all. For a while, Ms. Seda spoke to him sweetly, but then said, "I can choose my patients too. If you behave like this, you won't come back here again." We didn't understand at the time, but it was clear from the st"

"The doctors are experienced and don't perform unnecessary procedures. However, unfortunately, I think due to political views, they are extremely disrespectful to people they don't think share their opinions, and to put it mildly, they act as if you've asked the most absurd question in the world...

"It's such a ridiculous place. We called to get information, said we wanted a tooth extracted, and they said okay, come and we'll do it.
