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 Köşker Diş 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 Köşker Diş's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"If I were at the beginning of the treatment process, I would have said it was a great place and given it 5 stars. I'm sure most of those who gave it 5 stars did so at the beginning.

"Three of us had braces put on here. The dentist who put on the braces was extremely indifferent and uncaring from the beginning of the process.

"There's nothing worse than being treated with such indifference at the place you're receiving service. It's a great misfortune for this institution to have such grumpy people at the reception, and it's also a great misfortune that the doctor turned his nose up at your complaint. If Mr. Ahmet doesn't"
