What patients report about LD Klinik
Patients at LD Klinik report serious issues with clinical competence, including botched root canal treatments and extractions where roots were left in the jaw. Reviewers describe being sent away in pain after procedures, with one noting that after a wisdom tooth extraction "the root broke, and they said there was no harm in leaving it there." There are also recurring complaints about rude and unprofessional behaviour from staff, with one patient recounting that a dentist "pulled my 7-year-old son's tooth while scolding him."
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 LD Klinik 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 LD Klinik's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Never go there, they can't even do root canal treatment. I had two teeth done, one needed to be extracted, but they said it wasn't necessary and they could fix it. Then they said the tooth would break, and believe me, about a month later, the pain is equivalent to what I had before the treatment. Ma"

"I absolutely do not recommend this doctor. A few months ago, a female doctor pulled my 7-year-old son's tooth while scolding him. Today, we went again for his toothache because it's close to our house. I asked for a different doctor, but apparently only female doctors see child patients. We said may"

"Ten days ago, I went for a wisdom tooth extraction. During the extraction, the root broke, and they said there was no harm in leaving it there and sent me away. Since then, I've been in pain for a week. I couldn't take it anymore and went back to the hospital, where they said the wound hadn't healed"
