What patients report about Oval Diş Kliniği (Pendik)
Based solely on the 1-2 star reviews, patients report that the clinic’s dentists perform incorrect or incomplete procedures, such as filling a tooth that then required a root canal, and that a dentist was misrepresented as an oral surgeon. Reviewers also describe a "seriously negative and cold attitude" from the doctor and long waiting times. A recurring problem is that aftercare is poor, with the clinic going silent when patients return with persistent pain following treatment.
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 Oval Diş Kliniği (Pendik) 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 Oval Diş Kliniği (Pendik)'s guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I had a dental scaling done in October 2025. I was going to write this review and give 5 stars that same day, but I waited until today to see the results before writing. Before the cleaning, I had fillings in 3 teeth; now I have neither fillings nor teeth left. They did such a terrible job of scalin"

"I went to this clinic with a toothache. Dr. Mahmut Genç first filled my tooth. Then, when the pain persisted, he told me I'd need a root canal or an extraction. Because I'd been in pain for a long time, I decided to have an extraction. They suggested we make an appointment with Dr. Efe ERTEN, an ora"

"I only went for a tartar cleaning, but I was so pleased that I now come here for all my dental treatments. Sümeyye loves her job, it's obvious. She cleaned my teeth so thoroughly. The cleanliness of the clinic and the friendly welcome from Aslı at the reception desk are also top-notch."

"My wife had a tooth extracted in May by Dr. Efe Erten, whom you described as an oral surgeon at this clinic, but whom we later learned was not. When her pain in the extraction area persisted, I brought her to you for a follow-up. Despite having a CT scan available, you always evaluated her with an X"

"I made an appointment for an examination. I went after work and waited 40 minutes. When I entered the doctor's office, I was greeted with a seriously negative and cold attitude, as if I were the doctor I had been waiting for. Yet, this was a clinic where I wanted to have all my teeth done. The docto"
