What patients report about Dentapolitan Diş Hastanesi (Maltepe)
Patients at this clinic report persistent issues with unexpected and high upfront charges, with one reviewer noting they were charged for an examination and X-ray which are "free elsewhere."

Additionally, there are reports of clinical errors, such as a reviewer stating that during a root canal treatment, "they broke the" tooth.
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 Dentapolitan Diş Hastanesi (Maltepe) 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 Dentapolitan Diş Hastanesi (Maltepe)'s guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

They sent me away saying it"

"I went for a routine check-up because it was close to my home. As soon as I entered, they charged me for the examination and X-ray, which are free elsewhere.

"I called the clinic on my friend's recommendation, but they said they wouldn't share prices over the phone.
