What patients report about Pırlanta Diş Polikliniği
Patients at Pırlanta Diş Polikliniği report that scaling and cleaning procedures are performed in a dangerously rushed manner. Reviewers specifically state that a cleaning which "takes 35-45 minutes everywhere else" was completed in "about 5-6 minutes," leaving most of the tartar and stains behind. Patients also describe the work as "careless" and "sloppy," with one reviewer noting they were left with "trauma" from an implant procedure.
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 Pırlanta Diş Polikliniği 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 Pırlanta Diş Polikliniği's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
