What patients report about Mayra Dental Clinic
Patients at Mayra Dental Clinic report that dental work fails prematurely, with one reviewer stating their "embankment bridge and everything else fell apart" within a year. There are also recurring issues with misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment for abscesses, where staff either fail to prescribe antibiotics or the prescribed course does not resolve the problem. Furthermore, reviewers describe persistent pain following treatment, such as "filled teeth have been aching for a whole year," alongside poor communication, including staff who "don't answer the phone."
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 Mayra Dental Clinic 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 Mayra Dental Clinic's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
