What patients report about Megadiş
Patients report serious diagnostic errors and poor treatment outcomes. One reviewer stated that staff "extracted molars thinking they were wisdom teeth, then couldn't accept their mistake," while another described a root canal filling that "has dissolved, and the pain has returned." Additionally, a patient reported that a promised 1 in 1000 risk of numbness was downplayed before a procedure was interrupted by a power cut.
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 Megadiş 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 Megadiş's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"On February 17, 2025, I went to the dentist with a toothache. I asked Dr. Tuğba if it was my first tooth (the 20th incisor), and she said yes, it was my first tooth. I said, "Then you can extract it." Later, she said there was a lesion in another tooth and that a root canal and filling were needed. "

"About a year ago, I had a root canal and filling done on my upper right tooth. The filling has dissolved, and the pain has returned. I don't think they provide quality service; I'd advise you to think twice before going there 🤬 They definitely don't deserve the money they charge, and I don't forgiv"

"I absolutely do not recommend it. If you don't want to suffer and waste your money, stay away from this place. They extracted molars thinking they were wisdom teeth, then couldn't accept their mistake, and later tried to lecture patients by saying "get out of here." Be careful. I wanted to write thi"

"About 1.5 years ago, I went for a wisdom tooth extraction. Before the extraction, they said there was a 1 in 1000 chance of numbness remaining. They then numbed the area, but the power went out because the clinic didn't have a generator. Since they had cut my gum, we had to wait about 20-25 minutes."

"I am writing this review on behalf of my father. Since he is unable to access the internet and leave reviews, I wanted to share this with him. He wanted to have dentures made at this establishment. He had his measurements taken, a tooth extracted, and paid, but the dentures didn't fit his mouth. Whe"
