What patients report about Dt. Meliha Bayram Şimşek Diş Kliniği
Patients report that the clinic’s quoted fees do not match the charges presented upon arrival, with one reviewer noting that a “woman started the fee schedule” and “added a bunch more” unexpectedly. Another recurring problem is the failure of dental work, as one reviewer stated that fillings “fell out and caused infection” less than a year after treatment, and a different dentist later found the root canals were not properly completed. Reviewers also describe a lack of basic courtesy, with one complaining that staff “couldn't they at least say hello” upon entering.
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 Dt. Meliha Bayram Şimşek Diş Kliniği 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 Dt. Meliha Bayram Şimşek Diş Kliniği's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
