What patients report about Mimdent
Patients at Mimdent report serious failures in infection control and post-treatment care. Multiple reviewers describe tooth extractions and X-rays performed on children without administering necessary antibiotics, leading to severe infections and hospitalisation; one reviewer states their “child was hospitalized for a week due to a blood infection.” Additionally, patients cite incomplete procedures, such as a root canal leaving a cracked tooth, and a failure to provide advertised 24/7 emergency service, with the clinic being “closed” and not answering phones.
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 Mimdent 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 Mimdent's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I never and never recommend it, I had a root canal done on my tooth, I lost count of how many times I went there. The last time I went there was a crack on my tooth.

"You performed an X-ray on my child without administering antibiotics, and my child was hospitalized for a week due to a blood infection. Shamelessly, you claimed his mother said he used antibiotics. You are only as good as your conscience."
