What patients report about Çekmeköy Dent
Patients at Çekmeköy Dent report recurring problems with the longevity of dental work, specifically that "crowns are falling out" and failing shortly after treatment. Reviewers also describe issues with appointment scheduling, noting that the system gives appointments for days when a key dentist is unavailable, calling the clinic "a very irresponsible place." Additionally, patients cite poor clinical outcomes, such as a tooth that "broke completely" after a procedure and a lack of follow-up care, with one reviewer describing a practitioner as "very indifferent."
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 Çekmeköy Dent 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 Çekmeköy Dent's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I just went and came back. Dr. Baturay Ornağ only works on Thursdays, but their appointment system gives appointments for Tuesdays. It's a very irresponsible place, I don't recommend it."

"A year ago, my mother had dental implants and crowns, but since then, despite being very careful, the crowns fall out every 2-3 months. The time she spent without teeth and the money we paid were not worth it. At 70 years old, she still goes for re-bonding and is afraid to eat anything hard for fear"

"I had braces put in 3-4 years ago. Because I had to go abroad, we had to have them removed under contract. Why weren't internal braces put in? My teeth are back to their previous bad shape? Is it me, doctor? Why do you take people's money and then, despite my repeated calls, treat them like they're "

"The endodontist, Ms. Kadriye, was very indifferent; I definitely do not recommend her. She didn't even bother to check if there was any height difference in the fillings of my root canal treated teeth, as if it wasn't her job. All she needed to do was check the height and trim it a little if there w"
