What patients report about NATURADENT
Based on the reviews, patients at Naturadent report significant issues with appointments not being honoured, with one reviewer noting a friend was made to wait an hour and told "there's nothing we can do." Several reviewers also describe serious clinical failures, including a root canal that left a patient unable to sleep from pain, and an implant that "failed" after being placed. Additionally, one reviewer states the clinic "ruined her jawline" during a tooth extraction and denture procedure, with the clinic later admitting fault.
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 NATURADENT 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 NATURADENT's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"They don't adhere to appointment times, they refuse to apologize, there's no sign of courtesy, they're skilled at demanding payment every time, but expecting something in return is ridiculous; you wouldn't even wait this long at a state hospital. You're wasting your money and being humiliated. I abs"

"I absolutely do not recommend them. They tried to extract my mother's teeth and replace them with dentures, but they ruined her jawline. Later, they said the problem was their fault, saying that's all they could do in the jaw area and dismissed it. She paid so much money; people get their teeth fixe"

"I went to the doctor because my regular tooth was aching. The doctor said there was decay in my wisdom tooth and suggested extracting it as well. I agreed, but they said they'd charge another 540 TL after the extraction. It would have been better if they had informed me about the price before the pr"

"I had a root canal treatment here before, but now I can't sleep because of the pain from the same tooth. I don't recommend it at all. It's a place to stay away from. I chose it because it was a place I could go to after work, but I regret it."

"This is the most indifferent business I've ever seen. They made my friend wait an hour for her 5:30 PM appointment, and their response was "there's nothing we can do." Furthermore, an implant placed three years ago has developed infections, yet they still haven't addressed the issue. They left gaps "
