What patients report about Klinik Nişantaşı
Patients at Klinik Nişantaşı report that the clinic recommends and performs unnecessary, high-cost treatments, such as adding "6 implants and clear aligner treatment" when the patient only requested fillings. Reviewers also describe rushed, careless work, with one stating the dentist cleaned teeth "frantically without giving me proper information" and another reporting an implant failing within three years. Furthermore, patients cite poor organisation and no-shows, including waiting for a doctor who "didn't come - couldn't come" for a scheduled appointment.
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 Klinik Nişantaşı 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 Klinik Nişantaşı's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Clinic Nişantaşı. We waited for the doctor for an additional half hour on top of arriving early for my daughter's 10:00 AM appointment. He didn't come - couldn't come. Doctors can be busy, their work can be delayed, there can be different reasons, but it's important to apologize/explanate when you'r"

"I went to Dr. Erdi İçen's clinic in Nişantaşı just for fillings and teeth cleaning. Suddenly, 6 implants and clear aligner treatment were added. Dr. Erdi İçen gave me a long list and pricing. First, they did a teeth cleaning; the instruments kept leaking water, soaking me, and they kept working on m"

"I came in for a dental stone cleaning. The dentist saw a cavity and said a root canal was necessary. They didn't give me any information about the filling material. They said it was composite. The best filling material is an inlay or onlay. I requested it later. They quoted me three times the price."

"I went using my annual dental package under my private health insurance. The dentist started cleaning my teeth frantically without giving me proper information, and because they did it carelessly, quickly, and painfully, I had to slow them down.
