What patients report about OD Clinic Turkey
Patients report that the clinic pressures them to pay in cash, with one reviewer noting the "fact that this place prefers to be paid in cash is quite suspicious." Another recurring issue is a lack of a proper treatment plan, with one reviewer stating they were "concerned about the lack of a treatment plan and everything being done by eye." Additionally, reviewers mention unexpected extra charges, such as a "consultation, its cost is 30€" and that the clinic "will charge you a lot of extras."
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 OD Clinic Turkey 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 OD Clinic Turkey's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
