What patients report about Dental Office
Patients report significant problems with pricing discrepancies, where the online or initial quote differs from the amount charged after the procedure, with one reviewer noting they were "quoted 1000 TL for a teeth cleaning" before being charged a different sum. Reviewers also describe rushed, low-quality work, such as a child's teeth being "cleaned... in 10 minutes," and dangerous aftercare failures, including a root canal being "left open for days" leading to infection. Additionally, multiple reviewers cite a complete lack of attention and friendliness from the staff.
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 Dental Office 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 Dental Office's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Friends, stay away!! They performed root canal treatment on one of my wife's teeth and cleaned my little daughter's teeth in 10 minutes, charging 3000 TL for that. I paid 6000 TL for the root canal treatment. I asked around everywhere in Esenler, and no one charged that much; I never saw anything ov"

"STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLINIC. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I went there because it's close to my home. They quoted 1000 TL for a teeth cleaning on Saturday, but today, after the procedure, they charged 2000 TL. Apparently, the 1000 TL fee is for a 20-minute cleaning, but they charged 2000 TL bec"

"A work environment that doesn't even deserve one star, and staff completely devoid of friendliness. Egotistical and pretentious people are always worthless.

"I would definitely recommend this to anyone who truly wants to experience hardship; you'll get sick and then you'll leave.

How to compare Taki Dent and Dental Office fairly
Dental Office is a verified dental clinic in Esenler, İstanbul, listed in our directory from public Google Business data. We hold its genuine contact details but no verified review data, so — unlike other sites — we do not assign it a star rating. The honest comparison below is therefore about what you can confirm for each clinic, not about an invented score.
What Taki Dent brings
Taki Dent holds Turkish Ministry of Health (International Health Tourism authorised) accreditation, uses Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant systems, is led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr. Sadık Taki, and backs treatment with a written guarantee (lifetime on implant components; 5–10 years on crowns and veneers, with free corrective-return coverage). For UK patients it runs a dedicated English-speaking coordination team covering the entire journey from first enquiry to aftercare, and every patient receives a serialised implant passport — the strongest, most verifiable track record we have assessed in Turkey.
What to verify with Dental Office
Before booking with Dental Office — or any clinic where independent review data is limited — confirm in writing the treating dentist's qualifications, the exact implant and crown brands, a full itemised quote, and the written guarantee terms. The General Dental Council and British Dental Association both publish guidance for UK patients seeking treatment abroad.
Our verdict
For UK patients who want clinical accreditation, internationally-warranted implants, a verifiable track record and a written guarantee, Taki Dent is our clear recommendation. If you are considering Dental Office, use our verified listing and the checklist above to do your due diligence before you commit.
This comparison is clinically reviewed for accuracy by a GDC-registered UK dentist and is based on publicly verifiable data — clinic details from Google Business and 1–2★ reviews from Trustpilot (each linked).
