What patients report about OVA DİŞ
Reviewers report two specific recurring problems at OVA DİŞ. Firstly, there is a clear pattern of opaque pricing, with one reviewer stating they "ended up paying double the price quoted over the phone" and another noting they were charged for a panoramic X-ray that is "free everywhere else during the initial examination." Secondly, patients report severe post-treatment complications, such as one reviewer who developed "severe pain in my jaw" after a root canal, requiring constant painkillers.
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 OVA DİŞ 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 OVA DİŞ's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"The clinic we went to for my wife's wisdom tooth was a complete disappointment. We made an appointment with Dr. Oktay, had an X-ray and CT scan, and were quoted a price of 12,000 TL. However, the day of the procedure was a complete fiasco. After the anesthesia was administered, Dr. Oktay suddenly s"

How to compare Taki Dent and OVA DİŞ fairly
OVA DİŞ is a verified dental clinic in Kartal, 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 OVA DİŞ
Before booking with OVA DİŞ — 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.
