What patients report about Özbey Dent
Patients at Özbey Dent report significant issues with pricing and billing, with one reviewer stating they were "told to pay for everything at a particular price" only to be given a different bill days later, while another described the "accounting" as "terrible." Clinical outcomes are also a major concern, with one reviewer reporting that a filling left their wife in "unbearable" pain, and another describing the doctors as "incompetent" and "not good at their jobs." Additionally, the atmosphere is criticised, with one patient finding the "playing music in a hospital" inappropriate for those with "pain and sensitivities."
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 Özbey Dent 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 Özbey Dent's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Playing music in a hospital is not appropriate. People have both pain and sensitivities. We are in the age of technology; those who want to listen can do so with headphones. This will lead to patient loss."

"It doesn't even deserve one star. Normally, when a tooth filling is done, the pain stops. My wife has had maybe 10 teeth done and never had any pain, but after we got one filling, she's in unbearable pain. Every time we go, they send us away saying it needs root canal treatment, this and that. They'"

"A business that prioritizes your money over your health. I hope those who go there are satisfied. Personally, I wasn't. The accounting is terrible 👎 They supposedly gave a discount, but then they put a new filling on top of my old one. The doctor was disrespectful. I'm currently abroad, but don't w"
