What patients report about Yalı Diş (Karabağlar)
Patients report that the clinic uses high-pressure sales tactics to upsell more expensive treatments, with one reviewer stating they were "hastily convinced" to switch from veneers to an "All on Four" procedure. Multiple reviewers also describe a lack of proper communication and consent, including a case where staff "convinced" a child to agree to a procedure against a parent's explicit wishes. Additionally, patients report poor responsiveness, with one reviewer noting that despite the clinic being listed as open, "no one answered" when they called with a severe toothache.
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 Yalı Diş (Karabağlar) 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 Yalı Diş (Karabağlar)'s guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"We went for our child's tooth, and during the examination, even though I told them at least fifty times before and after to have the tooth extracted, they talked to the child inside, convinced him, and performed root canal treatment.

"November 21, 2025 at 21:00 It was published on the website and Google that it was open. We first called with a complaint of severe toothache but no one answered. When the pain was severe, we went there thinking that maybe it was open. CLOSED."

"A dental clinic hastily convinced me that the "All on Four" treatment was more guaranteed, arguing that even with veneers on my remaining 6 teeth, which could be fixed with a total of 4 extractions and 4 implants for my upper jaw, it would only last 5 years before my existing bone completely eroded."

"I came here on recommendation because I didn't like the teeth from my previous place and they were pinching at the sides. Around April, we started the zirconium crown procedure for my upper front six teeth. They filed down my gums first, then did a trial fitting, but the dentures fell out about four"
