What patients report about Parla Clinics
Patients at Parla Clinics report serious issues with the quality and longevity of dental work, with one reviewer stating they “had to have 3 veneers re-cemented in Australia within 3 weeks of the procedure.” Another recurring problem is the use of inferior materials, as reviewers claim they paid for premium implants but “ended up with implants of Tur” (Turkish) or that “implants are false and the lowest quality.” Finally, there are significant complaints about poor aftercare and a demanding upfront payment process, with one reviewer noting the clinic asks you to “pay the full amount upfront.”
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 Parla Clinics 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 Parla Clinics's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I want to warn everyone about Parla Clinic in Turkey and their partner company Veon Health. What they do feels like fraud. From the very beginning, they ask you to pay the full amount upfront — and it is not a small sum. Once they have your money, everything changes. There is no proper organization"

"Do not attend this clinic for any cosmetic dental work. I had 11 veneers / 1 crown done by these buffoons...had to have 3 veneers re-cemented in Australia within 3 weeks of the procedure.

"I definitely don't recommend this clinic, my aunt had a bad experience, they said they were going to give her Swiss German implants, and she paid for that.
