What patients report about Dental Plus İstanbul
Patients at Dental Plus İstanbul report significant issues with unexpected and exorbitant costs, with one reviewer stating they were charged "15,700 TL" for a single root canal filling without being given a price beforehand. Another recurring problem involves failed or broken dental work, such as a "broken implant" that required repair, and a separate review mentions implants that had a "l" (likely a truncated complaint about longevity). Reviewers also describe poor aesthetic results and deep regret, with one stating their "teeth are still yellow no difference" and another saying they "curse the clinic" every time they look in the mirror.
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 Plus İstanbul 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 Plus İstanbul's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"One root canal filling. 15,700 TL. I didn't ask for a price, I had it done, and they asked for this amount at the cashier. I immediately canceled my other appointment.
