What patients report about Ideal Dental Clinic
Patients report specific problems including professional errors leading to failed orthodontic results, such as a back molar becoming crooked after treatment because the wires were not correctly attached. Reviewers also describe a pattern of the clinic’s demeanour changing from "extremely warm and reassuring" to a "complete" lack of engagement once payment was made. Another recurring issue is the absence of the advertised specialist at appointments, with one reviewer leaving due to a "lack of trust or professionalism."
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 Ideal Dental Clinic 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 Ideal Dental Clinic's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

It was a complete professional error; the wires attached to the front incisors, due to the crookedness, weren't reattached even though the back wire broke. This caused the front molar tooth to become crooked. Dr. S"

"I met Mr. Sinan and his team in 2004 when I was 11 years old. Initially, his demeanor was extremely warm and reassuring, but for some reason, after my parents paid the treatment, I noticed a complete change in his attitude. I remember one time, even though we were coming from out of town, he said he"

"When I went for my appointment, Professor Özgün wasn't there. I found this clinic online. I left the appointment because the doctor showed no signs of trust or professionalism. I wouldn't recommend it at all if you have a fear of dentists. Their patient communication will disappoint you..."

Ideal Dental Clinic is a verified dental clinic in Konak, İzmir, 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.
