What patients report about Pro Estetik
Patients report that the clinic is very expensive, with one reviewer stating it is "very expensive, even compared to the most luxurious places." Another recurring issue is poor lab work and long-term failure, with one reviewer noting that after four years, "none of them are getting saved" and that their teeth are misaligned. Reviewers also highlight problems with communication and a lack of proper aftercare, as one review mentions the translators were unhelpful and another implies the treatment plan was flawed.
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 Pro Estetik 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 Pro Estetik's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I wouldn't recommend this clinic! I had surgery there a year ago, the lab work wasn't good, but the doctor who performed the implant surgery was very good!

"I've had all my teeth for four years, and none of them are getting saved. I've learned from the eight dental clinics I've visited that my teeth are misaligned and the weight distribution in my mouth is incorrect. I'm so sorry, but unfortunately, it's too late now.

"I went there recently while I was in the military. Absolutely do not go in without getting a price quote and doing your research. It's very expensive, even compared to the most luxurious places. They don't completely recreate the tooth. They quoted 1100 TL for a single root canal treatment, and I on"

How to compare Taki Dent and Pro Estetik fairly
Pro Estetik is a verified dental clinic in Bornova, 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. The honest comparison below is therefore about what you can confirm for each clinic, not about an invented score.
What Taki Dent brings
Taki Dent holds Turkish Ministry of Health (International Health Tourism authorised) accreditation, uses Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant systems, is led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr. Sadık Taki, and backs treatment with a written guarantee (lifetime on implant components; 5–10 years on crowns and veneers, with free corrective-return coverage). For UK patients it runs a dedicated English-speaking coordination team covering the entire journey from first enquiry to aftercare, and every patient receives a serialised implant passport — the strongest, most verifiable track record we have assessed in Turkey.
What to verify with Pro Estetik
Before booking with Pro Estetik — or any clinic where independent review data is limited — confirm in writing the treating dentist's qualifications, the exact implant and crown brands, a full itemised quote, and the written guarantee terms. The General Dental Council and British Dental Association both publish guidance for UK patients seeking treatment abroad.
Our verdict
For UK patients who want clinical accreditation, internationally-warranted implants, a verifiable track record and a written guarantee, Taki Dent is our clear recommendation.
