What patients report about Qualident
Patients at Qualident report significant communication barriers, with one reviewer stating staff "don't know the English properly." Multiple reviewers also describe a bait-and-switch regarding pricing, noting that "the prices... quoted when I made the appointment" differed from the final bill. Furthermore, reviewers describe a lack of patient care and rushed consultations, with one noting the doctor proceeded "before even looking at my mouth or listening to my complaint."
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 Qualident 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 Qualident's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
