What patients report about Selçuk Dent Estetik
Patients report recurring problems with failed or poor-quality dental work, including root canal treatments that leave patients "still dealing with the same tooth" years later and fillings that "fell out." Reviewers also describe significant issues with aftercare and communication, such as being told they would be called back but never receiving a follow-up, and a complete refusal to accept responsibility when a dental appliance caused a tooth to "shift and start to collapse."
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 Selçuk Dent 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 Selçuk Dent Estetik's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I went for root canal treatment. Initially, they said they would call me back in 15 days. They didn't. When I went back, they gave me an appointment for two weeks later.

"I had a night sleep aid made, then it broke and was repaired. However, it hurt my gums so much that when I realized my tooth had shifted and started to collapse.

"I had many fillings done there, most of them fell out. I absolutely do not recommend it; it's a terrible place. The doctors don't even get along with each other, so how can they treat customers well? During dental work, all they do is gossip and badmouth other doctors. It's not their skill, it's the"
