What patients report about Şemikler Kar Beyazı
Patients at Şemikler Kar Beyazı report that non-medical reception staff, rather than dentists, are making treatment decisions, with one reviewer noting they saw "a secretary diagnose and determine the treatment course." Reviewers also describe being charged for procedures not performed, with one warning that the clinic sends "exorbitant invoices months later for procedures they didn't even perform." Additionally, there are reports of serious clinical errors, such as a reviewer who went for a simple extraction and claims staff "created a cavity from my tooth to my sinus."
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 Şemikler Kar Beyazı 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 Şemikler Kar Beyazı's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"In which hospital have you ever seen a secretary diagnose and determine the treatment course? Not only did they recommend the wrong treatment for a painful tooth, but they're now looking for cavities in healthy teeth. They treat you like a customer, not a patient.

"New note, be careful, always request an invoice. They send exorbitant invoices months later for procedures they didn't even perform, even though they claim the panoramic X-ray and preliminary examination are free.

"I read all the reviews and went, I wish I hadn't. The person at the reception desk was only interested in money, giving advice about treatment; it's an institution where their only concern is money. I've never felt so unimportant. Definitely don't go because their only concern is your money."

"I'm giving 1 point because 0 points isn't an option. If you ever go there, run away without looking back. I went for a tooth extraction and they created a cavity from my tooth to my sinus. Worse still, not only did they fail to notice this cavity, but even though I went back twice after the extracti"
