What patients report about senCard Dental (Kadıköy)
Patients at senCard Dental report inconsistent and often poor-quality dental cleaning procedures. Specific complaints include a cleaning that was "very quick and superficial" with visible tartar left behind, and another where a patient’s gums were "so badly injured" they could not function normally afterwards. Reviewers also cite serious communication failures, such as appointments being changed without consent and a "serious communication and tone problem in the secretarial department."
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 senCard Dental (Kadıköy) 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 senCard Dental (Kadıköy)'s guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
