What patients report about Seren Klinik
Patients at Seren Klinik report that work fails shortly after treatment, with one reviewer stating a crack appeared in a crown "just six days after installation." Reviewers also describe the clinic as "dodgy" with "fake Google reviews," and complain that the clinic does not take responsibility for the "mistakes of its in-experienced doctors." Furthermore, there are reports of poor pain management, with one reviewer noting that during a tooth extraction, "the anesthetic didn't work because they injected too little."
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 Seren Klinik 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 Seren Klinik's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"One of the bad clinic!!! If you don’t want to get much more problems with your teeth’s, better don’t come to them.
