What patients report about Sentez Dental
Patients at Sentez Dental report specific problems including unqualified practitioners performing treatment, with one reviewer stating they were treated by someone who "wasn't a qualified orthodontist." Another recurring issue is poor clinical outcomes and refusal to correct work, such as a veneer being applied despite "gum inflammation" and a dentist cracking a patient's tooth during a filling, which later broke. Reviewers also describe having to pay a second time to fix problems with their teeth, indicating a lack of satisfactory aftercare or warranty.
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 Sentez Dental 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 Sentez Dental's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I had clear aligner treatment here in previous years, but I later learned that the person who treated me wasn't a qualified orthodontist.

"Despite having gum inflammation, he applied the veneer and sent me away. It was my fault for having to go back repeatedly. I asked him several times to pull the veneer out and do an implant, but he didn't bother, he acted as if he was doing it for free. Because of him, I developed bone loss in my fr"

"I was scheduled for an initial consultation at the practice located at Ausstellungsstraße 33, 1020 Vienna, Austria.

"I think they had their friends write these reviews...it's a terrible place. I had my upper and lower teeth done, but there was a problem with my upper teeth, so I paid a second time to fix them. But it still didn't work. This time, my teeth separated on the side, and my molar is still broken because"
