What patients report about Sinem Yavuz
Reviewers report serious clinical errors, with one patient stating that during a lower tooth filling, the dentist "broke my upper tooth" causing bleeding that lasted three days and required multiple doctors to stop. Another reviewer noted that a crown was "placed very unevenly" with a poor colour match, and that "the tooth sank." Additionally, patients describe concerning operational practices, such as "surgeon's assistants were also the drivers" and being collected in a smoke-filled small car.
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 Sinem Yavuz 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 Sinem Yavuz's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Good health to all! I do NOT recommend the Dent In Smile / Dt. Sinem Yavuz clinic.

"Unfortunately, the crown wasn't placed very evenly, and the color didn't quite match, so the tooth sank."
