What patients report about Soho Dental Clinic
Patients at Soho Dental Clinic report that crowns and implants fail shortly after treatment, with one reviewer stating their "top right crown fell off after 1 year." Reviewers also describe a lack of communication, noting that "they do what they want to do" and do not explain procedures. Furthermore, the quality of work is criticised, with one patient reporting that a filling was so poor a different dentist identified it as faulty.
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 Soho Dental Clinic 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 Soho Dental Clinic's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
