What patients report about SOLODENT
Patients at SOLODENT report significant issues with treatment duration and hygiene standards. One reviewer stated their treatment took "4-5 months, with constant back and forth," while another described the clinic as having "zero hygiene" and noted that staff "leave our dental office unfinished." Multiple reviewers also cited poor behaviour from staff, with one warning that the experience was "beyond disgrace."
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 SOLODENT 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 SOLODENT's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"The place is terrible, no shoe covers, zero hygiene, nurses' behavior varies from person to person. I've never seen such a disgrace.

"Hello... I have problems with my teeth and need complete dental implants, so I needed to make a very good decision about my dentist. As a resident of Şifa neighborhood, I did some research. The prices are reasonable compared to other places, but their approach is very hasty. Hygiene and friendliness"

"You think you've done a great job, everyone who sees it wants to applaud, but unfortunately, it's not very good. So you can go to Şikayetvar (a Turkish complaint website) and be proud of the tooth you've done."

How to compare Taki Dent and SOLODENT fairly
SOLODENT is a verified dental clinic in Tuzla, İstanbul, listed in our directory from public Google Business data. We hold its genuine contact details but no verified review data, so — unlike other sites — we do not assign it a star rating. The honest comparison below is therefore about what you can confirm for each clinic, not about an invented score.
