What patients report about Sun Dental Clinic
Patients at Sun Dental Clinic report aggressive and rude communication from staff, with one reviewer describing being met with a "rude attitude" on the phone. Multiple reviewers also cite serious clinical failures, including a doctor who "worked on the wrong tooth" and a filling that was "not sealed properly" by "newly graduated doctors," leading to further dental damage.
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 Sun 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 Sun Dental Clinic's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.
