What patients report about Tan Klinik
Based solely on the 1-2 star reviews, patients at Tan Klinik report that the clinic performs "wrong treatment" that damages healthy teeth, with one reviewer stating they "deeply regret it." Another reviewer describes the clinic as "unreliable" with "inept and disrespectful" staff, citing a specific incident where an appointment was cancelled due to a "problem," only for the clinic to later deny the cancellation. A further review accuses the clinic of taking "the wrong action instead of the right one to get your money."
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 Tan Klinik 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 Tan Klinik's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"The wrong treatment ruined even our healthy teeth. We went there based on a recommendation because they used to be good, and we trusted that and had our teeth done, and we deeply regret it. We don't even go there for a simple filling anymore. Don't risk your health in places like this."

"An unreliable clinic; the staff are also inept and disrespectful. They called us to say they had to cancel our pediatrician appointment due to a problem, but when we called back after a while, they said they didn't have a pediatrician at all.
