What patients report about Tantalya Dental Clinic
Reviewers consistently report severe dissatisfaction with treatment outcomes, including crowns that were "not the right size from the very beginning" and procedures left incomplete, forcing patients to seek care elsewhere mid-treatment. Multiple accounts describe being given incorrect information about the number of crowns or implants they would receive, with one reviewer noting they were told they would get "28 crowns on my 12 implants" only to find this was not delivered. Communication breakdowns are a recurring theme, with patients describing feeling "traumatized" and finding it "pointless to talk" to the clinic when problems arise.
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 Tantalya 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 Tantalya Dental Clinic's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Hello, I had my first dental scaling done at your clinic. I had seen before-and-after photos of the procedure and knew others who had undergone it, so I expected a similar result. However, the result was disappointing for me. The upper and lower back sections remained exactly the same. I didn't have"
