What patients report about The Loft Clinic
Patients at The Loft Clinic report three specific recurring problems. Firstly, multiple reviewers describe serious clinical failures, including a veneer that "fell" shortly after returning home and "pain in my teeth since the day I had them done" that continued for a year. Secondly, there are consistent complaints about unprofessional conduct, with one reviewer citing "unfriendly and completely unprofessional staff" and another alleging the clinic "take cash in hand, don't issue invoices." Finally, reviewers indicate a lack of adequate aftercare or resolution, as one patient was told they would be sent a replacement tooth but the review cuts off before confirming receipt.
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 The Loft 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 The Loft Clinic's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"They take cash in hand, don't issue invoices, and we are very dissatisfied. The tax authorities need to investigate this. Such clinics and doctors who operate without proper procedures and call themselves doctors need to be monitored. I didn't have the procedure done myself; my mother did."

"I had zirconium crowns applied to all 24 of my teeth a year ago, and I deeply regret it. I've had pain in my teeth since the day I had them done, and it still continues. This is a company you should absolutely avoid; stay away from them. It's a waste of money; it's a company opened for money, with z"

We apologize"—would be appropriate. I felt compelle"

How to compare Taki Dent and The Loft Clinic fairly
The Loft Clinic is a verified dental clinic in Şişli, 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.
What Taki Dent brings

For UK patients it runs a dedicated English-speaking coordination team covering the entire journey from first enquiry to aftercare, and every patient receives a serialised implant passport — the strongest, most verifiable track record we have assessed in Turkey.
