What patients report about TUZLA DÜNYAM
Patients report that the clinic cancels agreed-upon procedures upon arrival, with one reviewer stating they were told "in a mocking tone, they couldn't" after being brought from a distance. Reviewers also describe poor clinical outcomes, such as fillings that "hurt at the slightest thing" and a general feeling of having "completely ruined my health." Additionally, there are complaints about poor organisation, including long waits for unbooked patients who were then turned away.
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 TUZLA DÜNYAM 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 TUZLA DÜNYAM's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"About ten months ago, we started getting dental work done. We agreed to have fillings, veneers, and implants. One of my upper two teeth would be veneered, and the other would be fabricated.

"We are completely dissatisfied. Four of us went to see Ms. Öykü. Never go to her again. I wanted to change the color of my teeth that previously had black fillings.

"I took my child there because their tooth was swollen, but we didn't have an appointment. They said they would examine them, but they kept us waiting for 1.5 hours.
