What patients report about Ultradent
Patients report that the clinic's treatment recommendations are unnecessarily aggressive, with one reviewer stating a doctor "offered to extract all my teeth, regardless of whether they were healthy or decayed." Another recurring issue is poor organisation and communication, as reviewers describe appointments being cancelled due to a power outage with no follow-up, and being told "the doctor had left the clinic" after the issue was resolved.
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 Ultradent 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 Ultradent's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

How to compare Taki Dent and Ultradent fairly
Ultradent is a verified dental clinic in Sancaktepe, 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
Taki Dent holds Turkish Ministry of Health (International Health Tourism authorised) accreditation, uses Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant systems, is led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr. Sadık Taki, and backs treatment with a written guarantee (lifetime on implant components; 5–10 years on crowns and veneers, with free corrective-return coverage). 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.
What to verify with Ultradent
Before booking with Ultradent — or any clinic where independent review data is limited — confirm in writing the treating dentist's qualifications, the exact implant and crown brands, a full itemised quote, and the written guarantee terms. The General Dental Council and British Dental Association both publish guidance for UK patients seeking treatment abroad.
