What patients report about Valuedent Clinic
Patients at Valuedent Clinic report that the clinic goes silent on WhatsApp after payment, failing to address post-treatment issues ("they are not even replying to me on watsapp"). Reviewers also state that the final price charged on arrival differs from the agreed fixed quote ("they tried to charge me more, which they ended up doing"), and that the quality of work is poor, with some alleging implants were not sterilised and that aftercare medication was not provided ("no medicaments for aftercare were given").
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 Valuedent 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 Valuedent Clinic's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"Even though it was just a small chip and a slight gap, I never felt satisfied with the result. The bonding and contouring didn’t smooth things out as I had hoped. Instead of boosting my confidence, it left me feeling more self conscious."

"Very bad quality, high prices than the market in Turkey, and they didn’t even sterilize the implants, and no medicaments for aftercare were given, some got them some didn’t. 🤮🤮"

"I read the reviews and honestly, either I got the worst of the worst, or I don't know. I went in March with a fixed price, and they tried to charge me more, which they ended up doing with the excuse that I needed a root canal. Well, in the end, my teeth were misaligned, which I complained about ther"

"I believed everything would go well, but it was a terrible choice. From the first contact, everything was normal until the moment we agreed on the price and dates.
