What patients report about Vien Denta
Patients at Vien Denta report a lack of informed consent and unexpected, painful procedures. One reviewer stated they had "two root canals done without informing me," while another described a procedure as "very painful" and noted the dentist "didn't cut my teeth" properly. Additionally, reviewers describe high-volume, rushed work, with one patient having "8 fillings done in one day" by "two different doctors" despite requesting a specific clinician.
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 Vien Denta 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 Vien Denta's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"In April 2020, I went to Vien Denta to have zirconium crowns placed on my upper teeth. Dr. Gönül provided support, but the procedure was very painful. After the procedure, because she didn't cut my teeth as much as she should have, the crowns were too big for my mouth, causing problems. I told her I"

"I went to get my bridge bonded, but they said my tooth, which I'd been using for years, needed root canal treatment. I agreed.

"I had 8 fillings done in one day, even 10 with two cosmetic fillings.... Two different doctors took care of me.
