What patients report about Yakadent
Patients at Yakadent report that the clinic prioritises expensive procedures over necessary care, with one reviewer stating, "Problems are planned from the most expensive to the cheapest procedures." Reviewers also describe receiving no aftercare or support following treatment, with one noting they "received no help from Yakadent" after their new teeth failed, and another complaining that they paid "full price for a job that wasn't done correctly." Additionally, there are specific complaints about unexpected fees for basic services, such as a 150 TL charge for an X-ray on a CD when the patient requested it via email.
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 Yakadent 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 Yakadent's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"After paying for my X-ray and requesting it via email, they told me it would be provided on a CD, not via email or any other communication method. And there was a 150 TL fee for that! Seriously, what era are we living in? Are there still computers that can play CDs? This business is built on money, "

"I've never encountered a dentist like this in my life. You go in for a filling, and then you find yourself in a checkup. Problems are planned from the most expensive to the cheapest procedures. If you have a simple filling that needs immediate attention, they deliberately postpone it. It's a busines"

"Please be careful! I had new teeth done a year ago. To this day, I'm still having problems with them. I received no help from Yakadent. They took my money, and that's all they care about. Please be careful and think carefully before you decide to have new teeth done there. Sincerely,"
