What patients report about ZC Estetik
Patients at ZC Estetik report a lack of transparency regarding fees, with one reviewer noting that "the initial consultation fee wasn't mentioned" until their first visit. Multiple reviewers describe poor treatment outcomes, including a root canal that "broke in less than a year" and damage to enamel from orthodontic materials. Communication is also a recurring issue, with one reviewer stating they "called 40 times" without an answer, while another describes a "female secretary" as "indifferent and rude."
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 ZC Estetik 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 ZC Estetik's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

"I went for orthodontic treatment, but four different doctors have treated me in two years. They say that when they remove my braces, they used materials that damaged my teeth, and that my enamel is gone. I'm incredibly upset, and they even said it was a competition; I wish I hadn't come. They said t"

"I went to them 2 years ago for root canal treatment. However, my root canal, which the doctor recommended with guarantees, broke in less than a year.
