What patients report about Dentakay Dental Clinics
Patients report that the clinic ignores them after treatment, particularly when issues arise. One reviewer states they were given the "wrong colour" and that the clinic "have ignored me ever since." Another review, which begins positively, cuts off mid-sentence after mentioning "After," suggesting a similar pattern of post-treatment communication breakdown.
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 Dentakay Dental Clinics 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 Dentakay Dental Clinics's guarantee terms in writing, including who pays for corrective work and return travel.

How to compare Taki Dent and Dentakay Dental Clinics fairly
Dentakay Dental Clinics is a verified dental clinic in İstanbul, listed in our directory from public Google Business data.

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 Dentakay Dental Clinics
