Who this clinic is
We show what a clinic states versus what is independently verified. Registry checks (Ministry of Health / HealthTürkiye / dental council) are performed by our editors — items marked "pending" have not yet been independently verified.

3 qualified complaint incidents
2 serious (S3) · 0 critical (S4). Classified from third-party negative reviews under methodology v1.1 via structured, software-assisted collection and reviewed against the cited evidence by a named GDC-registered reviewer before publication.
The patient reported a chaotic and painful implant surgery at CityDent Istanbul, involving an inexperienced dentist, unhygienic conditions, and a seven-hour procedure with complications.
The patient reported persistent pain after fillings and extraction, and that the dentist dismissed their complaint and suggested unnecessary treatment.
The patient reported being told the clinic does not have an oral surgeon by title but has doctors with equivalent experience, which they found concerning for implant surgery.
Every criterion is scored from public sources. ✓ verified · ✗ not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
