I don’t even know where to begin, how to start when describing the horror movie-like experience , the nightmare I’ve been living through thanks to Dentakay. The only word that comes to mind to sum up my entire Dentakay experience and what I’ve gone through over the past two years is simply 'tragedy.' Based on my own experience within these past 2 years, I’ve come to understand why Turkey has fallen behind in health tourism in recent years.
On the evening of December 31, 2023, after having flied from 2,700 km I underwent the treatment for 27 zirconium crowns, hoping to start 2024 with a positive story. As of today, exactly 22 months have passed. All of my communications with Dentakay, as well as the visual evidence, pictures , proofs I provided them, are well-documented.
It took just 10 days—on the morning of January 10—for me to wake up with two broken teeth in the front lower jaw. In July 2023, the other side of the lower jaw also broke. As a result, a correction was performed on the lower teeth in July 2023. Just when I thought the nightmare was over, another tooth was damaged while I was simply eating bread and on July 25, 2024 half of the tooth was filed down and treated.
Additionally, a crack occurred in the back upper tooth, which was also treated by Dr. A.O on July 25, 2024. ( By the way he was the only impressing experience during the whole process with his perfection and behaviour )
The worst part is that two more teeth in the upper front jaw (the most visible part for a person’s smile) developed major cracks. I have documented all of these experiences, including every WhatsApp message, the five dentist visits I had to make in the Netherlands, and all the photos.
Finally, in July, after four upper front teeth were removed and replaced with new crowns, I returned home to the Netherlands. ( 2 obligatory visits to Istanbul within only 18 months at that time )
I want to stress that despite following a regular care routine, using a night guard, and being mindful of what I eat, just three days ago, the bridge and two supporting teeth in the lower right back jaw shattered into five pieces while I was having dinner at home with my family and children. Today, I visited my dentist in the Netherlands, who confirmed that the pressure on the bridge caused all three teeth to break.
To summarize, in the past 22 months, I’ve had to return to the clinic twice, attending a total of six sessions at Dentakat . I’ve also had to visit my dentist here in the Netherlands five times, incurring extra expenses each time.
My advice to all patients is to be extremely cautious. Reconsider your decision carefully to avoid problems after treatment. Unfortunately, I can’t share the screenshots of my communications with the clinic or the photos of my ruined teeth on this platform. However, if anyone is interested, you can contact me.
Wish you all healthy and happy days.
