2 qualified complaint incidents
1 serious (S3) · 0 critical (S4). Classified from third-party negative reviews under methodology v1.0 (automated draft, pending editorial sign-off).
The patient reported receiving non-prep veneers that required multiple remakes, had aesthetic issues including asymmetry and spacing, and resulted in a composite tooth falling off, costing $3.5k and additional travel expenses.
The patient reported that a new crown failed within a week and a half, and that treatment required more visits than expected.
Every criterion is scored from public sources. ✓ verified · ✗ not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).

What the clinic has said
Editorial verification pending. This clinic has not yet been contacted for right of reply on this automated draft. Clinics may correct facts, supply their authorisation, warranty and registration documents, and respond to any complaint before it is finalised; a response can change the score but cannot remove a documented complaint or buy a rank. Any response and its effect on the score will be recorded here and in the change history.

Anyone — including Best Dental Istanbul — can ask us to (re-)audit this clinic.
