Who we are and how we judge clinics

This site exists because choosing a dental clinic abroad is genuinely hard, and most of the information online is either marketing or guesswork. We set out to do something more useful: assess clinics against a fixed, published framework, have the clinical claims reviewed by a qualified specialist, and tell UK patients plainly which clinics earn their trust and which do not.

Our experience and expertise

Our editorial team has spent years researching dental tourism specifically for UK patients — the treatments they travel for, the prices that are realistic, the pitfalls that recur and the markers that reliably separate a safe clinic from a risky one. We read guarantees, compare implant systems, and weigh accreditation rather than aesthetics. The aim is to apply the same standards a careful, well-informed British patient would, every time.

Medical review

Clinical content on this site is medically reviewed by Dr. Sadık Taki, a Specialist Prosthodontist with extensive experience treating international and UK patients. Prosthodontics is the dental specialism covering implants, crowns, veneers and full-mouth rehabilitation — precisely the treatments most UK patients seek in Turkey. His review ensures that what we say about procedures, materials, guarantees and aftercare reflects sound clinical practice, not marketing.

Our authoritativeness

We base our judgements on verifiable signals: recognised accreditation (such as the International Health Tourism Authorisation issued by the Turkish Ministry of Health and International Health Tourism authorisation), named and qualified clinicians, documented implant systems, written guarantees and the consistency of public patient feedback. We link openly to recognised UK dental authorities — the General Dental Council, the British Dental Association, the NHS and the Oral Health Foundation — so you can check the standards we reference against the source.

Trust and transparency

We believe trust is earned by being explicit about how we work and where our interests lie. So, plainly: this site is part of a UK-focused dental network that works closely with Taki Dent, which is also our top-scored clinic, and We take no payment from any clinic for ranking or placement. This makes us a independent editorial comparison and review platform rather than a neutral authority. We apply our published methodology before any clinic is scored, we do not sell ranking positions, and our commission never changes our editorial assessments — see our advertising disclosure for the full picture. We think Taki Dent earns its place on the evidence, but you are entitled to judge that for yourself and to verify any clinic's credentials directly.
