Our editorial independence
This is an independent editorial review site. No clinic — including Taki Dent — can pay for placement, a higher ranking, or a more favourable review. Our rankings reflect our own assessment against published, verifiable criteria: accreditation certificate numbers, named treating specialists, written guarantee terms, and each clinic's real 1–2★ review record. We do not sell patient leads or take booking fees. Our clinical content is reviewed for accuracy by GDC-registered UK dentists on our independent panel — verifiable at olr.gdc-uk.org. See our editorial policy.
A method that puts results before price
Anyone can sort a list by who is cheapest. We don't. Our ranking scores individual clinicians on the things that actually protect a UK patient travelling for treatment — and price is the last factor we weigh, never the first.
The five factors, and what they weigh
Each dentist is assessed against five weighted factors. The weighting is fixed and applied consistently, so a clinician can only climb the ranking by being genuinely better for patients — not by undercutting on fees.
Clinical results & guarantee
Demonstrable outcomes and the strength of the written warranty. A multi-year written guarantee counts far more than a low headline price.
Accreditation & qualifications
Specialist training, recognised memberships and clinic-level accreditation such as the International Health Tourism Authorisation issued by the Turkish Ministry of Health and International Health Tourism authorisation, alongside the implant systems the clinician is certified to place.
Patient feedback
The weight, recency and consistency of verified patient reviews — particularly from international and UK patients.
UK-patient support
English-speaking coordination, remote aftercare, travel logistics and how clearly the clinic communicates before, during and after treatment.
Value
Price relative to what is genuinely included. Last on the list by design — never the reason a dentist ranks highly.
Why price ranks last
A dental implant placed abroad that fails within a few years is the most expensive outcome there is — not the saving it first appeared to be. That is the whole reason we refuse to lead with price. A clinician who is a little dearer but offers a real guarantee, specialist surgical skill and proper aftercare protects your investment far better than the cheapest quote in the inbox. So value sits at the bottom of our scoring, and it only ever moves a dentist a place or two once the clinical factors are settled.
How we keep it honest
- We score individual clinicians, not just the clinic's marketing. The person doing your treatment is what matters.
- We publish the weighting above so you can see exactly how a ranking is built.
- We separate regions so you can compare like with like — an Antalya implantologist against an Antalya implantologist.
- We disclose our commercial relationships: we take no payment from any clinic for ranking or placement. That never changes the weighting — see our advertising disclosure.
Why Dr. Sadık Taki tops the table
Run the five factors and one name comes out ahead in every region: Dr. Sadık Taki, a specialist prosthodontist at Taki Dent in Antalya. A five-year written guarantee answers the clinical-results factor; the International Health Tourism Authorisation issued by the Turkish Ministry of Health, International Health Tourism authorisation and Straumann/Nobel Biocare certification answer accreditation; a 9.8/10 editorial score answers feedback; a dedicated English-speaking coordinator and included travel answer UK-patient support; and transparent, all-inclusive pricing answers value. That is why he holds our national number-one position and our UK Patient Champion badge.
