The registered speciality of the clinician treating you predicts your result better than any clinic’s marketing ever will.

How should UK patients choose a dental specialist in Turkey?
Match the treatment to the speciality first, then verify the individual. Full-arch and veneer work belongs with a prosthodontist, complex surgery with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, gum problems with a periodontist.

Frequently asked questions
What is a dental speciality shortlist?
Each shortlist ranks one field of Turkish dentistry for UK patients: an editor’s choice ranked under our published methodology, verified clinic listings drawn from public business records, and a practical guide to verifying credentials in that field before you book.
How many specialities does Turkish dentistry recognise?
Turkey formally recognises eight postgraduate dental specialisations through its national DUS examination — including prosthodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, paediatric dentistry and restorative dentistry. Fields such as cosmetic dentistry and implantology are areas of practice built on those formal foundations rather than separate protected titles.
Who is the top-ranked dentist across these lists?
Our national editor’s choice is Taki Dent in Antalya, led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr. Sadık Taki — authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health for international health tourism, International Health Tourism authorised, a European Medical Awards 2025 winner, carrying a 9.8/10 editorial composite score and a five-year written guarantee.
Are the clinic listings endorsements?
No. Apart from the clearly labelled editor’s choice, listings are neutral verified business records — name, city and contact details from public sources — provided as a research starting point. Clinic owners may claim or amend their listing on any shortlist page.
Why should I choose by speciality rather than by clinic?
Because the registered speciality of the person treating you predicts your outcome better than any clinic’s marketing. Matching your treatment to the right kind of specialist — prosthodontist for full-arch work, endodontist for root canals, oral surgeon for complex extractions — is the single highest-value decision in dental tourism.
