What does a oral and maxillofacial surgeon actually do?
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is the surgical specialist of dentistry: complex extractions, impacted wisdom teeth, jaw-bone reconstruction, sinus lifts, large grafts and zygomatic implant cases all fall in their territory. In Turkey it is one of the most demanding DUS specialisations, combining dental training with hospital-based surgical residency.
Why does the right oral and maxillofacial surgeon matter for UK patients?
If your case involves severe bone loss, failed previous implants or anything a clinic describes as "advanced surgery", the presence of a named oral surgeon on the treating team is one of the clearest quality signals you can check before travelling.
How do I verify a oral and maxillofacial surgeon’s credentials in Turkey?
Three checks cover most of the risk, and all three can be done from the UK. First, ask for the treating clinician’s full name and registered speciality, then confirm the specialisation was earned at a Turkish university faculty — legitimate clinics volunteer this in writing without friction. Second, confirm the clinic’s Ministry of Health operating licence, and for international treatment check the Ministry’s public health-tourism register at healthturkiye.gov.tr. Third, ask for the written guarantee and treatment plan before paying anything: the speed, clarity and completeness of that document is the single most reliable proxy for how the clinic will treat you as a patient.
Which Turkish cities have the most oral and maxillofacial surgeons?
Our verified records cover more than 2,700 dental businesses across Turkey, concentrated in five centres — and each has a distinct character worth understanding before you shortlist.
Muğla
The Muğla province — home to Bodrum, Marmaris and Fethiye — combines resort tourism with a compact but established dental scene of around 140 verified businesses. Many UK patients pair treatment here with a coastal stay, though the smaller market makes clinician verification even more important.
Antalya
Antalya is the centre of gravity for UK dental travel: a Mediterranean city whose clinics are purpose-built around international patients, with English-speaking coordination, airport transfer logistics and treatment plans designed for one- or two-visit schedules. Our records list more than two hundred verified dental businesses in the city.

Frequently asked questions
Is dental treatment in Turkey safe for UK patients?
At properly licensed, specialist-led clinics, yes — Turkish dentistry at its best matches Western European standards. The risk in dental tourism is variance, not the country: the difference between the strongest and weakest clinic in the same city is enormous, which is why verification of licences, specialists and written guarantees matters more than any ranking, including ours.
Why is Taki Dent ranked first on this list?
Taki Dent in Antalya is our editor’s choice under the published methodology we apply across this site — weighing guarantee, accreditation, patient feedback, UK-patient support and value, in that order. It is authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health for international health tourism, International Health Tourism authorised, a European Medical Awards 2025 winner, and led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr. Sadık Taki with a five-year written guarantee.
What questions should I ask oral and maxillofacial surgeons before booking?
Five reveal almost everything: Who exactly will treat me, and what is their registered speciality? Which material or implant system will be used, and can I see the brand in writing? What does the written guarantee cover, and for how long? How many cases like mine does the clinic complete each year? And what happens — practically and financially — if something fails after I am home?
Can I use my UK dentist for aftercare?
For routine monitoring and hygiene, yes — and you should tell your UK dentist about your treatment plans before you travel. For guarantee work, the Turkish clinic remains responsible, so get the terms in writing: what is covered, for how long, and who pays for travel if remedial treatment is needed. Bring home your radiographs and material specifications; they make any future UK care simpler and safer.
Do all Turkish dental clinics have oral and maxillofacial surgeons on staff?
No — and this is the most common misunderstanding in dental tourism. Many excellent clinics are led by general dentists with focused postgraduate training rather than formal DUS specialists, and many marketing titles ("smile architect", "implant expert") are not protected terms. Ask for the registered speciality of the person treating you, in writing, and verify it.
Should I choose a clinic or an individual clinician?
Choose the clinician, then evaluate the clinic around them. The named specialist doing your work determines the clinical result; the clinic determines everything wrapping it — laboratory quality, coordination, sedation safety and guarantee administration. The strongest choices are strong on both, which is exactly what our ranking methodology tries to measure.
