The best dentists in Turkey, by name, not just clinic names. Every one is on the Ministry of Health’s register and named on their clinic’s own website, and we link to both.
To appear at all, a dentist must be named on the HealthTürkiye register and on their clinic’s website. Then each dentist gets one point per check, and only when we found the evidence ourselves.
Our top pick comes first. After that: most checks verified, then the title on the Ministry register (professor, associate professor, PhD or specialist, dentist), then years in practice. A dash means we could not find that item in public, not that the dentist lacks it.
Register: HealthTürkiye (Turkish Ministry of Health), read on 22 October 2026. Reviews: Google Maps and Trustpilot, for the dentist’s clinic. Looking for implants? See the best implant dentists in Türkiye.
The biggest choice of specialists, and the longest airport transfers.
A university city: several dentists here hold a PhD or teach.
Kuşadası, Bodrum, Marmaris and Fethiye: small resorts, few clinics.
Home of our top pick. For more Antalya clinics, see bestdentistsinantalya.com.
Turkish dentists put their qualification in front of their name. Dt. is a qualified dentist. Uzm. Dt. has completed a specialist training programme. Dr. Dt. holds a doctorate. Doç. Dr. and Prof. Dr. are university ranks.
A higher title is not automatically the right dentist for you. An experienced general dentist who places implants every week may suit a straightforward case better than a professor who mostly teaches.
| Title on the register | Dentists |
|---|---|
| Professor (Prof.) | 2 |
| Associate Professor (Doç.) | 1 |
| Doctor (PhD) | 1 |
| Specialist (Uzman) | 3 |
| Dentist (Dt.) | 23 |
Our top pick is Dt. Hüseyin Yavuz Özbek of Precious Dental, Antalya: passes all 5 public checks, and is named on the Ministry register at a clinic with authorisation ST-4647; works on implant surgery and prosthetics, the treatments most UK patients travel to Türkiye for; publishes his Turkish Dental Association number (49105), so you can look him up yourself; his clinic is rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot from 384 patient reviews and publishes one all-inclusive price: All-on-6 £6,500 for both jaws. Precious Dental publishes this guide. The best dentist for you depends on your treatment, so ask any dentist for a written plan, the name of who will treat you and the guarantee in writing.
Precious Dental, a dental clinic in Antalya. Our implant surgeon is the guide’s top pick and we benefit if you choose us. Every other dentist is ordered by five public checks, with a link to each source.
Because the person who treats you matters more than the reception area. In Türkiye the Ministry of Health publishes a register of health professionals, so you can check a named dentist’s title, branch and clinic yourself.
There is no single best city. Istanbul has the widest choice of specialists; Antalya and the Aegean resorts are easier for a two-trip treatment with a short airport transfer; Izmir has a large university dental school. See our city guide.
No. No dentist or clinic pays to be included, and none can pay to move up. The guide is still not neutral, because it is published by Precious Dental.
The dentist or clinic can send us a public source and we will correct the page and its date. See the corrections section on our About page.
