Common questions
Who publishes this guide?
Precious Dental, a licensed dental clinic in Antalya (HealthTürkiye authorisation ST-4647), and its UK company Precious Teeth Ltd. Our dentist is the top pick and we benefit if you choose us.
Who is the best dentist in Turkey?
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.
Are Turkish dentists on the GDC register?
Usually not. Dentists who practise only in Türkiye are registered there. Check them on HealthTürkiye instead.
What do Dt., Uzm. Dt. and Dr. Dt. mean?
Dentist, specialist dentist and dentist with a doctorate. See our titles guide.
Which city is best?
It depends on your treatment and travel. Istanbul has the most specialists; Antalya is easiest for two-trip implant treatment; Izmir has many university-trained dentists; the resorts suit summer one-trip treatment.
How many trips do implants need?
Usually two, three to six months apart.
Can I trust clinic reviews?
Use them to judge communication and organisation, and read the low ratings. See our guide to reading reviews.
Do other clinics pay to be listed?
No.
Who looks after my teeth back home?
A UK dentist. Register with one and bring your records and implant details.
How do I correct a fact?
Send us the page and a link to a public source through the contact page.
