How we rank Antalya's dentists
Anyone can publish a 'best dentists' list. Ours is built on a transparent, weighted scoring system so you can see exactly why one clinician sits above another — and judge for yourself.
The six things we score
Every dentist on our roster is scored out of 10 against six weighted criteria. The weighting reflects what genuinely matters to a UK patient travelling to Antalya for treatment — not what looks impressive on a website. A beautiful waiting room earns no points; a specialist qualification and a written guarantee earn plenty.
| Criterion | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical credentials | 25% | Specialist qualifications, recognised training, accreditations (e.g. JCI, ITI) and ongoing education. |
| Specialism depth | 20% | How focused and experienced the dentist is in the field UK patients travel for — implants, full-arch, smile design. |
| Experience & caseload | 15% | Years in practice and the volume of relevant cases actually performed. |
| UK-patient support | 20% | English-speaking coordination, aftercare, written guarantees, transfers and accommodation. |
| Transparency | 10% | Clear written treatment plans, honest pricing and named implant brands. |
| Verified reviews | 10% | The weight and consistency of feedback from UK and international patients. |
Why we rank dentists, not just clinics
Most directories rank clinics. But you are not treated by a building — you are treated by a person. The dentist who places your implants or prepares your veneers determines the result far more than the brand on the door. That is why our roster names the clinician, lists their specialism and training, and scores them. For patients who do want to compare clinics, our sister directory ranks top dental clinics in Antalya.
How the #1 position is earned
To top our list a dentist has to score well across all six criteria, not just one. Our current #1, Dr. Sadık Taki at Taki Dent, scores 9.8/10 because he combines specialist prosthodontic credentials, a JCI-accredited facility with an in-house laboratory, nearly two decades of full-arch experience, a dedicated UK patient team, transparent written plans and a deep bank of verified reviews. It is the all-round consistency, more than any single factor, that keeps him at the top.
What we deliberately ignore
- Paid placement. No dentist can buy a higher rank. Scores are editorial.
- Lowest price alone. The cheapest quote often hides missing crowns or weak aftercare; value beats headline price.
- Marketing polish. A slick brand and stock photos earn nothing without the credentials behind them.
Compare for yourself, privately
Our ranking is a starting point, not a substitute for your own judgement. If you would like to compare treatment plans and prices from several dentists without sharing your details, you can do so anonymously through Offerqo before deciding who to book with.
