About Top Dental Clinics Turkey
Top Dental Clinics Turkey is an independent editorial research, comparison and review platform covering dental clinics and dental tourism in Turkey.
The website is operated by:
ITEXPERT24 LTD
Company number: 17110917
Registered in: England and Wales
Registered office: 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom
Top Dental Clinics Turkey is not a dental clinic, healthcare provider, professional regulator, accreditation body or government authority.
We do not provide dental treatment, diagnose medical conditions or replace advice from a qualified dental professional. Our clinic scorecards and rankings are editorial assessments based on the evidence available at the time of review.
How we fund the website
Our research, editorial work, data collection, technical infrastructure and free public tools may be funded through:
- funding provided by the website operator;
- display advertising;
- clearly labelled sponsored content;
- affiliate or referral commissions;
- commercial licensing of our original data, research or technology; and
- other commercial partnerships that are disclosed where relevant.
A clinic does not need to pay to be included in our clinic register or evaluated under our published methodology.
We do not accept payment in exchange for:
- inclusion in the ranking;
- a higher score;
- a better ranking position;
- a positive editorial review;
- the removal of substantiated complaints or negative findings;
- an award or recommendation;
- changes to our methodology; or
- suppression of relevant public information.
Affiliate and referral relationships
Some pages may contain affiliate links or referral mechanisms.
When a user clicks an affiliate link, submits an enquiry or purchases a service through a commercial partner, we may receive a commission or referral fee. This does not normally increase the price paid by the user.
Where an affiliate or referral relationship applies, it will be disclosed clearly near the relevant link, form or recommendation using wording such as:
- Affiliate link
- Referral relationship
- We may receive a commission
- Commercial partner
The existence or amount of a commission does not determine a clinic's score, ranking position or editorial assessment.
Advertising and sponsored content
We may publish advertising or sponsored content to help fund the website.
Paid material will be clearly distinguished from independent editorial content using labels such as:
- Advertisement
- Sponsored
- Paid partnership
- Partner content
Advertisers and commercial partners may review sponsored content for factual accuracy, but they may not control:
- independent clinic scorecards;
- ranking positions;
- complaint classifications;
- evidence assessments;
- editorial conclusions; or
- the scoring methodology.
Sponsored content does not automatically constitute an editorial recommendation.
Editorial independence
Our clinic assessments are produced under a published scoring methodology that defines:
- the categories being assessed;
- the maximum points available;
- the types of evidence accepted;
- how complaints and safety concerns are treated;
- how missing or conflicting evidence is handled;
- how confidence grades are assigned; and
- how rankings are calculated.
The same published scoring rules are intended to apply to every clinic included in the assessed dataset.
Commercial relationships must not alter:
- scoring thresholds;
- category weights;
- accepted evidence standards;
- complaint inclusion rules;
- confidence grades;
- correction procedures; or
- a clinic's right of reply.
Our full methodology is available at our ranking methodology. Our downloadable score data and supporting records are available at data & downloads. Our corrections and dataset changes are recorded in the public change log.
How clinics are selected and listed
Our clinic register is compiled from publicly available information and other evidence sources described in our methodology.
Sources may include:
- official Turkish Ministry of Health records;
- international health-tourism authorisation records;
- HealthTürkiye;
- clinic and hospital websites;
- professional registers;
- company and organisational records;
- Google Business Profiles;
- Trustpilot;
- WhatClinic; and
- other public directories, registers and publications.
Inclusion in the clinic register does not mean that a clinic has been inspected, endorsed, accredited or approved by Top Dental Clinics Turkey.
A clinic may be listed even when there is insufficient evidence to assign it a complete score or ranking position.
We distinguish between:
- information confirmed through an official or primary source;
- information stated by the clinic;
- information reported by a third party;
- information that could not be independently verified; and
- information for which no current evidence was found.
Failure to locate evidence is not automatically treated as proof that a licence, qualification, service or policy does not exist.
Reviews and patient feedback
Patient feedback is one component of our research. It is not treated as conclusive proof of clinical quality or clinical misconduct.
We do not rank clinics solely by their average star rating.
Where patient feedback is assessed, we may consider:
- the number and recency of reviews;
- recurring complaint patterns;
- allegations of clinical complications or harm;
- aftercare and communication disputes;
- payment or refund disputes;
- the level of detail provided;
- possible duplicate or coordinated reviews;
- the clinic's public response;
- whether the complaint is supported by additional evidence; and
- whether the feedback relates to the correct clinic or legal entity.
Third-party review platforms retain responsibility for their own content and moderation policies.
We do not claim ownership of third-party reviews. Unless authorised, we do not republish complete review texts in our downloadable datasets. We may publish links, classifications, dates, anonymised summaries and our own editorial analysis.
Composite scores and ratings
Any score displayed by Top Dental Clinics Turkey is an original editorial assessment produced under our published methodology.
Our scores are not equivalent to:
- a Google rating;
- a Trustpilot TrustScore;
- a WhatClinic rating;
- a government inspection result;
- a clinical success rate; or
- an official accreditation decision.
Where information from multiple platforms is considered, it is evaluated as supporting evidence rather than combined into a simple average unless the methodology explicitly states otherwise.
Scores may change when:
- new evidence becomes available;
- a source is corrected or removed;
- a clinic submits verifiable information;
- licensing or professional-registration information changes;
- complaints are resolved, withdrawn or substantiated;
- the methodology is updated; or
- data-quality errors are identified.
The methodology version and last review date are displayed with each clinic scorecard.
Right of reply
Every clinic may submit:
- factual corrections;
- updated licensing or credential evidence;
- clarification of ownership or identity;
- responses to published findings;
- evidence that a complaint concerns another business;
- evidence that information is outdated; or
- evidence that a complaint has been resolved.
Clinics are not required to pay to submit evidence, request a correction or exercise a right of reply.
A response does not guarantee that a score or editorial conclusion will change. Changes must be supported by evidence and assessed under the same methodology applied to other clinics.
Material corrections are recorded in our public change log.
Correction and right-of-reply requests can be sent to info@topdentalclinicsturkey.com.
Our limitations
Top Dental Clinics Turkey is primarily a desk-based research and data platform. Unless explicitly stated, we do not conduct physical inspections of clinics.
Our assessments are limited by:
- the availability and accuracy of public information;
- delays in official registers being updated;
- changes in clinic ownership, staff or licensing;
- limitations of third-party review platforms;
- private evidence that is not publicly available;
- unverifiable claims made by clinics or reviewers;
- differences between individual dentists working at the same clinic; and
- the date on which each source was last checked.
A high score does not guarantee a successful clinical outcome. A low score does not prove negligence, illegality or professional misconduct.
Patients should independently confirm:
- the clinic's current operating status;
- applicable health-tourism authorisations;
- the identity and qualifications of the treating dentist;
- the proposed treatment plan;
- the risks and alternatives;
- the brands and materials to be used;
- the full written price;
- guarantee and warranty conditions;
- aftercare arrangements; and
- the procedure for handling complications after returning home.
