Short answer
dentaltourism.guide is an independent, English-language information site for people considering dental treatment abroad. It uses Türkiye as its worked example. It is not a clinic, an agency, a directory or an official body, and it gives information, not medical or legal advice.
Editorial content is not for sale. No clinic pays for coverage, rankings or listings, and we take no referral fees.
What this site is, and is not
It is
- A set of plain-language guides on rights, verification, risks, aftercare and data.
- Built on official sources first, with weaker sources labelled as secondary.
It is not
- A list or ranking of clinics, agencies or dentists.
- A booking, referral or lead-generation service.
- Medical or legal advice, or an official body of any government.
- A place to make a patient complaint (see the complaints guide).
How independence is protected
- No paid coverage. A clinic cannot buy a mention, a review, a ranking or a “sponsored guide”.
- No referral fees. We do not earn a commission when a reader contacts or books with any provider.
- No endorsement. An authorisation certificate is not a quality ranking.
- Conflicts are disclosed. If the site's funding changes in a way readers should know about, this page says so.
How we use sources
- Official first.Legislation, ministry and agency pages, statistics offices and regulators.
- Professional and academic next.Professional bodies, peer-reviewed work and recognised guidance.
- Secondary sources are labelled.News, law-firm articles and directories are marked “secondary”, and figures taken from them are shown as “as reported”.
- Commercial sources are marked.Clinic blogs and market reports are labelled “commercial” and never used as official data.
How pages are checked
- Every guide is written from the sources listed at the end of the page. Where sources disagree, the page says so instead of picking one.
- Figures are shown with their source and date, and figures measured in different ways are not added together.
- The guides have not yet been reviewed by a practising dentist or lawyer. When a page has been reviewed, it will show the reviewer's name, qualification and the date of the review.
- Price figures come from quotes that patients send us anonymously. They are published only for groups of at least ten quotes.
- Nothing on this site is medical or legal advice. Talk to a licensed dentist about your own teeth.
Corrections and updates
- Each guide shows the month it was last updated.
- If we find that a figure or statement was wrong, we correct it and add a dated correction note.
- Links and official contact details are re-checked every three months.
- To report an error, write to us. Please give the page, the statement and a source.
