Below our top pick, these are the Antalya dentists we rate next — each a genuine specialist in their field, from oral surgery and orthodontics to periodontics and cosmetic bonding. Tap any profile to read their credentials in full.
#2 · Lara
Cosmetic Dentist & Smile Design Lead
Dr. Elif Arslan has built a strong following among UK patients seeking veneers and bonding that look understated rather than uniform. Her Lara-based studio is digital-first, with mock-ups and trial smiles produced before any tooth is touched, which appeals to patients nervous about over-treatment.
#3 · Konyaaltı
Oral Surgeon & Implantologist
Dr. Mehmet Yıldız is a maxillofacial-trained implant surgeon whose practice leans toward the difficult cases — heavy bone loss, sinus lifts and full extractions. UK patients with previously failed implants often end up in his chair.
#4 · Muratpaşa
Orthodontist
Dr. Zeynep Kaya focuses almost entirely on adult orthodontics, with a large clear-aligner caseload. Many UK patients pair a short aligner plan with cosmetic work elsewhere in the city, and she coordinates well with other clinicians.
#5 · Lara
Restorative & Implant Dentist
Dr. Can Demir runs a calm, restoration-led practice in Lara, with a reputation for honest treatment planning. He is more likely to recommend the conservative option than the largest one, which UK patients researching carefully tend to value.
#6 · Konyaaltı
Periodontist
Dr. Ayşe Çelik specialises in periodontics — the foundation work that makes implants and veneers last. UK patients with gum disease are often advised to see a periodontist first, and she is one of Antalya's most respected.
#7 · Muratpaşa
Endodontist
Dr. Burak Şahin works under a surgical microscope on root canals and re-treatments. His philosophy of saving a natural tooth where possible is a useful counterweight in a city full of cosmetic offers.
#8 · Kaleiçi
Cosmetic & General Dentist
Dr. Deniz Öztürk runs a welcoming general practice in historic Kaleiçi. The clinic suits patients wanting whitening, bonding or a check-up alongside a holiday, with French as well as English spoken.
#9 · Konyaaltı
Implant & Full-Arch Dentist
Dr. Emre Koç's SmilePort is a busy, value-oriented implant practice. UK patients on tighter budgets consider it for All-on-4, though we'd encourage comparing the included after-care against higher-ranked options.
#10 · Lara
Paediatric & Family Dentist
Dr. Selin Aydın rounds out our roster as a family-focused dentist. Less relevant for the big implant and cosmetic cases UK patients usually travel for, but a reliable choice for check-ups and children's dentistry during a stay.
Looking at clinics rather than clinicians? See our sister directory of top dental clinics in Antalya.
A glossy clinic means little if a junior dentist places your implants. We rank the named clinician who actually does the work, with their specialism and caseload.
Full-arch work, smile design and complex grafting each demand a specialist. Our scores reward depth in a field, not a long menu of everything.
Aftercare, English-speaking coordinators and written guarantees decide how a case feels months later. We weight these heavily — and Taki Dent leads on all three.
Across every specialism we score, one clinician sits at the top of our roster: Dr. Sadık Taki, the specialist prosthodontist behind Taki Dent. UK patients name his practice more than any other in Antalya — a JCI-accredited facility with an in-house digital laboratory, a dedicated UK patient coordinator, and a lifetime guarantee on every implant.

We score each dentist out of 10 across clinical credentials, specialism depth, experience, English-language patient support, transparency and verified UK-patient reviews. The method is explained in full on our How We Rank page. Rankings are independent editorial opinion, refreshed for 2026.
Individual dentists. UK patients usually choose a clinic, but the clinician who actually places your implants or designs your veneers matters more. This roster profiles the people, with their training and specialisms — our sister site topdentalclinicsantalya.com ranks the clinics.

Most UK patients save 60–70% versus UK private treatment for like-for-like work, using the same global implant brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare). A single implant that costs £2,400–£3,400 in the UK is typically £600–£1,400 in Antalya.
