Clinical review

Every treatment guide is checked by a dentist.

Our guides are written by the Smile Advocates team from UK regulator guidance, published research and price data. Before a treatment guide is published, and whenever it’s updated, a qualified dentist reviews it for clinical accuracy.

Dr. Merve Ballıca reviews our guides on implants, full-arch treatment, veneers, crowns and aftercare. Each reviewed guide shows a “Medically reviewed by” line and the date it was last updated.

What a clinical review checks

  • That descriptions of treatments, materials and procedures are accurate
  • That timelines, numbers of trips and healing times are realistic
  • That risks, side effects and who a treatment isn't suitable for are explained fairly
  • That nothing overstates results or plays down risk
  • That aftercare advice is sound and matches UK guidance

Reviewers check clinical content. Prices, travel details and our own process are checked by our team. Read our editorial policy for how we write and source guides.

Keeping reviews independent

Clinics pay us a fee when a patient goes ahead with treatment (see how we’re paid). That relationship has no say over what our guides say. Clinical reviewers can ask for any change they think is needed for accuracy, and we make it.

Guides are general information

A guide can’t replace advice from a dentist who has examined you. Your treating dentist is responsible for your diagnosis and treatment plan.
