How we write our guides, and how we keep them honest.

• We explain risks and downsides as clearly as benefits
• We don't call any treatment risk-free, painless or the best
• We never present a clinic's work, photos or dentists as our own
• Clinics can't pay to be mentioned, and nothing on this site is sponsored
• We say clearly that we're paid by clinics; see how we're paid

We base our guides on UK regulator and professional guidance, including the General Dental Council, the NHS and the British Dental Association, on published research, and on published price data. Every guide lists its sources at the end so you can check them yourself.

Our treatment guides are reviewed by Dr. Merve Ballıca, Specialist Dentist, for clinical accuracy before they’re published and when they’re updated.

Our guides are general information. They’re not a substitute for advice from a dentist who has examined you.

Prices are published ranges, dated, and shown in GBP. Turkish clinic prices are often “from” prices that may not include everything, which is why we always say so. As we collect written quotes for patients, we’ll replace published ranges with our own anonymised quote data.

Every guide shows when it was last updated, and we review them at least every six months. If you spot a mistake, email hello@smileadvocates.com and we’ll check it and correct it quickly.
