How the dataset is built
Every field in the register, where it comes from, when it was read and what is missing.
Register fields (legal name, authorisation number, city, year founded, staff numbers) come from the Ministry of Health’s HealthTürkiye facility pages, read on 22 October 2026. The five website checks come from each clinic’s own pages, with a link to the page used. Google ratings and review counts were read through DataForSEO on the same date. Clinic counts per city come from the HealthTürkiye facility search.
The fields
| Field | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Legal name, city, address | HealthTürkiye facility page | As the Ministry shows it. Brand names are ours, from the clinic’s website. |
| Authorisation number | HealthTürkiye facility page | Older entries show ST- numbers; newer ones a long number. |
| Year founded | HealthTürkiye facility page | The year the register gives, which can be the year of the current legal entity. |
| Health professionals, staff | HealthTürkiye facility page | Declared by the clinic. Large groups may report group-wide staff. |
| Named dentists | Clinic website | Link to the team page used. |
| Guarantee periods | Clinic website | Text summarised; periods only count if stated per treatment. |
| Implant brands | Clinic website | Brands the clinic names. We do not check stock. |
| Prices | Clinic website | Copied as written, with the unit. |
| Google rating and count | Google Maps, via DataForSEO | Read on 22 October 2026. Missing for some clinics (see below). |
| Clinics per city | HealthTürkiye facility search | Private oral and dental health clinics, by city. |
Known gaps
- Review figures. Our DataForSEO credit ran out during the October 2026 check. Clinics in Muğla, Aydın and Ankara, and one in Istanbul, have no Google figures yet and do not get the review point until we read them.
- Turkish-only websites. Some clinics publish their team, guarantee or prices only in Turkish, or not at all. We checked Turkish pages where we found them, but may have missed some.
- Branches. Groups with many branches have one entry per branch on HealthTürkiye. We list the branch named, and its own authorisation number.
- Coverage. The register covers 23 of the 1,117 clinics on the Ministry list. See who can be listed.
How often it is updated
We aim to re-read every field at least every three months, and immediately after a correction. Each clinic page shows the date of its last check.
