Dr. Sadık Taki is a qualified <strong class="text-navy-900" data-astro-cid-j7pv25f6>Specialist Prosthodontist</strong> with over 12 years of combined clinical and academic experience in restorative and aesthetic dentistry. He is the founder and chief dentist of <a href="https://takident.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text-navy-700 font-semibold underline decoration-gold-400 underline-offset-2 hover:decoration-gold-600 transition-colors" data-astro-cid-j7pv25f6>Taki Dent</a>, Antalya's highest-rated dental clinic for UK and international patients.
</p><p data-astro-cid-j7pv25f6>
After earning his DDS at <strong class="text-navy-900" data-astro-cid-j7pv25f6>Ankara University, Faculty of Dentistry</strong> (2016), Dr. Taki completed specialty training in Prosthodontics at <strong class="text-navy-900" data-astro-cid-j7pv25f6>Eskişehir Osmangazi University</strong> (2020), qualifying as a <strong class="text-navy-900" data-astro-cid-j7pv25f6>Specialist in Prosthodontics</strong> recognised by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health. He built an academic career as a Research Assistant in Prosthodontics at Eskişehir Osmangazi University (2017–2020) and then as <strong class="text-navy-900" data-astro-cid-j7pv25f6>Assistant Professor at Ankara Medipol University</strong> (2020–2022). During that period, he published 17 peer-reviewed papers in leading international dental journals, accumulating 57 academic citations.
</p><p data-astro-cid-j7pv25f6>
In October 2022, Dr. Taki founded Taki Dent in Antalya, bringing research-backed clinical expertise directly to patients. His published work on marginal bone loss around implants, implant-retained overdentures, and prosthetic rehabilitation directly informs the protocols used at the clinic — evidence-based care rather than marketing claims.
