Medical review policy

What we mean when we say a page has been clinically reviewed, who does that reviewing, and what that review can and cannot tell you.

What gets clinically reviewed

Every page on this site that makes a clinical claim about All-on-4 or All-on-6 — candidacy, procedure steps, bone requirements, healing timelines, survival and complication rates, or comparisons between the two — goes through clinical review before publication and again whenever we make a material update. Purely commercial or logistical pages (contact details, travel arrangements) are not clinically reviewed because they contain no clinical claims to check.

Who reviews our content

Clinical review is carried out by GDC-registered UK dentists on our review panel — full names and register numbers are published on our editorial team page, and every registration can be checked independently on the General Dental Council's public register at olr.gdc-uk.org. Sample panel members:

Taki Dent's own Specialist Prosthodontist, Dr Sadık Taki, is our disclosed clinical partner's clinician — he treats patients at Taki Dent and is never the author or reviewer of content on this site. Reviewer and byline are always the same named person, so a claim of "clinically reviewed" always points to a specific, checkable individual, not a generic label.

What "clinically reviewed" means

A clinically reviewed page has been read by one of the panel dentists above, who checks that: the description of each procedure is accurate to current UK clinical understanding; any statistic (survival rate, complication rate, healing timeframe) is sourced and not overstated; comparative claims about All-on-4 versus All-on-6 are conditional rather than absolute, reflecting that the right configuration depends on an individual's anatomy, bone volume, bite forces and prosthetic plan; and the page does not imply a guarantee of any treatment outcome. The reviewer's name and the review date are shown on the page itself, alongside the editorial byline.

What clinical review does not mean

Clinical review is not a substitute for an in-person, or CT-guided, examination by a dentist who has actually seen your mouth, your bone and your medical history. It does not mean the reviewer has assessed you as an individual, and it does not mean the general figures on this site will apply to your specific case. Implant dentistry outcomes vary by patient, and a page being clinically reviewed for general accuracy is a different thing from a personalised treatment plan. Nothing on this site diagnoses a condition, confirms candidacy for a procedure, or replaces a consultation.

This is general information — a YMYL caution

Dental treatment decisions affect your health, so we treat this content with the same caution search engines apply to "your money or your life" (YMYL) topics: every numeric claim traces to a named, checkable source, comparative language stays conditional rather than absolute, and we avoid presenting any single figure — including implant survival percentages — as if it applied uniformly to every patient or every study.

Review frequency and updates

Clinically reviewed pages are re-checked periodically and whenever we become aware of new evidence, updated professional guidance, or a factual error. The "last medically reviewed" date shown on each page reflects the most recent full clinical check, not necessarily the date of every minor copy edit. If you believe a clinical claim on this site is out of date or incorrect, see our corrections policy for how to report it.
