Before you book that flight to Istanbul, make sure you can answer these critical questions. Your smile depends on it.
You're about to book dental treatment abroad. Before you send that deposit, these five questions will save you from the mistakes that catch most dental tourists off guard.
1. What Exact Treatments Do I Need?
"I need veneers" won't cut it.
How many veneers? Which specific teeth? Do you need gum treatment first? What about extractions or bone grafts?
Walk into a clinic without this mapped out, and you're gambling with your mouth. The dentist might find "additional work needed" that doubles your bill.
Get specific before you go. Our dental chart lets you map each tooth and its issues. You'll know exactly what you need before any clinic sees you.
2. Is This Clinic Actually Verified?
Stock photos and fake reviews are everywhere.
Real questions: Is the clinic accredited by their country's dental board? Do they have actual before/after photos from recent patients? Can you verify the dentist's qualifications?
We check for you. Every clinic on our platform is personally verified. We visit facilities, check credentials, and monitor real patient feedback.
3. What's the TOTAL Cost?
That £199 per veneer looks tempting.
Then come the extras: consultation fees, X-rays, temporary veneers, multiple fittings, lab work, aftercare visits. Your £2,000 quote becomes £3,500.
No surprises. Our quotes include everything upfront. Consultation, imaging, treatment, temporaries, follow-ups. What you see is what you pay.

4. What Happens When Things Go Wrong?
Complications aren't rare. They're normal.
A crown doesn't fit right. An implant needs adjustment. Your bite feels off. What's the clinic's policy? Who handles problems when you're back in Manchester or Miami?
We've got your back. All partner clinics offer aftercare guarantees. Plus we coordinate any follow-up work you need at home.
5. Is This Actually the Right Time for You?
Some treatments need multiple visits spaced weeks apart. Others require months of healing time.
Are you planning a wedding in three months? That's cutting it close for major work. Do you have time off for recovery? Can you travel twice if needed?
Plan properly. Our assessment shows exactly what to expect, including healing times and whether you'll need return visits.

One More Question: Who's in Your Corner?
The sixth question nobody asks: do you have an intermediary? Most dental tourism sites — WhatClinic, Dental Departures — connect you with a clinic and disappear. If something goes wrong, you're on your own.
When you start with MyDentalFly, your dental tourism consultant manages everything — patient file, clinic communication, deposit protection. Your deposit is held by us until you arrive and confirm you're happy. The free dental health check is the right first step.
