Most people start planning dental work abroad by Googling prices and scrolling through clinic websites for hours. They piece together quotes from WhatsApp messages, compare screenshots in their notes app, and still feel unsure whether they're getting a fair deal.
There's a faster way. MyDentalFly has 9 free tools that let you plan everything — costs, flights, clinic matching, eligibility, even aftercare — before you speak to a single clinic. No signup required for any of them.
Here's what each one does and when to use it.
Savings Calculator — What Will You Actually Save?
The Savings Calculator shows you real price differences between your home country and dental tourism destinations like Turkey and Hungary. Select your treatment, pick a destination, and it converts everything into your currency automatically — GBP, USD, EUR, or AED.
| Treatment | UK Price | Turkey Price | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dental Implant (Standard) | £2,950 | £350–550 | Up to 82% |
| E-max Crown | £900 | £140–250 | Up to 84% |
| All-on-4 (Full Arch) | £18,000 | £4,800–9,000 | Up to 73% |
| Hollywood Smile (8-10 Veneers) | £7,500 | £2,000–4,000 | Up to 73% |
Unlike clinic websites that only show their own prices, this tool pulls from verified pricing across 29+ clinics so you see the real market range — not just what one clinic wants you to see.
Treatment Estimator — Your Full Trip Cost
The Treatment Estimator goes beyond treatment prices. It calculates your full trip cost: dental work + flights + hotel + transfers. Because knowing the implant costs £400 doesn't help much if you haven't factored in the rest.
Enter your treatment plan, departure city, and destination. The tool gives you a realistic total so you can compare "dental holiday abroad" against "same treatment at home" properly.
"Factor in flights, hotel, and potential return trips when comparing UK vs Turkey prices"
That's real advice from dental tourism Facebook groups — and it's exactly what this tool helps you do.
Am I a Candidate? — Check Before You Commit
Not everyone is suitable for every treatment abroad. The Am I a Candidate? tool takes 60 seconds and tells you whether your situation is a good fit for dental tourism — or whether you're better off staying local.
It asks about your dental history, medical conditions, and what you're hoping to achieve. You get an honest answer, not a sales pitch. If you have uncontrolled diabetes or need ongoing orthodontic monitoring, the tool will say so.
No clinic website will tell you that you're not a good candidate. This tool will.
Dental Assessment — Your Free £50 Dental Health Report
The Dental Assessment is the most thorough tool on the platform. It generates a personalised Dental Health Report worth £50 — the same cost as a private consultation with a UK dentist, but free.
You fill in an interactive dental chart (tap the teeth that bother you), answer health questions, and describe your goals. The system generates a treatment recommendation based on your specific situation — not a generic price list.
Once you have your Dental Health Report, Pearl AI (our dental AI trained on your data) can answer follow-up questions. "Will I need a bone graft?" "What's the difference between zirconia and E-max for my case?" It uses your assessment, not generic answers.
This is something directories like WhatClinic and Dental Departures simply don't offer. They list clinics. We assess your teeth first, then match you.
Prefer to talk it through? Call us free from your browser on 020 4634 2312 — a patient manager walks you through the same assessment over the phone.
Find Your Clinic — Matched to Your Needs
The Clinic Finder matches you with the right type of clinic based on 6 factors: treatment type, destination preference, travel timing, priority (quality vs price vs comfort), anxiety level, and budget approach.
Instead of scrolling through dozens of clinic profiles, you answer 6 quick questions and get a personalised recommendation: what type of clinic suits you, which destination makes sense, what brands to look for, what red flags to avoid, and a realistic price range.
"There is no 'best' — it depends on what you need done"
That's the principle behind this tool. Someone with severe dental anxiety needs a boutique clinic with IV sedation. Someone wanting maximum savings needs a high-volume specialist. The Clinic Finder sorts this out in 45 seconds.
Flight Estimator — Routes and Prices From Your City
The Flight Estimator shows you routes, airlines, flight times, and approximate costs from your specific departure city to dental tourism destinations — Istanbul, Antalya, Budapest, and more.
Planning from Manchester? It'll show you direct Pegasus flights for £80-150 return. From New York? Turkish Airlines direct, about 10 hours. The tool handles route-specific details so you're not Googling "flights from [city] to Istanbul" separately.
Combine this with the Treatment Estimator for a complete trip budget.

Prices based on verified averages from our partner clinics. Your exact quote may vary based on your specific clinical needs. The assessment takes 2 minutes and gives you personalised pricing.
Still researching? Good — that's exactly what you should be doing.
The most common things we hear from patients: price changes on arrival, unexpected extra treatments, and not knowing whether the clinic is right for their case. Our dental health check helps you understand what you may need before any clinic gets involved — so you arrive informed, not hopeful.

No sales pitch — he'll answer your questions, explain what to expect, and help you figure out next steps. That's it.
Just browsing? That's fine too — we have 150+ articles and free tools to help your research.
Implant Brand Comparison — Straumann vs Nobel vs MIS
If you're getting implants, the brand matters more than most people realise. The Implant Brand Comparison tool lets you compare the major implant systems side by side — Straumann, Nobel Biocare, MIS, Osstem, Megagen, and others.
For each brand you see: country of manufacture, years of clinical research, surface technology, typical Turkey price, and whether your UK dentist can service it. That last point is critical — if your UK dentist can't identify or maintain an unknown implant brand, you're stuck flying back to Turkey for any future issues.
"Don't just go for the cheapest quote — you get what you pay for"
The comparison tool helps you understand why a £400 implant and a £700 implant aren't the same thing, and when the upgrade is worth it.
UK Aftercare Guide — Recovery and Follow-Up
The UK Aftercare Guide gives you treatment-specific recovery timelines, warning signs to watch for, and advice on UK follow-up care after returning home.
Select your treatment type and get: day-by-day recovery expectations, what's normal vs what needs attention, when to book a UK check-up, what documents to bring (X-rays, implant passport, treatment summary), and NHS vs private costs for follow-up appointments.
"Communication was excellent before I arrived but follow-up after returning home was poor"
That's the most common complaint in dental tourism. This guide makes sure you know exactly what to expect and what to do — even if your clinic's post-treatment communication drops off.
Smile Builder — Design Your New Smile
The Smile Builder lets you visually design your ideal smile. Choose tooth shape, shade, and style to see a preview of what your new smile could look like.
It's particularly useful if you're considering veneers or a Hollywood Smile and want to explore options before your consultation. You can save your design and share it with your clinic so they understand exactly what you're going for.
How These Tools Work Together
The tools aren't isolated — they're designed as a planning sequence:
- Check eligibility with Am I a Candidate?
- See the savings with the Savings Calculator
- Get your full trip cost with the Treatment Estimator + Flight Estimator
- Find the right clinic type with the Clinic Finder
- Compare implant brands if you're getting implants
- Complete your assessment to get a free Dental Health Report worth £50
- Read the aftercare guide to know what happens after treatment
You can use them in any order, and none require an account. If you want everything done in one step, the Dental Assessment combines several of these into a single flow that generates your personalised Dental Health Report and matches you with clinics.
The whole point is that you do the research before committing. No pressure, no sales calls, no clinic trying to close you on WhatsApp. Just tools that give you the information to decide for yourself.
Are these tools really free?
Yes. All 9 tools are completely free with no signup required. The Dental Health Report (generated by the Dental Assessment) is worth £50 — what a UK private dentist charges for an initial consultation — and it's free on MyDentalFly.
Do I need to create an account to use them?
No. Every tool works without an account. If you want to save your results, compare clinics, or track your treatment journey, you can create a free account later.
How is this different from a clinic's website?
Clinics show their own prices and their own reviews. MyDentalFly shows verified pricing from 29+ clinics across Turkey and Hungary, lets you compare up to 3 clinics side by side, and gives you an independent Dental Health Report before you contact any clinic. Directories like Dental Departures list anyone who pays to appear. We reject clinics that don't meet our standards — 8 have been removed so far.
Can I use these from the US, Europe, or UAE?
Yes. All tools support GBP, USD, EUR, and AED. The Savings Calculator and Treatment Estimator show prices in your selected currency. The Flight Estimator covers departure cities across the UK, US, and Europe.
What's the best first tool to use?
Start with the Savings Calculator to see whether the savings are significant enough for your treatment. If they are, move to the Am I a Candidate? check, then the Dental Assessment for your free Dental Health Report.

Next Steps
The candidacy checker tells you in 60 seconds if you're suitable for implants. The free dental health check maps your teeth and tells you what you actually need. The savings calculator shows verified clinic prices vs home costs.
We've verified every clinic on our platform and removed eight that didn't meet our standards — unlike directories that list anyone who pays. Your dental tourism consultant coordinates everything once you're ready.
London vs Istanbul — how much could you save?
Patients from London save 50–70% on dental treatment at verified clinics in Istanbul — just 4 hours away.

Key Takeaway
Before you book anything, get a dental health check. Knowing exactly what treatment you need — and what it should cost — protects you from surprise bills, unnecessary procedures, and clinics that don't match your needs.
Know what you may need before you fly
The most common concerns we hear from patients:
- •“The price changed when I arrived — they said I needed extra work”
- •“I didn't know which clinic was right for my situation”
- •“I had no way to compare — every clinic quoted different things”
We built MyDentalFly to solve these problems. Not by replacing clinics, but by making sure you understand what you may need before any clinic gets involved.
Our interactive dental health check lets you map your teeth, answer a few health questions, and get a free report showing what treatment you may need and what it could cost. It's interactive, easy to understand, and designed for people without a dental background.
From there, we match you with clinics based on your actual dental situation — not every clinic suits every case. Some cases need experienced surgeons, some need specific equipment. You compare real treatment plans side by side and decide when you're ready.

Why use a platform for dental treatment abroad?
Think of us like Booking.com for dental tourism — except we assess you first.
Getting dental work abroad means navigating a different healthcare system, a different language, and clinics you've never visited — all while trying to understand what treatment you actually need. Most people do this alone, piecing together information from WhatsApp messages and online reviews.
MyDentalFly organises the entire process. Your dental needs are assessed before you travel, you compare treatment plans from vetted clinics side by side, and everything — from your initial assessment to your aftercare notes — is documented on your patient portal. We're not a clinic and we don't sell treatment. We're the layer between you and the clinic that keeps everything transparent and on track.
Assessed before you fly
Know exactly what you need before any clinic touches you
Vetted clinics only
We monitor standards and remove clinics that fall short
Everything documented
