⚡ Quick Answer
An interactive dental chart is a digital diagram of your full set of teeth. You click on each tooth and select what's happening — missing, painful, sensitive, crown needed, veneer candidate. The chart becomes the clinical starting point for your Dental Health Report, and later for the treatment plans that verified clinics build for you. Takes around 2 minutes. Free.
A dental chart is what a dentist fills in during your first appointment. They mark which teeth have fillings, which have been extracted, where there's sensitivity, which have crowns or bridges. It's the clinical map of your mouth.
MyDentalFly's interactive dental chart lets you do this yourself — at home, before you travel — so by the time a clinic sees you, they already have something to work from. Not a photo. A chart.
How It Works
You see a full dental diagram: upper and lower arches, all 32 tooth positions. Click a tooth and a symptom menu appears:
| Symptom | What It Means Clinically |
|---|---|
| Missing | Extraction site — implant, bridge, or denture may be needed |
| Painful | Active pain — possible decay, infection, cracked tooth, or nerve issue |
| Sensitive | Sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure — enamel wear, recession, or decay |
| Crown needed | Existing crown, broken tooth, or heavily filled tooth requiring a cap |
| Veneer candidate | Cosmetic work — discolouration, chips, shape, or size |
| Filling | Existing filling or suspected decay |
| Implant site | Already extracted, planning replacement |
Mark as many teeth as apply. You can mark multiple symptoms on the same tooth.
Why Clinics Need This, Not a Photo
A photo tells a clinic what the front of your teeth look like in a particular light, on a particular day. The chart tells them which teeth are missing and need replacing, where there's active pain that might mean infection or nerve involvement, which teeth are candidates for cosmetic work versus which need clinical treatment first, and how complex the case actually is.
That's what drives the difference between a generic quote and a plan built around what you actually need.
"Some pressure is normal but sharp pain isn't — might need adjusting"
Pain symptoms flagged on the chart help clinics triage what's cosmetic and what's clinical. A veneer plan on a painful tooth rarely makes sense until the pain is resolved. The chart makes that obvious before you travel.

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.

Beyond the Teeth
The interactive chart is part of a wider assessment. After the chart, you answer questions that matter clinically and cosmetically.
Current smile: What it looks like now. Any aspects you dislike — gaps, discolouration, crowding, worn teeth.
Desired look: What you want. Natural white, bright white, uniform shape. Celebrities' smiles are fine as reference points.
Priorities: Cost, material longevity, minimal drilling, trip length, number of visits — what matters most.
Health questions: Allergies, medications, history of gum disease, bleeding gums, jaw pain, dry mouth, previous root canals or extractions.
X-rays: Upload if you have them. Clinics with X-rays return significantly more accurate plans than clinics working from a chart alone.
From Chart to Three Clinically Reviewed Plans
Once your chart and health questions are complete, the system generates your Dental Health Report. For each marked tooth, it recommends a treatment, explains why, and shows you both standard and premium material options with the cost difference.
Your report then goes to up to 3 matched clinics. Each reviews it and returns a treatment plan: treatments listed per tooth, doctor notes, estimated trip length, number of clinic visits, and a probability indicator for any additional work that might be needed once in-person X-rays are taken.
Three plans. Side by side in your patient portal.
The interactive dental chart is where that process starts. It takes 2 minutes.
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.
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.
