What's in a Dental Health Report?

A private UK dentist charges £50–80 for an initial consultation. You sit in the chair, describe what's bothering you, and they do a visual examination. You leave knowing roughly what needs doing.

That's the baseline. It's useful. And it's what most patients don't have before they start contacting clinics abroad.

The MyDentalFly Dental Health Report covers the same ground — from your phone or laptop, before you travel, for free.

Here's exactly what's inside.

What a Private Dentist Does in a £50 Consultation

Three things, mostly.

First, they take a history. They ask what's bothering you — pain, sensitivity, gaps, aesthetics — and note any medical conditions, allergies, or medications that could affect treatment.

Second, they look at your teeth. They chart which ones are missing, which have existing work, where there's visible decay, and where the gumline is receding.

Third, they give you a starting direction. Not a full treatment plan — that requires X-rays. But enough to know what you're dealing with. "That tooth needs a crown." "We should look at an implant there." "Those are veneer candidates."

That's worth £50 because it gives you a clinical baseline before you spend anything.

The Dental Health Report covers all three. Online. Free.

Based on average private UK initial dental consultation fees — typically £50–80 at independent practices.

What the Dental Health Report Includes

The interactive dental chart. A full diagram of your upper and lower arches — all 32 tooth positions. Click any tooth and mark what's happening:

Takes 2–3 minutes. It records the same information a dentist puts in a paper chart at your first appointment.

The health questions. After the chart you answer questions about what your smile looks like now, what you'd like to change, and relevant health history — allergies, bleeding gums, jaw pain, previous root canals. Upload recent X-rays if you have them. Clinics that receive X-rays return significantly more accurate plans with fewer "subject to change on arrival" caveats.

Personalised treatment recommendations. Based on what you marked, the report generates a treatment-by-treatment breakdown. Each recommendation includes a plain-English explanation of why it's needed, what it involves, and typical timescales. You can read how the full assessment works here if you want the step-by-step.

Standard vs Premium: The Toggle That Changes the Numbers

This is the part most patients don't know about.

Every treatment recommendation has two modes. Toggle between them and the costs update live.

Standard: Composite veneers, MIS or Osstem implants, zirconia crowns at the accessible price point. Clinically sound. Good longevity.

Premium: E-max porcelain veneers, Nobel Biocare or Straumann implants, higher-grade zirconia. The same brands used at Harley Street practices. Costs more; lasts longer.

Most patients start on standard, switch to premium, and still save more than they expected. Saving £15,000–20,000 on a full arch case versus the UK means Nobel Biocare implants in Istanbul still costs a fraction of MIS implants in London.

The report also gives you an estimated trip length — how many days in Turkey or Hungary based on your specific case. Worth knowing before you touch a flight search.

What Happens After Your Report

Your Dental Health Report goes to up to 3 matched clinics — matched on your treatment needs, budget, and priorities, not just location. You can see how clinic matching works on our results page.

Each clinic's clinical team reviews it and sends back a full treatment plan within 24–72 hours. Not a quote — a plan. Specific treatments listed per tooth, doctor notes explaining the clinical reasoning, number of visits, trip length, 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. Same row structure, same currency.

Unlike directories like WhatClinic or Dental Departures — which list any clinic willing to pay for leads — MyDentalFly has assessed every clinic on the platform. Seven have been rejected. The clinics reviewing your report have been verified for accreditation, implant brands, and review history.

If anything in the plans is confusing — different treatment recommendations between clinics, terminology you don't recognise, a cost you weren't expecting — call us free from your browser below. We assess your dental health over the phone and talk you through your Dental Health Report worth £50. We have direct relationships with every clinic on the platform and can clarify anything on your behalf.

FAQ

Is the Dental Health Report really free?

Yes — no payment, no sign-up required to start. The assessment is how the platform matches you with clinics, so the report is the starting point of the whole process.

Why do you say it's worth £50?

Private UK dentists charge £50–80 for an initial consultation — a visual examination, symptom history, and basic treatment direction. The DHR covers the same ground: charting your teeth, recording symptoms, and generating personalised treatment recommendations. The £50 figure is the conservative floor of what independent practices charge. You can read more about why it's free here.

Do I need X-rays before I start?

No — but upload them if you have recent ones. X-rays from an NHS appointment in the last 12 months are useful. Clinics that receive X-rays return more accurate plans with fewer "subject to change on arrival" caveats.

How is this different from a quote?

A quote is a number. A Dental Health Report is a clinical starting point — it tells you what you need before any clinic tells you what they want to sell you. That changes the entire dynamic when you're comparing plans from different clinics.

Can I get the report without booking anything?

Yes. The report is yours regardless of whether you proceed. Most patients use it to compare options over a few weeks before committing to a clinic.
