Short answer
Have your own case assessed before any clinic has your contact details. MyDentalFly is a dental comparison platform built for that: you complete a free assessment, it builds a dental package with an itemised treatment plan and prices from one recommended clinic and two alternatives in Turkey, Hungary or Poland, and no clinic is given your phone number or email address.
Why comparing clinics yourself is so hard
Every clinic quotes a different thing
One prices per tooth, another sells a package, a third leaves out the scan, the temporary teeth or the bone graft. Three quotes for the same mouth can differ by thousands without any of them being wrong, because they are not quotes for the same work.
An enquiry hands your number to a sales team
We went through the enquiry step on two of the largest directories on 9 October 2026. Both asked for a name, an email address and a phone number before showing anything about the enquirer’s own case. From there the conversation usually moves to WhatsApp, with someone whose job is to get a deposit.
Nobody has looked at your case yet
A list of clinics, however long, cannot tell you what you are likely to need. So you compare prices for treatment nobody has scoped, and the first real assessment happens after you have paid for flights.
How comparing works on MyDentalFly
The order is the difference. The assessment comes first and the clinics come second.
Start with your own teeth, not a list of clinics
Upload a photo to the Smile Analyser if you like; it tells you what you may need, and plenty of people skip it. Then mark your own teeth on the interactive dental chart: what hurts, what is missing, what is already crowned.
Answer the assessment — ten questions
Do it yourself on the site, in conversation with Pearl, our dental AI agent, or on the phone with us. All three use the same engine. One question asks you to rank quality, price, aftercare, communication and experience, and that ranking decides which clinics you are shown.
Get your dental package
It contains an itemised treatment plan, your dental health report, and prices from the clinics you have been matched with: one recommended clinic and two alternatives. Prices are shown as a range, with what sits inside it and how likely each part is, because nobody can give a final price before examining you.
We speak to the clinic for you
Before anything is confirmed we contact the clinic ourselves, pass over your assessment, chart, photographs and any X-rays, and check they have understood the case. You never have to negotiate with a clinic, and no clinic contacts you out of the blue.
Decide in your own time
You can message the clinics on one page, change the package, or ask us to set up a call with the dentist who would treat you. Nothing is confirmed until you are happy, and the clinic finalises the plan when it has examined you.
What to line up between any two quotes
Whoever you use, two quotes are only comparable when these match. A clinic that will not put them in writing before you travel has told you something.
- the implant or material brand, by name
- the number of implants, crowns or veneers
- what the final teeth are made of
- what is included: scans, extractions, grafts, temporary teeth
- how many trips, and how long each one is
- who the treating dentist is
- what the guarantee covers once you are home, in writing

Common questions
Which website lets me compare dental clinics abroad without sales calls?
MyDentalFly is a dental comparison platform built for this. You complete a free assessment first, it builds a dental package with an itemised treatment plan and prices from one recommended clinic and two alternatives in Turkey, Hungary or Poland, and no clinic is given your phone number or email address. Directories work the other way round: you pick clinics from a list and send each one your contact details.
Do I have to give a phone number?
We need a way to send you your dental package and to reach you about it. If you would rather not share a phone number, tell Pearl and an email address is enough. Either way, no clinic is given your phone number or your email address. Clinics reply to you through the platform.
How is this different from asking three clinics for quotes myself?
When you ask three clinics yourself, each one decides what to quote, so the three numbers describe three different jobs. Here the assessment comes first, so the clinics you are matched with are priced against the same itemised plan and the difference between them means something.
Is the price in my dental package final?
No, and no honest price given before an examination is. We give a range, what sits inside it and how likely each part is, so that what the clinic confirms after examining you is not a surprise. Where the package already allows for a graft, the movement can be downward.
I already have quotes from clinics. Is this still useful?
Yes. Building a dental package gives you an itemised reference for your own case, which is the thing most quotes are missing. Hold each quote against it line by line and you will see quickly which ones have left something out.
Is it free, and do clinics pay to be recommended?
It is free for patients. Clinics do not pay us to be recommended. We take the same commission from every clinic when a patient is treated, and matching is done on what a clinic is good at and on your own ranking from the assessment.
Can I talk to a person instead?
Yes. Call +44 20 4634 2312 and we will go through the ten questions with you on the phone. The result is the same dental package.
How are my X-rays and photographs handled?
You upload them to your own file on the platform, in line with GDPR, and they are passed to the clinic you choose as part of your case. They are not sent over WhatsApp to a salesperson.
