What Is a Dental Package?
A dental package is a free, personalised treatment plan built from an interactive dental assessment. It maps your teeth, recommends treatments, matches you with the best clinic for your priorities, and estimates total costs in your local currency (GBP, USD, EUR, or AED) — including hotel and flight estimates. Built from real pricing across MyDentalFly's 29 verified clinics in Turkey, Hungary, Poland, and Dubai.
It starts with a quick dental assessment: mark which teeth have problems on a visual chart, answer a short health questionnaire, and optionally scan your smile with AI. The system then builds your package — recommending treatments, matching a clinic based on your priorities (cost, quality, location, materials), and estimating your total trip cost.
Unlike a clinic quote — which is typically based on a WhatsApp conversation and a single X-ray — a dental package captures your full dental picture before any clinic sees your case. When you send it for clinical review, the clinic already has your complete case file and can confirm the plan with exact pricing.
Key Insight
A dental package is not a diagnosis — it is a data-driven preliminary treatment plan that helps you understand your needs, costs, and matched clinic before committing to anything.
Types of Treatment
AI Smile Scan
OptionalAn optional first step where you take a selfie and AI analyses the visible condition of your teeth. It identifies issues like gaps, discolouration, misalignment, and visible damage — giving you instant feedback and a before/after preview of what treatment could achieve.
Interactive Dental Chart
IncludedA visual map of all 32 teeth where you mark which teeth are missing, painful, damaged, or need cosmetic work. Each tooth is clickable and allows you to specify the type of issue — giving the system precise data to build your package.
Health & Priorities Questionnaire
IncludedA short questionnaire covering medical history, treatment preferences, and your priorities — cost, quality, location, specific materials. This is what the matching algorithm uses to find your best-fit clinic.
Matched Clinic & Treatment Plan
IncludedBased on your assessment, the system matches you with the best clinic for your specific needs and priorities. Your package includes the clinic's real pricing, materials, guarantees, and included services. Alternative clinics are available if you want to explore other options.
Cost Breakdown & Savings
IncludedYour package shows per-treatment costs at the matched clinic in your local currency, a comparison with your home country prices, total package cost, and estimated savings. No hidden extras — potential additions like bone grafts are flagged upfront.
Hotel & Flight Estimates
IncludedYour package includes estimated flight costs from your departure city, recommended accommodation near the clinic, visit duration, and a day-by-day itinerary — so you can see the full trip cost, not just the dental bill.
Sample Prices Your Package May Include
Your dental package shows exact prices based on your dental chart and matched clinic. These are typical ranges across verified clinics.

The Process: Step by Step
Scan your smile (optional)
30 secondsTake a selfie for instant AI analysis. The Smile Analyser identifies visible issues, gives you a smile score, and shows a before/after preview. Your photo is analysed in real time and not stored.
Complete the dental assessment

Talk through your plan
Book anytimeSpeak to our team about your package. We walk through the treatments, explain your options in plain English, and help you decide if it is right for you. Free, no pressure.
Send to clinic for clinical review
1-3 daysOne click sends your full case to the matched clinic. Their dental team reviews your assessment and confirms the treatment plan with exact pricing — before you book any flights.
Why Build a Dental Package Before Booking?
The problem with dental tourism is that patients make decisions based on incomplete information. A clinic sends a quote after a brief WhatsApp exchange, the patient books flights, and the treatment plan changes on arrival. This is how surprise costs happen.
Know Before You Go
See your full treatment plan, matched clinic, and total cost before speaking to anyone. No pressure, no sales pitch.
Matched to Your Priorities
The clinic match is based on YOUR priorities — cost, quality, location, materials — not a generic recommendation.
Accurate Pricing
Cost estimates based on your specific teeth and real clinic pricing — not generic packages that change on arrival.
Full Trip Cost
Your package includes hotel and flight estimates so you can see the total trip cost, not just the dental bill.
No Surprises
Potential extras like bone grafts or sinus lifts are flagged upfront, so you can budget accurately.
Free & No Obligation
The smile scan, assessment, dental package, and phone consultation are all completely free.
Key Takeaway
Before you book anything, build your dental package. Knowing exactly what treatment you need — and what it should cost — protects you from surprise bills, unnecessary procedures, and gets you matched with the right clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dental package?
A dental package is a free, personalised treatment plan built from your dental assessment. It includes recommended treatments, a matched clinic, cost estimates in your currency, savings vs home country prices, hotel and flight estimates, and a visit timeline — all before any clinic sees your case.
Is a dental package a diagnosis?
No. It is a data-driven preliminary treatment plan based on your self-reported dental chart and health information. Clinical diagnosis happens when you visit the clinic and they take CT scans. However, the package provides 80-90% accuracy for planning and budgeting.
How is this different from a clinic quote?
A clinic quote is typically based on a brief conversation and a single X-ray. A dental package captures your full dental picture — every affected tooth, your symptoms, health history, and priorities — then matches you with the best clinic and builds a complete plan with real pricing.
Is the Smile Analyser accurate?
The AI Smile Analyser identifies visible dental issues like gaps, discolouration, misalignment, and damage. It provides a helpful starting point and a before/after preview, but is not a substitute for clinical examination.
How does the clinic matching work?
The system matches you with a clinic based on your treatment needs, priorities (cost vs quality vs location), and preferred materials. You get one primary match plus alternative clinics if you want to explore more options. It is designed to reduce decision fatigue while still giving you choice.
Can I see alternative clinics?
Yes. Your package matches you with the best clinic for your priorities, but alternative clinics are always visible. You can generate packages with different clinics to compare options.
Do I need to pay anything?
No. The smile scan, dental assessment, dental package, and phone consultation are all completely free with no obligation. You only pay if you choose to proceed — at which point a small holding deposit secures your pricing.
How long does it take?
About 2 minutes for the assessment. The optional smile scan adds 30 seconds. Your dental package is generated instantly. The clinical review from the clinic takes 1-3 days.
