Bookimed is one of the largest medical tourism aggregators, connecting patients with clinics across 30+ countries for everything from dental work to bariatric surgery. MyDentalFly is a dental-specific platform built around a different model: assess your needs first, then compare verified clinic prices. This comparison explains the real differences so you can choose the right platform for your dental trip.
Side-by-side comparison of key features.
| Feature | Bookimed | MyDentalFly |
|---|---|---|
| Patient assessment before booking | Basic enquiry form. Clinics receive your contact details and reach out directly. No structured assessment. | Full interactive dental chart, questionnaire, and intelligent treatment recommendations — you understand your needs before contacting any clinic. |
| Price transparency | Prices shown as estimates or ranges. Final pricing requires direct clinic communication. | Real clinic prices displayed upfront in your currency. Compare multiple clinics side by side before making contact. |
| Multi-currency display | Prices primarily in USD. Limited currency conversion. | Prices in GBP, USD, EUR, AED with live exchange rates. Savings calculated vs your home country. |
| Dental chart and treatment plan | No dental chart. Treatment selection is based on what the patient thinks they need or what the clinic suggests after contact. | Interactive dental chart maps your specific teeth and symptoms. Intelligent system recommends treatments based on your inputs. |
| Deposit protection | Payment arrangements made directly between patient and clinic. No standardised deposit protection. | £200 holding deposit secures your booking. Deposit held by platform until treatment begins — not paid directly to the clinic. |
| Clinic vetting | Large clinic network. Verification process exists but the volume-first model means variable quality across listings. | Clinics verified for accreditation (JCI, ISO), implant brand documentation, and patient outcome history. Rejected clinics are permanently removed. |
| Post-booking patient portal | Communication handled via email or messaging apps. No unified patient portal. | Dedicated portal for document uploads, treatment plan tracking, messaging, and aftercare coordination. |
| Number of destinations | 30+ countries for medical and dental tourism. Broader coverage but less dental specialisation. | Focused on top dental tourism destinations: Turkey, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Dubai. Quality over quantity. |
| Medical tourism scope | General medical tourism — dental, cosmetic surgery, bariatric, fertility, orthopaedics, etc. | Dental-only platform. Every feature built specifically for dental patients. |
| Clinic communication | Clinics receive basic contact information. Assessment happens after initial contact. | Clinics receive your complete patient profile (dental chart, assessment, photos) before contact. Conversations are informed from the start. |

MyDentalFly’s dental consultant
Something worth doing before you compare any prices: a quote is only comparable if you know what's inside it. The gap between two quotes for 'the same' treatment is usually the parts nobody itemises — the abutments on an implant, the temporary teeth, the follow-up visits. Same headline number, very different job.
Have you been quoted for anything yet?
Assessment-first model means you arrive at clinics as a pre-qualified, informed patient
Real clinic prices displayed upfront — no "enquire for pricing" frustration
Purpose-built for dental — every feature designed for the dental patient journey
Deposit protection through the platform, not directly to the clinic
Patient portal for the full journey from assessment to aftercare
Smaller clinic network than Bookimed (focused, not exhaustive)
Dental-only — cannot be used for other medical tourism needs
Fewer destination countries (quality-focused selection)
MyDentalFly and Bookimed serve different needs. If you want a dental-specific platform that helps you understand your treatment needs, compare real clinic prices, and provides structured booking protection — MyDentalFly is designed exactly for this. If you need medical tourism beyond dental work, or want to browse the widest possible clinic network across dozens of countries, Bookimed offers broader coverage. For dental patients specifically, MyDentalFly's assessment-first approach produces better-informed decisions and more predictable outcomes.
About MyDentalFly
MyDentalFly is a UK-based platform that builds your treatment plan and matches you with vetted specialist clinics abroad — and a dentist at the clinic reviews and confirms every plan before you pay anything.
Our interactive assessment evaluates your dental needs and builds a bespoke package: every treatment explained, a matched clinic with reasons why, your named dentist, flight estimates, transport, and accommodation — all in one place. We maintain a small, vetted network across Turkey, Hungary and Poland, visit clinics in person, help arrange CBCT scans before you fly, and stay with you through the entire journey. Compare. Save. Smile.

For dental work specifically, MyDentalFly offers a more structured experience. The platform's dental chart, intelligent treatment recommendations, and upfront pricing are features that Bookimed's general medical tourism model does not provide. MyDentalFly was built exclusively for dental patients, while Bookimed covers all types of medical tourism. If your need is dental, MyDentalFly's focused approach delivers better pre-treatment assessment and price transparency.
Bookimed shows price ranges and estimates for many clinics, but final pricing typically requires direct communication with the clinic. MyDentalFly displays actual clinic prices per treatment, allowing you to compare costs across multiple clinics before making contact. This difference in price transparency is one of the key distinctions between the two platforms.
No. MyDentalFly is a dental-only platform — every feature is built specifically for dental patients. If you need help with cosmetic surgery, hair transplants, bariatric surgery, or other medical procedures, a general medical tourism platform like Bookimed may be more appropriate. For dental work, MyDentalFly's specialised approach offers more depth and dental-specific tools.
MyDentalFly takes a quality-over-quantity approach, with a smaller network of vetted clinics verified for accreditation (JCI, ISO), implant brand documentation, and patient outcomes. Clinics that fail vetting or receive credible complaints are permanently removed. Bookimed has a larger network but the verification process is applied across a much broader range of medical specialties and countries, which can result in more variable quality.
