WhatClinic is a large healthcare directory listing 170,000+ clinics across 170 countries — from dental to cosmetic to laser eye surgery. MyDentalFly is a focused dental tourism platform built around patient assessment and price comparison. They serve fundamentally different purposes: WhatClinic helps you find clinics, MyDentalFly helps you understand what you need and compare prices. Here's how they differ.
Side-by-side comparison of key features.
| Feature | WhatClinic | MyDentalFly |
|---|---|---|
| Patient assessment before booking | No patient assessment. Patients browse clinic listings and enquire directly. The patient decides what they think they need. | Interactive dental chart and questionnaire produce intelligent treatment recommendations. You understand your needs before contacting clinics. |
| Price transparency | Some clinics list prices, many show "enquire for price". Prices are clinic-submitted and not standardised. | Real clinic prices for specific treatments, displayed in your currency. Side-by-side comparison. |
| Multi-currency display | Local currency pricing. Limited currency conversion. | GBP, USD, EUR, AED with live rates. Savings calculated vs your home country. |
| Treatment recommendations | No treatment recommendations. Patients must know what they want before searching. | Intelligent recommendations based on your dental chart and symptoms. System identifies treatments you may not have considered. |
| Deposit protection | No booking or payment system. All arrangements made directly with the clinic. | £200 holding deposit secured by the platform. Funds protected until treatment begins. |
| Clinic vetting | Open directory — clinics create their own listings. WhatClinic does not verify clinical claims. Quality varies enormously. | Curated network of verified clinics with accreditation documentation and outcome tracking. Rejected clinics permanently removed. |
| Patient portal | No patient portal. Communication via email or phone directly with the clinic. | Full portal for document uploads, treatment tracking, messaging, and aftercare. |
| Number of clinics listed | 170,000+ clinics across all medical specialties globally. Massive directory. | Curated selection of verified dental clinics in top dental tourism destinations. |
| Reviews and ratings | Clinic reviews from patients. Large review volume but verification varies. | Verified patient reviews from platform users who completed treatment. |
| Patient profile sent to clinic | Basic enquiry form (name, email, brief message). Clinic has minimal information to work with. | Complete patient profile including dental chart, assessment, photos, and medical history sent to clinic. Clinics can prepare a proper treatment plan. |

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 approach — understand what you need before spending time on enquiries
Real verified prices vs "enquire for pricing" on most directory listings
Dental-specific platform built for the dental tourism journey
Clinic vetting is active (rejection and removal) vs passive listing
Complete patient profile means clinics can prepare proper treatment plans
Much smaller clinic database than WhatClinic's 170,000+ listings
Dental-only — WhatClinic covers all medical specialties
Fewer patient reviews due to newer, smaller platform
WhatClinic is a directory — it helps you find clinics. MyDentalFly is a dental tourism platform — it helps you understand what you need, compare prices, and book with protection. If you already know exactly what treatment you need and want to browse the largest possible clinic database, WhatClinic offers breadth. If you want guidance through the dental tourism process, with real price comparison and deposit protection, MyDentalFly delivers a fundamentally better experience for dental patients.
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 tourism specifically, MyDentalFly provides a more complete experience. The dental chart assessment, intelligent treatment recommendations, verified pricing, and deposit protection are features that a directory like WhatClinic does not offer. WhatClinic is useful for browsing clinic listings, but it does not help you understand your treatment needs or protect your booking.
WhatClinic prices are submitted by clinics and not independently verified. Many listings show "enquire for price" rather than specific costs. Prices that are shown may be starting-from estimates that do not reflect the final treatment cost. MyDentalFly displays actual clinic prices for specific treatments, verified against clinic fee schedules.
WhatClinic operates as an open directory — clinics create their own listings, similar to a Yellow Pages model. There is no active vetting of clinical quality, accreditation, or patient outcomes. MyDentalFly takes the opposite approach: a curated network where clinics are verified for accreditation and rejected clinics are permanently removed from the platform.
Many patients use WhatClinic for initial research and browsing, then use MyDentalFly for the actual assessment, pricing comparison, and booking process. The two platforms serve complementary purposes — WhatClinic for breadth of information, MyDentalFly for depth of dental-specific assessment and booking protection.
