Legal identity
Clinic legal name, physical address, website, Google profile, and best email/WhatsApp contact.
Patient safety framework
The checklist we use before relying on dental tourism clinic claims.
A low price is not enough. ToothAbroad looks for written proof: credentials, transparent pricing, real clinic media, warranty terms, and a realistic plan for complications after you return home.
Written evidence to request
What should be documented in writing before a profile is upgraded.
Clinical team
Names, credentials, specialties, license numbers when available, and who actually performs implants/surgery.
Price ranges
Realistic ranges for implants, crowns, veneers, root canals, All-on-4, extractions, CBCT, sedation, and temporary teeth.
Warranty policy
Written warranty terms, exclusions, required follow-up visits, and what happens if the patient returns to the US.
Sterilization & safety
Instrument processing, infection-control basics, emergency plan, sedation policy, and referral pathway for complications.
Real media
Current clinic photos, exterior/location photos, treatment-room photos, and before/after cases the clinic is allowed to share.
Red flags
When to pause before paying a deposit.
No written treatment plan before deposit.
Only stock photos or heavily edited clinic images.
Pressure to book before reviewing X-rays/CBCT or medical history.
No clear warranty exclusions for implants, crowns, veneers, or full-arch cases.
Refusal to communicate by email/WhatsApp or provide details in writing.
Prices that leave common add-on items undocumented, such as abutments, temporary teeth, CBCT, extractions, or sedation.
No named dentist for surgical or full-mouth cases.
Reviews mention surprise fees, rushed consults, or poor aftercare communication.
Ask in writing
Six questions every patient should ask.
1Who will perform my procedure, and what is their specialty?
2What records do you need before giving a realistic quote?
3What exactly is included and excluded from the quoted price?
4What happens if an implant, crown, veneer, or bridge fails after I fly home?
5How many visits and how many travel days are realistic for my case?
6Will I receive a written treatment plan and warranty before paying a deposit?
Decision rules
Use these written-first checks before paying a deposit or sharing sensitive case details.
Green light
The clinic provides written pricing ranges, named clinicians, warranty terms, real photos, and answers case-specific questions without pressure.
Yellow light
The clinic looks legitimate but gives incomplete pricing, vague warranty language, or asks for records before giving any estimate. Ask more questions.
Red light
The clinic pressures for a deposit, avoids written answers, hides who performs the treatment, or cannot explain what happens if complications occur.
