Written comparison checklist

Written questions to compare before you pay a dental tourism deposit.

A low price is not enough. Use this page to compare clinic-submitted commercial details: procedure, costs, timing, deposit, refund and warranty wording. This page is not a marketplace, ranking, or patient introduction.

Written commercial details to request

What should be documented in writing before anyone pays a deposit.

Legal identity

Clinic legal name, physical address, website, Google profile, and a written email or WhatsApp contact.

Public clinician facts

Names and public roles the clinic already states, plus who would perform implants or surgery if that is already public.

Price ranges

Realistic written ranges for the named procedure, plus common extras such as abutments, temporary teeth, extractions, or sedation.

Warranty policy

Written warranty terms, exclusions, required follow-up visits, and what happens if the patient is already back in the US.

Process notes

How written estimates are issued, expected visit count, and how complications are handled in writing — not a ToothAbroad safety rating.

Approved public media

Clinic photos or logo the clinic already publishes. Do not send patient X-rays, CBCT scans, mouth photos, or medical records to ToothAbroad.

Red flags

When to pause before paying a deposit.

No written treatment plan or quote details before deposit.
Only stock photos or heavily edited clinic images.
Pressure to pay a deposit before procedure, costs, timing, warranty and refund terms are in writing.
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, 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 to send the clinic, not ToothAbroad.

1Who will perform my procedure, and what is their specialty?
2If you later need clinical files, which clinic-owned secure intake should I use? Do not send those files to ToothAbroad.
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?

Comparison rules

Use these written-first checks before paying a deposit. They are not clinic ratings, medical advice, or a patient-matching service.

Enough written detail

The clinic provides written pricing ranges, named clinicians, warranty terms, and answers commercial questions without pressure. This is not a ranking or approval.

Ask more in writing

The clinic looks active but gives incomplete pricing, vague warranty language, or skips deposit/refund wording. Ask more commercial questions before paying.

Pause before deposit

The clinic pressures for a deposit, avoids written answers, hides who performs the treatment, or cannot explain what happens if complications occur.

Want a written quote check before deposit?

Send procedure, destination, budget, timing, and written quote text if you already have it. Do not send X-rays, CBCT files, mouth photos, lab reports, full medical records, private IDs or payment data to ToothAbroad. We keep the process email-first, with no clinic handoff by default.
