If you’re comparing dental treatment abroad, ask for a tooth-by-tooth plan. It should explain why each treatment is proposed, which alternatives are available and what you’ll need to do to look after your teeth afterwards.
1. Compare veneers and crowns
Veneers cover the front of teeth. Crowns cover the whole tooth and generally involve more preparation. Ask how much tooth would be removed and why the dentist recommends each restoration.
2. Ask about imaging and trial fittings
The clinic may use photographs, digital scans or X-rays to plan treatment. Ask whether you’ll have a trial fitting to discuss the appearance and check your bite before the final work is fitted.
3. Find out how many visits you’ll need
Implants often require separate visits for placement and the final restoration. Ask how long healing may take, what you’ll wear between visits and how extra work such as a graft would affect your schedule and quote. See our dental treatment guide.
4. Plan dental aftercare in the UK
Ask for a copy of your treatment records and details of any implant system. Speak to your UK dentist about maintenance in advance. Check who can help if a crown loosens, a bridge breaks or you develop pain.
