How payment typically works

Clinics commonly request a deposit to confirm a booking, with the balance paid on arrival or at specific treatment stages. Ask each clinic for its exact deposit and payment schedule in writing.

Confirm the full payment schedule in writing before you travel.

Travel and dental insurance

Standard travel insurance frequently excludes planned dental treatment. Ask your insurer directly whether your policy covers complications from planned dental treatment abroad, or look into specialist medical-travel insurance.

Financing options

Some clinics or third-party providers may offer payment plans for larger treatments such as full-arch implants or full mouth restoration. Read financing terms carefully, including any interest or currency-conversion costs.
