Before you fly

  • Confirm your written treatment plan and total price in writing with the clinic.
  • Check current visa/entry requirements for your nationality.
  • Check your passport's remaining validity meets entry requirements.
  • Arrange travel insurance, and check whether it covers dental treatment complications.
  • Bring existing dental records, X-rays or scans if the clinic hasn't already received digital copies.
  • Confirm airport transfer and accommodation arrangements.
  • Ask the clinic what to do if you have concerns after returning home.
A short checklist can prevent avoidable delays before a dental trip.
