How we verify clinics

What “verified” means

A clinic is only marked Verified once we have checked all six points below. Clinic cards show their status and the date of our last review.

1. Licence & registration

The clinic’s operating licence and each dentist’s registration – Hungary’s official register of health professionals, or Turkey’s Ministry of Health.

2. Insurance & guarantees

Professional indemnity cover and written guarantee terms – what is covered, for how long and who pays for repair visits.

3. Materials & implants

Recognised materials and implant systems, with an implant passport recording brand and batch.

4. Visit & hygiene

A visit (in person or by live video) covering sterilisation, equipment and patient areas.

5. Transparent pricing

Itemised written quotes that state what the price includes, before any treatment starts.

6. Patient feedback

Public patient reviews, read as published. We don’t edit, select or pay for reviews.

Verified – all checks passed, date shownIn progress – checks under wayNot yet verified – listed from public information so you can compare

Aftercare

We’re with you there and after

We meet you at your hotel – or the airport if you book a transfer – and help coordinate aftercare with your clinic once you’re home.

1. We check in

Your coordinator gets in touch after you land to see how you’re feeling and answer any questions.

2. Your guarantee, in writing

The clinic’s guarantee terms, treatment records and – for implants – the implant passport with brand and batch.

3. Something not right?

Tell your coordinator. We liaise with the clinic and help arrange a repair visit if one is needed.

4. Urgent help in the UK

If you need help quickly, we can point you to a UK dentist while the clinic is kept informed.

5. Follow-up trips

Implants usually need a second visit after healing. We help you plan it around your clinic dates.

6. Your records

Keep the X-rays, plan and implant passport your clinic gives you – any dentist who sees you later will need them.
