- Ask for before/after photos and patient testimonials.
- Request a detailed treatment plan + cost breakdown (including follow-up) before booking.
- Confirm whether the clinic offers concierge services (hotel + transportation) — many of the top clinics do.
- Check accreditation and certifications: international patients should verify the dentists’ credentials.
- Plan for recovery time: especially for surgeries or implant work, you’ll probably need days to rest.
