Compare the diagnosis and proposed treatment, not simply the number at the bottom of the quote. Ask which teeth are being treated, why each procedure is recommended and what alternatives exist.
Request the restoration material, implant system where relevant, temporary teeth, scans and preparatory treatment in writing. Confirm the number of visits and what can change after clinical assessment.
Separate treatment charges from travel, accommodation, insurance and follow-up costs. Ask about cancellation, refunds and aftercare before you pay.
First establish the treatment budget and the amount you need to borrow. The treatment estimate and a lender’s credit quotation serve different purposes.
Compare the APR, repayment term, each payment, any fees and the total amount repayable. Read early settlement, missed payment and cancellation information in the lender’s documents.
Only apply using the approved broker link. A finance offer does not confirm that treatment is clinically suitable and does not mean you should accept the proposed dental plan.
Ask your treating team how many visits are expected and what recovery or healing time is needed. Complex treatments may require return trips.
Wait for confirmation of your clinical plan and visit schedule before booking non-refundable travel. Check what your insurance covers and whether additional treatment or complications abroad are excluded.
Before returning home, obtain aftercare instructions, a clinical contact and a copy of relevant treatment records. Discuss review appointments and the process for raising concerns.
General information helps you prepare questions. It does not replace a clinical assessment or personalised information from the broker and lender. Ask qualified professionals to explain the decisions that affect you.
A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Your questions, answered.
Is this personalised clinical or financial advice?+
No. These guides provide general information and questions to discuss with the relevant professional. Only the treating dentist can assess clinical needs; the broker and lender provide the information for a finance application.

Credit is subject to status, affordability and lender approval. Rates, terms and available options depend on your circumstances. A treatment enquiry is not a credit application.
