Use General Answers to Prepare an Individual Discussion
These answers explain how to approach the consultation and the practical arrangements. The proposed treatment, personal timeline and clinical instructions need an assessment. Read the relevant treatment guide alongside these general questions so that the next conversation can focus on your own situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the first consultation free?
The Medico Clinic patient journey starts with a free video consultation and case review. Any later examination, investigation or treatment charges should be confirmed in your written plan.
Are London and Pennsylvania treatment centres?
No. Istanbul is the only treatment centre listed for Medico Clinic. London and Pennsylvania are aftercare partner locations.
Does my enquiry commit me to treatment?
An enquiry is a request for information and consultation. Any booking, deposit, cancellation or treatment agreement needs its own written terms.
Should I book flights before receiving a plan?
Discuss the proposed visits, stay and flexibility requirements with the clinic before making travel commitments. Dates and clinical schedules should be confirmed for your case.
Can I choose the dentist who treats me?
Ask the team about the clinician proposed for each stage and their availability. Assignments depend on your treatment plan and on clinician availability, so ask the team before you book.
Is aftercare included in the price?
Aftercare arrangements and any fees should be stated in your written treatment plan. A partner location does not, by itself, establish free or unlimited follow-up care.
Can I send dental images through this website?
Image uploads will remain unavailable until the secure handling process and relevant legal review are complete.
What information should a treatment quote include?
Ask for the proposed procedures, the teeth or jaws involved, named materials or implant systems, temporary and final stages, investigations and reviews. Travel and accommodation arrangements should be identifiable as separate items or clear inclusions. Any provisional item needs an explanation of what will confirm it.
Can the plan change after I arrive in Istanbul?
Ask which parts of an initial proposal depend on an in-person examination. If the clinical findings lead to a revised recommendation, request the reason, alternatives, new sequence and updated costs in writing before deciding. An early estimate should not make a later change difficult to understand.
How do I compare two clinics’ proposals?
Begin with the assessment and the work being recommended. Compare the same scope: the teeth or jaws involved, procedure, implant or material specification, temporary and final work, visits and aftercare. A shared package name or a difference in total price does not establish that the proposals cover the same treatment.
Can I bring a reference photograph to a smile consultation?
A reference can help explain a preference about appearance. Ask the clinician to relate that preference to your own teeth and the reasonable options. A photograph does not show a person’s treatment history or establish which procedure would be suitable for somebody else.
What should I know about the aftercare partner before treatment?
Confirm the named partner relevant to your case, its role, how appointments are booked and what records are shared. Ask which services are included, what may carry a fee and which concerns require the Istanbul team. Keep the written aftercare terms with your treatment proposal.
What records should I ask about after treatment?
Ask which clinical records, implant-system or restoration details, individual instructions and follow-up contacts will be provided. Clarify how these will reach another treating clinician with your consent. The exact records and sharing process should be agreed with the responsible clinical team.
Does an implant or material brand guarantee the result?
A product name is useful information, but your proposal also needs the clinical reasoning, restoration design, stages and review arrangements. Ask why the selected system or material is being recommended for the assessed case. Avoid interpreting a general manufacturer description as a personal guarantee or timetable.
Can I request clarification before making a booking?
Use the consultation to resolve questions about the plan, quote and practical arrangements. Ask who can explain an unclear item and request the current written proposal. You should be able to identify the next step, what remains provisional and the terms that would apply to a booking.
How should I plan a visit with more than one treatment stage?
Ask the team to identify the purpose of each appointment and the clinical checks needed before the next stage. Confirm whether more than one visit to Istanbul is proposed and how a change would affect travel. The schedule should follow your individual plan rather than a generic day count.
What if I live far from London or Pennsylvania?
Raise your home location during the initial discussion and ask what follow-up can be coordinated for your case. Do not assume that a partner arrangement provides nationwide coverage, reimbursement or the same services through every local dentist. The practical plan and responsibilities need to be confirmed before travel.
