How we’re paid, in plain English.

Our service is free for patients. When something is free, it’s fair to ask who pays. Here’s the answer, without the small print.

The short version

You pay us

Nothing. Not for quotes, coordination or aftercare.

Clinics pay us

A fee, only if you go ahead with treatment.

Your price

The clinic's standard price, the same as booking direct.

How the fee works

The clinics we work with pay us a fee, a share of the treatment cost, when a patient we’ve introduced goes ahead with treatment. If you decide not to go ahead, nobody pays anything. The fee covers the work we do for you: comparing quotes, organising your trip, being on hand throughout, and handling aftercare with the clinic.

How we keep it fair

Being paid by clinics creates an obvious question: will we push the clinic that pays us most? These are the rules we work by:

  • We show you every quote we receive for your case, not just one
  • We recommend clinics based on your treatment and the answers they give, and tell you why
  • We never present a clinic's work, photos or dentists as our own
  • If a clinic changes a price without a clinical reason you've agreed to, we take it up with them, whatever it costs us

You can always ask

If you want to know anything about how we work with a particular clinic, ask us on WhatsApp and we’ll tell you.

What you pay, and to whom

You pay the clinic directly for your treatment, at the price in your written quote. Hotel and transfers are either included in the quote or listed separately, so you know exactly what’s covered before you book.
