Do not buy the shortest possible itinerary.
Ask the clinic how many clinical days your proposed material and tooth count usually require, what can cause delays, and whether a final bite check happens before you leave.
Keep treatment and tourism separable.
Build your sightseeing around how you actually feel after appointments. Cosmetic dentistry can involve sensitivity or a need for adjustments. Do not schedule every hour of the trip.
Stay somewhere that makes follow-up easy.
A low hotel rate across the city can be a false economy if you need repeated clinic visits. Ask for the clinic address before choosing lodging.
Before the flight home
- Make sure your bite feels comfortable.
- Ask what sensitivity is expected and what is not.
- Get your treatment summary and material information.
- Know who to contact after hours.
- Get aftercare, adjustment and remake policies in writing.
Bring time, not just money.
The biggest planning mistake is making the return flight more important than the final clinical check. Leave a buffer where you reasonably can.
