Consultation Pricing
The consultation is priced as a flat fee — not a percentage of your treatment cost, not a commission arrangement, not a subscription. The fee is the same regardless of whether the review takes ten minutes or two hours, and regardless of whether it recommends proceeding, renegotiating, or walking away from a clinic entirely. This pricing structure exists to ensure the advice has no financial stake in any particular outcome.
The fee is confirmed via WhatsApp before any review begins. Payment is accepted by bank transfer or card. No work is started before payment is received, and the report is delivered within 48 hours of payment.
There are no hidden charges, no upgrade tiers, and no upsell at the end of the report. The report contains clinical findings and a question list. If the findings raise issues that require a follow-up exchange to clarify, that exchange is included in the original fee.
If you are comparing the consultation fee against the potential benefit: the average treatment plan reviewed involves procedures totalling €3,000–€12,000. In cases where overtreatment is identified, the saving from declining unnecessary units typically exceeds the consultation fee many times over. In cases where the review confirms the plan is sound, the fee buys certainty — which has its own value.

Why a flat fee and not a free service
The fee structure is deliberate and worth explaining directly.
Free advice is rarely independent advice
Services that provide "free" dental consultations for Turkey treatment typically recover their costs through referral commissions paid by the clinics they recommend. In that model, the advice is filtered through a financial interest in you booking with a specific clinic. The flat fee eliminates that structure entirely — the fee is the revenue, and there is no commission to earn from any recommendation.
Paid advice produces better decisions
Patients who pay for a review engage with the findings differently than patients who receive free generic information. A fee creates a commitment to the process that makes the resulting report more likely to be acted on. In cases where the review identifies a problem, patients who paid for the assessment are substantially more likely to ask the necessary questions or step back from a problematic clinic.
The fee is a small fraction of the treatment cost
The average treatment plan reviewed involves a total quoted cost of €3,000–€12,000. The consultation fee represents 1–5% of that range. In cases where the review identifies unnecessary treatment units, reduces the scope, or redirects the patient to a better-specified plan, the financial benefit to the patient typically exceeds the fee significantly. In cases where the review confirms everything is sound, the fee is the cost of certainty before a significant investment.
When the consultation is and isn't worth it
This section is here because honest advice sometimes includes saying when a service doesn't make sense.
Worth it when
- Your total quoted treatment cost is €2,000 or more
- The proposed treatment is irreversible (implants, veneers requiring tooth preparation, crowns)
- You are comparing quotes from multiple clinics with different prices for what sounds like the same treatment
- The treatment plan contains elements you don't fully understand or can't verify
- You are experiencing complications after previous dental tourism treatment
May not be worth it when
- The proposed treatment is a single simple procedure with a quoted cost below €1,000 (e.g. a single composite veneer or teeth whitening)
- You have not yet received a written treatment plan — the review requires specific documentation to assess
- You are seeking general dental advice rather than a review of a specific plan
