Key Takeaways

Bring your passport or ARC, a list of medications and allergies, and any dental records or X-rays you have; booking by phone or the clinic's online channel is usually needed. Ask about interpretation, payment methods, and whether a written treatment estimate can be provided.

Warning Signs to Check
The items below are general points to check during consultation, not an evaluation of any specific clinic. If a clinic rushes treatment without enough explanation, or if it is hard to get answers when you ask about the reason for tests or treatment, ask for further explanation. If costs and treatment scope are not clearly explained, it is better to confirm an itemized estimate. If your questions about treatment methods or expected schedule are not sufficiently addressed, do not rush your decision and check the information you need.
- Being pressured to decide on treatment immediately without an explanation of the diagnosis or why treatment is needed
- Not being given specific information about treatment items, costs, or possible additional costs
- Having a treatment plan decided unilaterally without listening to the patient's questions or concerns
- Unclear information about reservations, hours, or aftercare that is difficult to confirm
