13 million can't get NHS dental care.
India is just a 10-day trip.

Yes. This is one of the most common reasons UK patients contact us. With 13 million people in England unable to access NHS dental care and severe access gaps across Northern Ireland and Wales, India has become a practical alternative for UK patients who need treatment now. Most patients are assessed and treated within 10 days of arriving.

No. NHS funding does not extend to private dental treatment abroad. However, many procedures including dental implants, veneers, and cosmetic dentistry are not covered by NHS regardless of where they are performed. India is particularly relevant for NHS-gap procedures: treatment that the NHS will not fund and that costs thousands of pounds in UK private practices.

Most procedures require 7 to 14 days in India. The first day is always a clinical assessment, not treatment. Simple implant cases typically require 7 to 10 days. Full-arch All-on-4 or full mouth rehabilitation typically requires 10 to 14 days. Your coordinator builds the schedule around your travel dates and clinic availability.

Yes. All pricing for UK patients is shown, quoted, and collected in GBP. Your package price is locked at the GBP rate on the day you accept your quote. There are no hidden currency conversion fees. The price you see is the price you pay.

Your treating clinic provides a full treatment report, X-rays, and digital scan files before you leave India. UK dental practices routinely accept these records. Your coordinator remains your point of contact for any post-trip questions, and all major procedures carry written warranty terms confirmed before you travel.

Contact your coordinator immediately on WhatsApp. We coordinate directly with the treating clinic and, if clinical review is needed, manage rescheduling under the Deviation Protocol terms documented at the time of treatment. All major procedures carry written warranty terms.

Yes. India issued over 6 million e-Medical visas in 2024, primarily for medical and dental treatment. Delhi is an established international medical tourism destination with direct daily flights from London on British Airways, Air India, and Virgin Atlantic. Flight time is approximately 9 hours.

Yes. Standard travel insurance policies typically exclude elective dental procedures. We recommend specialist providers that offer cover for dental complications and medical repatriation. Your coordinator can advise on suitable options. Check your policy carefully before you travel.

Yes, after an appropriate recovery window. Your itinerary builds in 7 to 10 days in Delhi, including a post-operative review before you fly. Your clinician confirms clearance before departure. We never schedule your return date before the clinical team has signed off.

Those routes operate on a high-volume model with no external dental audits. Turkey's accreditation body (TUSKA) does not cover standalone dental clinics at all. Hungary has no dental-specific accreditation framework either. 86% of UK dentists who examined patients returning from treatment abroad had to treat complications (BDA, 2022), and the failures concentrate in exactly these unstructured markets. DentAItinerary vets every clinic under an Advisory Board chaired by senior dental academics, locks your price before you fly, assigns a named coordinator, and backs every complex procedure with a written Deviation Protocol.
