Fair questions.

Yes. Your account is a nickname we generate (like Teal-Fig-482) and a password you choose. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number, and we do not store your IP address with your request. Clinics see your request, your country (and city, only if you add it), your nickname. Nothing more.

Because there is no email, keep your password and recovery code safe: they are the only way back into your account.

Nothing for patients. Posting a request, reading replies and messaging clinics is free, and it stays free for you.

Clinics use dental.holiday for free during the launch period. Later, clinics will pay a subscription to answer requests.

Only clinics we have checked and approved can see requests. Before approving a clinic we ask for its licence and its authorisation to treat international patients. Approval is not a recommendation: always do your own checks, starting with our 15 questions.

Yes. When you post your request you pick one or more regions, such as Istanbul or Antalya, or "Anywhere". Only clinics in the regions you pick can see and answer it.

Yes, up to 3 at the same time, each for a different region of Türkiye: for example one for Istanbul and one for Antalya. Each region can have one request. A request for "Anywhere" covers every region, so it is the only one. Put every treatment you are thinking about into one request; clinics can quote for all of it.

Once clinics have replied to a request, its regions stay taken for 30 days after you posted it, even if you remove it. If nobody has replied yet, you can close it and post a better one straight away. Clinics write each quote by hand, and this keeps their replies careful.

A clinic can send one alternative next to its first quote, for example veneers when you asked about crowns but your teeth may suit veneers. You see both options side by side in the conversation with that clinic.

No. Clinics never get your phone number or email, and you can't post them here, even by mistake. Clinics can only write to you inside your dental.holiday inbox. Each quote shows the clinic's own phone, WhatsApp or email, so if you want to talk, you contact them. That choice is always yours.

No. Every quote here is marked as preliminary. A clinic can only give a firm plan after examining you, usually with an X-ray or 3D scan. Quotes are itemised, so you can see which lines might change. Ask each clinic how often the plan changes after the examination, and how the price is adjusted.

No. We are not a clinic, an agency or a travel company. We don't sell treatment, hotels, flights or transfers, and we don't take a cut of your treatment. We help you collect and compare written quotes, and we publish guides.

Not on dental.holiday. X-rays and photos of your teeth are health data, which the law treats as especially sensitive, and an X-ray usually shows your name and date of birth. Keeping them off the platform is part of how your request stays anonymous.

Describe your teeth in words instead: which teeth, what bothers you, past treatment, and whether you have a recent X-ray. Clinics give a first estimate from that, and every quote says what they need to confirm it. No clinic can promise a final plan without an X-ray or an examination, whatever site you use.

When you have picked a clinic, you can send your X-rays and photos straight to it, using the contact details on its quote. You choose who gets them, and that clinic is responsible for them from then on. Our guide X-rays and photos: when and how to share them explains how.

It depends on the treatment, your description and the season. Up to 10 clinics can reply to one request, so your inbox never turns into a flood. Requests close automatically after 30 days, or earlier if you close them.

Use the recovery code you saw when you created your account. It lets you set a new password. Without the password or the recovery code we cannot identify you, which is the price of real anonymity.

Many people have good treatment in Türkiye, and some have serious problems. Quality varies from clinic to clinic, as it does everywhere. Take your time, ask for the final plan tooth by tooth once the clinic has seen an X-ray or examined you, be wary of many crowns on healthy teeth, and make sure you know who will look after you once you are home. Our guides walk you through it.

Yes, from your dashboard. Deleting your account erases everything you wrote: the descriptions and questions of your requests, all your messages, your nickname and your password. Clinics keep only the quotes they sent, without your nickname.
