Six steps over roughly two to three months. You will know your total cost and your exact dates before you commit to anything.
1. You tell us what you need
A short form: which treatment you think you need, whether you have an X-ray, and roughly when you want to travel. About three minutes. A coordinator reads it the same working day.
2. We check whether this is right for you
Before anything else, a qualified clinician looks at whether treatment abroad is appropriate for your case at all. Some medical conditions raise the risk of surgery or of flying afterwards. Some treatments need monitoring for longer than a trip allows. If we think you should be treated at home, we say so.
3. Your records go to the clinic securely
You upload X-rays and photographs through an encrypted link. Curalb assigns your case to the partner clinic best suited to it and tells you which clinic that is, by name; your records are sent only after you have confirmed. Access is time-limited and every view is logged.
4. You receive an itemised plan
Every item priced separately, the materials named, everything excluded listed explicitly, and foreseeable extras priced in advance. The quote is binding within its stated scope. If the plan changes on examination, you get a revised quote and time to consider it — never a decision made in the chair.
5. You speak to the dentist
A video consultation with the clinician who would treat you, with an interpreter if you want one. Most people find this is the moment they decide, one way or the other.
6. We book the journey — in the right order
The surgical date is confirmed in writing by the clinic first. Only then — if you want us to — do we arrange your hotel, airport transfers and a translator around it, and we tell you to book your flights only once that date is fixed. Booking travel around a date that is merely likely is how people end up stranded.
