Things to Watch Out / Tips

When looking into dental treatment in Shiraz (or anywhere abroad), here are practical tips:

 

1. 1. Dentist Credentials & Reputation
      Make sure the dentist is licensed, check reviews, see before/after photos, ask about years of experience, and whether they specialize in your needed treatment.

1. 1. Material Quality
      Ask what brands of implants, crowns, veneers, or filling materials they use (e.g. from reputable international manufacturers). Cheaper materials may degrade faster.

1. 1. Sterilization & Hygiene
      Ensure the clinic follows strict sterilization protocols, uses autoclaves, and meets international standards.

1. 1. Communication & Language
      Ensure you can communicate clearly (English, or translator) especially about treatment plans, risks, consent.

1. 1. Aftercare & Follow-up
      Complex treatments often need follow-up visits (e.g. checkups, adjustments). Check what is included and whether you’ll have access to care in your home country if needed.

1. 1. Travel Logistics & Medical Tourism Packages
      If you’re traveling just for the dental work, clinics or medical tourism facilitators in Shiraz often offer packages including accommodation, transport, and treatment scheduling.

1. 1. Compare with Local Options
      Depending on your original country, even with travel cost, the savings might or might not justify going abroad—especially for smaller treatments.

1. 1. Legal & Insurance Considerations
      Check whether your insurance covers work done abroad (often not). Also, ask about guarantees or warranties for work done.
