Our team’s background is in international health tourism. Our framework draws on relevant UK dental professional standards and practice guidance, adapted to the assessment scope and the requirements in each clinic’s country.
Our framework requires relevant licences and registrations to be checked against appropriate authoritative sources.
Assessment can include communication, consent, treatment information, aftercare and complaints processes.
Verified is the remote credential and documentation route. Accredited additionally requires an on-site assessment and approval.
Each clinic profile shows its current status and the evidence recorded.
Dental Registry operates a private assessment framework. Its awards do not constitute GDC registration or CQC approval, and do not provide the same regulatory arrangements as treatment in the UK. UK company location alone does not establish clinical quality. No assessment guarantees treatment outcomes.
