How we get our prices

Every price on this site was published by the clinic or the dentist themselves, or sent to us directly by the clinic, with the date we checked it. Most come from the clinic's own website. Some come from the dentist's own profile on Doctoralia. Each price on a clinic page says which.

Doctoralia prices

Doctoralia is a directory, but the price on a dentist's profile there is set by the dentist on their own profile, so we treat it as the dentist's own price and label it as coming from Doctoralia.

We never edit a clinic's price

If a price looks unusually high or low for the procedure, we flag it rather than change it. A flagged price is left out of the medians and ranges shown on this site, but never deleted.

Rankings are not paid

A clinic cannot pay to move up on any price or clinic page. Featured partners, if we have any, are labeled as such wherever they appear. Today we do not charge clinics for the requests we pass on.

Medians and ranges

A median or range on this site is calculated only from prices we have not flagged, and only from clinics and chains, not from referral sites or facilitators. Each clinic counts once, at the median of its own prices for a procedure, and a city's median is the median of those clinic figures. When several Google listings point at the same price page, we count that price once. We hide a median entirely when fewer than three clinics publish a price for that combination, so a single outlier price is never shown dressed up as "the going rate."

Currency

Most clinics here price in US dollars, and those figures are shown exactly as published. Some price in Mexican pesos, Colombian pesos or Costa Rican colones. We keep the amount and currency the clinic published and convert it to US dollars for comparison. The conversion is redone once a day at that day's exchange rate (Rates By Exchange Rate API), so a peso price moves in dollars when the exchange rate moves, even though the clinic's own price has not changed. The dollar figures on the site are currently at the 9 Nov 2026 exchange rate. Whether a price is flagged is decided when we first read it and is not redone when the rate moves.

What we don't do

We don't write, buy or edit clinic reviews. We don't copy Google's ratings, review text, photos or opening hours onto our pages and we don't store them: a clinic page shows Google's own map card and links to the clinic's Google listing, so you read its reviews on Google. We don't show any clinic's phone number, email, WhatsApp or website on this site. Every conversation with a clinic starts through a quote request, so we can prove what was sent and when.
