Dentist for Less shows patients real numbers on dental work at home versus abroad. We're adding partner dental clinics. Here's how referrals work.

4 min read · Updated October 2026

Dentist for Less publishes honest price comparisons for dental work, mostly for patients in the United States and Canada. We tell readers when travel is worth it and when it isn’t. When the numbers make sense for them, they ask us for help finding a clinic.

This article is for those clinics. We’re adding dental practices to our network, and here’s how it works.

Key takeaways

Who contacts us

Because our readers have already done the math, they arrive with a treatment plan and a number in mind. They ask:

A phased plan in USD, sent within a day of receiving a panoramic X-ray, is what turns these readers into patients.

How a referral works

  1. A patient contacts usThey read our guides and tell us about their case through our form or WhatsApp.
  2. We check and assignWe confirm the procedure, dates, budget and records. If the case is complete and fits your clinic, we send it to you.
  3. Your clinic quotesYour coordinator contacts the patient in English, with a price in USD. The medical and commercial relationship is between you and the patient.

Each case goes to one clinic at a time. If your clinic can’t take it or doesn’t reply within one business day, it goes to another approved partner.

What we ask of your clinic

English-speaking coordinatorOne person who handles patients in English on WhatsApp or email.
Written prices in USDA list or ranges per procedure, with what’s included and what isn’t.
Reply within one business dayPatients hear from you no later than the next business day.
Verifiable credentialsLicensed with your national health authority. International accreditation is welcome but not required.

Our brand is built on honest numbers, so we give priority to clinics with itemized USD price lists (implant, abutment, crown and temporaries listed separately) and a written warranty policy. We’d rather send a patient to a clinic that says a case isn’t worth the trip than to one that oversells.

What you receive with each case

What we don’t do: we don’t give medical advice, negotiate prices on your behalf or promise patients any outcome.

What it costs

Launch period

No cost while we build the network

If we send you a case during our launch period, you pay nothing for it. That way you can judge the quality of our referrals before any commitment.

Later on, partnership will become a paid marketing service. You’ll see the terms in writing and decide whether to continue before any charge. Medical fees always stay between your clinic and the patient.

Apply in three steps

It takes about five minutes. When you submit, you’ll see our direct WhatsApp and email so you can keep the conversation going. We reply within two business days.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only work with clinics in Colombia?

Most of our comparisons use Colombia, but we accept applications from dental clinics in other countries and will tell you honestly whether we have demand for your area.

How much does it cost to join?

Nothing during our launch period. If we send you a case, you pay nothing for it. Later on, partnership will become a paid marketing service; you’ll see the terms in writing and decide whether to continue before any charge.

Do you guarantee a number of patients?

No. We send cases when they come in and fit your specialty and location. Be wary of anyone who promises volume.

Who collects payment from the patient?

You do. Your clinic evaluates the patient, sets the price and collects payment directly. We’re never involved in the medical payment.
