Frequently asked questions

Grouped questions covering what we do, how we verify, and what to expect.

What Compass & Crown does (and does not do)

Is Compass & Crown a dental clinic?+

No. We are a coordination, verification, and patient-navigation company. We do not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice. Clinical care is delivered solely by independent licensed providers.

Are outcomes guaranteed?+

No. Verification is a coordination standard, not a guarantee of clinical outcome. Outcomes depend on the clinician, the case, and your follow-through at home.

Safety & provider verification

How dentists are verified+

We document active licensure, specialty registration where claimed, facility habilitation, sterilization and infection-control information, imaging and lab workflow, sedation arrangement, emergency pathway, and records access.

What happens if a provider is no longer appropriate+

We monitor outcomes and complaints over time. If our standard is no longer met, we stop coordinating cases with that provider.

Pricing & deposits

What patients pay Compass & Crown+

Coordination fees only, billed by Compass & Crown after you accept the quote packet and engagement terms. Clinical fees are billed by the clinic directly.

Why clinical pricing can change+

Final clinical pricing can change after in-person diagnostics or imaging. Any change is documented in writing before treatment continues.

Records & privacy

Where records are stored+

Sensitive records are uploaded to a secure patient portal after you create a verified account. Public lead forms only collect low-sensitivity information.

Travel logistics

Whether flights are booked for you+

We coordinate timing and provide guidance. Specific booking responsibilities are documented in your engagement terms.

Dental procedure timelines

How long to plan to stay+

It depends on the procedure and lab turnaround. Your Treatment Clarity Packet gives a written timing range for your case.

Aftercare & complications

What happens if there's a problem after flying home+

We document red-flag guidance, maintain a backup-provider workflow where available, and remain available to your treating clinic for continuity questions during the follow-up window.

Companion support

Whether a companion can travel with you+

Yes. Our Companion Concierge add-on coordinates lodging, transport, and recovery-friendly logistics for a traveling companion.
