If you are considering dental implants, you may find yourself looking for cheaper options. Some of these options may include what is known as "dental tourism." Where can you go to find cheap dental implants? What are the top dental implants destinations? Are they safe? What are the costs? We discuss this and other dental implant questions in today's post.
If you are thrifty - and who isn't - you are probably used to going out of your way to get a good deal. People looking for lower-priced dental implants take that to a whole new level. Searching for lower prices, these budding dental seekers have spawned a whole dental tourism industry. Today we want to discuss what some of the top dental implant destinations are and discuss factors such as price, safety, and reliability.
But why would someone travel to another country to save money on dental implants? It is a common question that we hear. Can you really save money once you include the cost of travel and hotels? The answer to that, unfortunately, is not a simple one. There are a plethora of factors to take into consideration - such as your current location and your destination. You also have to factor in the type of procedure, recovery time, and so forth.
It is possible to save money. But, before we dive too far into our list of top dental implants destinations, let's discuss why you would choose such an option, to begin with.
The most obvious reason to visit one of the top dental implants destinations is financial. Despite travel expenses and hotel costs, the fact of the matter is, you can often save upwards of 70% getting dental abroad. That can equal quite a chunk of change depending upon your dental services or procedure.
Another great thing about dental tourism is the number of options you have. Some countries may have one or two clinics, while others will have a bevy of dental clinic options. The more options, the more likely you are to save money, due to price competition.
Some of the top dental implants destinations are closer than you might imagine. This is particularly true if you live in the United States. A quick trip to Mexico or Costa Rica, for instance, is not too much of a burden. No need to travel all the way to the Philippines or Thailand if you live in America. If you live in Europe or Australia, you will have closer options as well.
The following list is in alphabetical order. Your ultimate choice should get based on extensive research, due diligence, and proximity to your location. Never make a choice based off of a few reviews.
First up: Costa Rica. Costa Rica is great for English speakers seeking dental care, as the country has many English speaking dentists. Costa Rica is also a beautiful destination to vacation and recovers in. With dental implants ranging from $600-700, Costa Rica is a great option for those of us in the United States. This low cost helps balance out higher hotel fees; all of it is worthwhile, however, thanks to the beautiful views, forests, and serene serenity the location provides.
The second on our list of top dental implants destinations is the Czech Republic. Located in Prague, this country is a great choice for Europeans in need of affordable dental implants. They are known for their low dental prices and high dental standards. If you live in Europe, it is a quick flight away, saving you money on further dental tourism destinations. It is also an interesting historical city that you can check off of your list of "must visits."
It should not be a surprise to find the oil-rich land of Dubai making our list. The country is known for catering to the super wealthy with extravagant hotels and resorts; why should their dental clinics be any different? High standards and great hotels make Dubai a definite on our top dental implants destinations list.
Our list would not be complete without this next dental tourism option: Mexico. A very quick trip for Americans - especially those in Texas and California - Mexico may well be the king of dental destinations. Not only is it a great tourism and vacation spot, but their dental implants usually run between $700-800. Combine that with cheap travel and hotel costs, and Mexico tops many people's list of top dental implants destinations.
For Europeans (or Adventurous Americans), Spain is a must when it comes to cheap dental procedures. Averaging $650 for dental implants, they are amongst the cheapest on our list. They are very close to Europeans, though Americans may want to choose a closer option if travel expenses are a concern.
Despite the country's low dental implant costs, they maintain a high level of standards.
