It's now easier than ever to save potentially thousands on your dental bills by heading abroad—and with Dental Departures' verified clinics offering world-class treatments like implants, teeth whitening and other smile makeover procedures, you won't ever have to compromise on quality.
More and more Americans, Brits, Australians, Kiwis and patients from other countries where dentistry is normally expensive are discovering they can obtain the same level of high-quality treatment overseas for a fraction of what they'd normally pay at a local clinic.
Read on to discover just how much you can save by following in their footsteps.
Average Costs of Dental Implants
Dental implants have become one of the most sought-after procedures in recent years, but the price of the treatment is on the increase. In Australia, for example, you can expect to pay around AUD $5,100 for one implant; if you need multiples, the cost can become too great, prohibiting you from having the work carried out and forcing less desirable options, such as dentures. Likewise, dental implants in the US cost between USD $3,000 - $4,500.
By undergoing that same treatment abroad, Australians can save over 50% on the overall cost, making the procedure far more realistic and affordable. And, what’s more, the quality of dental work abroad is every bit as good as the workmanship you would expect to receive from your domestic dentists.
See below to find out just how much you could save, per implant, by travelling abroad to undergo treatment:
-
Bali Dentists: AUD $1,820 (saving of 65%)
-
Bangkok Dentists: AUD $2,445 (saving of 52%)
-
Phuket Dentists: AUD $2,410 (saving of 53%)
Savings on Other Treatments
It’s not only dental implants that are cheaper abroad; similar savings can be had on other treatments as well. In fact, for some procedures, the total percentage saved can be even greater. For example:
-
Laser teeth whitening: AUD $870 in Australia vs AUD $250 abroad (saving of 71%)
-
Dentures: AUD $2,380 in Australia vs AUD $620 abroad (saving of 74%)
-
Root canals: AUD $1,660 in Australia vs AUD $200 abroad (saving of 88%)
How Can I Be Sure I’ll Receive Quality Treatment?
Dental tourism is now a massively expanding industry all over the globe, but especially so in Southeast Asia, where cost of living is low and healthcare infrastructure is generally good. Globalized standards in training, procedural techniques and health & safety mean that dentists and facilities abroad comply with the same regulations and guidelines as your local providers, earning recognition from professional bodies, such as the International Organization For Standardization.
There are custom-built facilities springing up all the time. For example, the Bangkok International Dental Center (BIDC) became the first dental clinic in Thailand to be awarded the American-based Joint Commission International (JCI) Accreditation. This state-of-the-art, 7-storey dental facility specializes in treating international patients, and the modern complex provides patients with on-site facilities that include a bank, restaurant, coffee shops and even a 30-room boutique hotel.
