A Guide to Dentistry Abroad

Whether you are searching for the perfect snow-white smile, require dental implants or would love some porcelain veneers, travelling abroad for dental care often represents a better option than staying at home for treatment.

High private costs and long waiting lists are two of the reasons why patients look elsewhere for dental services. With a searchable worldwide database of affordable and accessible dentists, RevaHealth.com can help you locate the dentist that’s right for you, right here.

Significant savings

The vast cost differences between countries means travelling abroad for dentistry is now a standard worldwide practice. In 2006 an estimated 40,000 Americans crossed the border into Mexico to receive dental care-saving up to 75% on U.S prices.~ In the same year, 20,000 people travelled from the UK to continental Europe for dental services. One clinic in Budapest, Hungary is currently treating up to 90 patients a month from Britain and Ireland. Impressive as these numbers are it is dwarfed by the one million Austrians that travel to Hungary for Dentistry every year.

Treatment and treats

Dentistry is particularly suited to travel because of the rapid time scales involved. Most dental procedures take less than 1 hour, while a course of treatments may involve 2 or 3 visits over a 10 day to 2 week period. Recovery is usually quick with normal activity possible almost immediately. Dental travellers are taking advantage of low air fares and affordable dentistry worldwide, recuperating afterwards in health spas or sun-drenched surroundings. Turkey and Hungary is a popular choice for Europeans to combine dental work and a holiday afterwards, while Central and Southern American dental clinics are regular destinations for North American and Canadian medical visitors.

Price plan

The price of dentistry abroad should include the cost of your procedure of course, but you need to factor in the cost of your airfare, accommodation, meals and living expenses. You should also consider expenses for a recovery period afterwards. Check with the hospital or clinic and get a complete cost breakdown of the treatment involved. The best value can often be found close to home. Cosmetic teeth whitening in Poland costs as little as £200, roughly a third of what you can expect to pay in the UK.^

RevaHealth.com can help you find affordable, readily available international dentistry.  On this site, you can compare and contrast different types of treatment, calculate the costs involved, read testimonials from previous travellers and study the quality of patient care across a global range of dental clinics.

Orthodontics/Braces

It should be noted that certain treatments such as orthodontics require regular visits to the dentist for minor adjustments of the braces (or other devices used to move and straighten teeth). These treatments may be unsuitable for dental tourism if the destination you which to travel to is a great distance and there isn’t a dentist at home to complete the follow up work.
