Hi, since we are by principle not allergic to travel and international contacts, I thought this would be a good place for talking about dental tourism.
Visiting your local dentist is probably the best solution for the usual cavities, but when it comes to implants and such heavy works, the differences of price between countries are really not neglectable. Sometimes countries which are not really far away from your own place offer the same service for one third of the price.
The question is : where do you find the reliable dentists ? What do you do if your new teeth fall into your morning coffee as soon as you come back home ? Who uses the absolute best materials ?
All those questions and others can be debated here. Please resort to PM if you want to give the precise names and addresses of specific vendors. Otherwise talking about countries, prices and technologies is legally safe.

One of my translator friends told me information of this in Japan [where dentists are highly qualified]. Many good hotels in remote countries have dental services to provide with high reliability.

According to it, more and more citizens from Spain and the US are coming to Uruguay for their dental services.
I also have a friend in the US who comes over once a year (to Uruguay) for this service: She says it`s much cheaper even including air fare and expenses.

Tranquility costs money...
Aug 16, 2010
...so I'm happy to visit my trusted, usual dentist in Spain even if it could be more expensive than in other places. This way I have quick access to the same professional by car if I need anything.

Korea
Aug 16, 2010
I am working as public ambassador for Korean medical tourism, and having lived in the country for close to 10 years, I can really recommend it. Not the closed destination for people in Europe, but it's worth considering if you feel like taking a look at Asia anyway.

You are in Thailand, famous cause his very large dental tourism (not only dental), in BKK there is, for example, a big hospital with 14 dentist surgeries inside the hospital with very high standard (correct me if I am wrong), and you recommend Japan?
I am sure they can offer a good quality, bu Japan is a very expensive country, is the dental care cheap there?

Tranquility versus 10.000 $

Sometimes, 10.000 $ can make a decision easy.
If you need a big treatment, a diference of 40% between, for example, Germany (where a lot of things are for free!!) and Thailand, it makes a decision easier. And more if you see the difference in equipment ultramodern, and dentist with study in USA and other countries, versus the very often old clinics in Germany...
You can spend the European Winter on the beach and at the same time repair your "leaks" and save a lot of money.
Saludos

I know that Turkey is a place of attraction for Europeans&Americans but I heard that Syria is even cheaper. You can easily have access to big, international and reliable medical facilites in Turkey through internet and the one providing me with such addresses in Syria will receive a giant thank you from me

I had significant work done in Thailand and was very happy with the professionalism of the dentist and support staff, high quality of equipment, and indeed the price.

TOPIC STARTER
Baltics
Nov 27, 2011
Thank you all,
personnally I go to the Baltics now.
For any country, I found that the services are always first class if it is a medium sized clinic, and the only "danger" is them trying to sell you services that you don't really need.
But there is no real danger in terms of wrong treatment.
And while I am here... stop smoking if you can... or don't begin ! That will make treatment soooo much better.

Get your implants in Bethlehem as a Christmas present
Nov 27, 2011
My dentist in Bethlehem does implants at very competitive prices. I have had one done myself, and know that many people come from Europe, have their implants done, and come back a few months later for the final fitting. They get to see the sights and have very professional treatment (graduate of a Greek university) and still pay less than it would cost at home.
My own children came back from the US when they were still students because wisdom tooth extraction was not covered by their health insurance and even with their travel costs, it was cheaper to have it done here.
Plus, need I mention, this region is well worth a visit, Christmas or not.
