Dentistry costs are expensive in the US and Europe, but dental treatments can be done at a fraction of the cost in India.
Dental treatment in India is therefore an attractive proposition. Patients can travel to India have their treatments done and then enjoy a free holiday and maybe even have funds left over.
Dental tourism
Dental tourism has emerged due to lower international travel costs than ever before and the fact that dental treatment is so expensive in many countries.
Unlike other medical tourism treatments such as heart surgery, recovery from the dentist is quick, which means patients can enjoy their holiday to the full.
Patients now having dental treatments carried out in India are increasing due to high quality service and low prices.
Lower costs
Dentists can charge up to $400 for a Dental Filling in USA & Europe. It costs only $20 in India. Root Canal treatment costs around $3,000 in the West but only $100 to $200 in India, here are some more sample approximate costs:
Ceramic Veneers (1) $160 Dental Bleaching (Both Arches) $200 Dental implants (1) $800 Bridge / crown porcelain $400
World class treatment
Dental treatment in India however does not mean lower quality and treatments compare with any in the world and are world class.
One reason why dental treatments in India have become so popular is the fact that many Indian dentists practice in the West.
This builds confidence for patients thinking of taking medical tourism packages to India, as they know the professionalism and expertise already, but also see the advantages of travelling to India for the substantial reductions in cost.
Western dentists simply cannot compete
The reason India is able to offer such competitive prices is due to the fact that infrastructure costs area a fraction of what they are in the West, as Indian dentists simply have a lower overhead which is passed on as a cost saving to patients.
