What is Dental Tourism?

Being in good health is one of the factors that ensure happiness. It plays an important role in the overall wellbeing of an individual. People in good health contribute to a healthy nation which translates to economic progression. Quality healthcare needs to affordable and accessible to everyone so that a vast majority of the population enjoys good health.

Poor accessibility to a healthcare institution is a problem we see in underdeveloped and developing countries. But in developed economies, it is the other way round. In developed economies like the US, affordability of healthcare is a problem.

A Glimpse of Healthcare Cost in the US
Healthcare in the U.S is almost twice as expensive as any other developed country. The heavy costs do not translate to better healthcare. Because the U.S is only in 37th position in WHO’s ranked healthcare systems. This makes an average Westerner wonder if there are better quality healthcare options in other countries at a more affordable cost. This thought had given rise to the idea of medical tourism.

Medical tourism is something where people travel abroad to other countries to get medical treatment. During the earlier days, people from less developed countries who had affordability used to travel to major medical centers in developed countries. But in recent years, people from developed countries are traveling to other countries to obtain quality medical treatment at an affordable cost. Dental tourism is a subset of the above mentioned medical tourism. The idea of quality dental care at lower costs is the driving force for dental tourists. For example, lowered fixed costs, cheap labor, lesser government intervention, lower expenses, and lower insurance costs make dental work in India cost significantly lower than in other countries.

Dental Tourism

A World Perspective

Like India, there are several other countries that offer quality dental treatments at an affordable cost. Dental Tourism is particularly popular among Europeans and Americans. This is because, even basic dental services like root canal treatments, veneers, crowns, etc are expensive in those countries. So the dental implants and other specialty dental procedures are obviously too expensive.

Americans and Canadians, generally lean towards Latin American countries which offer inexpensive, high-quality dental care.

Mexico is one of the preferred destinations for Americans to receive their dental work done. The fact that Mexico being close to the border of the US, allows many people to get routine dental check-ups for just a fraction of the price. Costa Rica and Colombia are other countries in Latin America offering some of the best dental care in the world.

Similarly, people from the UK, travel to other countries in the EU for good dental treatment at a cheaper cost. Spain, Hungary, Turkey, Poland are some of the countries in the EU to which the Brits turn towards for affordable dental treatments.

In Asia, India followed by the Philippines are attractive destinations for dental tourism. The fact that many healthcare professionals in the US and other developed western economies are of Indian origin gives them the reputation of being one of the best dentists in the world.

Why is Dental Tourism in India the best?

If you are seeking professional dental treatments with International standards and cutting edge technology, then look no further than India. India is home to some of the top dentists in the world and some of them have even pursued their education and training from the U.S. Dental tourism in India is way cheaper in comparison to other countries. Dental tourism is a fast-growing industry in India. At this rate, India expects to be the top dental tourism destination in the forthcoming years.
