Combine vacation and dental work? Wait ... what?
Ready for your annual vacation?
​
Did you schedule your snorkeling excursion? Your museum tours? Your root canal? Wait … what?
When you think of tourism, you probably think of tropical beaches or famous attractions in a foreign city. But some people plan their vacation around "dental tourism". Scheduling a root canal or wisdom tooth extraction on vacation might seem odd, but more and more Americans are making appointments with dentists abroad. Many people do so to receive the high-quality care they cannot afford back home. Travel to destinations such as Costa Rica, Mexico, the Czech Republic, and Thailand -- the top spots for dental tourism -- can save people up to 70% on dental health costs.
Is it really worth it?
With the constantly rising costs of healthcare, many Americans and Canadians are making difficult decisions about their health.
One way that many Americans and Canadians are choosing to save money on costly dental treatments is by traveling abroad to have the work done for less. Medical and dental tourism, patients traveling to other countries for cheaper medical or dental care, has occurred throughout history, and today it’s as popular as ever.
How much can patients really save?
According to Patients Beyond Borders, a company that researches medical procedures in other countries in order to inform medical tourists, the top 10 destinations for dental tourism among U.S. patients are Mexico, Thailand, Hungary, Spain, Poland, Costa Rica, the Philippines, Malaysia, Turkey and the Czech Republic. U.S. patients can expect to save anywhere from 40%–75% on dental procedures. The large number of dental offices abroad also have access to the many dental labs in town, which means dental work is fast — and cheap. Prices are on average one-third the cost of their U.S. equivalents, and some patients report even lower prices.
Only Americans do travel abroad for dental care?
​
Dental tourism is broader than just US or Canada. People from other countries are also traveling for dental care. This is also very common practice in Europe. British often travel to Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. Irish people go to India, the United Arab Emirates, Malta and Turkey. Medical tourism in Europe has been growing 15% annually.
​
Do many patients combine dental care with a vacation?
​
More and more every year and U.S. citizens can also take advantage of these European markets. With a U.S. passport, patients can visit any country in Europe’s Schengen Area for a duration of up to 90 days without requiring a visa. The Schengen Area includes three of the top 10 global dental tourism countries (Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia). While in Europe for dental treatment, U.S. dental tourists can also travel to other countries in the Schengen Area as part of a European vacation.
