What if you could fly to another country, stay in a nice hotel, get all your dental work done (at a top-notch facility), and partake in leisurely activities – all at a cheaper price than you\u2019d expect to pay in your home country? Whether you need a general dental check-up or a major procedure like wisdom tooth removal, dental tourism allows you to travel abroad to take advantage of excellent and more affordable care in another country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you like the sound of that, then you\u2019re certainly not alone. You\u2019re just one of thousands dental tourists each year. But how do you decide which country to go to? In this <\/span>Pacific Prime Thailand <\/span><\/a>article, we\u2019ll give you a quick rundown of the 4 best countries in the world for dental tourism – though it\u2019s worth pointing out that where you ultimately choose to go will depend on your unique needs, preferences, and of course, the country you\u2019re flying from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Note<\/b>: This article will write from a US perspective, assuming that prospective dental tourists are based in the US and comparing local prices with their US equivalent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. India\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Did you know that dental care in India can cost about 70% less than in the US? You can easily find clinics that have international accreditation and partnerships with Western equivalents. Another huge draw for India is that it has the second largest English-speaking population outside the US, so you\u2019ll have no issue finding an English-speaking dentist. That being said, there can also be many dodgy clinics so be sure to stay clear of those.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside of dental care, you\u2019ll have no shortage of things to see and do in the country. India is a vast and diverse country – a subcontinent in its own right, and is home to one of the world\u2019s earliest civilizations. From visiting the Taj Mahal in the North to exploring the backwaters of Kerala in the South, it\u2019ll take you more than a few trips to experience all that the country has to offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Hungary<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hungary has long been a popular destination for Europeans looking for high-quality, low-cost dental treatments. One can easily hop on a low cost flight from Scandinavia or Western Europe and go on a short trip to the country for dental procedures. For US dental tourists, the cost of dental care is about one-third of what you\u2019d expect to pay in the US, and Hungary can be a good base from which to explore the rest of the continent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, foodies will enjoy trying Eastern European cuisine found in Hungary. These are typically rich foods like Goulash, Fisherman\u2019s Soup, Meat Pancakes, and more. The capital, Budapest, is also a culturally exciting place to spend some time in. Its architecture rivals any other major city in the world, and it also boasts diverse nightlife and cultural entertainment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Mexico<\/span><\/h2>\n

While Mexico isn\u2019t the cheapest country on this list for dental care, it\u2019s the only country that you can drive to from the US. So it\u2019s no wonder that millions of people travel down south to Mexico each year for their dental needs. Cost savings are not insignificant either, with savings close to 50 or 60%. Plus, savings can also be made on expensive long-haul flights and the time needed to travel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
