Cosmetic dentistry is provided for children and adults to treat tooth disorders, gum disease, child dental health issues and to provide overall dental health for adults. The field contains procedures that offer a wide range of treatments, from filling cavities to covering broken teeth with porcelain crowns. Cosmetic dentistry can help repair and improve unsightly stains, brighten smiles, and repair and replace chipped or broken teeth.

 

Unfortunately, cosmetic dentistry can be expensive, depending on the procedure. In the United States for example, implants may cost $1,200-$2,000 apiece. Bonding may cost $300-$600 a tooth, and crowns may cost anywhere from $800-$1,000.

 

However, destinations in the Middle East in locations such as the Red Sea and Hurghada in Egypt are growing increasingly popular when it comes to affordable and excellent dental care and services. Egypt has some of the highest standards of cosmetic surgery in the world, and some of the lowest prices. The advantages of medical tourism are savings on medical procedures accompanied by a great escape from everyday life.

Mr. Mohamed Ali of Egypt contacted the Izmir Dental Clinic, also known as Teras Dental, which has over 20 years of experience treating a variety of dental needs. Suffering from a broken front tooth and five missing teeth on the sides of his mouth, dentists in his native Egypt told Mohamed he needed crowns. Mohamed wanted to find the best dental clinic that would meet his needs without taking a big chunk out of his wallet.

Mohamed wrote a note to PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in the United States that offered information regarding dental clinics in Europe. Mohamed was mildly surprised when he received an immediate reply from the Izmir Dental Clinic explaining their treatment for ceramic crowns, the cost, and the fact that the Izmir clinic price included accommodations for a five-day stay in a comfortable hotel in the city of Izmir.

Jan, a Fort Collins, Colorado native found herself in a difficult situation after she was figuratively “fired” from by her third dentist. After accessing PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal developed by CEO Pramod Goel of Denver, Colorado, Jan researched her options and found several providers who could possibly help her obtain the quality yet caring dental care she was looking for. Jan eventually chose Wellness Dental, a state of the art and experienced dentistry clinic in Costa Rica.

What do Mohamed and Jan have in common? A desire for better health care, more choices and options, affordability, accessibility, and the desire to actually venture abroad for excellent, experienced, accredited, certified and affordable dental care. Growing numbers of international patients are venturing beyond borders for healthcare with success, satisfaction, and huge savings.

Today, stem cell therapies are also being studied at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine to prevent acute lung injuries. Embryonic, placental, and umbilical cord stem cell treatments and research continues to focus on unlimited potential to treat, reduce the symptoms of, and perhaps potentially cure, degenerative disease processes such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, and medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Facilities throughout the world, including those in stem cell treatment facilities in Mexico, the Ukraine, South Korea, and Western Europe continue to research adult stem cells, stem cell therapies, and potential stem cell treatments for everything from chronic illnesses to repairing heart, lung, or brain tissue damage by injury or disease processes.

Recently, over $230 million dollars in grants was awarded to a variety of California companies and universities for basic stem cell research in the treatment of diseases like AIDS and cancer.  Today, most stem cell research and development is non embryonic in nature, but individuals anxiously awaiting the legalization of stem cell treatments and procedures in the United States may have some time to wait, prompting many citizens to travel to facilities such as that of Integra, with Dr. Omar Gonzalez or ProgenCell, located in Mexico, or EmCell facilities, located in the Ukraine.

In an effort to hasten the availability of stem cell treatment and research in the United States, a group of American doctors have formed the American Stem Cell Therapy Association, encouraging FDA approval of stem cell research.  Until then, Americans are traveling abroad to reap the benefits of stem cell research and technology.
