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.

Many of us put our dental and oral hygiene at the bottom of the list when it comes to dental insurance, but then we find out something’s wrong and realize that instead of paying a relatively small deductible, we’re shelling out thousands of dollars for dental work.

This isn’t just about teeth whitening, but about cosmetic dentistry implants or a temporary dental bridge, dental bone implants, or the need to see dental implants specialists for a variety of reasons. It’s about needing partial dentures, lower dentures, or complete dentures, all of which may cost thousands of dollars before everything is said and done.

Rising medical and dental care costs prevent many individuals from seeking the services of a dentist, but inexpensive cosmetic dentistry can be had in convenient locations such as Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama. 

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Denver, Colorado, offers a multitude of medical and dental resources for individuals around the world. Showcasing state of the art, world-class and certified dental facilities such as Wellness Dental Group, located in San Jose, Costa Rica, Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry in Cancun, Mexico, or Global Medical Group, located in Christ Church, Barbados are just a few of many excellent and highly regarded cosmetic dentistry facilities found South of the Border.

When it comes to the best dental surgery abroad, look for traditional dental care techniques and cosmetic dental procedures that are affordable yet provide the quality that every dental patient is looking for.

Have you ever had trouble finding a dentist you liked? Have you ever been “fired” by a dentist because he or she just didn’t seem to want to take the time or effort to treat your specific dental problems or issues? More people are finding themselves turned away from dental offices because their dental issues are too complex or too time consuming compared to reimbursement for such services.

Dental treatments in the United States are growing increasingly expensive, and individuals looking for traditional dental fillings, extractions, bonding, dental crowns or bridges or even more complex procedures such as bone grafts or dental cyst operations find that the costs of cosmetic dentistry are astronomical.

In the United States, a single tooth extraction may cost up to $650. Travelers venturing south of the border to Mexico, Costa Rica and even further south into Panama, Guatemala, Columbia or Argentina can save between 50% and 75% on the same dental procedures, with the same quality as those performed in the United States.

Dental medical facilities such as Wellness Dental, located in Costa Rica, or the Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry facility in Cancun, Mexico offer American and international patients superlative dental expertise at a fraction of the costs found in the United States.

Travelers to Italy, Turkey, and Thailand find excellent, world-class and JCI accredited dental facilities for treatments and procedures such as cosmetic dentistry veneers, dental crowns and bridges, mini dental implants, flexible dentures, custom dentures, and inexpensive cosmetic dentistry that offers choices and options to suit every need.

After experiencing repetitive dental procedures and extreme costs for those treatments in the United States, a Colorado woman grew concerned about her ability to find a dentist who could deal with her dental problems that didn’t lead her into bankruptcy.

After accessing PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal developed by CEO Pramod Goel of Denver, Colorado, she researched her options and found several providers who could possibly help her obtain the quality dental care she wanted.

The woman chose Wellness Dental, a facility in San Jose, Costa Rica, after researching their credentials. One of their experts was Dr. Delfin Barquero, a professor at the University of Costa Rica and a prosthodontics and dental esthetic expert with a private practice in San Jose in two Costa Rica locations in addition to being a member of the American Dental Association.

When all was said and done, she received over $20,000 of comparable dental work for a fraction of the cost (less than one quarter) in Costa Rica. She had received a free quote on what the trip, including medical care would cost, and she made travel arrangements through PlacidWay to travel to Costa Rica.

Whether you need dental implants, dental bridges, dentures, orthodontics, teeth whitening or cosmetic dentistry , affordable cosmetic dentistry is out there. Personal health care is all about choices, and providing accurate and reliable resources to individuals are round the world seeking more control over their health care as well as affordable treatments and procedures is the focus of PlacidWay. Elective procedures, alternative medicine, wellness programs and retreats as well as surgical care abroad are growing in popularity as health care costs continue to rise in the United States.
