Did you know that in the United States, and depending on geographic location, average dental bonding costs roughly between $100 and $400 per tooth, though in most locations, the average ranges between $300 and $600 per tooth. In some cases, dental insurance may pay for partial or full costs, but always check policies to make sure. In locations such as India, dentists in Delhi, Mumbai, and Goa  may charge between $20 and $50 per tooth.

International destinations such as Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala and other South American countries are popular with American citizens for their proximity, affordable and inexpensive cosmetic dentistry costs, and state-of-the-art and world-class facilities. Medical travelers to such destinations may save between 20% and 70% on the same cost charged in the United States, while enjoying the benefit of experience and expertise offered in such locations.

Dentists in Costa Rica, such as the Chaves Dental Clinic and ConfiSmile Dental Spa in New Delhi, India offer dental tourists the best in care for affordable pricing.

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.

Dental professionals and clinics in South America, Hungary, and Asia offer the same services for quite a bit less. For example, dental implants in India range from $750 to $1,200 and porcelain or metal crowns or bridges cost only $125 to $300 each. Travelers to Argentina can save up to 70% on dental procedures, and in Europe, dental vacation travelers to Croatia will pay roughly $1,000 for dental implants and $430 for bleaching or teeth whitening procedures.

Those engaged in sports or heavy lifting often injure shoulders, and require the need for rotator cuff surgery, knee replacement or hip replacement surgeries, and a multitude of other orthopedic treatments and surgeries. Whether you need hip orthopedics or hip joint resurfacing, knee surgery or arthroscopic knee surgery, medical tourism destinations offer world class care and treatment for a fraction of the cost you’ll pay for such surgeries in the U.S.

 

Generally, there are two different yet common types of orthopedic surgery performed for a multitude of issues and injury repairs. Open surgery- Often times this procedure has better results than with Arthroscopy. Surgeons can perform this surgery with small incisions, and healing time is dependent on what type of surgery is performed. Arthroscopy- this procedure can be done by a surgeon using thin tubes that have lighting and lens being inserted into an incision to look at the shoulder joints on a TV monitor. To make repairs, instruments are also inserted through the small tubes and seen by the monitor to do the procedure.  

 

Arthroscopy surgery may treat such conditions as:

• Rotator Cuff Tears
• Biceps Tendonitis
• Shoulder Labral tears
• Impingement Syndrome
• Frozen Shoulder
• AC (acromioclavicular) Joint Arthritis

 

Knee surgery abroad offers patients high-tech and excellent care such as that found in the Tour2india4health Consultants  in Mumbai, India, or the CTG Healthcare Group in Izmir, Turkey or the Terme Selce Health and Sport center in Selce, Croatia.

 

Don’t limit your options, or what you pay for orthopedic surgeries, treatments or procedures. Know your choices and then choose the best.

Most types of obesity or bariatric surgeries in the United States are extremely expensive, which prevents many individuals from taking advantage of life-saving techniques and procedures. Obesity surgeries, which reign from lap banding to gastric bypass to gastroplasty or sleeve gastrectomy cost tens of thousands of dollars and involve multiple presurgical examinations, consultations, and long waiting lists.

An increasingly popular method of obtaining obesity & bariatric surgeries is to venture abroad to a multitude of high quality, accredited, and available facilities and destinations throughout the globe, such as Thailand, Mexico, South America, India and Southeast Asia.

For example, a laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure in the United States costs roughly (and a minimum) of $30,000. In India, the cost averages about $16,500. In Mexico and South American destinations, costs may average between $9,800 and $13,000.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that just because surgeries and procedures cost so much less in foreign destinations that surgeons or facilities are under-educated or under funded. Quite the contrary. In many locations, the Joint Commission International, the global arm of the Joint Commission in the United States, accredits many foreign destination medical facilities to ensure that high quality facility standards, medical care, and surgical training and experience are maintained.

An obesity surgery center found in destinations such as Amman, Jordan, Bangkok, Thailand, Mumbai, India, or closer to home in Mexico offers medical travelers not only the opportunity to see another part of the world, but to enjoy the best of compassionate, experienced and high-tech care without long waiting lists or dealing with the high cost of medical malpractice insurance that has driven American healthcare costs way beyond the ability of most Americans to pay.
