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.

In recent years, Barbados has become one of the most popular medical tourism destinations for international travelers from the United States, South America, South Africa and Europe. State-of-the-art treatments in fertility and infertility, cardiology, cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures, and dental and cosmetic dental medicine has drawn thousands of travelers to her sandy beaches and world-class medical facilities. A multitude of medical facilities, clinics and hospitals in Barbados are accredited by the JCI International, a U.S. health accreditation body.

Medical tourism is growing around the world, and it is estimated that nearly 800,000,000 patients will travel beyond borders in 2010 for medical and health care, a great number of them to Barbados. Medical spas and health and wellness tourism has hit it big in Barbados and travel executives in the Caribbean recently joined together to promote medical tourism and global health for Americans and Europeans.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Colorado, knows that competition for medical care is rising, as will the demand for orthopedic surgeries such as hip joint replacement as well as diagnostic medicine and dental care needed by growing numbers of Baby Boomers. Cost of medical care in Barbados will be similar to that found in Latin American countries such as Costa Rica.

With the debate over health care reform and rising health care costs raging in the United States, more Americans will seek medical care abroad. What better than to schedule treatment in a vacation location? Barbados, a jewel of the Caribbean, meets that criteria, and will offer its medical facilities and treatment centers to the growing list of global health and wellness providers in coming years. PlacidWay is dedicated to providing relevant and timely resources for the health and wellness industry for travelers around the world.

The popularity of medical travel, more commonly known as medical tourism is a more common topic these days than it used to be. At first, people were leery of the concept of visiting other countries for their international medical care needs. What about qualifications? What about experience? What about education in various medical procedures and techniques? Unfortunately, many individuals, mostly in the United States, don’t realize that many other countries in the world offer world class, high-tech and state of the art equipment, surgeons and physicians in most medical fields, including cancer treatment and research, orthopedics, autoimmune disease processes, cosmetic and plastic surgeries, dental care and dental surgeries and more.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal, offers individuals up-to-date information and resources for individuals considering medical tourism. Questions about Spine Care Abroad to anti aging abroad, dental and cosmetic surgery, orthopedics and stem cell research are front and center at PlacidWay.

Some of the most common questions and individuals considering traveling to another country for medical care would naturally be:

  • How much will it cost?
  • How do I get there?
  • How will I navigate my way in a country where I don’t know the language?
  • Will someone meet me at the airport and take me to the medical facility?
  • Will translators be available?
  • How much training does the surgeon or physician have in this procedure?

Of course, there’s probably 1,000 more questions than any given individual might want to ask, the taking the first step means researching the facility, checking our web sites, and if possible, contacting individuals who have undergone surgery or treatments at that facility.

Doctor and facility certification, accreditation, standards of care and quality of care should be uppermost, and patients, regardless of origin, should never be afraid to ask questions of the physician or surgeon. After all, it’s your care.  Options are at your fingertips, and it’s up to you to choose which medical facility will best meet your needs.

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.

A large percent of baby boomers (those between the ages of 45-65) are currently uninsured. Many who belong to this age group have lost their jobs due to aging, unemployment or downsizing and are no longer covered by affordable health care or insurance.

 

Traveling beyond local borders offers this group, more than any other demographic, the opportunity to pursue and receive premium healthcare, alternative treatments and travel, all at the same time. Boomers are leading the way to more affordable healthcare, seeking medical care overseas to address such needs as knee and hip replacement surgeries, cardiac care, and alternative treatments for chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, orthopedic procedures, and dental care.

 

American boomers needing dental care and prescriptions often travel south of the border into Mexico or even as far as Brazil, Argentina, and Costa Rica for their needs. Dental procedures as well as medications in Latin American countries is less than half of what comparable procedures and medications cost in the United States. Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia are popular destinations for those needing hip or knee replacement surgeries. Europeans are making trips to Hungry and Poland for dental and cosmetic procedures at great savings, even after including the cost of travel and hotel or clinic accommodations.

 

Hospitals in South America or Asia generally cost one half of the price charged in the United States and Europe. For example, cardiac and orthopedic surgeries performed in India can save health travelers nearly $20,000 or more with one surgical procedure.

 

The health and wellness industry is booming, and today’s older adults and boomers are leading the way to a new revolution in affordable health care known as medical tourism.
