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.

Cocaine addiction is an insidious and vicious circle of self destruction that has a detrimental affect not only on the individual taking the drug, but on extended family members and friends. Addiction is known to be a chronically progressive disease. However, the goal and success of drug addiction treatment depends on the duration and type of abuse that has been experienced, related services, and post-treatment support and encouragement. Addictions can be managed, but special attention must be paid to the disruptive effect of addiction on the brain as well as behaviors.

Traditional treatments for substance abuse and drug addiction have involved detox programs where the body is weaned off alcohol, drugs, or the behavior, and include counseling, and in some cases, medications designed to help reduce symptoms of withdrawal. Cocaine substance abuse treatment plans may range between one and nine months, though some may extend beyond that, depending on need.

A successful rehab program should offer a variety of components that include treatment, counseling, support, compassion and guidance. Drug rehabilitation facilities such as those promoted by PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Denver Colorado offer resources and information on international cocaine treatment facilities that are affordable, private and effective in the treatment of multiple forms of addiction.

Facilities such as Dr. Vorobiev’s six international clinics, located throughout Serbia and Russia offer fully accredited physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, addiction treatment specialists and psychotherapy experts in Moscow, Belgrade, and Krasnodar, among others that offer hope, rehabilitation and recovery for cocaine addicts around the world.

You only get one set of eyes, and vision care is an essential part of overall health and well being.  Unfortunately, many of us put vision and dental care at the bottom of our health insurance needs, thinking that we won’t need glasses, corrective surgery, or suffer from eye or vision related conditions until we reach middle age or older. Unfortunately, we can never anticipate when vision problems may occur.

Individuals needing laser eye surgery, eye refractory surgery, or macular degeneration treatment, treatments for diabetic retinopathy, or corneal eye transplants often find themselves lacking the insurance to pay for such surgeries. Fortunately, travelers to international destinations can receive superlative, quality and affordable eye and LASIK care. Cataract surgery, LASIK technology, and treatments for diabetic retinopathy are available in facilities like the Ahalia Eye Hospital located in Kerala, India, a leader in eye treatments and surgical procedures in the world.

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.
