Wondering what happened to that nice smile you used to have? On the other hand, if you were never happy with that smile, consider dental surgery abroad. For the best dental surgery abroad, consider dental clinics in Croatia, dental vacations in Turkey or the best teeth whitening in India. Some of the best dental treatments include affordable dental implants in Poland, or the services of dentists in Costa Rica. The world is, literally, your dental oyster.

 

Cosmetic dentistry is a field that includes, but is not limited to such services such as:

 

·         Repairing rough spots or chips

·         Filling cavities

·         Filling gaps between teeth

·         Bleaching teeth for a whiter, brighter smile

·         Covering and protecting broken teeth with porcelain crowns

·         Improving dental health and function through bonding, bridges, and dental implant

 

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, Croatia, 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 Croatia can save at Dental Implants Croatia in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Travelers to Croatia will pay roughly $1,000 for dental implants and $430 for bleaching or teeth whitening procedures. Those traveling to Bangkok Dental Image in Thailand may find prosthodontics and dental treatments at a fraction of the cost as dental services in the U.S.

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.
