Tour the World, Fix Your Smile: Your Guide to the Dental Tourism Trend

Let’s be honest here. Did you just get a quote for dental work that made your eyes water more than a spicy curry? The costs of achieving that perfect smile can be astronomical in countries like the US, UK & Australia. But what if you could get that stunning smile, and experience one of the most colourful countries in the world, all for a fraction of the cost?

Welcome to India, the undisputed leader in the dental tourism trend. It’s not just about the savings; it’s about enhancing your entire dental experience. Here’s your basic dental tourism guide to receiving world-class dental treatment in the land of incredible diversity.

So, Why is Everyone Coming to India for Their Smile?

In short, India gives you the winning trinity of cost, quality, and culture.

1. The Amazing Cost Savings

This is the heavy-hitter. Because of a favorable currency conversion rate and low operating costs in India, premium dental treatments can be had for 60-80% less than it would be in your home country.

A dental implant is going to cost you about $4,000 dollars in the US, but will only cost you about $800 to $1,200 here in India.

• A full set of porcelain veneers? Instead of 20,000 dollars, you could be closer to 5,000 dollars.

That’s enough to cover your flights, 5-star hotel and a trip to the Taj Mahal!

2. Absolutely No Compromise on Quality

Let’s bust a huge myth: lower cost does not mean lower quality. India’s top dental clinics are equipped with the latest German and American technology. Our dentists are highly skilled, often trained in the UK or US, and handle complex cases every single day. Plus, with English being widely spoken by all medical professionals, you’ll never feel lost in translation.

3. The Incredible India Experience

This is the benefit that no other country can offer. When you have fixed teeth in India, you can recover as if you are on a holiday.

• Had your procedure in Delhi? Visit ancient Mughal forts.
• Had your procedure in Mumbai? Experience the glam of Bollywood.
• Down south? Recover in a peaceful wellness retreat in Kerala’s backwaters.
• Not only are you getting a new smile, but you are also creating lifelong memories.

Your “Dental Trip to India” Checklist

Ready to take the plunge? Here’s a quick checklist to make sure your journey is smooth and successful.

1. Research Clinics in Major Cities: Seek out well-rated clinics located in major cities with international airports, such as Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore. These clinics are very capable of working with international patients.
2. Check Credentials & Reviews: Search for the credentials of the dentists and read testimonials of previous foreign patients. A high quality clinic will have a gallery of “before and after” photos that they are proud of and want to show-off.
3. Schedule A Video Consultation: You must do this! A video call allows you to meet (virtually) the team and discuss your treatment plan. It will also give you an impression of the clinic’s professionalism and communication.
4. Ask About The Complete Package: Top clinics in India are good at this! An appropriate clinic will help you with everything from airport pickups, finding appropriate hotels, and they will even suggest tour operators, making you feel like they are looking after you from the moment you arrive.
