Why NRIs Choose India for Quality Dental Treatment?

For the millions of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) living across the globe-from the bustling streets of New York and London to the quiet suburbs of Sydney and Toronto-a trip to India is always special. It is a return to roots, a time for family reunions, vibrant weddings, and the comfort of home-cooked food. But in recent years, a new item has been added to the “must-do in India” checklist, right alongside shopping for ethnic wear and visiting the Taj Mahal: visiting the dentist.

Gone are the days when dental treatments in India were seen as a compromise. Today, dental tourism in India is a booming sector, driven not just by cost savings, but by a pursuit of superior quality and efficiency. NRIs are increasingly realizing that the best place to safeguard their smile is right back at home.

Here is why thousands of NRIs are trusting clinics like Thyme Dental for their NRI dental care India needs.

1. Unmatched Value: World-Class Care at a Fraction of the Cost

First and foremost, we should address the elephant in the room: Cost. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia all have notoriously high prices for dental work. A dental implant or root canal typically costs tens of thousands of dollars, usually not covered by your insurance plan. In India, our price structure is drastically lower than what you might find in these countries; we are able to offer the same procedures as these top-tier clinics at approximately 60-80% of the cost. However, at Thyme Dental, we are very careful to clearly differentiate between affordable and cheap in terms of price. The primary reason why our prices are able to be so much lower than those found in the United States, UK, and Australia is because of our lower overhead costs at our clinics in India, not because we cut corners. 

2. The “Student Special”: Efficient Care During Festive Breaks

One of the most common trends we see in the Gurgaon and Delhi area involves the next generation. Many families here have children pursuing their studies abroad in the US, UK, or Canada. We understand that these students often have tight academic schedules and can only visit home for short periods, especially during festive seasons like Christmas or summer holidays. Thyme Dental realizes that time is an important factor for college students who may be studying abroad when they come home for breaks. As a result, we will work with the parent(s) in advance of the student’s arrival, to prepare a treatment plan specific to their needs, and set up an appointment before the student has stepped foot on Indian soil. This way, we can provide quick, effective treatment for the student during their break and ensure they leave home with a clean, healthy mouth, ready to attend university without interruption of their academic work due to dental issues..

3. Eliminating Uncertainty Before You Travel

Travellers greatest fear is often the uncertainty regarding medical care. “Will the costs be higher than I expected” and “Will my appointment process take too long” are normal questions and are the basis of our belief that travellers should feel secure before packing their bags. We have established a “pre-travel” method to allow Travellers to have peace of mind, through our transparent process. The process starts with a virtual consultation by either video call or email from home while living abroad. Travellers can send us their X-ray, pictures and dental history for our specialists to review their case before making any flight arrangements. Once we have reviewed your case, you will receive a complete treatment plan that will provide you with a cost breakdown; how many visits and how long the treatment will take, before booking a flight. No hidden fees, no surprises.

4. Time Management

Our goal is to make sure you have time in India for everything you want to do. That’s why we have flexible scheduling to fit in around your travel plans and activities while in Delhi. When you arrive in India, we can see you quickly so you can start your travel, or get your treatment right away. You may come back for the final appointment two or three weeks later after traveling the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur) or spending time with family. This way you spend less time in our dental chair, and more quality time with your family and friends.

5. Technology That Feels Like Home

For patients visiting from abroad, stepping into Thyme Dental feels instantly familiar. We utilize the same cutting-edge technology and digital workflows found in top international clinics. This commitment to advanced infrastructure is why so many Travellers choose us, they know they are getting world-class precision and high-tech care right here in India. Our clinic is home to experts across multiple specialties, ensuring every dental need is met under one roof. If you are a patient requiring multiple services, you do not need to go to multiple locations around the area to receive those services, e.g. implantologist, cosmetic dentist, endodontist etc. All those services are provided under one roof at Thyme Dental.
