Many patients choose to travel abroad for dental care because of the high costs of dentists at home or because their national health care scheme does not provide dental care. In these cases, patients sometimes find it is less expensive to fly to a nearby country for dental care and pay out of pocket. Other patients take a yearly vacation to another country where dental care is cheaper and schedule their dental appointments for the same time. Dentists abroad often have the same or better qualifications than those in the US and UK. We recommend choosing an accredited dental professional who is experienced and caters to international patients.
