Why go to another country for dental services?

The main reason for going abroad for medical services is access to world class dental care. Furthermore, the favorable price level makes dental care of the highest international standards available to everyone. However, price should not be considered the main factor in deciding to have surgery abroad. Having dental surgery abroad is without a doubt a big decision and therefore the quality of care should be the most important factor to consider. Here are some advantages of dental treatment in India.

Access to state of the art medical facilities
English speaking medical staff
Significant savings for healthcare
No waiting times to be treated
High quality level of service

Will I be able to speak with the Dental surgeon prior to departure?

Yes, absolutely! If you have any questions for the dental surgeon we will be happy to help you. When you have requested us to put together packages for you we will facilitate a pre-departure consultation with your surgeon.

What should I tell my dentist?

We encourage our patients to discuss their plans with their primary physician/dentist. While most physicians are familiar with the concept of medical tourism, it may be necessary for you to help educate them further on the proposition and share some of our educational materials. It is not uncommon for a physician’s initial reaction to be skeptical, although we find that doctors generally become more receptive to the idea once they look into the actual hospitals, physician credentials and overall price differential.

Do you have access to the latest technology and medical devices?

Our clinic has state-of-the-art facilities and all the latest equipment you would find in Western clinics.

Why does medical care cost so much less abroad?

Patients can receive expert dental care for 60-80% less cost at our clinic. Fees in the U.S. are driven by labor overhead, administrative expenses, and insurance contracts. Over 71 percent of medical costs are labor related according to a recent World Health Organization report which helps to explain some of the cost advantages for countries with low labor costs. We eliminates these burdens allowing us to offer premier services at prices unavailable in the U.S. Quality has always been our primary concern. Our continued success depends entirely upon our reputation for world-class dental services.

What language do you speak at the clinic?

All dentists and other staff at our clinic speak English fluently.

Will I need a Passport and Visa?

Yes you will definitely need a valid passport and a visa. You can learn more about the process at our website.

How many days after the dental surgery can I stay?

Patients can stay as long as they like after their treatment is complete. Many choose to travel around their destination country and tour the major sites after their medical treatment. Your medical quote will indicate the minimum number of days you need for recuperation before you fly home when they send your treatment quote. This duration may vary depending on your treatment and recovery.

Who else goes to India for Dental Treatment?

We get numerous patients from USA, UK, Australia, Canada, middle east & many other countries.

Is the Hygiene and Sterilization up to world standards?

We use world class sterlization technology and techniques.

How do I know what I need to have done if I haven’t been to a dentist in many years?

There are two ways to do this: you can of course go to a Dentist in your country and get a full check up and get a Quote as some of our clients do, or a lot of clients have already been to a dentist and got the shock of the quote so they already know what procedures they need to have done.

Then there is the highest percentage of our clients who just do it all over in India on there first visit to the our Dental Clinic as you will need a full check up on your first visit anyway, Including X Rays, Clean and Scale, Full Check up as you would do here.

What is the best format for Medical Reports?

The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard is most preferred format for the Medical Reports. You may upload your lab reports in PDF or JPEG format.
