Baby Boomers and Seniors can save big money going abroad for dental work - but they have to do their homework first.
Bangkok and Manila dentists are popular dental tourism destinations
Baby Boomers, +55, seniors - that ever growing segment of the US population are now going offshore in droves seeking affordable dentistry in Mexico and Asia. They are hoping to find good quality dental care away from home and are usually happy with their results - but not always.
Many are lured into clinics owned and operated by general dentists who in many developing nations such as Mexico - are permitted to learn advanced dental procedures at the patient’s expense.
Expensive procedures such as dental implants, mini implants and cosmetic dental makeovers are often half or less than the cost for the same procedures back in the US, Canada or other developed nations.
