ASIAN & MEXICAN DENTAL VACATIONS OFFER GREAT SAVINGS FOR SENIORS & BABY BOOMERS

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.

Sometimes you just don't see it coming.

Living in Merida, Mexico, at the time, we were dashing around the house and packing for an early flight when a tall American forehead met a low Spanish Colonial doorway, and a top front tooth snapped cleanly in half.

Once we returned from the trip, we called our dentist and got an appointment immediately. In three visits, he cast a color-matched cap for the tooth, ground a post from the remaining half of the real tooth, and fit the new cap perfectly. It was as if nothing had ever happened.

In the States we estimate that we'd have paid anywhere from $800 to $1,500 for the same work, depending on the type, location and material of the cap or crown. Our dentist in Mexico charged less than $475.  Even though it wasn't a large amount, we didn't have that much cash on us.

"That's fine," he said, "bring it in when you get it."

That's dentistry in Mexico, and throughout most of the rest of Latin America where we've visited and lived. In at least five Latin American cities or towns, we've had fillings, root canals, cleanings...

And the story is always the same... great quality work at half the cost or less of the same work in the U.S.

The Cost of Dental Implants in Mexico

From Dental Tourism News Today 

"How much do dental implants cost in Mexico? Our Phoenix Editor at Dental Tourism News Today reviewed dental implant prices in Cabo, Tijuana, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun and found the cost dental implants in Mexico are about half of the cost of in the US and Canada but about 10-20% more than dental implant costs in Manila or Thailand. 

In the US we figure around  $3,400 to $6,000 per unit and sometimes as much as $7-8,000 at a pricey clinic in the upscale part of town if a sinus lift or bone graft are involved. The prices seems to be determined by how much more marble is in then clinic salon than bone graft material being used in the patient.

In Mexico and Asia, dental implants using name brands such as Nobel Biocare are only around $1,900 - $2,500 complete. 

Mini implant secured dentures or bridges (aka 4 on 1) are between $2,500 and $3,500 per upper or lower jaw in Mexico."  

Wherever you decide to have your dental implants - whether in Mexico or elsewhere - be sure to follow the advice of the American and Mexican Dental Associations and use the services of a Board Certified Dentist for your advanced dental procedures. 

In Mexico, certified dentists cost the same as general dentists so you can afford the best.

Even The 3 Stooges Could Do Cosmetic Dentistry in The USA -

The American Dental Association Says Cosmetic Dentistry is not a dental specialty... That's good news for the 3 Stooges...

In the US - cosmetic dentistry is not an American Dental Association (ADA) recognized specialty and any dentist can purchase a dental whitening machine, double their prices overnight and call themselves a Cosmetic Dentist. Some join the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists and hang the AACD membership certificate on their salon wall for added credibility. 

Anyone can join the AACD so long as they pay the membership fees.  Dental students, dental lab technicians, dental suppliers, general dentists and even the 3 Stooges would be welcome.
