Dental
Tourism FAQ
How much will
I save if I have a dental procedure in India?
That depends on the type of dental procedure you choose
but the price level in India is very favorable with cost savings
upto 80% compared to prices in the UK and the US. This will enable
you to enjoy recuperation on an amazing beach or a short holiday
in addition to your surgery and still return home with a significant
cost saving. To request an estimate simply
fill out the inquiry form.
Do you have any
branches in other countries?
We currently do not have
any dental offices in other countries outside of India.
Why go toanother
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. Please click
here to learn more about it.
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.
I need more
information which is specific to me before I make any decisions?
Obviously, you will have
a good idea of the Dental work that you require before considering
having major work performed overseas but we do insist on a Consultation
before you book your Dental vacation.
How will I get
to India?
You can fly into New
Delhi (airport code DEL) from all the major cities
throughout the world. Click here to
learn more about your travel options.
Where will I
stay?
It really depends on
you. We can help with a wide selection of accommodation ranging
from basic (3 star) up to luxurious (5 star) if you need help with
your stay. We provide a list
of local hotels that are close to our clinic.
How long will
I have to stay in India for?
Again, this depends
on what treatment you require but everything will come clear once
you have had your consultation but it could range from a couple
of days to a couple of weeks. We can tell you the number of days
you will need to spend in India for dental treatment before you
make your travel plans.
How much notice
do I have to give for an appointment and travel planning?
There is a lot of planning
that goes into your trip, so as much notice as you can give is helpful.
Always speak to us to discuss your requirements before doing anything.
We appreciate that some of our clients will require emergency treatment
& we will do our best to get you seen as soon as possible.
How do I know
if my dental procedures will be completed in the time limit I have?
During our treatment planning,
we take into account your travel time and are aware of how long your
stay is in the country and we will have a timeline for completion
of your procedures already planned out before you reach India. We
will reserve the time for you to ensure timely completion of dental
procedures.
As our client you will
receive High Priority, and we will discuss the procedures you are
most interested in having done then advise you on how long you will
need to stay to have these completed.
Do your dental packages include the flight as well?
No, as we offer our services on a very individual basis it is impossible
for us to include flights in the packages due to airline ticket
policies. However, at your convenience we will assist you in finding
the best flight or even easier, here is
some information that can help you with travel arrangements.
Can I bring my partner or even travel with my family?
Of course you can! All our dental tour services can be extended
for your company at a small surcharge. We are also happy to work
out special arrangements if you travel with more then two persons,
for instance with your family. Kids and pets are also welcome. Please
ask for details when you inquire.
How can I contact you?
Please use our contact form to send us
your inquiry. Alternatively you can call us
directly. If you have a general or business inquiry you can
also email us.
