Why Dental Tourism is on the Rise?

Today more and more people are making the trip outside the country to get dental work done. With the rising costs of dental insurance and with more and more Americans unable to afford dental insurance.  It’s easy to see why so many Americans are crossing the border to have their dental work done.

But where are Americans going to have their dental work done? Where should you go if you are thinking about having dental work done? The most popular destinations today for Americans are Thailand, Mexico, and Costa Rica. Thailand is by far the cheapest option, but it is not the closest option for Americans to explore. 

It is a long flight, especially for Americans on the East coast and if you are a working American, and don’t want to spend all your time flying just to have some dental work done. Thailand is a great option, but it is not the closest or more time-efficient option out there. 

The next most popular options would be Mexico and Costa Rica. But with the rising safety problems in Mexico, it is also not the best option. That leaves Costa Rica, one of the world's greenest countries. It uses around 98% renewable energy and is just a close flight from the USA, under 5 hours from most major airports. Costa Ricans are friendly and English is widely spoken. 

It is growing with medical tourism and dental tourism? But is dental care in Costa Rica safe? Nicer Smile has an article discussing this topic. Where they discuss just exactly how safe dental tourism is in Costa Rica and why you should consider it. With dental costs anywhere from 50 - 75 percent cheaper in Costa Rica than you would find with your dentist back home, its hard to understand why more Americans aren’t doing it. 

Getting to enjoy a lovely vacation while getting your dental work done. I couldn’t think of a better way I would want to spend my days, after spending all that time in the dental chair. Reward yourself with a lovely vacation and enjoy some time on the beach after the dentist's chair. But what beach town should you pick to get your dental work done? If you are looking for a beach to choose to get your dental work done you might want to look at this article on the Top Beaches in Costa Rica.  

If beaches are not your cup of tea Costa Rica has so much more to offer, you may want to think about heading to the mountain region of Arenal. If you are more of a city person than you may want to check out the capital of San Jose. Where there are plenty of dentists to choose from. If you are in need of any medical procedures as well, San Jose is a popular place to get them done. 

Americans have been crossing the border for a long time to save money on their plastic surgery, medical bills, and dental work. It’s easy to see why, when doctors are trained and studied in the USA, but offer and practice in Costa Rica for a fraction of the price, it hard not to want to save money.  Why not book your ticket today?
