3 Internet Falsehoods That You Need To Avoid Before Planning Your Dental Care Abroad

3 Internet Falsehoods That You Need To Avoid Before Planning Your Dental Care Abroad

Are you curious about possible options for your dental care abroad including implants, teeth whitening and orthodontics but don’t know the best and economic destinations to get your teeth well treated? You’ve come to the right place. It is not an easy risk to take and of course, you might have many questions to be answered in order to feel completely comfortable before your medical and touristic trip.

What are the best destinations for dental tourism? How are these treatments reimbursed? How does this happen? How to choose a dental clinic abroad? What are the rates? All of these questions can best be answered through Remed Health’s website or by its representatives, but first here are the 3 most common internet falsehoods about dental care abroad that you need to avoid immediately:

1. Foreign dentists are untrustworthy and poorly trained


False. It is possible to come across incompetent dentists anywhere in the world including  United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden or elsewhere. There are many dentists in Turkey who have completed their education and their training in outstanding foreign colleges and prestigious universities of Turkey and also have their memberships of American or British Dental Care Association. To further clear any suspicions, you may always check out photos of distinguished hospitals and their offices in which they are currently working from the website of Remed Health to get a clear idea.

2. The low cost of procedures is the equivalent of low quality


False. The low price of dentistry does not mean that it is “cheap” or “bad”. Dentists in Turkey use same materials (titanium implant screws, porcelain finishing) and technology as the dentists in your home country. The first reason behind the low costs is the cost of labor, and the secondary reason is that dentists who practice dentistry outside the Western countries do not have to pay much for their dental insurance and this reduces the cost of patients’ provided services. Thanks to much lower prices in Turkey, patients can benefit from more than one medical service for the same price that they can get in their country.

3. Travel expenses don’t make it worth it 


False. The difference of the costs between having crowns or implants done in U.S or Europe versus Turkey can really be up to thousands of dollars/euros. You can save up to 70% compared to the treatment at your country. While doing so, you can also enjoy your vacation in Turkey while making the most of your medical treatment.
