Dental
Tourism FAQ
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.
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 a surgery abroad package 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 hospital 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 surgical 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.
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?
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.
