Why does Dental 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 % 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 eliminate these burdens allowing us to offer premier services at prices unavailable in the U.S.A.. Quality has always been our primary concern. Our continued success depends entirely upon our reputation for world-class dental services.
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.
