Dental Implant Tourism
Tourism is the biggest driver of GDP in Thailand. Within the tourism component in Thailand, Dental Tourism is a huge industry, offering westerners thousands of dollars of savings and access to world class dentists and modern facilities. While people are visiting Thailand for a wide range of dental procedures (porcelain veneers, crowns, braces, and oral surgery) Dental Implants remain the most sought after service. In this blog we will break down the costs involved, time needed during a stay in Thailand for an implant, and the process of the surgery and post care.
Cost & Savings
A high quality titanium implant from Switzerland (typically regarded as the best type of dental implant) costs around $10,000 in the United States. In Thailand the same type of implant costs between $2500-$4000 (depending on where the implant procedure is done). On average, an American can save about $3000-$5000 USD per implant the procedure in Thailand opposed to the United States including cost of flying and accommodation.
Time Needed In Thailand For A Dental Implant
How long a person needs to stay in Thailand for a Dental Implant depends on whether or not the tooth they need an implant for has been extracted or not. Typically after a tooth is extracted, the gum and area in the mouth receiving the implant needs 1-3 months to heal and become strong enough to receive the implant.
If the tooth that needs to be replaced has already been extracted and the gum is strong enough to take an implant, the total needed for the Implant procedure is 7-10 days and 3 visits to the hospital or clinic.
Visit 1 – Consultation with the dentist performing the surgery.
Visit 2 – Performing the implant surgery.
Visit 3 – Follow up at with the dentist to remove stiches and check results.
Avoid Wait Times
Unlike many countries where a patient may need to wait months to receive a Dental Implant, in Thailand there are no wait times. The reason for this is that Thailand’s medical and dental system is privatized and there are a plethora of high quality options for the procedure.
Internationally Accredited Dentists & High Quality Facilities
The dental care in Thailand is on par with the best in the world. There are scores of internationally training and licensed dentists ready to perform implant surgeries. There are also a large amount of JCI accredited, state of the art hospitals and dental clinics where the treatments are performed.
