Tropical Destinations for Dental Tourism


In addition to saving a lot of money by going abroad for dental work, you can make it into the perfect getaway.  If you want to plan the perfect holiday and save money on your dental work, then try planning a dental trip to a tropical destination.

Phuket, Thailand
Phuket is Thailand’s biggest island.  It is abuzz with everything you need from the “modern world,” but still maintains the charm of a tropical island.  If you want to get even more remote, then you can even stay on Phi Phi Islands and take a quick 30 minute ferry ride to Phuket for your dental visit.  Whether you need teeth whitening or dental implants Phuket, Thailand is the perfect tropical getaway for your dental holiday.  Phuket is a particularly popular destination for dental patients from Australia and the United Kingdom.


Cancun, Mexico
Cancun is one of the most popular tropical vacation destinations for Americans, which might be why it has also turned into a popular dental tourism destination. Traveling to Cancun from the United States is relatively cheap, thus adding to the overall savings for an American in need of dental work. 

Belize
This small Central American country is a great choice for patients who don’t want to bother about any potential language problems.  As English is the official language of Belize, it makes it easy for dental tourists to communicate with dentists.  This may not be a very common destination for dental tourism, but if you are getting a relatively simple procedure, then you should be able to find a dentist capable of fulfilling your needs. 

Costa Rica
Another country in Central America, Costa Rica is known for its abundance wildlife.  When you travel to Costa Rica for dental work, you can spend the week hanging out on white, sandy beaches, or experiencing the rich flora and fauna of the jungles.  Costa Rica is a popular dental and medical tourism destination for Americans.

Goa, India
Less popular for dental tourism and more popular for being one of the most happening beach towns in India, patients can still find good dental treatment in Goa.  Enjoy the Portuguese architecture, the never-ending parties, or some shipside gambling while you get your dental work in Goa, India. Dental and medical tourism in India is popular with patients from the United Kingdom.

These are just a few tropical destinations for your dental holiday.  It’s advised that you pick a location that is in the same region as your home country to help you save the most amount of money while on your tropical dental holiday. If you are interested in a tropical dental trip, Thailand, Belize, India, Mexico, or Costa Rica might have what you are looking for. Get your teeth whitened, and put on a great tan, before you head back to the envy of your friends.
