The cost of dentistry in developed countries is constantly rising and it is expected to increase further in the next few years. Many Aussies and Kiwis find it difficult to afford even the most basic dental care at home.
A popular treatment for dental tourists is an All-on-4 dental implant. This treatment is not covered by government-funded healthcare as it is considered a cosmetic procedure, but is travelling all the way to Phuket for dental work worth your while? Read on to find out:
Why is Dentistry So Cheap in Thailand?
The cost of dentistry in developed countries is low due to the low cost of living in Thailand. With lower costs for rent, staff, and other necessities, dentists in Phuket can charge less and still live a good lifestyle.
Dental clinics receive considerable support from the government because they bring in dental tourists. This also reduces the overall cost of operating their business down, which helps keep prices low.
