Dental care in western countries can be expensive which is why an increasing number of Australians and New Zealanders travel to Phuket for dental work. In Phuket, dental treatment is a fraction of what you would pay in Sydney, Perth or Auckland, and the quality of care is just as high.
Many are sceptical about the charms of Phuket for dental work, so if you are unsure how the clinics manage to provide inexpensive dental implants in Phuket, this review will inform you how they keep their prices low whilst maintaining world-class standards:
The Low Cost of Living
One of the main reasons the clinics can provide reasonably priced dental implants is the affordable cost of living in Thailand. The clinics pay less in salaries, rent, insurance, and other costs so they can pass on the savings to customers,
Many say that the clinics use cheap materials, and although the Thai government provides support in terms of tax breaks, the only reason material costs are lower is the delivery charges are reduced.
Competition
Another reason for the lower prices is the high levels of competition between clinics. Unlike in the west, there are lots of highly qualified dentists who need patients. As such, the clinics compete on cost to attract patients.
How Much Can You Save?
Dental implants in Phuket are on average less than half the price of those in Australia and New Zealand, as shown in the price comparison below:
- Australia: AUD 5,098
- New Zealand: NZD 5,238
- Phuket: AUD 2,630 / NZD 2,871
High-Quality Facilities
The dentists working in Thailand are highly qualified, with many having undertaken at least part of their training in the US or Australia. As well as English fluency, they bring back knowledge of international dental and hygiene standards, which are now common in Thai clinics. Most of the dentists operating the clinics in Phuket also have years of experience, with many specialized in certain procedures due to the number of dental tourists needing the same care.
The clinics themselves are modern and contemporary, with all the latest technology. Some even have on-site laboratories to speed up or improve the quality of some procedures. The following clinics have been highly recommended by past patients:
