Dental implants can be expensive in western countries so many Australians and New Zealanders are interested in dental tourism. Destinations such as Phuket have clinics that offer low prices, and in Phuket, the dental implant price is only a fraction of what you would have to pay Down Under. This is without any reduction in quality, as clinics able to offer high-quality yet affordable dental implants in Phuket for the following reasons:
Lower Costs
Dental clinics in Phuket have much lower costs than clinics at home. There are many highly-qualified dentists, and while they could make more in western countries, they choose to live in their home country accepting lower salaries. Opening your own clinic is popular, and the dentist makes more money that way than just getting paid a salary by the clinic owner.
As such, with dental implants in Phuket you could save the following:
- Australia: AUD 5,098
- New Zealand: NZD 5,238
- Phuket: AUD 2,630 / NZD 2,871
Lower Cost of Living
Another big reason why you can get high quality yet cheap dental implants in Phuket is the lower living cost. Compared to first-world cities, Phuket’s lower cost of living translates into lower operating costs for businesses, with salaries, rent, and utilities all lower. This results in a lower dental bill for patients.
Stiff Competition
Dental clinics in Phuket provide care to many overseas based patients, who have no geographical ties to any clinic. Competition is natural, so instead of geography, clinics compete on price to attract and retain customers. This reduces their margin, and leads to higher levels of savings for patients.
People who are unaware of these reasons, think that the lower cost means lower quality but now you know that is not the case.
Choosing a Reliable Clinic
Phuket Dentists extensive screening process allows you certainty when choosing a clinic for your care. A staff member conducts an on-site visit to each listed clinic, verifies staff qualifications, and checks malpractice records.
The following clinics passed all these stringent tests and have been recommended by past patients:
