Affordable Dentures and Inexpensive Root Canals Are Just A Short Trip Away
Monterrey, Mexico, December 22nd, 2009
A crucial part of our overall health is the care and maintenance of our teeth and gums. Although we may pay special attention to the condition of the rest of our bodies, often times we overlook the required dental visits that we should be having twice a year. In any case, whether one is a regular visitor to the dentist, or has missed a few appointments, it is inevitable that one day news will strike that a costly dental procedure is necessary in order to preserve our beautiful smile and healthy mouth.
Although these procedures may be necessary, they do not have to break our pocketbooks. The trend of Medical Travel is opening the doors for Americans to know that they have high quality, low cost healthcare options very close by. In the case of dentistry, patients can save anywhere from 25%-40% including travel. Gabriel Senior, CEO of Travel For Care states “it makes much more sense for a patient to come here to Monterrey, or to our dental clinic in Nuevo Laredo, than to pay full price with their dentist at home. Our network of dentists is specialized and well trained to meet each patient’s needs, at prices which they can afford.”
Patricio Villareal, founder of the Imagen Dental Clinics states, “We have a team of well-trained specialists and state-of-the-art technology which allows us to offer high quality dental care, but at just a fraction of the U.S cost.” For example, the same three root canals plus crowns that cost approximately $4,500 to repair in the U.S. are only about $2,400 at the hands of the best professionals in Monterrey. That is just one of many dental procedures offered; others include but are not limited to: cavity repairs, veneers, endodoncy, extractions, teeth whitening, dentures, bridges, and implants. A city which not many Americans are familiar with today is on track to provide one of the solutions sought by the nation during this difficult health crisis.
Even though this Mexican price may seem high for Americans used to crossing to border towns to get their teeth done, seasoned Medical Travelers understand that if you are making the move towards dentistry abroad, settle only for the best. As an example, the difference between the much publicized $800 all inclusive implant and crown offered in places like Nuevo Progreso or Los Algodones (both famous, cheap dentistry border towns close to Texas and Arizona respectively) will probably show when sub-par quality in materials and service has patients wishing they had chosen the best dental clinics, spending around $1,500, and still saving about 50% compared to their local dentist. Selecting these top dental clinics is less of a hassle when counting on experienced Medical Travel firms which know the market and offer free guidance, assistance and even on-site service.
