All-On-4 Dental Implants: What About Dental Tourism?

Have you ever considered going overseas to get Dental Implants?
Let me share with you a Pros and Cons list to help you make an informed decision.
Pros
It’s cheaper right? But you get what you pay for.
You get a vacation at the same time (really?).
Con’s
Lack of regulations – What are the regulations in the country you’re considering? Quite often you’ll find a lack of or inferior regulations. What if the Implant fails after you return home? Are you going to fly off again, take time off of work, hotels, flights? Not so cheap anymore!
Follow up care – Follow up is not nearly as important to an overseas provider because you come, you pay, you go! Your local Dentists is much more concerned with follow up because you’re a lifelong patient. At Blooming Family Dental we offer a 5-Year Warranty for all of our work!*
You can’t enjoy a vacation – It’s a big myth that you’ll enjoy a great vacation at the same time as your treatment. The nerves before the treatment and the after-treatment care required are not going to put you in a vacation mood. And a long flight home after the surgery? 200 people in a confined space coming from a country with untold tropical and exotic diseases…Rather you than me!
Reputation – How can you possibly know the reputation of a Dental Practice in another country? Who are you actually dealing with?
Infection – There’s really no way for you to know the standards adhered to in another country. We’re not saying all overseas providers are bad, not at all, there are no doubt some great ones but we’re simply pointing out some considerations that you might not have thought of that make Dental Tourism a little more expensive than you might first think.

I am sorry that I am moving because I really had a great experience at Blooming Family Dental. Dr. Chang and his staff are very friendly and good! Everything is high tech and new, the suite looks modern and fresh. They also offered me a discount because I did not carry insurance and they have affordable dental plans as well. I am sad that I will not be able to go back again!

Best dental experience ever. Everyone is so friendly and they take you on time for your appointment, no waiting. Very modern and clean facility. Nice technology, you see your teeth xray and scan right away displayed on TV and see everything for yourself. They will also explain things and show you what they're talking about which is nice. A+

Dr. Kim and the entire staff are amazing ... I am the biggest baby when it comes to the dentist and they made me feel extremely comfortable. I can honestly say it was pain free. They were so understanding and gentle. I highly recommend them and won't go anywhere else.
