Importance of Dental Tourism in India

India is emerging as one of the promising destinations for medical tourism in the world. Thousands of people from Europe, USA, Canada and other parts of the world fly to India every year seeking medical treatment. It is reported that dental tourism constitutes 10% of Indian medical tourism which might grow to an extent of 30% by 2018. Despite the fact that tourists specify various reasons for their travel, the major pointer is the cost of dental surgery and dental implants, which is generally economical in India. Despite the recession and slump downs in the market, many foreigners still travel to India for various dental treatments.

Health care quality in India has seen a remarkable growth in recent years. Aside from the costs of dental treatment, dental tourists find India a very attractive country to travel. India is rich in culture and has some beautiful places to visit including fantastic hill stations, world-class beaches, mountains, historical monuments, forts, temples, and churches.

A combination of three key factors – accessibility, quality, and cost – has been fuelling the unparalleled growth witnessed in the Indian dental tourism industry. An English speaking population, competence, at par technology, alternative medicine, and attractive tourist destinations are some factors that are mainly responsible for India’s escalating dental tourism.

It’s no more a blown out of proportion thing as dental treatments in India is, in fact, several times cheaper when compared to the developed countries. Undeniably, foreign patients undergoing extensive dental procedures in India, which includes the travel expenses, can be considerably cheaper than the same procedures at their home country.

With sophisticated and high-end facilities available at an affordable rate and with prospects of visiting Indian attractions, India tops the chart in dental tourism for safe, secure and satisfying dental vacation to patients from all over the world.
