Dental treatment is maybe the most easy way to enjoy the benefits of medical tourism. We all have to visit our dentist regularly. In Europe you have pay around 300 Euro for a checkup and again 300 Euro for a cleaning. Together that is close to 3000 THB for a treatment you pay only 1000 THB for in Thailand. If you start to compare prices for dental work like bridges, crowns and veneers that you might need, and then compare with the price at home you might find that the difference pays for airtravel and hotel in Thailand.
Cosmetic dentistry is one other growing area of medical tourism. Most people are dreaming of a white "Hollywood" smile. A home whitening kit with plastic trays cost 6000 THB, Laser whitening cost 12,000 THB and takes less than one hour at the clinic. Dental veneers in porcelain costs 9,000 THB per each. A full set of veneers is yours for less than 130,000 THB but be prepared to stay here for at least 10 days.
