Are you wondering why more and more people are heading towards Costa Rica for dental tourism?

There’s an increasing trend of dental tourism in the world from developed nations. Dental tourism in Costa Rica is experiencing its highest growth. People are choosing Costa Rica for their dental treatments and it has become the best dental tourism spot in the world. There are several reasons for choosing Costa Rica for dental tourism. Some of them are:

This is resulting in are missing dental appointments. According to the National Association of Dental Plans, only 23% of the American population has dental insurance coverage. However, over 50% of the population has dental coverage from their employers. But on average, employees get $1500 dental insurance only. If compared, the prices of dental treatments in the US are far more than this dental insurance allowance. Thus, dental insurance fails to cover the expense of the treatment.

To overcome this problem, US citizens are choosing Costa Rica for their treatments which provides them with the same quality service, along with a saving of 50 to 70% compared to the US.

  • Low Crime Rate

Before going to a foreign country, one needs to check various aspects. One of them is the country’s crime rate. You want to know whether it is safe to visit it.

Costa Rica has the lowest crime rate in Latin America. This is also because it has a 96% literacy rate, making it the most literate country in Central America.

The dentists in Costa Rica get at least a 5 years college degree. Most of them also pursue a further specialization that takes an additional 2 to 3 years. This means the dentists are well educated and qualified. They get their work permit from the government by registering to the National College of Dental Surgeons. Before completing your appointment process at any dental clinic, check the license of that dentist online. Another easier way is to book your appointment with The Costa Rica Dental Tourism Guide. They recommend only licensed dentists.

  • Quick Travel

Another reason Costa Rica is the best choice for dental tourism for the US and Canada patients is direct flights. The flight from the US to Costa Rica takes only 4 hours whereas; approximately 7 hours long from Canada. Though this also depends on the city one is flying from.
