Dental Tourism: Balancing Price and Quality

Affordable Quality: The Ultimate Goal in Dental Care

Let’s get right to the point. You are looking for the lowest price to get the dental work you need, right? So, is the lowest price actually the best price? Maybe not. Undoubtedly, getting dental treatment in Mexico can save you thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars. But how do you know the lowest price will give you the quality you need?

For example, the cost of a dental filling depends on how many surfaces are being treated and the type of filling material. So, even if you got a quote for a lower price, ensure it reflects the same procedure. If you’re not making an “apples-to-apples” comparison, you can’t assume the lower price is best or accurate.

What do you know about the dentist who offered this price? What are their qualifications? What about their experience? What materials are they using? What credentials did they give? What is their guarantee for their services? What exactly is covered in the price? What if they charge more than the quoted price after you travel there?

Why the Lowest Price Isn’t Always the Best Price

Thousands of people turn to Beyond Borders Dental every month to save money. But our job is more important than that. People count on us to know our dentists and dental clinics, and to conduct thorough due diligence to ensure you get the quality you need while saving a lot of money. We are experts in this!

The lowest price may not be the best price, because a dentist charging less than the norm in Mexico may be doing so for a reason. They may use inferior materials. They may not have the proper training for the procedure you need. They may be less experienced. So, our job is to find you the lowest price available from a highly respected, experienced, and trustworthy dentist. If there were a lower price for the quality you need, we would refer you to that dental clinic!

Dental Treatment Horror Stories

We often hear about patients who received low-quality work or experienced early failure of dental materials. Sometimes, they have had severe infections, had dentures or implants fail, or found that the price did not include everything needed once they were at the dentist. Some of these people are coming to Beyond Borders Dental to help them fix the result of their poor treatment. So, the adage applies: “Buyer Beware!” People trust Beyond Borders Dental to get you the best price for the highest quality dental care.

Dr. Craig Barrows is a U.S. dentist near a Mexican border town who offers dental care. Here’s what Dr. Barrows says in an Ontario Academy of General Dentistry article. He has seen his share of patients who were unhappy with the work they received in this town of Mexico, and he says that U.S. patients get “completely taken advantage of.”

“Mexican dentists,” Barrows says, “can advertise on their websites that they are U.S.-trained but may have taken only a two-day course in the United States, giving unknowing patients the false impression that these dentists received their dental degrees from U.S. dental schools.”

Our experience is that patients are unfamiliar with educational institutions in other countries and don’t understand the organizations in each country that accredit dental schools to ensure they will receive the same level of care abroad as they would in the U.S. Beyond Borders Dental does the legwork of screening providers for you.
