Australian Dental Unaffordable For Most

MOST Australian's cannot afford dental in their own country! How bad is that? There's been plenty in the media about it too...how unaffordable dental is in Australia.

Here's what was written in the Australian Newspaper http://bit.ly/ieOSPz . Meditour some years back noted that Australian dental work could not compete on price with comparable work in the Philippines and throughout Asia. The standard of work, the depth of training and the use of world standard proceedures and materials are available at a fraction of the cost.

Having dental in the Philippines is a great option for those that don't have health insurance. You can afford to have a complete restoration of your teeth and it will be up to 80% less than comparable proceedures done in Australia.
Meditour works closely with The Philippine Department of Tourism , The Philippine Department of Health, The Philippine Dental Association members and the Makati Tourism Foundation members who can put you in touch with the best dentists in the Philippines.

FAQ's

Q: Will I actually save money with the extra costs by flying to the Philippines and staying in a hotel?

A: It is a common knowledge that dental treatment is very costly in Australia. For example, the common procedure of porcelain crown and bridge would regularly cost $800 to $1200 per unit. In the Philippines, the customary rate for this procedure is merely $100 to $200 and can be done in a shorter period of time because of the availability of local but world-class dental laboratories. Other dental procedures will cost much less and can save a substantial amount you can allot to pay for your airfare and other holiday expenditures.

Q: How do I find out the cost of treatment?

A: Send Meditour your requirements or the best way is to send Meditour a treatment plan given by your local dentist. Any X rays you have would also help. Even pictures taken of your teeth help the dentists give you a close cost estimate.

Q: How long will I need to be away from home?

A: Of course it depends on the treatment required. We have found the average is 10 days but we have had people treated in as little as 5 days. If you send us your requirements, our dentists can give a fairly accurate length of time needed.

Q: People tell me it is not hygienic to have dental treatment performed in Asia. How can I be sure that the clinics are clean?

A: Filipino dentists can be at par with any foreign dentist. Through their continuing education, awareness, and access to modern equipment, local dentists can truly be comparable to foreign practitioners.
