Prisma Dental Clinic in San Jose, Costa Rica, is a full-service dental clinic, established in 1984. It is staffed by a team of competent dentists and offers a range of dental services in well-appointed facilities.

Why do people travel out of the country for dental work?

If you have medical insurance–and large numbers of people simply don’t–dental work is not usually covered by insurance. Even if you have insurance provided by your employer, you probably don’t have any dental coverage.

Since dental work is something you have to pay for, you may simply not get it done. While this may be an option where cosmetic procedures are concerned, it is really not possible if you need dental care like fillings, root canals, dentures or any necessary procedure. You may even avoid routine visits to the dentist for a yearly check-up.

While you may save money by not going to a dentist, you are compromising on your dental health. And since oral health affects your overall physical health, it can have a negative effect in the long run. When good quality dental care is available at cheap prices in other countries, it makes sense to go there. That is why dental tourism is a booming industry.

A Medical Tourism Survey shows that people travel for good quality medical care at low-cost prices. As travel time also plays an important role in this, large numbers of people don’t mind a few hours of travel time. The fact that they can have a holiday at the same time is an added bonus.
