How Much Can Dental Travellers Save on Different Procedures
Patients booking through Dental Departures can expect to save:
Approximately 50% on light treatments, such as general/preventative dentistry or non-invasive cosmetic work. Such procedures include: professional cleaning, scaling & polishing, teeth whitening, simple root canals, extractions, and fillings.
Between 50–75% on more complex, specialty care–typically involving the application of fixed prosthetics to restore missing, damaged, or discolored teeth.
Such procedures include: All-on-4s, implant-retained overdentures, full-mouth restorations with multiple dental crowns, and Hollywood smile makeovers with a full set of dental veneers.
