m e d i c a l - t o u r i s m DENTAL INDIA ---- Dentists and Dental Clinics in India. MORE AND MORE PEOPLE THESE DAYS ARE VENTURING TO INDIA TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CHEAP AND GENERALLY HIGH QUALITY MEDICAL FACILITIES THERE. This is the land of the US$1 dental checkup, where a night in a 3-star hotel will set you back only $20 a night... Medical treatment in India is said to be three to 5 times cheaper than in any other country. In Australia, a porcelain veneer could cost you AUS$800-$1200 a tooth. At Dr Madhvi's Dental Clinic in New Delhi, the same procedure will cost you just US$100 each tooth. Of course, you have to pay for the airfare to get there, but after your operation you can enjoy a holiday in the capital of one of the most colorful countries in the world, with easy access to the Taj Mahal, and other wonders! Nonetheless sceptics abound, and the misconception persists, that India is an unsafe country. As BootsNAll's Colin Todhunter reported: "Like many westerners, I am always a bit dubious about receiving health treatment in India mainly because horror stories abound, some real but most imaginary, about standards of hygiene and care. Some other traveller had recommended a dentist, so I attended just to check it out. I looked through the window and all seemed to be in order. It was fairly clean, had a waiting room, and had various certificates of qualification framed and hanging on the wall. So I told myself that I would visit for treatment the next day based on my in-depth analysis and evaluation of the place. It's amazing just how much comfort can be gained from just glancing through a window and seeing a few chairs..." It's amazing just how much comfort can be gained from just glancing through a window and seeing a few chairs and pieces of paper... or by reading accounts of those who have been before you, faced the drill, and came out to tell the story. That is what this guide is all about -- a record of the tales of those who have been before. Dental treatment in India is inexpensive as compared to the western countries. For an upfront comparison of the costs of dental work in India and the United States, study this table:  Dental Treatment Description  Cost in USA ($)*  Cost in India ($)* Dental Implants 2,000.00 600.00 Porcelain-Metal Crown/Bridge 600.00 70.00 Root canal Treatment 500.00 50.00 Tooth colored composite fillings 150.00 15.00 * all costs per tooth  There you go, dentistry in India is much cheaper than dentistry in the United States. It beats the hell out of Australia, where I currently live. Outsourcing your needs to the Developing World is what this website is about. And when it comes to outsourcing your dentist, there is no better place to go, than India. OUTSOURCE YOUR DENTIST ---- Dental Clinics in India. Delhi Dental: E-143, East of Kailash, Delhi, India.

I send my heartfelt thanks." MEDICAL TOURISM IN INDIA ---- A Growing Medical Superpower. The phenomenon is another example of how India is profiting from globalization -- the growing integration of world economies -- just as it has already done in such other service industries as insurance and banking, which are outsourcing an ever-widening assortment of office tasks to the country. A recent study by the McKinsey consulting firm estimated that India's medical tourist industry could yield as much as $2.2 billion in annual revenue by 2012. "If we do this right, we can heal the world," said Prathap C. Reddy, a physician who founded Apollo Hospitals, a 6,400-bed chain that is headquartered in the coastal city of Chennai and is one of the biggest private health care providers in Asia. The trend is still in its early stages. Most of the foreigners treated in India come from other developing countries in Asia, Africa or the Middle East, where top-quality hospitals and health professionals are often hard to find. Patients from the United States and Europe still are relatively rare -- not only because of the distance they must travel but also, hospital executives acknowledge, because India continues to suffer from an image of poverty and poor hygiene that discourages many patients. Which suggests the problem facing Medical Tourism -- credibility. Medical tourists leave their own countries for care for many different reasons. In some regions of the world such as Bangladesh, state-of-the-art medical facilities are hard to come by, if they exist at all. With the intensification of the civil war in Iraq, for example, and the flight of its middle class to safer realms, it is reputed that there is not a single dentist left in Baghdad. Ditto for skilled specialists. In other countries, the public health-care system is so overburdened that it can take years to get needed care. In Britain and Canada, for instance, the waiting period for a hip replacement can be a year or more, while in Bangkok or Bangalore, a patient can be in the operating room the morning after getting off a plane. And you will be greeted with a smile, rather than the customary scowl of the overworked West! The Perfect Thai Vacation: Sun, Sea and Surgery Print Single-Page Save Share DiggFacebookNewsvinePermalink By SETH M Thailand, the land of temples, floating markets and elephant rides, Having put just about everything else it has on the market for foreign visitors, Thailand has turned to what it calls medical tourism, offering services that range from dental care to cancer treatments. The attractions for a visitor are top-quality medical care, extremely low cost and a side trip to the beach. ''We thought, listen, we have really excellent medical facilities here and we have excellent holidays,'' said Teerapol Chotichanapibal, director of Royal Orchid Holidays. ''If you can come and get a clean bill of health and then go and enjoy your holiday, what could be better?'' Katty Anderson, of Carmel, Calif., opted for a physical exam while on a visit to Thailand and says, ''I tell the story of my experience to everyone, which I thought was fabulous, the efficiency and the speed. What happened to me was just the absolute opposite to anything that could happen in the United States. I came out saying, you see, it can be done.'' When she tells people she had medical care in Thailand, she says, ''They roll their eyes up in their heads and say, 'I can imagine.' And I say, 'No, you can't.' '' Thailand made its name as a medical destination in the 1970's with one of its specialties, sex-change operations, known more formally as gender reassignment surgery, or G.R.S. ''Something like that, as you know, is impossible in America,'' she added. ''I mean, it's inconceivable.'' MEDICAL TOURISM IN THAILAND ---- A Popular Destination. "As for me, I'm going to a bigger and more "expensive" dental facility. I called last night at 6:30 pm and was able to get an appointment for a cleaning and consultation today at 11:30 am at Thantakit Dental Clinic. There are 30 dentists who all speak English, and many of them had overseas training in New York, Missouri, Toronto, and various other places..." THAILAND ---- Bumrungrad Hospital, Bangkok.
