With a single US implant averaging $4,410 and a full mouth running tens of thousands, many Americans look abroad. But how much do you actually save once flights and hotels are counted? This open dataset benchmarks 7 major dental-tourism hubs against US prices on a comparable treatment basket.
Key finding: after travel costs, net savings on a major dental basket range from 56% in Thailand to 82% in Turkey; the nearest hubs for US patients — Mexico (Los Algodones/Cancun, 69%) and Colombia (69%) — combine high savings with a short flight, so the breakeven treatment value is low.
