Dental Implants Abroad: Save Thousands on Your New Smile
By Travel4Treatment Medical Team

## The Dental Implant Cost Crisis
In the US and UK, dental work is notoriously expensive:
| Procedure | USA Price | UK Price |
|-----------|-----------|----------|
| Single implant | $3,000-$6,000 | £2,000-£3,500 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | $20,000-$30,000 | £12,000-£18,000 |
| Full mouth restoration | $60,000-$90,000 | £40,000-£60,000 |
Most dental insurance covers little to none of this.
## Dental Tourism Savings
| Procedure | USA | Mexico | India | Turkey |
|-----------|-----|--------|-------|--------|
| Single implant | $4,500 | $1,200 | $600 | $800 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | $25,000 | $6,000 | $4,000 | $5,000 |
| Full mouth (both arches) | $50,000 | $12,000 | $8,000 | $10,000 |
| Zirconia crown | $1,500 | $350 | $150 | $200 |
