Hybrid Dental Tourism with Dental Concepts : FAQ

Dental Tourism is a huge topic at the moment, with the search terms ‘Turkey veneers’ dominating when it comes to googling dental veneers. While dental tourism can be a great option for people looking to have a smile makeover at a more affordable price, it’s essential you choose a reputable provider. Here at Dental Concepts, we offer hybrid dental tourism, where you can receive treatment at our Mumbai, India clinic and have aftercare here in the UK. This unique approach allows you the benefits of both worlds, while knowing you are in the safest hands!

We get many questions about our hybrid dental tourism model, so we’ve compiled some of the most common questions that might help you get a great understanding!

When I opt for dental tourism where will my treatment planning be done?

Despite opting for dental treatment in our Mumbai practice, your treatment planning will be done here in the UK. This ensures your comfort before jetting off for your ‘dental holiday’.

Is the team in Mumbai, India as good as the team in the UK?

The team in Mumbai are as skilled as our team here in the UK with specialisms in cosmetic dentistry and smile design. When you opt for dental tourism with Dental Concepts, you’re in very safe hands!

What dental treatments are commonly done in India?

Our practice in Mumbai is both a general and cosmetic practice, so we are not just a ‘cheap veneers’ abroad clinic, like many other dental tourism practices. Our most commonly requested treatments under our hybrid dental tourism scheme are dental implants, veneers and dental crowns. These treatments are done at a reduced cost, but at the same high quality as the work in the UK.

How is my travel booked and sorted?

Fear not, you will be assigned two treatment coordinators, one here in the UK and one in Mumbai. Your coordinators will assist with your travel bookings and any questions you may have along the way! Remember, we’re holding your hand the entire way through your hybrid dental tourism journey.

Is my travel included in my package?
Your allocated treatment coordinators will help you to organise your travels and the associated costs, this will help you understand the full cost of treatment with us in Mumbai.

How long do I need to be in Mumbai?

Now, your ‘dental holiday’ can last as long as you choose. We may require you for a certain number of visits in Mumbai, but this is typically within a week. Your treatment coordinators will discuss the number of appointments required and how long you will be needed in Mumbai. We recommend you stay for 1-2 weeks to enjoy the culture, the landmarks and soak up the sun.

How much do you save by travelling to Mumbai for treatment?

Depending on the treatment you opt for you could expect to save around 40-60% by opting to use our hybrid dental tourism option.

What vaccines will I need before I travel to India?

The only necessary vaccinations for India is Yellow Fever.

The following vaccines are recommended when travelling to India.

Diphtheria

Hepatitis A vaccination

Tetanus vaccination

Typhoid vaccination

These travel vaccinations can be obtained from your GP, a wellness centre, Boots or Superdrug.

Do I have aftercare included?

Absolutely, we look after you from the start to the end of your dental treatment.

Is India the best place to get dental implants abroad?

In our opinion, India is one of the best places for dental tourism due to the high experience and knowledge of dentists in India, the high adoption of the English language and stunning scenery and culture. Many people are visiting India for a ‘dental holiday’, but the amount of people heading to India for dental tourism is still much less than those visiting Turkey for veneers.

How do I schedule the appointments leading up to dental tourism?

You do not need to worry about organising your appointments, this will all be done through your allocated treatment coordinators.

Will I be able to enjoy my dental holiday?

Good question! When you jet out for dental tourism, you’d like to enjoy your ‘dental holiday’! Your recovery time will vary based on what treatment you go for, for example if you opt for dental veneers abroad with us, your recovery is minimal because it’s not an intrusive process, and you can continue your holiday immediately. For those people who opt for dental implants abroad with us, you may need to take 2-5 days a little easier.

Will I know my ‘dental holiday’ package before I fly for dental tourism?

Absolutely, we believe transparency is important, especially when opting for dental tourism, before making any travel arrangements we will discuss all treatment costs with you to ensure you are happy with the option and cost provided. When you first see our team, your dentist will create a couple of treatment plans for you, so you are able to choose one that suits your needs and budget, inline with their guidance.
