People looking for cheaper dental care may want to go to Costa Rica.

The Central American country provides low-cost dental treatment that has proven to be of high quality. A person who goes to the country for dental can also decide to vacation there.

According to some studies, 90 percent of the cosmetic dentistry procedures are being performed on tourists.

Dental tourism and medical tourism is a growing industry. Many people now plan trips to countries in which they can receive some medical or dental treatment and enjoy a vacation during the same visit. There are some companies that are beginning to focus solely on these kinds of trips.

There are some dentists, however, that refuse to be part of a package in which the patients come to a place to vacation and receive dental work.

It remains to be seen if this kind of dental tourism will continue and if the standard of care is similar to that of dentists in the travelers’ home countries.
