Why is the cost of dental work in Medellin so inexpensive?
How is it possible to have premier cosmetic dental work done in Medellin for such a low price? There are many factors that go into it but the main one comes down to how cheap the cost of labor is in Medellin.
Everything is less expensive because of it. Rent, food, services, and most everything else is about a third the price. Your dollar goes a lot further in Medellin.
Understand that the significant drop in price has nothing to do with dentists in Medellin using cheaper or inferior dental products. In fact, most dentists in Colombia use the exact same top American and European dental manufacturers as dentists back home.
We proudly use BioHorizons, Microdent, Zimmer, and Straumann.
Share previous x-rays and/or treatment plans to get a quote
If you’re like many, you’ve explored getting cosmetic dental work back home but have been turned away by the price tag.
If you have copies of your current x-rays and/or treatment plan, please share them with your dentist in Medellin. Medical information like this will make it easier to build a more accurate estimate and dental treatment plan for you.
If these are not available, complete a free online consultation
If you don’t have prior x-rays and/or treatment plans available for review, taking photos of your teeth is the next best option.
We have a free online consultation form you can easily complete on your phone. It’s a short form that will guide you in taking 5 specific photos we need to make a proper assessment. We’re examining your bite, the straightness of your teeth, gaps, and other issues we can easily see.
Please understand that these photos will not replace the need of taking x-rays and/or having a physical clinical examination. This will simply help us make a more informed initial diagnosis.
Costs for treatments with multiple phases are split between trips
A lot of dental work is done in multiple phases, like implants. If this applies to your dental work in Medellin, know that the cost of treatment will be split between the trips.
This will save you from having to have all the money up front, making things financially easier.
Remember your flights when calculating the cost of dental work in Medellin
The cost of dental work itself isn’t the only thing you have to keep in mind. You have to get to Medellin, Colombia in the first place right?
Good news, there are many, inexpensive, short flights that go to Colombia on a daily basis. A lot of flights go direct to Colombia but if not, you’ll most likely connect in Florida or Georgia. Getting to Medellin is easy too. It’s a cheap, hour flight from either Bogota or Cartagena.
You also will not have to worry about any significant time zone changes as depending on the time of year, Medellin is in EST or PST. This is because Colombia does not observe daylight savings. This makes Colombia a better choice than Turkey, India, or Thailand in this regard.
Consider the hotel when determining the cost of dental work in Medellin
Hotel nights are another thing that will add to your total cost. There are many excellent hotel options in Medellin.
You can sleep in a great hotel for $40 USD a night or splurge and stay at a luxury hotel for just $150 USD a night. Hostels and Airbnbs are also fantastic options to explore.
Factor in food and transportation when figuring out the cost of dental work in Medellin
Food is inexpensive, natural, and high quality. You can eat like royalty in Medellin for just $15 USD a day. These costs are not so significant but they should still be calculated when totaling your cost of dental work in Medellin.
Transportation is also cheap. Taxis are everywhere and you can also call a car using Uber whenever is convenient from your phone. Again, expect things to be about a third the price.
Know that most dentists in Medellin (us included) will also have a staff member greet you at the airport, check you into wherever you’re staying, and show you to your first appointment so things are as easy as possible for you.
