How We Compare

50 U.S. cities. Three destinations.

World-class dental care is closer — and far cheaper — than most Americans realize. Find your city, see the flight times, and weigh the savings side by side.

Why it costs less

Same quality. A fraction of the price.

The materials, labs and implant brands are identical worldwide. What you pay extra for in the U.S. isn't better dentistry — it's the overhead stacked on top of it. Here's where a U.S. fee actually goes.

The part no one explains

And insurance barely helps.

Cosmetic work isn't covered. Veneers, smile makeovers and elective crowns are excluded by U.S. dental plans — you pay 100% out of pocket.
Even covered work hits a ceiling. Dental plans cap out around $1,000–$2,000 a year, so any real case blows past the maximum fast.
That's the real sticker shock. With no third party absorbing the cost, you face full U.S. retail. Abroad you also pay out of pocket — but retail is a fraction.
